About Westover Smarden
This quiet site is in the heart of the Kent countryside, giving guests a rural camping experience. The site is set on a nine acre working farm and offers a peaceful adult only experience with basic facilities, ideal for nature lovers with views of farmland and the "Garden of England". Campers can pitch up on spacious grass pitches suitable for tents, trailer tents, campervans, motorhomes and caravans. The pitches do not have electric but have a drinking water tap nearby, as well as a chemical disposal point. The open field leaves ample space for vehicle parking by your pitch too. There is also the option of the onsite touring caravan which sleeps two if you don't fancy bringing the tent or don't have your own tourer. Equipped with bedding, one bedroom, a bathroom and a small kitchenette. Sorry, no pets. Camping and touring is available on a spacious open field, with the neighbouring field for strolls or even a picnic when there aren't animals grazing! This simple site is within easy access of Smarden village, just a 20 minute walk away with a great range of pubs and quaint village shops. The site is well located for exploring the pretty seaside towns of Rye and Hythe, just a 35 minute drive away. Or even visit the beautiful beach at Camber Sands, which is also dog friendly! Please note, it is advised that guests bring a torch with them, although there are solar powered lights to illuminate the facilities and entrance. Raised fires and BBQs are permitted. Well behaved dogs are welcome onsite for the camping and touring pitches, but not in the onsite touring caravan.
Westover Smarden is open from 01/04 to 01/09.
Facilities include portable toilets, a washing up area, drinking water, ice pack freezing and WiFi. Please note, there are no showers onsite.
The closest shop to the site is the Smarden Community Store, great for picking up any essentials, only a five minute drive from site or a 30 minute walk. For meals out, the nearest pub is The Bell Inn, just a five minute walk from the site.
