Positiv: Location is beautiful & loved it was small but not over crowded with a sensible number of pitches. All tge pitches were adequate in size & you didn't feel others were too close either. The surrounding area & the River Rother is beautiful.

I should also mention the owners are very friendly, welcoming & helpful.

Highly recommend.

Negativ: We didn't dislike anything about the campsite except others apparent inability at times to follow instructions on the compost toilets which made 1 out of 3 unusable during most of our visit. That said we are sure if we had let the owners know that would have been resolved swiftly.

Positiv: Lovely place. Really calm quiet & tranquil. The kids met some other kids who were lovely & enjoyed playing together.

Positiv: Considering the amount of rain that had fallen prior to our arrival, the camp had excellent drainage and there was a layer of hay so no mud at all, yay! Thank you! The ground was also pretty level for camping. We camped in the field near to the toilets. There was lots of space for us and other families to spread out. The site has a river running through it and is surrounded by fields. The kids aged between (8+ years) loved the freedom and the relaxed feel to the site. Communication was easy with Katie the owner and she made us feel very welcome. We also made use of the cooking facilities which were very convenient.

Negativ: This is more a personal preference but I wasn't so keen on the compost toilet situation but it was fine for a couple of nights.

Positiv: The location is amazing - such a peaceful space and so nice that you are right next to the river. The views of the river from inside the campsite and just opposite the road are amazing.

We also loved that you didn't need to drive anywhere, the place is well connected to local walks and also local pubs. When needed we would get a bus back and it is only a 30 min walk to the local bus station.

My partner and I prefer to have wild style camping sights, so the facilities were just what we needed. The site had some really cute simple compost toilets and bucket showers. The best surprise was the little kitchen area with a gas hobs - we have our own very basic gas cooker, but having this little area was great as meant we could get our pasta done a lot quicker!

Katie the owner was so lovely and accommodating but also gave campers plenty of time and space to get settled in the campsite on their own.

Absolutely loved our stay and sad to be away from nature again.

Negativ: It's quite a small campsite, so when it's busy it might be a bit much for those who are looking for a quite camping trip. But luckily, there were only 3 other pitches taken when we were there so we never felt this at all.

Positiv: We had a perfect couple of nights at Otter Channel - a really special location, both in terms of the immediate vicinity - local walks to Wittersham and Peasmarsh, right by the River Rothe, so kayaking was easy, and close to Camber Sands and Rye.

The site is idyllic, and really clean and well looked after - very responsive and helpful texting from Katie for us inexperienced campers as well - we would love to go back.

Negativ: Nothing comes to mind at all.

Positiv: Loved the peaceful setting with water so close, walks along the river with views across the meadows, swimming in the river.
Also loved the environmentally friendly toilets, little shop and washing up facilities.

Positiv: Otter channel is a very peaceful campsite. I liked that there weren’t too many other campers and there was lots of free space for the children to play. It is a very simple campsite but everything is done very well. From charming loos which don’t smell to bucket showers which the kids loved. The horse trailer shop had everything we needed. It is in an excellent location right next to the river. The lady who runs it, Katie, couldn’t have been more helpful linking us up with a local kayak hire. We have been before and will come back again.

Negativ: There really isn’t anything we disliked.
