Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: A great site with a lovely view and open space to pitch tent. The owners are easily contactable and provided good level of detail to locate and access site.
Affordable but with everything you need. Jayne and Mark were kind enough to let us borrow a fire pit when we had forgotten ours. Plus we had the whole place to ourselves due to the time of the year! Dog friendly which was a huge plus for us.
Disliked: That we did not stay for longer!

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The family who owned the site was super friendly, greeting us when we arrived and making friendly conversation throughout our stay
There is only one porta potty but it was incredibly clean, always with water, soap and toilet paper
Disliked: It is by a road so you can hear cars at night
We found the surrounding walks a bit limiting without a car
Nothing wrong with the campsite itself but If you are coming by public transport it is NOT ACCESSIBLE BY FOOT FROM HEADCORN STATION TO THE SITE which I wish we knew beforehand but there is taxi services from the station that we paid £8.50 for a trip to the site
