  • Quiet adults-only site in the Kent Downs National Landscape
  • North Downs Way 10 minutes’ walk; Folkestone 20 minutes’ drive
  • Three pubs, a vineyard and fishing lake all within walking distance
If you like to be surrounded by stunning natural views, then family-run Horton View Farm is the place for you. Five minutes’ drive away from the Kent villages of Stowting and Brabourne, this adults-only site is set on a quiet lane with views across to the hills and valleys of the Kent Downs National Landscape. There are scenic walks from the gate of the camping meadow, as well as spectacular sunrises and sunsets and dark skies filled with shimmering stars on clear nights. Approached by neatly mown paths through the wild meadow, each tent has its own firepit, and logs are available to purchase from the site. It’s mostly off-grid (so bring your own torches), but it does have flushing toilets and hot showers, a fridge and a freezer for guests to use, and an open barn with a social area where you can relax and take in the stunning landscape. A vineyard, several pubs and a fishing lake are within half an hour’s walk of the site along quiet lanes and footpaths, so leave the car behind if you choose. The very nearest pub is just five minutes’ stroll away, and if good local produce is your thing, there are exceptional farm shops, bakeries and farmers’ markets throughout the area.

Simon M.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Lovely new site.
Good quality, layout and quantity of facilities.
No car at pitch(whilst staying). It generate a much calmer experience.
Three great pubs close by. Nice walks but there are missing footpaths.
Open sided barn make a lovely get-out-of-the-rain communal area, with fridge/freezer and sofas.
Lastly the owners. Jo and Dave are lovely hosts that ensure your stay is a perfect one.

Disliked Nothing really. This is a high 90s percent site.
No car at pitch (setting up and putting away). Big tent and lots of stuff, but we managed.
M25 - but that is not Horton View Farm's doing.
May be one sit down loo if the site was very busy.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked The owners have been very thoughtful in creating a peaceful environment by only mowing the paths and pitches in the meadow. The facilities were lovely and clean, the barn with seating area and kettle is another great touch. Very close to the Eurotunnel and also a good selection of pubs within walking distance. Highly recommended.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked There’s so many things to like about Horton View Farm so peaceful stunning views beautiful sunsets brilliant location and facilities that definitely stand out from the rest but the one that stood out the most to me was the hosts Jo and Dave who were so lovely and welcoming and really couldn’t do enough for you anything you needed was no trouble.

Disliked My only dislike was that I didn’t stay longer…

Nicola C.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked This site is beautiful, I stayed with my 18 year old daughter and we had an amazing and relaxing 3 days. Jo and Dave are amazing hosts, they have created a haven for campers that enjoy a peaceful and natural environment that is ecologically and environmentally friendly. Having stayed at many campsites, this site is one of the most thought-out and cleanest places I have stayed in. We particularly liked the cut out meadow paths and not being surrounded by cars, however, that said, wheel barrows and trundle carts are provided for transporting, we liked the communal barn and all the facilities. Thank you, Jo and Dave for a memorable break and for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful haven. We look forward to returning in the future.

Disliked Nothing.

From the manager: Aw thanks so much for your fabulous review Nicola, it means a lot to hear you enjoyed the site so much. We feel so lucky to live in this beautiful haven and it was a pleasure to share it with you and your daughter.

Just perfect. Everything has been thought…
