A aimé Huge site with plenty of pitches to choose from. Not at all crowded. Toilet block very clean.
Access to the river for dinghies, paddle boards etc
Loads of space for kids to play.
Friendly site.

N'a pas aimé The access road to the field near the river was full of pot holes. Not a massive problem but something to be aware of

A aimé Very big campsite with loads of space to pitch and still get privacy.

N'a pas aimé Generally clean, but when it got busy over the weekend the toilets were not as good as when it was quieter, but overall very good cleanliness.

A aimé That it wasn’t too far from lots of national trust places. Close to the beefeater and although this was ok, it’s very tired outside and lots of the seating areas were unusable but food and drink prices as expected.
Lots of toilets and shower facilities.

N'a pas aimé The lack of things to do for the children. We knew the hop farm park was closed as it states it on the booking however, there is no additional play area for the children and they are unable to go into the water due to blue algae (obviously not the campsites fault). Pitches for electric hook up are close together and not very big. Shop didn’t stock any of the things we needed during our stay.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for choosing to stay with us for 3 nights over the school holidays.
As there is no play park on site, the Brewers Fayre within a few minutes walk where you went has an outdoor play area but probably more suitable for under 10 year olds.
There are adventure parks within a 15 minute drive which are free to enter with additional payable activities to suit older children and an Aqua Chimp just a few minutes drive away. We have a field opposite the electric pitches for kite flying and ball games.
We are not able to stock perishable foods however to get to the co-op it is a nice walk along the river path or a 10-20 minute drive to several supermarkets.
Perhaps you will visit again to enjoy the country and river walks and bring some indoor and outdoor games for you and the family to enjoy together.

A aimé Love the open space have been to hop farm a number of time over the years its a great campsite. The lovely the ladies at reception are amazing and very helpful so much open space to choose from when not on electric we had such a perfect holiday even debated staying longer but other factors stopped us but we will be back next year no doubt about it.

N'a pas aimé Disliked people camping at entrances to the river make it harder for other people to use them.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your loyalty in choosing to stay with us and sharing your photos.
The manager has ordered replacement posts and signs to prevent people blocking the entrance to the river, someone took the posts out apparently to burn, no idea what happened to the signs!
We look forward to seeing you next year.

A aimé Very spacious, plenty of room on the pitch. Easy access to the bus stop and train station. Buses into Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells every hour.

N'a pas aimé Not a problem for me, but where we were parked people tended to walk through our pitch to gain access to the facilities, even though clear pathways are available. This may annoy some people.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for choosing to stay with us and that you found lots to do in the local area.
It is annoying that people walk through pitches instead of walking an extra couple of yards sticking to the designated path.
We look forward to seeing you again.

A aimé Sehr schöner, ruhiger und gemütlicher Campingplatz. Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Dusche, Toiletten, Abwasser…
Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Waren mit unsren zwei Kids dort. Die haben sich auch gleich wohl gefühlt. Zum Zug sind es ca. 15Min. und dann noch ca. 60 Minuten nach London. Entspannt und nicht zu voll. Leeds castle ist auch nicht weit weg. Mit Wohnmobil kann man dort super parken. Sehr schönes Schloss, sowohl innen als auch außen. Außen gibt es auch einen großen Spielplatz für Kinder und der Irrgarten ist auch top. Kent ist ein ruhiger uriger Ort. Sehr schönes Plätzchen.

We do provide toilets and showers within the stipulations set out by the campsite regulations, however I can understand there being frustration if the majority of guests want to use them at the same time and due to the infrastructure there is nowhere else to add any more.
.We look forward to welcoming you again.

A aimé This is a massive campsite! Lots of lovely level ground to park on, nice to have woods around the fields.

N'a pas aimé There were 2 large groups, I guess the downside of being such a massive campsite, it attracts large groups. One was a group of 20, another was a group of 30. We tried to camp away from them, but dependent on wind direction, the noise carries. One of the groups decided it was a good idea to sing (shout is probably a better description) till gone midnight. Not a reflection on campsite management as they do request no large groups I believe.

I am sorry you had to listen to some loud singing, was it also out of key?
When people book their own pitch we are not aware they are a group until we check the fields after they have already set up and it is usually in one of the most popular fields.
Hopefully there will be no large groups next time you stay.
