What customers say
A spacious, peaceful campsite in a beautiful rural setting, perfect for a "back to basics" getaway. Guests love the freedom to pitch anywhere, the quiet ambiance, and the nearby pub. Facilities are clean, though can be limited when busy. Afternoon tea at the Priory is a must-try.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked The whole place was lovely just a gorgeous field in the countryside. We had the most wonderful time!
Disliked There seemed to be a wasp issue this year. However, this is not the campsites fault it’s just been a bad year for wasps.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Le site est magnifique, vaste et particulièrement au calme. En van, nous avons pu nous installer comme nous voulions.
Disliked Les toilettes (de chantier) étaient inutilisables (très sales et sentant extrêmement mauvais). Les douches ne sont pas top et la vaisselle se fait à l’eau froide. Cher au vu des prestations…

Good value for money, peaceful place, convenient location
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Big open space, in good driving distance to Dover Ferry
Good value for money
Friendly owner
Disliked Not a big negative, but the facilities are very basic - it's a large open field and there are a few festival-style portaloos dotted around. OK if you don't urgently need toilet or shower (or if you have your own).

Fantastic location, great hosts, bargain price. Plus afternoon tea! 😊
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Fantastic. So peaceful and relaxing, and only a handful of others here. Lovely views of the 'tree lined, rolling hill' field campsite.
If you're looking for somewhere to camp / van, etc, without all the frills then for £10 you can't beat this. 3 portaloos, 1 shower and a washing up sink. All very clean. I didn't use the shower but had a look inside. I also noticed taps around the field.
You can pitch anywhere you like and you'll have privacy. Arrive from midday and no pressure to leave early - when you're ready. Your money will be collected at the site.
If you pitch / park at the bottom of the hill your mobile signal may vary, but I'm on EE and generally had a good connection. Phone calls were a little tricky, but just walking up the field to a hight point sorted that.
I also treated myself to afternoon tea at Bilsington Priory itself . I'd really recommend this, as Libby and her team do a fantastic tea in a lovely setting, and no rushing.
100% recommended, and I'll be going again for both camping and afternoon tea. 😊😊
