The Hop Farm

Me gustó Freedom to pitch up wherever you want to.
Location for easy access to river.
Lovely and clean
Fab walks
We stayed on the non electric pitches

No me gustó The site needs more toilets and definitely more water points. To have a site that big with only one block of toilets and showers and one water point is really not good

Me gustó Everything about it

Lo recomendaría a mis amigos Lo visitaría de nuevo

Me gustó We liked the open space and the freedom to choose where you want to pitch. (Grass pitches with no hook up). Plenty of large fields to choose from, no problem getting away from the crowd and into the more natural areas of the park.

No me gustó There's only one toilet block, it can be a trek if you're parked along way from it. The toilet facilities are ok but looking a little tired.

Del administrador: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to leave a review as they do help people when deciding where to stay.
There are 2 toilet and shower blocks which are next to each other rather than a distance apart and can be a long walk from the further away fields. For those who have their own facilities or bring a toilet tent the distance is not a problem.
We look forward to welcoming you again.

Me gustó The environment and location of the site

No me gustó Ablutions not quite up to standard

Lo recomendaría a mis amigos Lo visitaría de nuevo

Me gustó Huge site. No actual pitches unless you require electric hookup. Nice location near the canal.

No me gustó No recycling bins.
Only one toilet / shower block.
Kids Park is shut.
Pizza stall selling on Friday night, unadvertised.

Del administrador: I guess you pitched up in one of our open fields near the Medway River as guests on non-electric can choose which field to go in to.
The bins are mixed and re-cycling gets done by Biffa upon collection.
There are 2 toilet and shower blocks, however they are right next to each other.
The family farm, park, museums and Oast houses were permanently closed in March 2023 which is why there is no mention of it when looking to book on Pitch-up or on the Hop Farm website.
There is a colour poster advertising when the pizza van is here both on the counter in front of you when you check-in and on the wall outside the reception office/shop.
There are also takeaways and restaurants in the area that deliver to the touring barrier, menus on display in the reception/shop.

Me gustó Plenty of space
Good toilet facilities
Active cleaners
Good for dog owners

No me gustó No pub on site
Not a lot to do around site
People ignore noise curfew

Del administrador: We went around the site every night you were here including last night Friday 21st August and there was no music or loud noise at all at 10pm when the quiet policy starts, if there is any disturbance after this you should have called us on the mobile number you were given and which was pointed out on your check-in card.
There is a Brewers Fayre pub on site located within a 2 minute walk from the exit barrier.
When you look to book on Pitch-up we do not advertise as having any entertainment or play park. We have country and river walks with the emphasis on being outdoors enjoying each other’s company and relaxing on an evening.

Me gustó Plenty of space on the field and shower/toilets were clean

No me gustó Nothing there for the kids no farm or restaurant on site like there used to be. Even had someone go in our tent while we was out

Del administrador: The family farm, park, museums and Oast houses were permanently closed in March 2023 which is why there is no mention of it when looking to book on Pitch-up or on the Hop Farm website. It was a separate entity which you had to pay entry to and purchase tokens for rides.
The pizza van had to cancel due to an injury and it was too late to find a replacement, however there are takeaways and restaurants in the area that deliver to the touring barrier, menus on display in the reception/shop.
The new Chinese restaurant next to the exit barrier opened on the 21st August and guests staying here who went for lunch or dinner highly recommend it. The Brewers fayre was also open which is a 2 minute walk from the exit barrier and they have a small play park for younger children.
I hope nothing was stolen from your tent when you were out as you did not report this to us, perhaps you reported it to the police.

Me gustó Love the place.. miss the bbq's

Del administrador: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and that you enjoyed yourselves even though no charcoal barbecues or fires allowed, hopefully they will be back soon however it would mean a few days of constant rain which would not be good whilst camping.
We look forward to welcoming you again.

Me gustó This is the 4th year camping here and we love it . Always clean and very friendly staff.

No me gustó Cars speeding across the field to the toilet block .
