  • Off-grid farm site outside Eastchurch on the Isle of Sheppey
  • Views over the Thames Estuary and a 10-minute drive from beaches
  • Meet the farm animals on site and buy free-range eggs for breakfast
Cooking up a few fresh free-range eggs for a cracking Kent coastal breakfast? What a way to start the day. That terrific view out over the Thames Estuary isn’t the only option as breakfast backdrop for guests at Clifftop Camping though. Pitches at this scenic Isle of Sheppey farm site are sorted on a pick-your-own basis, so you’re welcome to meander around the meadow, woodland and pond areas too before selecting a spot in which to settle. And those eggs? Well, they’re from the hens that reside on this working farm. You can buy their offerings while you’re staying here, and meet their pals too: the current roster includes sheep, goats, horses, ponies, ducks and rheas. This is an off-grid site so you’ll need to step away from the gadgets – but sea views trump screen time anyway, eh?. It’s also pretty stripped-back on the facilities front, but there is one compost toilet and one tented chemical toilet, and you can access water in the farmyard. For eats and supplies, a couple of pubs and shops are a mile away in Eastchurch; bigger supermarkets, restaurants and the like are 10 minutes’ drive away in Sheerness. Ins and outs should be fairly easy here, as you’re only around a 20-minute drive from the M2 and an hour or so from London. If you’d rather roam on public transport, there’s a bus connection to Eastchurch from Sheerness station.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Outstanding views and space was plentiful. Away from the crowds and totally wild.

Disliked Unfortunately we believed a chemical toilet point was available as it is advertised on the pitch up listing. When we arrived I enquired to see where this was located, only to be told “we do not have one”

This is a massive factor when booking. I was left with going out to public toilets every time I wanted to empty. If I had known this was not available I would have never booked to visit. Our neighbour with a Motorhome was also very disgruntled about this.

Extract from website (cut and paste) description, I couldn’t upload screen shot, chemical disposal detailed in the last sentence ;

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Really beautiful and lovely camping site. Was pretty quiet throughout our stay so we were able to pitch our tent right by the edge of the cliff. The views are amazing; especially at sunrise and sunset and there are a few fire pits around to enjoy some evening camp fires. Catherine was very lovely as well and really made us feel welcome.

Disliked Would be even nicer with showers available. Definitely would be up for staying longer if that was the case. Also not a lot to do in the local area and not enough walking trails or activities

Local attractions

If you’ve picked a place called Clifftop Camping it’s highly likely you’ll be after a bit of coast action. The quickest way to get it is to clamber down the cliffs (easier than it might sound; no abseiling needed) for a quiet little beach with some fab sea fishing to be done. Other options nearby include Minster Leas beach (10 minutes’ drive) and Shellness beach (20 minutes), where there's also a naturist area for folk seeking a skinny dip. Active types are well sorted for things to keep them busy too: saddle up at the stables five minutes away, tee off at Sheerness Golf Club (10 minutes’ drive) or breeze over to Barton's Point Coastal Park (10 minutes) for a nature trail, adventure playground and watersports. For a nod to travels of the past, it’s off to Eastchurch Aviation Museum (five minutes) or a narrow-gauge ride on the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway (20 minutes). Doddington Place Gardens are just over half an hour away if you’re more interested in gentle wanderings.
