January 2005 Visited here in a Caravan with EHU. Getting to the site is no problem, we followed the route from the Sat Nav and this took us through some lanes rather than through Tunbridge Wells and we found the roads were ok for the caravan but at one point it was single traffic only!
On arrival to the site we were met by a friendly lady who let us in and showed us the variety of pitches. As we were in a group of three (us, motorhome and tent) we selected one of the designated campfire areas and all pitched together. Access in and out of the site is by a key coded gate.
The site sold a large bag of wood for £3 each, lasts a couple of hours, and we enjoyed an evening aroung the fire.
The toilets and shower block were clean although very small - only one mens shower for the whole site! probably the same for the ladies.
Laundry also on site and washing up area (covered) with info on the local area was available.
Lots of grassed areas for the kiddies to play, ride bikes etc and concreted areas if it gets a little too muddy.
Other than that there is nothing else on the site, apart from the farm animals which the kids can go and look at, which makes it one very expensive place to camp, we paid £22.50 for two adults, 2 kids (under 13) and hookup per night for very sparse facilities, bearing in mind this was January and not peak season!!!
Tunbridge Wells is just 5 miles away, convienient for shopping etc with all the major high street stores and Tesco's / Co op etc all around the town.
Would I go back, yes if I didn't have the kids as it wouldn't be that expensive, no if I had the kids as nothing to entertain them on site and overpriced for them - £4 per child per night for no facilities apart from a swing attached to a tree.
Also site is very dark at night, don't forget your torch. Site was close to the road but we didn't really notice it.
August 2004 We visited this site over August Bank holiday last year. We booked ages in advance with two other groups of campers as we asked for electric hook up we were given a pitch at the back of the farm house. This pitch was not big enough to get our TT on so we did have to ask to move to another pitch next door. Even though the site advertises no set pitches we found we had to sort ourselves out into a suitable pitch as the owner seemed a bit fussy with who was going where. However she was concerned about each pitch having enough privacy. 1 other group in our party had to move up onto the field which was very open. We really liked this site though and there were plently of animals walking around. Yes you had to mind the geese but think this would be the case anywhere you just walk around them. We took our dog and she loved it, it was near a road but there was no access to it i.e. kids safe, we did not find this noisy. Also yes it was in a flight path but this seemed to change direction each night. The noise did not disturb us and in fact the kids loved watching the planes. The camp fires were really great and I havent found another site yet that has real camp fires. I was concerened when I read that there was only 1 shower but there was never a queue when we were there. There was a fridge and microwave and the facilities were IMACCULATELY clean with recycling facilities. We will visit this camp again this year but ask for a pitch behind the farm house with a camp fire. Highly recommended the kids loved it. Yes there were only 2 rope swings in the trees but they entertained themselves just running around. Also near to village shop selling every thing and nearby places of interest. If you like a relaxed camping trip this is for you.
September 2004 If you fancy a low key one this is for you. I took 3 kids along & they loved the walks with the dogs but theres no play park! theres chickens & geese roaming around so the kids can use up all ya crusty bread up on them. Theres a stagment lake that chucks up when the wind blows your way!! We loved the camp fire you can have as this really makes it, but remember to say you want one when you book cos theres only a couple, bag of wood 3 quid, lots of space when you camp, lots of noise from the road, lots of bikes on sunday morning! only 1 shower & 2 toliets. You can recycle all ya rubbish which I thought was thoughtful. Nothing else around outside camp, but if you want to take your motor or bike to visit thats your answer or a long walk. Good ole fashion camping & we loved it.
August 2004 27-31 August. Pitched in the Orchards with a camp fire. 2 Vango 900's and 1 600, 6 adults and 7 children. We were made to feel very welcome and the facilities were superb and spotless. The kids went feral for three days and mingled happily with the chickens, ducks and geese. well maybe not the geese. The only criticism if there has to be one is that it's under a flight path for Gatwick but not too noisy and it certainly didn't detract. There are plenty of things to do and see with kids in mind within easy reach of the site. I'll definatly be going back if they'll have me. 9/10
August 2004 After paying £72 for 3 nights for 2 adults and 3 children (ouch) we were offered a pitch in the area next to the farmhouse / B&B in a small area amongst many other tents. We asked if any other pitches were available and we were happy to be shown a huge field with beautiful views and fire pits. We were informed it's very windy here (very very true), we done it though through heavy rain and wind. Nice new toilet block, but no soap or hand dryer and if you smoke you have to detox two minutes before entering toilets because she hates smokers. In the same room as sinks, fridge etc so not much privacy either. Overall we were a bit disappointed as after reading the reviews and expecting a friendly warm welcome, we found it not as expected. It is a working farm so was noisy also in mornings.
Set in 500 acres of beautiful, rolling Kent countryside. The Oast village on site is the World's largest Oast house collection and makes for a spectacular backdrop. Grass and hardstanding pitches for caravans, tents and motorhomes with electric option. Modern toilets and showers and multiple washing up facilities.
Small shop onsite and pub/restaurant at the entrance. The River Medway flows through the site, providing idyllic waterside pitches. Make the most of the location and try your hand at canoeing or fishing or simply sit back, unwind and enjoy wildlife spotting. Five minutes' drive from Paddock Wood station and trains to London Find out more here
10 July 2004 Toilet/shower and washing up block fine, very clean etc. farm itself was run down, with signs saying "caution, building in danger of collapse" or to that effect, which was just great! all the buildings were run down around the place, geese wandering freely, which we were told to avoid as they were aggressive, (they set up camp between our tent and the car though!) we pitched next to the old tennis court, so we could have campfire, plenty of space around us, but right under flight path, lots of noisy planes, and next to a busy main road, (really busy!) not very peaceful. For the kids were 2 rope swings in trees, and a plastic football goal, thats it. couldn't get near to the ponds, as there were lots of old caravans pitched there, don't know if they were lived in or not, all in all, not worth the £20 it cost us for the one night, (2 adults, and 3&5 year olds). no animals on view other than the geese!
July 2004 What a great place! We arrived mid afternoon on a Monday and being our first ever camping trip were a little unsure of what happens next. We were greeted by a really nice lady who told us the gate combination number and said to pitch up anywhere we liked near one of the campfire sites (we had asked for this when we booked). We chose a spot tucked away in the corner so not to look like a pair of idiots trying to put our tent up in front of others far more experienced! Later that day she came to find us and took our fee - all very informal but extremely helpful as to local attractions, details of the farm etc.
The toilet and showers were faultless. They were some of the cleanest I have ever seen, including my own at home. The shower was lovely and hot and free too. There is only one ladies and one gents shower which may cause problems if the site was fully booked, but would be well worth a short wait. They have a sink for dishwashing and another for washing clothes, although this can be done by the house for a small charge. There are recycling points too for bottles, cans etc.
The ducks and geese came to see us every morning as did the cat which added to the charm, and being woken by the woodpecker rather than our alarm clock was fantastic.
We lit a campfire twice during our stay and that too added to the whole experience (they sell logs for £3.00 for a bag)
The surrounding woodland is stunning for a nice walk and there are plenty of local attractions.
We can't wait to go back - it was peaceful, quiet, clean, pretty, spacious and just about perfect for us.
9½/10 (can't give 10 as we have nothing to compare it to!)
July 2004 As already said a nice site, pick your own spot, but as most seemed to like being amongst the trees this meant you were a little close to your neighbour, but there's a large field which we chose for a more secluded feel, although it did not spoil in any way our enjoyment you are under the flight path to Gatwick therefore it could be a little noisy. This being our first camping trip we could not have made a better beginning.
May 2004 8 of us visited Manor Court Farm on a glorious weekend in May, and we had a great time relaxing in the sun. We took a camper van, 3 tents and a car and set up in a field with roaring camp-fire - you can buy fire wood from the farmhouse easy enough. It's better to camp away from the farmhouse as the road got busy on Sunday with motorbikes zooming around. Because there is a b&b on site, we were lucky to have breakfast of coffee and croissants in the garden, for £5 each. Lots of walks nearby across fields and lots of country pubs to visit. The toilet and shower facilities are new and clean but more showers are needed. I would definately go back!

July 2003/August 2003 Manor Court Farm is a lovely, quiet, friendly campsite. The children loved the animals and the space to run around in and play, whilst I loved the peace, the clean shower block and wonderful open fire to cook on.
The owners are friendly and helpful, offering advice for areas to visit and where shops are etc.
The site is wonderful for those people who like camping with a bit of seclusion.

may 2003 this campsite was fantastic. secluded spots and a real campfire what more could you ask for! for a quiet friendly and relaxing break this site is a must. we loved it

Me and a group of five youngish (mid 20's) friends have just spent the weekend at Manor Court Farm in Kent, just west of Royal Tunbridge Wells.
The entrance to the farm is signposted but somehow we missed it, so we drove on to Ashurst and had to turn around.
Once in the site, the camp is situated in wooded fields with various "pitches", none really designated around the farm, but some are quite secluded. There is probably room for fifteen or so in total, with about four with electric hook ups. During our stay there were three other permanent caravans and a tent.
We chose the furthest away pitch next to the second designated camp fire, the only problem being that there must have been some clay or stone under the earth as putting in tent pegs became difficult in some places.
The site has two designated camp fire areas, but I did see a good few other burn marks on the ground. The owners never visited us during the stay so I guess you could get away with having a fire in other areas. There are plenty of bricks around for safety purposes. The owners also provided free dry wood which was handy for us as the Friday it rained.
Scattered around the campsite there are various wooden tables and chairs for anybody to use, but not as fire wood.
The showers are free, however there is just one for each sex but they are very good quality with plenty of hot water and with quite strong jets. Two toilets each in the same block which were good, clean but the doors in the male section didn't close properly. Within the toilet/shower block there is a place to do washing up, a toaster and even a microwave. Next time we are going to bring a kettle to plug in.
The farm is occupied by a number of animals including a dog, a number of ducks, a roaster, a few geese and a cat which had just given birth to eight adorable little kittens.
The farm owner is very nice and friendly lady, as the farm is also a B&B you can also get breakfast for a fiver or B&B for about £20ish. You can also get clothes washed, a single load at £1.50.
The cost is £5 per person for the first night and then £4.50 each night afterwards.
The site is situated just five miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent so for visiting various places of interest, including Tunbridge itself, the site is very well placed.
The camp has no other amenities, no pool, no kids play area, but if you want a basic site with camp fires, some wildlife and a friendly atmosphere then have a look at: http://www.manorcourtfarm.co.uk
