A aimé Easy to find. Close to a river. Easy to hire kayaks. Modern toilets. Close to a shop to buy any food. Nice cafe. Nice pond

N'a pas aimé You can hear car noises from a motorway. The pitch I booked based on pictures provided was a complete disappointment. The pitch I thought I booked was taken by other people and mine was just a tent size spot by forest road with other tents right next to it and without any additional place for doing any camping things. But we were offers to move to the field - which we did.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We are pleased you liked the location and facilities available to you.

We are a little confused about your comments regarding your woodland pitch. We have 6 woodland tent pitches that are all numbered. We do not allocate these in advance, but they are issued on a first come first served basis. We are therefore unsure how you felt that the pitch you booked was taken by other campers? If someone has a specific request like being close to the water we will try our best to accommodate, but we can not guarantee. From looking at your booking it seemed your only request was a pitch on your own which all of our woodland pitches are and marked out as such.

We will always try and accommodate as best we can and we are pleased you were happy with a move to a field pitch instead.
We hope to see you again soon.

A aimé That you camp in a woodland rather than just a square field Made the stay more enjoyable Good cafe on site & easy access to river & walks
All very pleasant

N'a pas aimé Payable for a shower which where ok
No dog waste bins Or any bins which we were aware of Not sure how you would cope with a weeks worth of rubbish

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your lovely review. We are pleased you enjoyed your woodland pitch. We will also pass on your kind words to the cafe.
Our booking information does state that we do not currently have facilities for campers to leave their rubbish, but we have made arrangements for next year. We do have two bins available for dog waste. Apologies if this was not made clear to you.
We look forward to seeing you again soon if your travels bring you this way.

A aimé Superb site. We had a view straight onto the lake with our own decking. Toilets and showers on site were very clean with an old horse box having been creatively constructed into a toilet and shower block. Very pretty. Staff were lovely and the cafe served great food. Launched straight onto the river for a day paddle boarding with equipment for hire for those who don’t have their own. A little gem.

N'a pas aimé Nothing to dislike, the site makes it clear there are no toilet waste facilities, electric hook up or hot water (save for the showers) so you just need to come prepared.

A aimé Outdoor activities, clean toilets, friendly staff

N'a pas aimé Maybe clear the pond,but that doesn't change much would just make the pond you nicer

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed the activities and found the site clean and tidy. All of our team work hard to make your stay as lovely as possible so we are glad you found them friendly.
The lake has been a labour of love this year with the extreme hot weather over such a long period of time it has been impossible to clear the duck weed quicker than it is growing. However, we have maintained it in such a way that the fish and wildlife have thrived through the extreme temperatures.
Thank you again for the review and we hope to welcome you back again soon.

A aimé Picturesque woodland setting next to the river, friendly and accommodating family-run site, kayak and paddleboards available to rent to explore along a beautiful stretch of the River Medway, secure at night

A aimé We had a lovely spot by the lake with our own decking. Even after being there only a couple of hours, felt like we’d been there ages. Very peaceful and relaxing. Ideal location right on the Medway Valley river walk. We walked our dog one way in the morning, and the other way in the afternoon. The on site cafe is very good. Good menu with reasonable prices. The evening was idyllic…sitting on our reclining chairs by the lake with our lights on with a bottle of wine.
Think we will be returning often, as we were looking for a site in reasonable distance for frequent weekends away.

A aimé Great location next to the river. We camped in the wooded area which was quiet with plenty of space between other campers.

N'a pas aimé My poached eggs were not runny :)

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your review, we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay in the woods and felt it was a great location. We don't personally serve eggs for campers but will pass this onto the café 😉

A aimé The atmosphere, scenery, river, all of it!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from the minute we got there. Friendly helpful staff, loads to do. Our son was so happy on the field playing the games and on the rope swing. Not sure why people are commenting on the showers, its a quick wash at camping not and all inclusive resort 😂 we had plenty on time in there for all of £2. Hired some kayaks which was so easy and fun and and bonus to be able to do this all in the same place. Pitch was spacious, facilities were so clean, cutely decorated and you can tell they put thought into it. Relaxed and well thought out

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you found the team friendly and helpful. As a small family run campsite we are keen to make the site as family friendly as possible with lots of fun for the little ones.
Thank you for your comments about thew showers.
We are glad you enjoyed the kayaks. We are so pleased to have the hire options available for everyone. this year.
We hope to see you again soon.

A aimé Lovely little campsite, with some lovely walks along the river. We camped in the woods which the kids absolutly loved.

N'a pas aimé Our only dislike which was'nt actually the campsite's fault is it can be a bit noisy at night if your next to the river like we was. As there were speed boats speeding up and down. But apart from that the campsite itself is lovely.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your review, We are glad you and the children had such a good time. We love our camping spots in the woods, particularly in the recent hot weather.
It's a shame you were disturbed by people not being respectful along the river of an evening. Unfortunately they were a group camping at a nearby campsite that have since moved on.
We appreciate you mentioning this was out of our control and we hope to welcome you back again soon.
