Puddledock Woods Camping

Very nice tranquil campsite. Large pitches. Very helpful and friendly owners.

Very rustic and chilled. Owners were really friendly! Kids loved roaming and would love to go back with the dog!

Great sized pitches. Lots of privacy on the few tent pitches - they are at the back of the bigger site. There are decent shower and toilet block facilities at the front of the site, as well as 2 microwaves and 2 fridges. Washing up facilities. Cars are not allowed at the tent pitches, which is great, no late night headlights, motor noises or slamming car doors. The staff are happy to ferry your kit to your pitch though. The manager(?) Matt is really friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the area and its history. Firepits and plenty of kindling and Matt will deliver a pile of good logs. It's woodland, so take a good camping mat. Plenty of room to hang a hammock for daytime shaded chilling too. Reasonably priced. I'll be returning for sure. Make sure you go the right site though, not the lawn to the left. A thoroughly good experience except....

except for the mosquitos, but that was entirely my fault. I forgot my both my bug spray and lantern with citrenella oil and I left the tent mesh open a smidge so that was silly.

Absolutely loved the serene atmosphere of the place. We will definitly be back.

Lovely woodland site with great walks near by. Very free and easy feel to the site, we got to choose our own pitch and campfires are positively encouraged! Lovely waking up early and watching the birds, squirrels, ducks and swans wander about. On the whole it was very quiet and peaceful and other campers very respectful.
Facilities were good, clean and the outdoor showers in particular are a real treat!
Owner Matt and his family were very friendly and helpful and they have done an amazing job on the glamping side of things - Matt showed us inside the horsebox and it was beautiful! Plenty to see and do in the area, with good bus services to Margate and Canterbury and a beautiful nature reserve within walking distance.

The bell tent, friendly & helpful staff onsite , the log fire & bought logs on site, outside shower

The factilities could have been cleaner, but it was promoted as wild camping so we don't mind. It was good there was a toilet & shower on site.

Beautiful woodland location, great facilities, wildlife, secluded pitch and helpful staff

Host was really helpful, like that he drove your gear to the site from the car park. Pitch sizes were reasonable with plenty of space.
Location was great, and the surrounding area was very pretty with plenty of walks available if your that way inclined and if you have pets for sure.
Firewood available at a cost
Outdoor washing up facilities are available

Could do with a little facelift, looks very tired in places (kitchen, showers) and sometimes a little dirty
The showers are ok, the pressure is low so not much water coming out
The kitchen freezers are plentiful but need a clean
The camping areas could be laid out better and cleared of fires from previous occupants.
The road into the site needs relaying, lots of pot holes.

We’ve just spent a couple of days in this lovely little sheltered site just for tents set with easy reach of Canterbury and the North Kent/Thanet coastline. Matt the owner is incredibly helpful and friendly. You leave the car in the car park and he will take your stuff to the pitches in his 4x4. It’s got clean loos, proper hot free showers, fire pits and there are some quirky buildings around the place as well. (See my pic). There’s also glamping in Shepherds huts, bell tents and even a large converted horse box for those who are inclined. Nice one!

Lovely site, semi rural, lovely amenities. Love the new showers. Very friendly owners. Loved that we can have camp fires (kept the men busy). We stayed in one of their bell tents (we usually bring our own) plenty of space and fun. This was our third time here and won't be our last.
