Great campsite Recommends site
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 Great campsite - we had a really nice stay.
Cracking long weekend at Brook Farm Recommends site
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 A fabulous few quiet nights away at Brook Farm!
James was there to meet us when we arrived and explained about the site. As it was quiet, he said we could pitch where we wanted to. It is a small quiet site with well kept grass pitches, enclosed by woods on two sides with beautiful views across the local farmland. There are public footpaths in the woods behind the campsite - one path even leads to the pub in Blean! On Friday and Saturday evenings there were wood fired pizzas available, and on Saturday and Sunday mornings, crepes, waffles and coffee were available all from a converted shepherds hut on-site run by James. Good supplies of wood and kindling was available at a fair price and James also had fire pits that you could hire if you needed to. There were animal pens in the middle of the site with a variety of animals including sheep, chickens, ducks and Guinea pigs and food can be purchased for children to feed the animals. On Monday when it was quiet, the sheep and goats were let out to roam the field and keep the hedge lines in check!
James is in the early stages of building something special here, nothing was too much trouble for him and his customer service was second to none. Our only piece of constructive criticism would be the toilet block. There are 3 toilets and 3 showers onsite and when the site was busy on a Saturday there could on occasion be a wait for the showers and toilets and during this period the hygiene standards slipped a little. However a lot of this was due to a lack of consideration by the people using them! The provision of a couple of extra toilets and showers would be a welcome addition and do a lot to ease this pressure.
Overall, a fab campsite which was close enough but far enough from Whitstable. The local taxi service will also collect and drop off there (make sure you book in advance if Friday or Saturday night!)
We will definitely be back to see how James's project is progressing (at the time of writing he was in the process of constructing a site office) and would recommend this site for couples or families.
Many thanks James!
Great week away Recommends site
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 Had a super week, lots of space!
Lovely woodland walks from site - great if you have a dog, very dog friendly. Very close to Whitstable, Canterbury and Folkestone for exploring.
James was a great host. Pizza Friday was a treat.

Our stay Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Campervan Pitches Jun 2023 We really enjoyed our stay- good location, lovely village nearby!
Toilets and shower blocks are clean, with great hot water! Washing up station could do with some overhead roofing! As if it had been raining, it would not be ideal!
But for our first time in our VW camper it was great, would go back !
Short stay Recommends site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 Signage of where reception etc is would be beneficial for new arrivals. Pizzas are a super fun idea.
Lovely campsite! Recommends site
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 Lovely little campsite. Stayed for 2 nights and really enjoyed our time there. Nice and relaxing. Pizza cooked on site was delicious. Toilets were kept clean and well stocked with toilet paper and soap.
Only downside was no paper towels to dry hands and only one sink in the bathroom which was in high demand at teeth brushing time! Other than that it was a lovely place to stay!
Lovely, tranquil site Recommends site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2023 Lovely site nestled right against the woods. Decent sized and clearly marked pitches, clean toilets and showers.
Friendly welcome from the owner, James, and the resident animals were a big hit with the kids. Cafe and pizza were available on busier days- reasonably priced and good quality. Convenient drive (15 mins) from Canterbury.
Youngest member of the family has already asked to go back!!
