St Andrews Lakes

A aimé I thoroughly enjoyed my full moon paddle, sleepover’ and following day paddle board jaunt! I have stayed at the campsite often and I go paddle boarding there even more often!!
The staff are always friendly, polite and very helpful! A visit here never fails to take me away from any outside stress! The shower was good - although only one for around ten pitches - thankfully, I’ve never had to wait. The toilets were clean. Each pitch has a solid camping table, cold water tap and fire pit! Fab!!!

Take note; unless planning to spend time on an onsite activity, there is nothing locally to do or visit unless prepared to drive - also no dogs allowed to camp 😢

N'a pas aimé Please stop raising the prices on activities and camping so radically - an example of this was this weekend when camping went from £25 per night to jump to £35?
Sadly, this increase will force me to reduce my visits….

A aimé We have been to this site many times and found:-
Very friendly staff
Good clean facilities, plenty of hot water.
Individual water supply to the pitches.
Good bus route to Rochester
Quiet site
Great pizza.

N'a pas aimé No wifi, it would be good to have this available.
Only 1 shower and 3 toilets for the site (8 pitches). This is not sufficient when the site is full

A aimé Services

N'a pas aimé This site was such a disappointment. There were 6 pages of rules for the site, the site was a converted car park and we were jammed in like sardines. The beach was fenced and you could not see it or access it without booking a ‘session’. It is run like a private beach with security and it appears there are a lot of staff and I’m sure it gets busy . Road traffic noise all night. One shower for the campers and 2 toilets- totally inadequate. The actual regenerated quarry was lovely but we could not see it or explore freely. Would not recommend for touring only day stay.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your feedback, Cathy. To clarify, our pitch fee covers the accommodation only, with activities available separately should guests wish to book them - many do, and many simply enjoy the site itself. All guests receive a welcome pack, which outlines our campsite rules and includes details on how to book a discounted staycation pass (£20 for unlimited use of your own equipment during your stay).

We’re proud to be rated 8.8 on PitchUp and 4.4 stars across more than 1,200 reviews, and we limit ourselves to just 8 pitches to ensure a comfortable environment. With over 15 toilets on site and dedicated staff in place for guest safety around the water, we aim to balance relaxation with security.

We’re sorry to hear that our site wasn’t the right fit for you, and we wish you the best in finding a PitchUp venue more in line with your preferences.

A aimé Superb! Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Accommodating us when we arrived on August Bank Holiday Sunday when we’d inadvertently booked the following week! No panic no fuss just a plan.
Facilities are good, but a bit stretched when site is full, only 8 pitches, of families.
Pizzas are very good.
Lovely walk outside the park area to micro brewery, farm shop and butchers.

N'a pas aimé Limited walking in the park, it would be really nice to be able to walk round the lake.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review.
We’re absolutely delighted to hear you had a superb stay with us – even with the unexpected booking mix-up! It was our pleasure to get you settled in smoothly, and we’ll be sure to pass on your special thanks to Drew and the rest of the team – they’ll be thrilled to know they made such a positive impact during your visit.
It’s great to hear you enjoyed the pizzas and explored the lovely local walk to the microbrewery, farm shop, and butchers – a perfect way to take in the area!
We also really appreciate your constructive feedback. You're absolutely right – during peak times the facilities can get a little stretched, and your suggestions about additional showers, clearer walking access, and pitch descriptions are all incredibly helpful. We're always looking at ways to improve the guest experience, and feedback like yours plays a big part in shaping future plans.

As for walking around the lake and more nature-focused routes – you're not alone in wanting more of that! We're currently exploring options to expand walking access and create more opportunities for guests to connect with nature during their stay. So do keep an eye out for updates – there may be new paths and features coming soon.

Thanks again for your kind words, your patience, and your positivity – and we’re really looking forward to welcoming you back (on the right date!) for another relaxing stay.

A aimé Could not recommend this place enough! Stunning views, polite staff, easy-going and relaxed place. Clean, amenable and unique!
