  • Spacious farm site on the Kent and East Sussex border
  • Half an hour’s drive from Camber Sands
  • Campfires, café-bar, pick-your-own pitches and adventure playground
Pitch up at Park Farm Caravan and Camping for pitchside campfires galore plus piles of spectacular wide open space around which to cycle, fly kites and let the kids (and dogs) run wild. Set on a farm in a peaceful rural spot on the border between Kent and East Sussex, this site is bordered by a little river and surrounded by miles upon miles of handsome countryside; for days out off site, the swell little seaside resort of Camber Sands is a handy half an hour’s drive away, and attractions like the Kent and Sussex Railway, Bodiam Castle and Bedgebury Pinetum are within a short drive too. Back at base, there’s heaps of stuff to keep guests of all ages amply amused all day long, like free fishing into the neighbouring river direct from the site. For kids there’s a partially fenced adventure playground with a trim trail, a play fort and a big slide for small folk to let off steam at. For rainy day, the open-sided barn is furnished with more fun-based bits, like a seesaw and other kit and games. When peckish or thirsty head over to the site's café and bar – The Camp Stove Kitchen – for delicious food and drinks (perhaps even a cheeky cocktail…). Otherwise, head to the neighbouring pub for a feed or an afternoon pint of guest ale. After a feed, it’s a splendid idea to have an amble around the farm to – the site owners actively maintain natural habitats to keep local wildlife happy, so while out and walking around one might well catch sight of some native critters too, from deer, barn owls and lots of other bird species to plenty of butterflies and insects.

What customers say

Spacious, family-friendly campground with a relaxed vibe. Praised for clean facilities, friendly staff & great kids' play area. Good spot for walks & amenities. Some found facilities a bit far, noted noise from big groups. WiFi can be hit and miss.

Liked Family Friendly nice staff . Love the bar in the barn. Onsite shop/ cafe a bonus.
Beautiful surroundings near to lots of amenities and places to go.
Clean toilets and shower blocks.
Freezers to freeze ice blocks and charging station for phones.

Disliked This was our second time back ( first time was during easter hols) was very busy this time bank hoilday weekend. An additional shower block is needed to meet demand and some flood lighting on the bar barn overlooking the play area would be good as it remains open till 10pm and kids still want to play. These are constructive suggestions not really a dislike as I think this is a lovely camping site. My only real dislike was the amount of under 25 groups as some were a bit to much and certainly not great round families but get that it's hard to manage that as people book separately.

Liked So much space! Really welcoming site and in a perfect area. Prices decent in the bar too.

Disliked Quiet time wasn't really adhered too by many. More toilets in the main fields would help a touch.

Liked Staff at the campsite are so nice and can’t do enough for you. Bar was good prices as was wood. Nice to be able to use the freezer to keep blocks cold. The toilets are being cleaned pretty much continuously. The site itself is well maintained.

Disliked The man who works in the shop is unbelievably rude and aggressive. I asked for a coffee in the morning and he said you’ve got more chance of meeting Jesus, it’s either have a shower or get a coffee you can’t have both. (Apparently the water supply isn’t great but if it’s a problem every day then maybe put a sign up or communicate nicely with the Q) Shop itself is good, prices ok and the lady and kids working are lovely. I will not mark the site down for this but he does really ruin the atmosphere. I started sending my husband in as I didn’t want to encounter him.

Would be nice to add a light onto the play park to be on while the bar is still open. Needs a few more toilets and showers for the peak times. The main field was bedlam with people screaming and swearing at each other well into the early hours. The electric scooter/bike rule was ignored by a lot of campers annoyingly.

Liked Most campsites don’t allow camp fires so my children really enjoyed being able to have a fire each night. Very helpful that the log man drives round each day selling you bags of logs.
Nice play area for children and bar for adults
In a pretty part of Kent close to some lovely days out

Disliked Things went really downhill at the weekend. Our lovely quiet spot turned into Glastonbury with campers rocking up everywhere. So many large groups with lots of heavy drinking.
Unfortunately the campers behind us got completely drunk and were sick in the bush behind our tent.
Campsite is good at making sure the loud music is turned off at 10 but on the Saturday it was still really loud late into the night and a fight nearly started at one point.
The site was far too big and busy for us and only 1 shower block and washing up room which meant Sunday morning was extremely busy.
There were also so many children riding at speed around on bikes late into the night with no lights on which was very dangerous.
No recycling apart from glass on site.
I would say visit in the week if you’re looking for a calmer, quieter visit but avoid the weekend unless you’re looking for a big party

Local attractions

The plentiful paths that lie around the site also link up with other local footpaths, like the one that runs beside the river to Bodiam Castle, about 20 minutes’ amble away. At Bewl Water you can go sailing, canoeing, windsurfing and cycling, or you can head to the shingle stretches at Camber Sands for windsurfing and jetskiing at Cooden beach near Bexhill. If angling’s more your sort of water-based pursuit, fish free of charge for chub and roach from the site, or head to the nearby fish farm. For a spot of local history, visit National Trust properties like Sissinghurst Castle, Cranbrook, Smallhythe Place, Scotney Castle and Batemans; should you instead fancy being ferried around, get all aboard at Bodiam for the Kent and East Sussex Railway.
