  • Off-grid farm site outside Eastchurch on the Isle of Sheppey
  • Views over the Thames Estuary and a 10-minute drive from beaches
  • Meet the farm animals on site and buy free-range eggs for breakfast
Cooking up a few fresh free-range eggs for a cracking Kent coastal breakfast? What a way to start the day. That terrific view out over the Thames Estuary isn’t the only option as breakfast backdrop for guests at Clifftop Camping though. Pitches at this scenic Isle of Sheppey farm site are sorted on a pick-your-own basis, so you’re welcome to meander around the meadow, woodland and pond areas too before selecting a spot in which to settle. And those eggs? Well, they’re from the hens that reside on this working farm. You can buy their offerings while you’re staying here, and meet their pals too: the current roster includes sheep, goats, horses, ponies, ducks and rheas. This is an off-grid site so you’ll need to step away from the gadgets – but sea views trump screen time anyway, eh?. It’s also pretty stripped-back on the facilities front, but there is one compost toilet and one tented chemical toilet, and you can access water in the farmyard. For eats and supplies, a couple of pubs and shops are a mile away in Eastchurch; bigger supermarkets, restaurants and the like are 10 minutes’ drive away in Sheerness. Ins and outs should be fairly easy here, as you’re only around a 20-minute drive from the M2 and an hour or so from London. If you’d rather roam on public transport, there’s a bus connection to Eastchurch from Sheerness station.

What customers say

Remote, peaceful clifftop site with stunning sea views, especially at sunset. Ample space, freedom to pick your spot for privacy and wild camping vibes. Basic facilities (compost toilet, water tap) suit off-grid seekers. Friendly host praised. Some find it pricey for amenities, but views and tranquility are top-notch.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We were warmly welcomed on our arrival & found a beautiful spot on the cliff face outlooking the ocean. Our stay was blissfully restful, stunning & peaceful. With so much land, we took several walks & totally enjoyed the nature around us. Drinking water was available close to us. Thank you to the owners who shared some lovely stories with us too.

Disliked Facilities were basic (but we were made aware of this on website)

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked It was our second time here. We loved the peace, quiet, and stunning views. Great landlords as well!

Disliked A little on the expensive side considering it is off-grid with no facilities- we would probably stay another night if the price was lower. Regardless, we will be back even if just for one night again.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked I loved that we were able to choose a spot that suited us in the field. The view was stunning.
It was wonderfully peaceful and quiet. All the other campers were well behaved too, which is what we expected and enjoyed to the full.
Our host was lovely too.
I would love to return and enjoy a longer stay.

Disliked We had arrived quite late and did not have a fire pit, like some of the others had. It would have been nice if there were more available.

The composting toilets.. instructions were great, thank you, but the ventilation could be better.

The button for the exit to be signposted a little better.

Local attractions

If you’ve picked a place called Clifftop Camping it’s highly likely you’ll be after a bit of coast action. The quickest way to get it is to clamber down the cliffs (easier than it might sound; no abseiling needed) for a quiet little beach with some fab sea fishing to be done. Other options nearby include Minster Leas beach (10 minutes’ drive) and Shellness beach (20 minutes), where there's also a naturist area for folk seeking a skinny dip. Active types are well sorted for things to keep them busy too: saddle up at the stables five minutes away, tee off at Sheerness Golf Club (10 minutes’ drive) or breeze over to Barton's Point Coastal Park (10 minutes) for a nature trail, adventure playground and watersports. For a nod to travels of the past, it’s off to Eastchurch Aviation Museum (five minutes) or a narrow-gauge ride on the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway (20 minutes). Doddington Place Gardens are just over half an hour away if you’re more interested in gentle wanderings.
