Puddledock Woods Camping

A aimé We stayed at Puddledock from the 14th to the 16th of September and had a really lovely time. The campsite has a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, and it's ideally located if you want to explore the coast Margate is only about 30 minutes away, which made for an easy day trip.

Facilities were great too; showers were hot, and there was plenty of space at the washing-up area, so no queuing or awkward squeezing in with other campers.

The small onsite tuck shop is a great little touch, and the bar was a nice surprisa pool table and a great selection of local draught lager made for a good evening

What really stood out, though, was the level of care from the owners. When we realised we'd forgotten a couple of bits, they were incredibly helpful in sorting us out without any fuss.

Altogether a great little spot, we'd happily come back.

A aimé Great woods to stay in. Completely dark at night and can hear woodpeckers and owls. Rope swings in the woods for kids to play on.
Outdoor showers are lovely. Brilliant local lager on tap and the owners are friendly and helpful.

N'a pas aimé Toilets need regular cleaning which was not happening. One hand sink in a toilet has no water connected so can’t wash hands. A bottle of hand sanitizer would be good there.
Soap and toilet roll regularly running out. Maybe it was someone’s job who wasn’t there to keep an eye on the toilets and everyone assumed someone else was doing it. A regular clean and check on soap and toilet roll would have made a big difference.
The bar is great but needs a tidy up. It’s next to a garage and with the door left open the car fumes could sometimes be smelt in the bar.
There are also lots of broken down cars around in various stages of neglect or being repaired. Some of them are quite quirky and could be a bit of a feature but it feels a bit chaotic.
At the entrance it kind of needs to decide if it’s a campsite or a breakers yard.
It is a lovely site but needs a bit of a spruce up around the bar and toilets.

A aimé Great location. Within the woodland and nice routes out into fields and public footpaths from the back. Wheelbarrows provided for ferrying gear from cars.

N'a pas aimé Facilities way below average compared to all other campsites we've stayed at. Campsite hub is essentially a car scrap yard and feels like a rubbish tip in places. Very little signage too - very easy to go to the campsite next door by mistake.

A aimé Pitch selection, great hosts, always a happy word, helpful and down to earth. Loved the woodland was aged, and beside a farm growing a field of corn 6ft high. Outside showers with hot running water, drinking water on tap for refills and deep butler sink for washing the essentials. To top it off, the little shop and bar if yoy want a change of scene or a break from the children. Bonus of it being just 15 minute drive to the beach with parking on the prominade. Wifi available in the bar area.
