Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Plenty of room and quiet for 2 nights, but it was the middle of June and midweek.

Disliked: Facilities, obviously recently refurbished, plenty of room in shower enclosure, however not sure if there were enough it the site was busy. Hot water was lukewarm at best and went cold when other showers were in use.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Great site, we've stayed here several times as its handy for visiting family. Ideal if your a fisherman ( I'm not) and also great for dogs with large off lead field. Fantastic cafe on site which is very popular with locals . Shower and Toilet block are to a good standard and are well maintained with lots of hot water. There are also 5 pitches for C&MC Members as a CL.

Disliked: Nothing really, probably a couple more water points on lower side of field, but that's all.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Great site, and the onsite cafe had really good food

Disliked: Would like more obvious pitches. It was a bit of a free-for-all, which meant that when we left in the motorhome, the pitch we had was then taken, which meant we had to look for another one

Local attractions

You're never too far from the coast in Kent, and a 10-minute trip takes you to the Sandwich and Pegwell Bay National Nature Reserve for walking trails and wildlife spotting. Ramsgate (15 minutes' drive) has a rich amount to offer, with a sandy beach, seal spotting and fishing trips from the harbour, and a maritime museum. If you're hankering after some more history, Richborough (five minutes) has a well-preserved Roman fort and amphitheatre. A minute from the site, meanwhile, the White Mill Rural Heritage Centre is far more than a striking building to photograph; the exhibits and outhouses of this preserved 19th-century smock mill record a whole vanished way of Kentish country life. For cobbled lanes and cathedral tours, Canterbury is 20 minutes away. After that, connect with your wild side at Howletts Wild Animal Park (20 minutes), a conservation project rather than a zoo which houses and protects the future of 400 species, many of them endangered. After hanging with the elephant herds and greeting the baby rhinos, Dreamland Margate (also 20 minutes) makes you feel like you've stepped into another universe, with traditional fairground rides and amusements bringing the former days of seaside entertainment back to life with a whoop.
