  • Peaceful farm site on the edge of 2,000 acres of ancient woodland
  • A mile and a half from Honey Hill and two miles from Blean
  • Direct access to Blean Woods National Nature Reserve
Come and pitch up at Brook Farm Glamping and Camping for days full of strolling, den building and bike riding in Blean Woods, a 2,000-acre national nature reserve that backs directly onto the farm. This small-scale site is an eco-friendly place, with innovative solutions like solar-powered lighting and a composting toilet, plus upcycled washing machines that have been given a second life as barbecues and firepits. There are also cute animals here that the kids can meet, including rabbits, sheep, goats and miniature chickens. There's a good range of facilities on offer here, with well-maintained showers, toilets and a washing-up area. A selection of local produce is also available on site, or for a wider variety of food and drinks you could head to the nearest pub in Honey Hill (five minutes' drive) or to the village stores in Blean (five minutes). Holidays here will probably involve frequent trips to the beach, as Brook Farm Glamping and Camping is 15 minutes from Whitstable and half an hour from Margate by road. There are also inland attractions to explore, including the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (10 minutes) and the historic cathedral city of Canterbury (15 minutes). As long as they're OK with all the other animals that call this place home and are kept on leads, dogs are very welcome to join you at Brook Farm Glamping and Camping.

Liked I really liked it. We were four couples with their children, ages 2 to 7. We were able to spend time together. The animals and bathrooms were all very clean and organized. Everything was organized, and the staff was very friendly. The weather was on our side.

Liked Nice peaceful site with good showers and loos. Not far to Whitstable, Faversham (great beer) and Canterbury. Nice big pitches. Our dog was intrigued by the goats and sheep! Easy to find due to being sent excellent directions. There are good dog walks through the woods adjacent to the site.

Disliked nothing.

Liked My daughter LOVED the animals in the middle and it's a brilliant addition. The woods are close by for walks. The facilities were always available in spite of the campsite looking full - they're basic and good. A charming camping run by nice people. The pizzas were good.

Disliked Unfortunately it only takes a few morons to cause a problem at a campsite and there were a group of grade A morons in the glamping section on our first night. Quite time was supposed to be from 10.30pm but the staff didn't manage to get them to be quiet with what sounded like a drinking game a football chant until 1145pm. It's not the staff's fault though and if these people are reading this please don't go campsites, I don't think it's your thing.

Liked Lovey site and run really well. Toilets and showers are fully functioning for a farm site this is perfect. Food and drink available. Very friendly. Good size pitches.
(I would recommend some anti midgie spray as I got 8 bites 🤣 but that's nothing to do with site or owners)

Local attractions

Build a den, follow a trail or fly a kite in the Kent Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that can be reached in about 10 minutes by road. Next, explore the more carefully managed landscapes on show at Belmont House and Gardens (20 minutes' drive), or prep a picnic for lunch on the beach at Whitstable (15 minutes). A little bit further up the coast, Margate (30 minutes) has art galleries, independent shops and fab contemporary restaurants to explore, while Broadstairs (35 minutes), one of Charles Dickens' favourite haunts, has old-world appeal with its cliffs, Victorian buildings and three separate bays. Away from the coast, Leeds Castle (25 minutes) has an impressive moat, fortress and well-maintained grounds to visit, while Dover Castle (30 minutes) has centuries of maritime history plus tunnels in the cliff face to explore. For more things to see and do, you'll be sorted in Canterbury (15 minutes), a UNESCO World Heritage Site city where top tourist sites include Canterbury Cathedral, St Augustine’s Abbey and the Canterbury Tales attraction, an interactive exhibit that brings Chaucer's stories to life.
