Hever Camping

A aimé Friendly welcome, clean and reasonably level pitch. Pretty much every family had a wood fire at night and it was lovely. Good washing up facilities, nice little play area for the kids within sight of the tents so they can have some independence.
We went to Hever castle one day, then Godstone Farm (fantastic play areas) the next. Locally, there is a Waitrose for shopping.
It is worth noting that the toilet block has one step into it but is then level. The shower block (much nicer inside than it looks from outside) is not accessible at all if you have any mobility issues. That's not a negative against this campsite, but it's useful to know for those who have to consider these things.

A aimé Facilities were more than adequate. Nice location, friendly owners/managers. I only used once, but good showers.

N'a pas aimé Moody family turned up on day two of our trip (not the sites fault) but the dad was constantly swearing and playing music from a boom box too loud. After 4 hours of reggae blaring across our end of the campsite I had to tell them to turn it down as I had young children I was desperately trying to get to sleep. After 22:00 is too late for any music that disturbs others. Disappointed this was not better policed by the onsite staff.

The only real negative I could attribute was that it was not mentioned that the site was under a flight path, or holding pattern area. On night one there must have been 20 aircraft passing overhead at night, obviously Gatwick related, hence quite low. Would have been nice to have been made aware of this from the booking/website.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi there,
Thanks for your review.
We are glad you enjoyed the site and facilities. We are so sorry you had that experience with other campers. We do late checks in the evenings of the fields, to make sure music is low after 10pm and off by 11pm. If there is a problem, we request that we be contacted on the campsite phone, so we can address the issue, which we would do promptly. I'm afraid that if we haven't witnessed it or been made aware then we won't be able to resolve the issue.
The aircraft can vary depending on the weather, so it's difficult to accuratly describe what a camper may experience.
We hope to welcome you again.
Kind regards,
The Hever Camping Team

A aimé Nice spacious site with level pitches in Pond Field. Close to a nice local pub.

N'a pas aimé The toilet facilities were not really adequate for the number of campers. Very small low cubicles which got a bit grotty with so much use. (It is school holidays so busy). It was cleaned in the morning. One toilet block (ladies) completely out of use. Pond field is quite a long way from the showers and the cafe at Farm Field.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi there,
Thanks for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the field and local pubs.
The toilets are cleaned 4 times a day. The other toilet block you noted is a new block, which we are currently arranging installation, so that will be available very soon and also it has a shower. Upon booking, you had the option of booking the field with the showers and close to the food wagon. Many campers who stay with us enjoy the more remoteness of the Pond Field, which is only a 10 minute walk from the food and showers. You are very welcome to also use the showers in the Farm Field, by either a walk or a 2 minute drive along the road.
We hope you are abe to return when our new facilities are up and running.
Kind regards,
The Hever Camping Team

A aimé Every thing, especially the friendliness of all the staff/workers who would go out of their way to help you.

A aimé Large open space, relaxed atmosphere. We stayed in Pond Field which feels very remote/wild, just a toilet block and cold water, which is exactly what we were looking for. Field was well kept and tidy. Very good access to local walks and pubs.

A aimé The ladies, Sarah and Julie (sorry if wrong) who greeted us were friendly and welcoming. Informative about our stay and amenities. Chatted with them both a couple of times during our stay and they came to our rescue with the loan of a chair!

Showers were amazing , super hot and never a queue.

Toilets plentiful and kept clean throughout our stay, im sure julie cleans them every hour or so..

We will definitely be back.. loved the old farm vehicles throughout their site too

A aimé Clean amenities
Easy access from London
Quiet
Loads of open space to pitch away from others
Cafe available nearby for food & drinks

N'a pas aimé Check-in required at farm-site. More clear signs required if you are heading to pond site, to show you need to check in here first.
Entrance to the pond-site is easy to miss.
Woodland trail is a bit overlooked, needs some trimming and a bit of repair so children can enjoy it.
