  • Lively family-friendly campsite on a North Downs farm in Kent
  • A 15-minute drive from Dover Castle and the White Cliffs of Dover
  • Shop, field kitchen and a gin bar; family activities and cinema nights
Set among pear and apple trees on a North Downs farm in Kent, Fallow Fields - Selson Farm is a family-friendly spot only 10 minutes’ drive from the historic town of Sandwich. The camping fields occupy six acres of land, consisting of a large main field and a secluded area within the apple orchard, with parking available in the adjacent field. Dogs are welcome to accompany you, as long as they’re kept on their leads while you’re on site. An on-site shop sells all the basics for barbecues and family suppers, including cold alcoholic and soft drinks, and also does a good line in barista-style coffee for your morning caffeine fix. On certain days there are organised activities for the whole family, including bushcraft, yoga, wine tasting, arts and crafts, tie dyeing and rather less sedate welly-wanging competitions. There’s a retreat tent filled with games, where ever-popular cinema nights are also held. The field kitchen opens for food on mid-week and weekend evenings during the school holidays, and the grown ups can sneak off for a crafty snifter at the gin-and-fizz bar.

Marc S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: This was our second trip to Fallow Fields. It is a lovely clean and welcoming site with very friendly staff and good clean facilities.
The field kitchen serves the best wood fired pizza I’ve ever had and the bar has a good selection of drinks.
Very much looking forward to coming back again.

Disliked: I feel the shop has a limited variety for people who are traveling light and it would be handy if they took cash, or at least advertise that it’s a card only site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Marc, thank you so much for your review, we’re glad you enjoyed all of our facilities and the friendly customer service we offer. We’re thrilled you enjoyed our pizzas and will take a look at our signage to make sure our card only policy is clear. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

From the manager: Hi, thank you for the feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed our site and would recommend us to your friends. Regarding the smell, we hope it didn’t affect your stay, however, onsite storage is the reality of rural locations that offer ‘like home’ facilities, and you can get the odd whiff!
