Very friendly host, amazing clean toilets and kitchen facilities, and very thoughtful touches like the nice trolleys to use to move gear from car to tent (since we didn't want to drive on the grass as we don't have a 4x4) and carpet tiles to place at the entrance to our tents. Beautiful quiet orchard and amazing birdsong to wake up to.

Things to do on site and in the Frittenden area
The site offers tai chi classes on request where all abilities are welcome! Diane is also more than happy to offer suggestions and her knowledge of the local area for things to keep you busy.
Surrounded by beautiful countryside with lots of footpaths around the site it's the perfect spot for country walks and wildlife spotting. There is a footpath that goes right through the site and many more close by. The campsite is also surrounded by 11 acres of woodland which is home to foxes, deer and badgers, so keep an eye out!
Drive 30 minutes and visit Bexhill or Hastings and roam around the seaside town or visit the goat sanctuary in Maidstone! The site is a great base for the airshow at Headcorn aerodrome where many guests stay and cycle to the show!
The site is also a handy distance to Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens (10 minutes) as well as Leeds Castle (25 minutes), both with stunning gardens and grand homes to walk around. Be sure to visit the gift shops and pick up a treat at their cafes.
