Brook Farm Reviews

Great camping on perfect location

It is nice and quiet camping. Very friendly management who are making delicious pizza's! The pitches are spacious. Close to the coast and a beautiful forest around.

Lovely find

What a lovely find! Not overcrowded, very laid back, friendly owner - just what the doctor ordered! Close to Whitstable and other coastal places. Would definitely recommend.

Fab little site!

Fab little site with sheep and chickens. Tents were well spread out with toilets and showers. Great little pizza hut on a Friday and Saturday, just a shame the cafe wasn't open in the mornings for a coffee and breakfast? Wasn't open until 12pm. Very friendly owners and James and his partner cook the pizzas. Great fire pits to rent too. Showers were ok, maybe just the bins to be cleaned every day from the toilets. Will return

Beautiful quiet escape

We arrived on bikes and James was super welcoming as soon as we came through the gates. Our pitch was large and the showers were so warm, clean and powerful! You could buy pizza made in a wood fired pizza oven which was an awesome surprise. The vibe of the campsite was super chill with kids and dogs around, but everyone had enough space for it to feel peaceful. We'll be coming back!

Great

Second time we have stayed at Brook Farm, just as good this time around.

Great little laid back site

Really loved this site, really laid back and no massive rules list & lovely location.

Great, chilled site

Amazing site! Loads of space, clean facilities, great pizza and my kids loved the animals! They now want a pet sheep!

Lovely campsite

Lovely campsite, nice and relaxed. Arby's café on site does homemade pizzas on a Saturday night. I would visit this campsite again.

Basic facilities

Basic campsite; good location. Would have been nice to meet the owner and the facilities were clean, but were all ok and served a purpose. The main plus was that it was lovely and quiet.

Site's response

Hi Tracey, I'd be interested to know how our facilities could be improved, I take pride in the fact that our electric showers are free to use for as long as you'd like, as well as our toilets that are kept clean and also provided with toilet roll too! But everyone is entitled to their own opinions! Apologies you didn't end up meeting me, but after giving you instructions for when you arrived, I was cooking pizzas in the evening as well as in the cafe this morning when you left, so I was around, but I'm glad our site was quiet as always.

Peaceful site

Lovely peaceful site next to woods with tracks for cycling and walking. Good toilets and showers but shame the hand wash basins appeared to not have been cleaned for some time and the rubbish bin was overflowing.

Site's response

I remember we regularly spoke and you loved the site. As well as cleaning the toilets and showers regularly and respective sinks, I also provided additional hand soap when you told me we had run out. As well as this I ensured the bins were not overflowing and actually organised the bins to be picked up sooner than scheduled to ensure they were not overflowing! I had no reason to believe you were unhappy so I'm sorry to see this review came in.

Chilled vibes

1st time camping as a family. Enjoyed by everyone. Pizzas served in the evening were yummy. Nice quiet site!

Camping

A very friendly and welcoming place to explore, we had a lovely time there.

Lovely farm feel

There are farm animals around, and pizzas available on Fridays and Saturdays. Good facilities, while still maintaining a feel of wilderness.

Lovely site

Lovely location, nice to have a few animals around. Facilities were decent and clean plus amusing birds (swifts) zooming in and out of the toilets were very cute. Only criticism is the water pressure wasn't great so if someone was showering, the sink in the toilets didn't work. No real presence from staff but wasn't needed, we had a mobile number to call for any problems. Small café wasn't overpriced, but not much food offered and drinks weren't cold. Friends had pizza delivered which was great. Nicely marked out pitches, with plenty of space between groups. Kids had space to play badminton, football, and have water fights.

Camping

Lovely site. Would go again. Just not great showers.

Super pretty & chilled

We love Brook Farm campsite, it's close to where we live so it's really convenient for a couple of nights escape back to nature. The site is pretty, clean & well organised, but with a great chilled atmosphere (there's no endless lists of rules or slightly naggy emails like some campsites. Patrons can help themselves to firepits & logs- you're trusted with an honesty tin for payment etc. There are great extras (pizza oven, morning cafe) and the loos & showers are in a pleasant, well-ventilated block. We meet friends there so socialise on site, but if are visiting the areas it's close to the sea at Whitstable, Canterbury for historic tours etc. And lots of great walks & cycle paths... We've loved every visit to Brook Farm & will definitely be back again 😍😀 - Jenni (Red Class Camp 🙂)

Showers

Was a lovely campsite and lovely walk. But the showers didn't work that well, either freezing or boiling hot.

Site's response

Thank you for your review, following reports of the showers running hot and cold, I had an emergency plumber come out and resolve this issue with 3 new shower units, so this issue has been sorted and the facilities are now back to their good standards.

Family night away

What a lovely off-the-beaten-track site, very quiet and family-friendly. Great tasty pizzas on site too.

One night stay at Brook Farm

We arrived Saturday afternoon and as it was our first camping experience were pleasantly surprised. James had messaged us beforehand and it was nice to know we could reach out to him with any troubles. Nice well maintained camping area with easily identifiable pitches. Toilets and shower block were clean and well maintained and we were also offered fresh stone baked pizzas! Kids loved the animals on site, chickens, sheep, guinea pigs and cows and we took advantage of being so close to the woods and hiked one of the well maintained paths in blean woods. The site was peaceful and apart from the sounds of nature we had no problems with getting off to sleep. Well priced and felt very relaxed vibe, we will be back for a longer stay next time.

Lovely short stay

Very pleasant, peaceful stay. Was a lovely site, fairly level, proper toilets and showers, pizzas in the evening and coffee in the morning from the owners little hut cafe. Sweet animals living in two pens in the centre of the site. 12 minutes from Whitstable. No signal which is probably a good thing for a digital detox!

Brooks Farm

Had a fabulous time staying at Brooks Farm and made some wonderful memories. Thanks for having us! We will definitely be back.

A little gem!

Excellent little site with everything you could need. Miles and miles of woodland walking on your doorstep and some lovely little pubs for refreshments. Ideally located between Canterbury and Whitstable. Will definitely be back!

Peaceful meadow camp spot

Only here for one night but a lovely experience, surrounded by trees and birds and hay bales. Very quiet and nice walks in the woods next door. Did not know there would be pizzas or morning coffee available to buy, next time would like to try these.

Small friendly site

This was my second stay at Brook Farm, having stayed last year with my grandchildren. We received a friendly welcome from James and were soon set up on an electric grass pitch. The site was very quiet mid week, so it was a restful relaxing visit. We used one of the sites fire pits for an evening around the camp fire. The facilities, toilets, showers and washing up area are adequate. We are planning to visit again later in the year.

Fantastic and totally provides what it says... refreshing and relaxing

This is such a brilliant find... searching for campsites in Kent and came across Brook Farm. We only stayed one night but came away feeling like had had a very chilled break. The site is beautiful and very well looked after... the views are stunning and the facilities are everything you could wish for on a camping trip but better. The hosts were so friendly and ready to help with any request. Having the cafe is such an added bonus.. homemade pizza delivered to your tent in the evening as you sit by your little fire is heavenly. We'll definitely be back for 2 nights next time. Thank you.
