In general we were very happy.
Electric gravel and hardstanding pitch
Liked We've stayed at Oak View 3 times now, mainly because we like the locality, the walks, and pubs within reasonable walking distance. This stay was because we were going to the Kent show at the Detling show ground. So right on the sites doorstep We knew it was going to be busy so we booked early. Over the course of the rest of our first day the site filled up. Despite the numbers staying on the site at no time did we have to wait for any of the washroom facilities, which were kept clean and to a good standard.
Disliked Nothing to disappoint us during this visit.
From the manager: Thank you Nick for your detailed review. We are glad that you come back to us regularly and we look forward to seeing you again! The Oak View Team Ruth and Rob 😊

Liked Peaceful and spacious
Welcoming
Facilities were clean and great
Washing machines & washing up sinks clean and nice area.
Wood Walks available around the pitch.
Disliked Not a dislike- but shops/pub etc are not very local if you want to walk.
From the manager: Thank you for your great review Adam!
Thats a lovely list of likes!
Regarding your dislike, the only thing we can say about that is to ask our customers to research what is in the area and how far away it is before they book. It is about a 20 minute walk. We do give out a direction sheet to the shop and pub and explain to anyone who wants to go there that it is walk and it is uphill on the way back. We do advise elderly customers or those with children to take their vehicles if possible.
We would love to see you again! The Oak View Team Ruth and Rob 😊
