A note from the site themselves...

Where else do you have acres and acres of private fields and woodland to enjoy? Our greatest joy is seeing the delight on camper's faces when they realise how much private land (400 acres) they have to enjoy here. The feeling of space, peace and seeing the many bird species that the woods are home to.

Bring your binoculars and camera if you like nature spotting, there are many wild species that are resident. Many families travel from urban areas, so it is like stepping into another world for them, and it gives us great pleasure give them this freedom from their usual environment. The Hop Farm is your own garden of England to enjoy during your stay.

Motorhome - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

Excellent place to stay for the first outing in my new camper! The place is massive with so many pitches to choose from. It's easy to find a nice quiet spot. Toilets were clean and showers nice. Long way away if you are in the far away fields but I'm sure people may have their own facilities! Was very quiet when we were there but I expect it may get a bit busy in the summer! Lovely place though and would thoroughly recommend it 😃

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJun 2025

From the moment we arrived, something felt off. The main reason I booked this site was because of the videos on Campsites.co.uk, which showed fantastic children's facilities. However, the playground has apparently been closed since 2023 and will not be reopened. There are no other children's facilities on-site, which feels misleading. Surely the campsite or listing site could update or remove outdated content? Unfortunately, the facilities were poor. They appeared to be cleaned only in the early morning, and by late morning they were already quite dirty. This was disappointing and didn't meet basic expectations. The location itself isn't bad - easy access to nearby areas, which was a plus. For two nights, we experienced loud noise until around 1am due to a large group camped next to us.The site promotes itself as an "award-winning Kent campsite," but beyond an open field, we didn't see anything that would justify such a title. Overall, this was a disappointing experience that didn't match the expectations set by the online listing.

Site's response

Thank you for choosing to stay here and for leaving a review as even negative ones help us to improve your stay. The family farm, park, museums and Oast houses are a separate entity from the campsite and have been closed since the beginning of 2023 as advertised on their website. The manager has now updated this booking platform to reflect the closure and I apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment this has caused. The facilities have 3 daily cleans on a weekend and 2 during the week when quiet. Checks of the campsite are taken at 10pm and any music being played or disturbance is dealt with. After these checks we rely on guests to let us know by calling the 24 hour mobile printed on the front of check-in cards. The campsite is for families to enjoy outside time together with walks through the fields and along the river. For those who have forgotten to bring board games we do have a few for guests to borrow whilst here. There are also places to visit and many have free entry, information available in reception/touring office.
