Date of Visit: September 2013 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Tall Mark 13 reviews from this member

 Just Returned from our second visit to this site - always a good recommendation.

This is an unusual site as it has no set pitches, giving you freedom to set up where you like in a range of open and wooded areas.

The facilities are a little basic but there is plenty of hot water, a fridge, freezer and washing machine you don't need to pay for. Most importantly they are generally clean. Although they are unheated and on a cold September evening getting out of the shower is bracing.

The cost is a little high until you consider what is included. And the owners could not be more helpful or friendly.

The site is generally well kept, although at the end of the season after some heavy rain some of the paths were a bit muddy - as you would expect in the country. The ground was cracked with some very large fissures from the previous dry spell, some of these were ankle breaking in the dark and if I had one complaint they could have been filled in.

This is good site for exploring North Kent and has a relaxed atmosphere allowing camp fires.

The owners are great and the mix of facilities just right. Slightly better showers would help, but unless you are totally prim don't let this put you off.

Would certainly go back again.

 Just returned home, this campsite is so relaxing. It is a beautiful location and the owners are so laid back, extremely helpful, very friendly and have created a perfect camping experience. When we arrived (we hadn't booked, just turned up) the owner was very welcoming and took us round showing us all the different places we could set up camp, so much to choose from, we decided to set up in the woods. It wasn't a case of 'You can set up here or over there' the choice was ours. The shower block has constant hot water, I noticed but didn't use a washing machine which appeared to be free! there are two fridge freezers, and plenty of room to do your washing up, again with plenty of hot water, washing up liquid and clothes also available. We initially paid for two nights and then stayed a further three only leaving because the weather changed, the owners were perfectly happy for us to do this. Would we recommend well must say a very definite YES!

 Lovely holiday on a lovely site. Plenty of space for the three boys to run around/swing/climb safely, and wear themselves out. Small play area for under 5s basic but popular.

Great beaches locally, and plenty to do even on wet days. Ask the owners for local recommendations - really helpful information pack also.

Shower/toilet facilities adequate, would highly recommend using the outdoor shower. Could do with a little more fridge space when the site is busy.

The option of campfires was a big hit, and even when the site was more busy we didn't feel crowded. I'm sure we'll be back.

 A beautiful campsite with lots of seclusion. Great walk from site to pub, woods and ponds to entertain and lots of space for cricket. Perfect for our two families with 6 children aged 7 to 15. Would definitely go again. Our weekend felt like a proper holiday.

Only negative would be the washrooms - very small and not particularly clean. Only one set of showers and loos which are at the far end of the site so take a torch! There are a couple of portaloos around the site but these are truly disgusting.

 This was my first time camping but my husband and daughter have done it a few times. We are a family of 5, 2 adults 1 teenager and two boys aged 4 and 3.

I found my first experience to be a pleasant one. I enjoyed being surrounded by nature and the kids loved it and the freedom too. The owners are really friendly and made us feel very welcome. We did a lot of exploring as well and loved seeing the frogs and swans.

I would go again.

Thank you

Reviewer: Thedowsons 2 reviews from this member

 Nethergong really is our Number 1 favourite place to go. It is the only campsite we have returned to more than once (we have notched up 6 visits so far!)and we will continue to return year after year.

There is something so incredibly relaxing about it. This is in part to do with a beautiful location but also has a lot to do with Christine and Jed's wonderfully laid back approach to life. They are extremely helpful, very friendly and have created the perfect camping experience.

We have always camped in the open field so that our children can play in the open space. But they equally love exploring the woods, streams and ponds. We loose them for hours and they can safely go off and explore and especially love the rope swings that were new this year.

There is a great walk you can do around the Nethergong perimeter with an abundance of wildlife to see.

The facilities are excellent. We never have to queue for anything and the recent addition of an 'al-fresco' shower is a real winner. The toilets are kept clean and well stocked (loo rolls / soap etc). There is a huge fridge freezer which is so helpful for keeping food chilled and ice blocks frozen.

I can't say much about places to visit as we tend to go to the campsite and not move for a whole weekend - that's how relaxing it is! But we are fairly local and we would definitely recommend a visit to Whitstable, Broadstairs (Joss Bay) and Canterbury. There is also a great 50 minute walk (slow pace with children!) over fields to a lovely pub called the Gate Inn at Marshside.

I am constantly put off going to campsites who feel they can severely over-charge for everything. As a family of five with a large tent and an extra canopy we would be looking at £35-40 a night at many campsites which I feel is just not justified. Christine and Jed only charge per pitch at a very reasonable £20 a night (plus a small charge for fire wood). If you like peaceful, proper campfire camping at a reasonable price then Nethergong is perfect and that is why I can't wait to go for my 7th visit and many more after that!

 We have just spent 5 nights camping here with our 2 girls, aged 4 & 8. Wow! This campsite is fantastic! Lovely peaceful site, big fields with loads of space which are not overcrowded for the children to run around in. Lovely hot showers and clean toilets. Great covered area for washing up. Nice little shop on site. The owners and the members of their family who help them to run the site are incredibly friendly and welcoming and really look after the site whilst leaving everyone alone to enjoy themselves. There is lots to see in the area including some fabulous castles (such as Deal castle) and some beautiful woodland areas and plenty to do on rainy days. I am not a natural camper (although the rest of the family love it), however I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Nethergong. This is a very special place. We will be back!

 One word describes this site = fantastic.

We were made to feel welcome and wasn't inundated with rules and regulations. We could camp where we felt comfortable, which we chose the wooded area by the quiet country lane.

We were greeted by a Woodpecker as we arrived and saw a Marsh Harrier flying over the field.

The metal fire holder provided by the site with logs and kindling available to purchase was an excellent idea.

The showers/toilets are basic but what more do you need.

Even with plenty of other campers at the weekend it was still peaceful.

We strongly recommend this site for singles, couples, families and small groups.

 A nice setting with lots of space and helpful and friendly owners. The toilet and shower block is very basic but adequate. If you buy fire wood from the site make sure it is dry as ours wasn't so lots of smoke and blowing and fanning required! The nearest supermarket is a 15 minute drive and there are a couple of nice pubs in the area. The downside is the bumpy road to the camp site which is not fit for road vehicles! Would return if the road was usable.

 Stayed two nights at this lovely camp site last year with my (then) five year old son.

The owners are very friendly and accommodating.

They suggested a pitch close to the 'frog pond' which was a big hit with my son - and all the other little kids on the site that weekend.

My son had a whale of a time fishing the poor old frogs in and out of the pond.

The site is safe and very child friendly. The owners let the children help them feed the chickens every morning.

We had plenty of space and enjoyed a camp fire. Toilet and shower facilities were fine.

The site is not too far from Canterbury and the beaches in Thanet.

Tried to book into the site again for this August but they were full. Many campers we spoked to while we were there were regular visitors.

Will definitely go back again and hopefully stay a little longer.
