Fra bestyreren: Hi Lorna,
Thanks for your review.
You mention many toilet seats were missing, however, it is just the one, which serves well as a urinal. The other 5 in the field you stayed in are with a toilet seat and well maintained.
You also mention the showers, which we get many compliments for. I'm sorry they weren't to your liking, however, they are bespoke showers, which are again well maintained, with hot water.
Please can I stress the accuracy when reviewing as this does affect businesses and we pride ourselves on providing a great service. We would prefer to speak with customers when on site, to address any concerns- which can then be looked into.
All the best.

Likte Great check-in experience. Helpful. Good location. Quiet at night.
Did plan to eat and drink, but didn't work out this time.
Some nice trails to walk the dogs on.
Facilities more than adequate for me.

Likte ikke No the hosts fault, but one set of campers loudly f-ing and blinding when other campers' young children were playing nearby

Fra bestyreren: Hi WalkieWags,
Thanks so much for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay.
I'm sorry to hear that someone was being so loud and rude. Please do contact us if this happens while you're here. We are happy to speak with other campers if their behaviour is not acceptable.
Many thanks

Likte The weather was great and that was about it.

Likte ikke We were told that BBQs and fires were not allowed, which was a huge disappointment and honestly ruined the stay from the start. Most of the food we'd brought was intended for the BBQ, so we ended up taking a lot of uncooked food home.

The campsite had allocated a communal area where fires were permitted, but that meant leaving our pitch every time we wanted to cook or sit around a fire, which completely defeated the purpose of camping for us.

If BBQs and fires are not allowed on pitches, please remove these from the campsite's listed features. It doesn't matter if it's because of a heatwave or temporary restrictions—the listing should clearly state that no BBQs or fires are allowed. Had this been made clear before booking, we would have chosen a different campsite.

Unfortunately, the campers on the pitch next to us—a young couple in their twenties—didn't seem to care about the BBQ/fire restrictions. They were also very loud, and one of them was constantly swearing. As I was camping with my 8-year-old daughter, this wasn't a pleasant environment.

The washing-up area was another disappointment. When I went there in the morning, one of the sinks was blocked and half-filled with food waste. It was unhygienic and unpleasant to use, so I simply rinsed our dishes and washed them properly when I got home.

Overall, our experience was very poor, and sadly we won't be returning to this campsite.

Likte The location of Hever camping was very good for the activities we wanted to do in the area. We were able to do a fabulous walk to Hever castle from the campsite.
The site had toilets, dish washing facilities and warm showers available. The shower pressure was great and always warm which was nice after a night in the tent.
Had some interesting machinery in the site, including a jet engine.
Nice and dark at night so had a good view of the stars.

Likte ikke There was a bit more road noise than we expected, I'm sure it would have been a bit quieter if we were camped on the other side of the field (was full when we arrived).

We didn't get any information ahead of time about just being able to pick a spot on arrival or where things were and nobody was there to meet us despite messaging as requested, again not a major issue as we worked it out in the end.
None of these things were of major detriment to the site overall.
