The Hop Farm

Gostou The whole place is very nice and tidy, however over the years the shower standards have gone down but besides this it’s a very nice place to stay at.

Gostou Loved the proximity to the river and ability to bring your own fishing equipment / inflatables, kayaks etc. We also really enjoyed how large the campsite was meaning we didn’t see many people down in the field we were in

Não gostou Nothing major - when we did use the toilet block on our departure date it wasn’t very clean but this was a Sunday morning around 12 which I assume is when it gets a full clean for the next guests - showers were hot and powerful

Gostou There was so much space and you could pitch anywhere. Toilets and shower blocks were clean. Take away delivered to the barrier although we didn't use it. Lovely walk along the river.
Just over an hour from Dover so handy for train and ferry.

Não gostou Nothing.

Do gestor: I am sorry your one night stay was ruined by an altercation, which has left you with no desire to return.
We were informed just before 10pm that the police had been called out. On our way to the incident I called the police to give directions and how to enter the campsite,(fortunately they arrived within 15 minutes), I also called for an ambulance which arrived within 10 minutes. With the emergency services on site we continued with our rounds making sure there was no music playing and that campers were being respectful to other guests.
The police left at about 1135pm followed by the ambulance 5 minutes later, we then did a final check and at midnight could not hear any music playing or loud noise just campers enjoying being outside, however some laughter can be quite loud.
I approached a few drivers not adhering to the 5MPH speed limit and we now have more signs to be put out, with the hand outs given when checking-in hopefully this will be suffice for everyone's enjoyment of the campsite.

Gostou Massive camping fields
Clean,tidy
Kids loved it

Gostou Large fields, beautiful nature, lots of space to camp with car next to tent, lots of toilets and showers available, shop has lots of toys for kids to play with, rentable fire pit with grid to bbq on, close to shops and areas to explore. The car boot sale next to camp site was fun to explore both days and there is a discounted entry rate for campsite guests.

Não gostou Toilets and shower facilities don’t get cleaned enough and guests don’t respect it, so it gets dirty later in the day and people just don’t flush properly. Guests not respecting the 5mph limit and driving fast on the dirt roads or across the fields to leave site or get to the shower and toilet facilities. There were noisy guests violently attacking each other while their kids were watching it unfold and other guests having to call police to sort out the situation, however the behaviour of guests is not at the fault of the camp site. Lack of exit camp site signage so I ended up guiding people while walking to and from reception where to drive to exit site as not very obvious. Reception staff could be more welcoming to their guests, a smile is all it takes to make people feel welcome.

It is a shame you will not visit again I presume this is due to the small amount of campers who refuse to adhere to the rules of the campsite.
The toilets and showers do not get cleaned after about 730pm until the next morning therefore they can become dirty if not all guests tidy up after themselves.
As we came out to do our 10pm checks we were made aware of the incident and I immediately called the police back to give directions and the code required to enter the campsite. When the police arrived we continued with our checks to make sure there was no music or loud noise from campers.
When everyone checks in they are given a map and we point out the exit, water points and facilities, it would appear these were forgotten as you kindly directed them to the exit. We now have more 5MPH and exit signs which will hopefully be up before the weekend.

Gostou This was our 5th visit to the Hop Farm. We love the laid back feel to this campsite and the setting is just beautiful. There is easy access to the river and my 2 teenage boys love using the rope swings. We plan to visit again in the summer holidays.
