What customers say

Plenty of room on this big, open site, great for groups & families. Lovely riverside spot for walks & water sports. Friendly staff. Facilities mostly clean but can be basic/messy when busy. Some road/camper noise reported.

Unpowered grass site

Liked We stayed for 1 night in a non electric field as we wanted space for our nervous dog and didn’t want to be too near other people and we wasn’t disappointed. Lots of room to ourselves and lots of privacy

Disliked Far away from the toilets

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to leave a review.
Many guests bring a toilet tent so they can be in the fields far away from the facilities.
We look forward to your next visit but definitely avoid Bank Holidays.

Organised, good wash facilities, budget friendly.…

Unpowered grass site

Liked Huge site with plenty of pitches to choose from. Not at all crowded. Toilet block very clean.
Access to the river for dinghies, paddle boards etc
Loads of space for kids to play.
Friendly site.

Disliked The access road to the field near the river was full of pot holes. Not a massive problem but something to be aware of

Robert W.

Powered concrete and grass site

Liked We had a very warm welcome at the camp reception when we booked in.
Digital barriers for vehicles and speed bumps make it a safe site.
Lots of room to walk around the site with a dog.
A good location for visits to T.Wells and Tonbridge.
Good facilities, plenty of toilets and showers, plenty of hot water.
We were lucky that the boot fair was onsite on our weekend, not to be missed.

Disliked Not a fault of the owners at all but we normally book adults only sites.
It was a late booking for the area we wanted to visit family, no issues at all no complaints.

Local attractions

Once the kids let you off site, Kent (aka The Garden of England) has beaches, historic towns, forests and more castles, stately homes (and gardens) open to the public than anywhere else in the country. If this isn't enough, Paddock Wood railway station is five minutes’ drive from The Hop Farm for a train to London, less than an hour away. Dover is within 60 miles for a day trip to France. Kent has 350 miles of coastline, with Blue Flag beaches, watersports and those famous white cliffs at Dover. Eight of the 11 Blue Flaggers are in Ramsgate, Margate and Broadstairs; Whitstable and Herne Bay are also popular with oyster eaters, anglers and jetskiers. There are umpteen options for families in the area including play centres, farms, horse riding and days out. Howletts Wild Animal Park at Canterbury has the biggest group of looked-after gorillas in the world and experiences for visitors such as junior ranger days. Penshurst Place and Gardens has historical re-enactments, children’s trails, an adventure playground and special events during the school holidays. Both Leeds Castle at Maidstone and Hever Castle near Edenbridge are family-friendly and packed with activities and events. There’s a Go Ape! at Leeds Castle as well as two mazes, boat trips, falconry displays, underground grotto and the Knights' Realm Playground, a scale model of the castle (and a golf course and golf instruction for the grownups). Hever, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, has a yew maze and water maze, award-winning gardens and a topiary. Back with the big folk, the old market towns of Tonbridge, Maidstone, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge Wells are close by for shopping and sightseeing. Bluewater shopping centre is in Greenhithe (rival Lakewater is just over the Essex border at West Thurrock).
