Branbridges Leisure

Liked We stayed in the waterside safari tent for two nights and had such a lovely relaxing time. The tent had everything you need and was lovely to bbq on the decking and then move to the firepot for some marshmallows and more relaxing into the evening. Lots of lovely nature and wildlife and a secluded spot away from other campers on the main campsite. All the staff were so lovely and helpful and would really reccomend a stay here!

Thank you for the relaxing reset we both needed!

Disliked Nothing!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review! So glad you enjoyed your stay 😊

Liked Lovely setting in woodland and a lovely walked in the centre so wherever your tent is you have views of the lake. There’s an onsite caffe serving food and drink all day with toilets including baby changing facilities and disabled facilities. Also onsite there’s 2 showers and a toilet. Just outside the camp through the side gate is the river Medway and you can hire canoes or paddle boards on site or take your own and launch for a small fee. For children there’s large games set out on the central green a fishing for the children and adults is also free in the central lake and there also chickens and a goat that are also very friendly. Just outside the camp and a 2 minute walk is a petrol station and co-op if you need food supplies and of course fuel and that’s 24 hours. The people who run the site are very friendly and helped me out of a situation when my battery went flat on my car because I left my coolbox attached to it all night so lesson learnt there. Gates get locked every night but your given the code incase you want to go out for a walk or to the local amenities at any time.

Disliked Only thing I would have liked to see was electric hook ups on some of the plots if you was in need of them. They are making the site bigger so hopefully that’s something they will add in time as it would be a pretty easy thing to add with the way they have set out the plots.

From the manager: Thanks so much! This is great to hear. We were more than happy to help you with your car trouble too 😊

Yes we are planning to extend and add to the site, logistics of power around the woods is tricky but certainly something we are looking at for the future.

Liked We liked Everything, nicely established tent and motorhome pitches. Drinking water and showers/toilet close by. Beautiful location for canoeing on the river

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

From the manager: Great to hear you liked everything and enjoyed your stay. Thank you 😊

Liked We had 2 woodland pitches, loved the privacy of this. Helpful staff/owner? Grassed area with games etc was a nice touch. Walk along the river was really lovely and watching a boat pass through the Loch was great fun. Cafe onsite nice option but we didn't need to use.

Disliked Location of toilets when staying in woodland pitch was quite a distance, especially after dark, and loo roll ran out later in the evenings in all 3.
Pitch size slightly small for our large tent.
Mosquitos. Take lots of repellant.

From the manager: Thanks so much for your review 😊 We are sorry if you felt the location of the toilets was quite a distance. You was originally booked for the grass field, which would have been closer and changed to the woodland as we had pitches available there too. We do not allocate pitches, this way it allows campers have a walk around to choose based on their requirements/ tent sizes etc. Apologies for the loo roll! We replenish every night before we leave, it's hard to judge how much campers will go through.

Liked We liked how friendly staff was on arrival, the pitches were very spaced out therefore felt private at times. Safe for the children who are 15 and 10 to walk around. We got lessons for paddle boarding and our instructor was super friendly and got all of us paddleboarding in no time. A truly enjoyable experience. The whole family cannot wait to visit again. Surrounding area was woodland and peaceful.

From the manager: Thanks so much for your lovely review 😊 Great to hear what a great time you had!

Liked Amazing place super friendly great facikities

Disliked 1 pound for 3 minutes to shower not great with kids who are not quick to shower !!

Liked What an absolutely beautiful little campsite! Ideally situated right by the river so perfect for bringing our paddle boards and popping out whenever we wanted. The site itself is quiet and pretty, the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. We stayed on a busy booking weekend, a half term stay, but barely noticed other campers at all. Showers are cute and clean. Coop just over the road for anything you have forgotten. Cafe on site had excellent food and more than one vegan option. We will definitely be recommending the site to people we know and returning next year for another visit. You are quickly transported to another place entirely and honestly could be on holiday anywhere at all.

Disliked Tiny thing. The toilet door needs better privacy for night time. Net curtains do not work well at night when there is a light on inside!

Liked We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Branbridges Leisure. The pitches are spacious, the campsite quiet and relaxing, whilst also being family friendly. The site felt secure and safe, and the facilities clean and tidy. The staff welcoming and incredibly helpful. The lack of WiFi was refreshing so we could disconnect from our devices for a couple of days.

Disliked There was nothing we disliked about our stay.

Liked Relaxed atmosphere with plenty of space for camping and also for the kids to play, run by really friendly and helpful people.
Loved having the river so close by.
Short walk to local shop and takeaway a few minutes drive away was really convenient too.
We’ll definitely be back!

Disliked Only thing I can think of is the loo roll ran out late evening and wasn’t restocked until the next day

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review! We hope to see you again soon 😊

Apologies about the loo roll - you wouldn't believe how much we get through 😂

Liked Received a warm welcome at this lovely site. The entrance via a small industrial estate does not prepare you for the delights this site has to offer. The whole set up has been managed so well and provided a much needed break for a couple of nights. We booked last minute in the lakeside Safari tent which had everything provided and featured a lovely veranda over the lake.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this site. Campers can have open pit fires and BBQs and fish for free in the lake. The local Co-op store is just outside the campsite so no need to drive to pick up those last minute items. The campsite offers canoeing & paddleboarding directly on the river and we found a few lovely local walks with the dog.
The staff are excellent and can't do enough for you.

From the manager: We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your break and that you felt that the site is well managed. Sounds like you had a wonderful time and thank you for your kind comments 😊
