A aimé : Very helpful and relaxed welcome from the owner, who happily moved us from Pond Field to be closer to the main facilities. The food truck and eating area on site is really good, and the showers are hot and clean. The camping fields are in lovely countryside with freedom to pitch where you choose. Some nice signage around the campsite too.

N'a pas aimé: Parts of the site are not so good: the arrival area feels like a scrapyard, and whilst the toilets themselves are clean, the toilet portacabin is scruffy. Be aware too that Pond Field is accessed by a long unmade track more suitable for 4x4s, and is not well linked to the rest of the site where the facilities are.

A aimé : The site was nice and quiet. Great location for what we needed. Staff friendly and helpful.

N'a pas aimé: There could have put a hand dryer in the toilets. The main car park looked a bit like a scrap yard!

A aimé : Staff were friendly and facilities were friendly functional. Site was value for money.

N'a pas aimé: My message that I was going to arrive late did not get through to the right person consequently I was not greeted upon arrival. However I did see others arriving after hours being met by staff.

A aimé : A big open field where you can choose your site to pitch. Several showers, located in the field. A large facilities unit that is clean and well maintained, located in the yard next to the field. Wheeler's Wagon Cafe, which has food and drink available 7.30-5.30 - great value, decent coffee. The frappes and milkshakes are particularly good! The cafe is open to the public and locals use it - a good sign! Owners are friendly and helpful and there is a phone number posted for out of hours emergencies. The gate is locked at night and there is an access code you are given on arrival. Arrival time is earlier than many sites so lots of time to get set up and still have time to go out. Departure time is 11am, but can be flexible by arrangement. I felt safe as a solo female - I had booked Pond Field but it was empty, so they let me move my booking to Farm Field.
Fire pits and picnic tables are available to use around the field, logs and kindling can be bought at the cafe for a reasonable price.
The whole site is dog friendly, and there is a kids' play area in the field. Tent campers can park next to their tent.
I really enjoyed my mid-week break as there were very few other campers (between Easter holidays and May Bank Holiday) so it was peaceful and nearest neighbours were a couple of hundred yards away!!

N'a pas aimé: Some days there are planes overhead every few minutes, but not every day. Depends on Gatwick's approach vector that day. Some are quite low. Not an issue if you are able to filter noises out, but may be intrusive if you want peace and quiet. It didn't bother me, and it was only 1 day out of 3, but previous reviews have mentioned it.

A aimé : The field has a lovely old-style atmosphere that we loved. The showers were really hot and didn't switch of until you wanted them to. The owner, Sarah, was helpful and friendly, running a wonderful cafe on-site that provided excellent food. Situated in a fabulous location we found the local pub to be a gem too.

A aimé : The site was large with multiple fields. pond fields located a good walk through the woods. amazing area of Beauty all around

N'a pas aimé: can only speak for one location but the toilets felt the most crammed and tight space. They were not bad but somehow compared to other places it felt more tight. You could perhaps hear every action in the next cubicle. Bring some earplugs if your shy

A aimé : A peaceful and well-maintained site, perfect for a relaxing countryside getaway. The atmosphere is quiet and laid-back. All the essential facilities are available and kept clean, including showers, toilets, and washing-up areas, which make camping here comfortable and convenient.
One of the standout features is the charming little playground that keeps the children happily entertained while parents enjoy the surrounding tranquility.
The location is absolutely fantastic—nestled in the beautiful Kent countryside, it's an excellent base for exploring historic sites. Hever Castle is just a short drive away, along with other nearby castles and stately homes. There are also plenty of forest paths and country walks in the area, offering opportunities for nature lovers and walkers to explore scenic trails.
Overall, Hever Camping is a hidden gem for those who appreciate nature, history, and a quiet place to stay. We've been there a few times and it's our go-to place for a spontaneous weekend camping for a night or two.
