Small Tent - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

I stayed here for 4 nights in the second week in September. The site was tidy and very nice. I had electric hook up and was allocated a pitch. You can pitch anywhere if you're not in need of electric and the site has some lovely wooded areas that looked great. Very good location for visiting Bewl Water, Bayham Abbey and Scotney Castle. The A21 runs next to the site and is a very busy road and can be noisy, but this did not bother me. The toilets and showers were very clean and the staff at reception were very helpful and nice. All in all, I enjoyed my stay here and would definitely stay again.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

Overall, the campsite was clean and tidy, with reasonable facilities. The main area for the non-electric pitches is quite near a main A road, so there can be quite a bit of road noise, even during the early hours of the morning. The shower cubicles are also quite small, so it can be difficult to properly clean yourself. Apart from these small inconveniences, the campsite is good, with a large area to pitch tents in. Being able to have an open fire/BBQ is a big bonus and really helps to round off the camping experience. Check-in was quick and easy, we were in and out within a few minutes. There is also a few items for sale in the reception area, incase you are missing a few of the essentials.

Site's response

Thanks for a great review! We will keep in mind what you said about the showers for the next time we refurbish the shower/toilet block.
