By the River Medway in Yalding, with river access for watersports
A 25-minute drive to Leeds Castle; half an hour to Sissinghurst
Pub, railway station and canoe hire within a five-minute walk

If your kind of retreat is one where you’re free to wade in the river, paddle downstream and spend evenings in a waterside pub, Riverview Camping and Caravans might be what you’ve been searching for. This peaceful site is right next to the River Medway, in the Kent village of Yalding… Naturally, that makes it a particularly fine spot for those aiming to launch their watersports kit while on a rural break, as it’s in the middle of the River Medway Canoe Trail from Tonbridge to Allington. There’s direct access to the river from the site, with a couple of slipways and a canoe hire place within a few minutes’ walk as well. The riverside setting is also a good one for those looking to settle down somewhere peaceful and pretty – but that’s not all this location has going for it. It’s also handily less than five minutes’ walk from the railway station, a coffee shop with a play area, and a lovely riverside pub/restaurant. Stroll for a little further (all of about 10 minutes) to get to the village centre for more pubs, takeaways, a tearoom, a bakery and the village shop. It’s all mighty convenient for those travelling without a car. Back at the site, basic amenities are in place – guests will have access to toilets and a washing-up area, but there’s no hot water available. Those hoping to spend the evening stoking a fire are in luck, as both campfires and barbecues are permitted on site.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: We had a fantastic weekend! My dad stayed 2 nights in his campervan, I stayed 1 night in a tent with 2 kids and my sister stayed 1 night in a tent with her husband and 2 kids.

The river access is absolutely brilliant! It is sheltered and perfect for paddle boarding. We had so much fun jumping, swimming and boating!

There were plenty of toilets and it was a busy but relaxing and nice atmosphere. We made friends and shared our boats. We borrowed a little fire pit.

The site is secure and safe. There's a little play area for kids in the trees and a washing up station. There's also 2 sheep! It's nothing too flashy but its absolutely brilliant!

Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass and earth pitch (riverside)

Liked: The spacious pitches right by the river were perfect! And fire pits allowed made our nights even more enjoyable! Such a beautiful site, really enjoyed our stay. Plenty of toilets and drinking water access, the only downfall was no shower facilities, but for just a weekend stay it was fantastic! Clare and her team were amazing, made our stay perfect, thank you so much!

Disliked: Lack of shower hence 9 stars

Non-electric grass and earth pitch (riverside)

Liked: We stayed at this campsite over the Summer Solstice weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Despite it being a busy time of year, the site never felt overcrowded. There was plenty of space between pitches, and the overall layout really allowed everyone to enjoy their stay without feeling cramped.

We were lucky enough to have a riverside pitch, which was absolutely lovely. The river brought a constant stream of gentle activity throughout the weekend—kayakers, paddle boarders, and the peaceful sound of water made it feel like a mini retreat in nature.

The facilities were in fantastic condition—clean, well-maintained, and clearly cared for. It really added to the comfort of the stay.

And with the weather turning up the heat, it was the perfect way to spend a scorcher of a weekend. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely space, playground in middle of field so can see kids all the time, they were able to be free. Lake very calming, was able to have a fire at night, despite the weather it did not stop us from enjoying a couple of nights away, that’s what camping is all about, the different experiences, memories and being outdoors. We all loved it especially our son and dog lol.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Non-electric grass and earth pitch (riverside)

Liked: Absolutely everything about this site is good
Lovely clean toilets,nice big pitches so plenty of room to spread out fantastic for countryside walks or hop on a train and go further afield .

Disliked: A little bit of demarcation on the riverside pitches we had a fishing swim on our pitch and the people next to us just kept moving thier stuff over onto it and had faced the tent on the boundary line looking straight at us ,also charging extra for children would make it very expensive ,maybe 2 children could be included in the pitch fee as no showers or electric on site

Local attractions

Pay a visit to the biggest collection of teapots in England. If such a thing wasn’t on your travel wishlist previously, it will be now – after all Teapot Island is only five minutes’ walk away. Also close by is The Hop Farm (five minutes’ drive), likely to be a hit with young kids due to its small farm animals and soft play. Adults will be happy to find things catering to their taste too. Fishing activities are available at Claygate Lakes (10 minutes) and at Mereworth Wines (10 minutes), taste test local wines and potions in the winery and taproom. If it’s the historical sort of stuff you’re mostly interested in, Leeds Castle (25 minutes) and Scotney Castle (25 minutes) will get that in full swing. Straight out of the 17th century, Knole Park (half an hour) is a National Trust site with a deer park, gatehouse tower and attics. Sissinghurst Castle Garden (half an hour) is another historical spot, with a Grade I-listed park and gardens. As for peaceful walks by the river and picnics in meadows, head to Teston Bridge Country Park (10 minutes).
