 Stayed here for one night after visiting friends for lunch. We arrived at noon before the office opened so parked in the 'Late Arrivals' car park. Fortunately the owners arrived half an hour later as another motorhome had arrived so we were able to pitch before going out for lunch.
Grass pitch was level. The hardstandings seemed to be mainly taken by storage caravans. Site very quiet. Toilet and showers were very clean. There is a room marked 'Laundry' containing two washing machines, two driers and two sinks.
One for hand washing clothes the other for washing up.
All were very clean. There are also play facilities for children. Water and Chemical waste disposal available. Grey water goes on the plants.
Easy access from A20 and there is also a brown camping direction sign just before the turning.

Another great long bank holiday weekend at this great family friendly site. The wardens are so friendly.
We love it. Very busy and apart from a couple of birthday celebrations, who thought the rules didn't apply to them, it was great and we look forward to being back in August.

While this is a nice site, the rules and regulations were too excessive for us. Considering the facilities, we found this an expensive site and the many 'add ons' felt ridiculous!
Some of the rules seemed to be flaunted by other while being enforced on us, maybe our faces didn't fit?
While the staff seemed friendly enough, they didn't seem to want to please us to make our stay pleasant.

Karen and Dave were extremely helpful and friendly.
The site was well kept with a lovely play area, lots of useful local information with nice touches like magazines/books and children's games to borrow.
The shower block was clean and well maintained.
We only had a short stay but found it excellent value for money and we will definitely use them again.

Stayed here for an overnight stop.
Silly opening hours at lunchtime. Two caravans queueing up to get in and someone did come and open up eventually. If you are trying to get back at lunchtime and caravans queueing you have no hope as your entry will be blocked.
Gates locked at night but there is a car parking area.
Slightly sloping pitches but it was kept well.
Neat and tidy, washrooms clean.
Price was far too high. Next time we will go back to Hawthorn Park near Dover. A more convenient and better priced site

We have been using this site for about a year and half. Its very clean and tidy. Lovely people.
David and Karen that own it are so helpful and friendly. They keep the toilet/showers very clean. The ground are kept very tidy.
They have a well stocked shop. Would recommend this site to any one with or without children.

Young families are so well looked after and they are always there for you whether its directions or broken tent poles, nothing is too much trouble
Look forward to next year
Highly recommend this site.

This is a really lovely site. The facilities are spotlessly clean and very well maintained. The on site shop is well stocked with a great selection of very reasonably priced essential items and pocket money toys. The staff are extremely helpful and go out of their way to help in any way they can. The playground area is just right and all the children play really well together. There is only one way in and out of the site which is gated so you can relax knowing your children are safe. There is a lovely bit of wooded area for older children to play. Bank Holiday weekends there are breakfast baps at great prices which is a lovely little touch to wake up to. We have stayed at this site with our children many times now and have introduced the site to several friends and relatives. You will not be disappointed if you book up to syat here.

We have recently returned from this site. The owners were very helpful and welcoming. The area is lovely with plenty of places to visit, especially National Trust properties.
The toilets and showers were very clean.
The only 'but' is that the electricity was only 10amps and when I put our electric kettle on it blew the fuse and we had to ask the owners to sort it. They didn't mind, but I didn't like to keep asking, so I ended up putting our whistling kettle on the gas and watched how I used the electricity.

What a fantastic site
Booked this site with family as a stopover to Dover it was so easily accessible from the motorway
It is a lovely clean site Dave and Karen, the owners, were very friendly and accommodating. We wanted to leave our vans hitched up as we wanted an early getaway and they found us pitches that enabled us to do this. There was a little shop on site that was well stocked if they didn't have something you needed Dave made a note of it and would make sure he got it as soon as he was able to.
There was a little park for the children
It was only a five minute walk to the local pub with a good restaurant
As for the toilets and shower block it is the cleanest I have ever seen in the UK and always smelt very fresh
We will definitely be using this site again and would highly recommend it.

Clean and tidy site. Friendly team running site.
Clean shower block with plenty of hot water.
Indoor washing up facilities, and a laundry.
Second hand books in laundry room.
Small play area for kids.
Well stocked shop for essentials. Sausages and burgers from local butcher, delicious I might add.
Dead easy to find site, close to A20, M20, M26.
All major supermarkets within easy driving distance, plus local shops in Borough Green, not too far away.
Fresh bread and papers available to order.
What more can I say.
That's why we always come here.

Just spent a week at this lovely campsite. The site is very sheltered, we arrived the same day as Bertha(much overhyped but still fairly breezy!). The treetops at the top of the quarry were blowing around a fair bit but we were fine on the campsite. Good size pitch and fairly flat. Nice clean washrooms and very peaceful, yes you could hear the motorway but far enough away not to cause a problem(actually found it quite a good background noise if I woke up during the night).
Owners are lovely and you can order fresh bread and croissants for breakfast and pizza van on the Friday night was good.
Lots of things to do in the area, would definitely recommend

We used this site as it was only a couple of miles from where we purchased our new caravan, an ideal first time using the van.
The couple who own the site are so friendly and welcoming and are happy to lend advice or help if needed.
This is a lovely site, beautifully clean & tidy, lovely hot showers and washup facilities.
The children's play area being in the centre of the pitches meant that children can play & never be far away from the pitch.
Our children loved the walk through the woods surrounding the site, this is perfectly secure and great fun!
There is a well stocked shop on site, the pastries which we ordered for breakfast were delicious!
Even though this is very local to our home, we will certainly stay here again, its peaceful, friendly and very relaxing for a short break!

Spent one night here without electric, to enable us to get nearer to the M25 Dartford crossing to carry our journey onto another area the early the next day. Was pleased to find a vacancy for 1 night over the bank holiday weekend, plus we were allowed to turn up earlier than the 2pm arrival time. O
Not keen on being ushered onto our pitch by warden who cycles ahead of you, husband says it puts pressure on him when reversing the caravan into place. The warden seemed a bit OCD about patrolling the site on his cycle/4X4.
Too much noise from motorways nearby to stay for a holiday but ok for a stop off.
Showers ok but with only 2 of them in both mens and womans, plus with tents this seemed too few and a queue quickly formed.
Tried the pizza wagon out on the Friday, if you like soggy wet pizza's then go for it, we didn't eat it and should of took it back!
Expensive at £20 a night without electric but served it's purpose for us for the night.

Excellent site, we visited just for a night to test out our gear, and found a really peaceful well looked after site, that had spotless toilets/showers and a great little shop. The couple that run it are really friendly and helpful, its ideal for a relaxing break, there is a little park for smaller kids to play on, its secluded and secure but easy to get to. If you not wanting to cook there is a beefeater 5 minutes up the road. Will definitely be visiting again.
