About Fallow Fields Camping at Lathe Barn
If you're looking to unwind in the stunning countryside and experience a truly fun camping experience, then this family friendly site is for you. It's only ten minutes from the seaside town of Dymchurch and close by to Port Lympne Reserve. Camp on one of many grass pitches, complete with campfires to cook on by day or keep warm by night. These spacious pitches are allocated, so please make a note if you wish to be set up next to friends. The fully-furnished bell tents have everything you need for your getaway! Sleeping four, these are complete with a memory foam double mattress and two futons, camping equipment and twinkly fairy lights. There are also two unfurnished bell tents available if you'd rather bring your own gear. The kids will never be bored here with lots of activities including their own retreat area with a free kids cinema. Plus, there's a weekly 'welly wanging' competition and onsite games. For the grownups, there's yoga, archery and axe throwing. You can stock up at the camp shop, which is full of essential ingredients for your own fry up and proper coffee. The Marsh Kitchen and bar will serve food and drinks at the weekend (and Wednesday and Thursdays in the school holidays) with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available. Dogs are welcome on-site but are not permitted to stay in the fully-furnished bell tents.

Wonderful stay with my two young children

I honestly couldn't fault our stay at Fallow Fields. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the facilities were spotless. I really valued having no cars on the site, and the rule about no music played out loud. Although the quiet time was from 10.30, the family atmosphere meant that everyone settled down before then, and it was wonderfully peaceful. My children loved the park and the soft play- absolutely genius, as parents can actually have five minutes for a cup of tea! We only live half an hour away, but I really hope to return with the rest of my family for a short break.
Lovely clean campsite with beautiful views and lovely staff

Excellent family-focused campsite, well organised with clean facilities (showers, toilets etc) serving food in morning and evening, with a well-stocked shop. Rules in place to ensure that everyone has a great time and does not disturb others with loud music or during sleep time. Great location, near to Dymchurch with loads to do within a few miles.

Things to do on site and in the Dymchurch area
There are plenty of activities to keep the whole family entertained. Onsite, bushcraft sessions are available for both kids and adults, from archery, to fire lighting and axe throwing or for the more sedate yoga on most Saturday mornings.
Every Sunday morning, welly-wanging is available for everyone to take a turn, and throughout the school holidays, in the barn there are screening films, every Saturday and Wednesday's in the school holidays.
When it isn't a private cinema, the barn has indoor games, including a table tennis table, fooze ball and kids soft play area are perfect for outdoor activity.
And there's a lot more to explore offsite! Steam from the trains at Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway is visible from the campsite. This station is only a short walk away, making it easy to take day trips further afield or to explore the visitor centre.
The Port Lympne Reserve for rare and endangered animals is only a ten minute drive away, too!
Other nearby tourist destinations include:
- Folkestone (20 minutes)
- Dungeness Beach (25 minutes)
