Rides House Farm Certificated Location

Ik was blij met: This CL does all the CL basics well and cannot be faulted.The country road from Eastchurch upto campsite is narrow with tight bends and muddy in places but was doable in our 7.45 m mohome. We would imagine in summer it could get very busy due all the places it leads to. Entrance to site itself is very good. As soon as arrive a lady appeared at gate to welcome us and direct us to pitch, take outstanding payment and explain the Leccie payment on a phone App (Campavolt) which is easy. We’ve used it before but do not like the administration fee charged as extra to the electricity used. As if you top up smaller amounts, it costs you more in admin charge. We put £10 in for 4 nights in cold weather and actually left £1.80 odd. We were given a basic info sheet which was helpful but would have appreciated some details about walks/footpaths from site. It’s a very spacious site with good space between pitches. Good gravel hardstanding, ones to left of gate not quite level but manageable. We wouldn’t say the site has ‘views’, it has delightful aspect of trees, rural fields with horses. Also, we wouldn’t say it was remote. It’s only a mile and a half to Eastchurch and although you cannot see them from pitches you are near huge static caravan sites. It is reasonably quiet but quite a bit of surrounding dogs barking. As previous reviews mention the owners do dog agility and their dogs can seem a bit intimidating as you pass the gate to their static if the dogs are out, although well restrained. There also seemed to be at least 3 longer stay vans on site, two of which were workers but not an issue. We walked from site in every direction but really only along roads, sadly couldn’t find any decent footpaths to beach, it was closed due to cliff erosion at far end of road. Then access to Warden itself via track/path was impassable unless you had wellies on due to flooding. The best place to visit we found by foot (about 3 miles down on the prison estate) was Eastchurch Aviation Museum- £2.00 each to get in - fascinating history but not open every day. Probably best suited to people with access to car and/or drive out in motorhome. Bit restrictive if you pitch up and walk to places.

Ik was niet zo blij met: We didn’t find a great selection of footpaths, certainly not one to sea/beach despite being so close to it.

Van de manager: The local pub being closed isn't anything we have any influence over so it shouldn't affect our rating. As we are a CAMC CL, we have no accomodation, facilities, activities or WiFi so these shouldn't be rated. The site is very clean and tidy and is also child friendly. We are a very welcoming couple and are here for any queries from our campers.
