Palace Farm Campsite

Likte: Great location, big pitch size, clean toilets and showers, allows camp fires and dog friendly pub just down the road.

Likte ikke: Possibly not enough toilets and showers if the site was fully booked but was fine when we stayed as not that busy

Likte: The surroundings, the countryside walks are amazing and not something I was expecting! The site was simple and quiet although there was only a few campers there, toilets were very clean and spacious, well equipped and showers were good although there was no dry area to dress before you left the shower.

Likte ikke: Unfortunately it was spoilt by the owners attitude when we first arrived on site I knocked on the door to the office but there was no reply and the lights were off, after waiting for at least 30 seconds I walked back to my car and when the door opened I was told very rudely by the owner of the site had I’ve gone onto the tent pitches and I would have been trespassing!! He also rudely snapped at me that he had just had his knees done and couldn’t move fast, I understood that but there was no need to make me feel that unwelcome, given the fact I had paid in advance, supplied my name and address and the reg of my car I wouldn’t agree that I was trespassing as both sides had agreed on the terms of the stay. Wasn’t a good start and we almost left but it was a rare night for us, I even joked we would be fine as we had wine with us and the response was ‘ oh is that all it’s about is drinking?’ Was the response from the man, suggesting we were there to get drunk how dare he insinuate this. Aside from the 2 page A4 sheet of rules we were given when we booked in!
Won’t stay here again.

Likte: Proximity to Faversham and Whitstable was useful.
The hosts were helpful and friendly.
Bird song was beautiful in the morning but they struggled against the sound of the motorway.

Likte ikke: The constant noise from the motor way even though we felt quite far from it was a real turn off for this site. We went for peace and quiet but could always hear it through the bird song.
The shower room lights didn't work so when you shut the door it was dark inside. Ended up using the disabled one so we could put the light above the mirror on with the pull cord.
There was a field of thistles next door and another one of grass the other side but nowhere very nice or interesting to walk the dog from the site. Good walks if you drove away.
There was an encouragement to hire their fire pits which we did but they were so low to the ground they ended up scorching the grass any way.

Fra bestyreren: Hi, thanks for your review. It may have been unfortunate that we had a constant northerly wind which does carry the sound of the M2 motorway which is just under a mile north of the campsite, normally we don't hear it. Many of our campers who live in towns and cities appreciate how much quieter it is in the countryside.
I checked the showers and both the disabled room and the left hand shower have working lights, switched by an infra red sensor. The right hand side shower light has been vandalised, on our first weekend open at that and is only switching on when quite dark outside.
I think you should have explored our surrounding countryside a bit more as there are some wonderful walks for those with dogs. We have maps that you could have asked for which will show any walkers why this is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The top of the field next to the campsite does have some soft thistles and stinging nettles but we do hope that walkers and dog walkers are a but more adventurous and take themselves and their dogs a bit further afield.
Fire pits that we provide, out of necessity are easily stackable for us to store them when not in use. Better and larger fire pits that we have tried to tend to grow legs and walk. They may scorch the top of the grass but as soon as it is mown again it hardly shows so we are not too concerned about it.

Likte: We loved the quiet location, and a walkable pub close by that had a good choice of food.
Very friendly greeting and the facilities looked like they were well attended, never looked like they had been left for too long.
I hope to visit again next year.
