Reviewer: Brendavan 3 reviews from this member

 Lovely site. Very clean. The wardens were very welcoming. The traffic noise from the motorway which is quite close, but not visible from the site, seemed to disappear after a while and did not cause any problem during the night. The Eurostar also can be heard but does not run at night so that didn't cause any problem either.
The facilities are spotless. The only negative is no real dog walking facilities. All in all though a lovely site.

Reviewer: Di+Glyn_W 20 reviews from this member

 As others have said before, this site is exceptionally clean & tidy, but then that's to be expected with a new site. It's still a bit 'clinical' in appearance, but once the greenery has had a chance to bed in it will be a cracking little site.

We used the site to get the van out after the winter break, and spent 2 nights there. It is close to the M20 and main A20 runs just outside, but in all honesty the noise faded into the background after a short while.

Biggest bugbear for us was the lack of a dog walk. Best walk is turn left out of site, cross road to footpath & keep going to the garden centre - about 2 tenths of a mile. Just past that, turn right along road towards Bearsted Green, and a footpath is almost immediately on the right. Follow this through the fields, and it will take you to a small road - turn right and you walk back down to the main road, turn left for the site. Takes about 45 mins, but the site could do with something 'attached' to allow a quick leg stretch in safety.

Best 'eatery' is the Oak on the Green pub in Bearsted Green, but it's a drive, not walk, away. Alternatively, the Park Gate Inn is on the A20 - out of site, turn right along A20 towards Ashford, 3 or 4 mins drive from site on right hand side.

For a great day out, Leeds castle is walking distance away, but don't allow dogs in.

Facilities clean and warm, and wardens very friendly and helpful. Only 20 mins from our house, but will probably return as it's ideal for us to have a couple of days away with the kids!

Recommended - thoroughly.

Reviewer: Chewie 30 reviews from this member

 A nice clean CC site with the usual Club standard facilities. Excellent location for the Tunnel or Dover and also a good place from which to explore Kent. The waste/chemical/drinking water point must be the best I have ever come across and the site is small and cosy.

The staff were the usual highly helpful CC wardens and the security is good. There is a play area but not much else to do; we were meeting friends and fellow caravanners so our socialising meant we were busy all day and in the evenings but I'd imagine that it is a site that could quickly be boring. The nearest shops are a fair trek, but thanks to the nearby M20 everything in Kent is a short drive away, (however the road is noisy and the site is far from peaceful because of that). Leeds castle didn't allow dogs so our friends couldn't go, but Kent has many other attractions.

A nice site and possibly good for a stop over prior to going abroad, but I wouldn't want to stay for longer than a few days.

 What a fantastic site. My husband and I spent 3 nights in our touring caravan and really enjoyed ourselves. The site facilities are excellent, toilets and showers are very clean. The pitches are large and the staff are very helpful and welcoming. We spoke to other campers who all shared our views. We are looking forward to the next time we can visit. 


Date of Visit: July 2008 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Littlejack40 6 reviews from this member

 New CC site, taken over by them this year facilities very clean, however: Site opens direct onto very busy main road, with no footpath on its side and very overgrown path across this very busy road. Very noisy at night from main road and motorway which is only 200 yards away. No dog walk except down the main road, no dog bins.

No shops or other facilities within walking distance.

Site is very cramped. We parked on hardstanding with strip of grass behind, which turned out to be another row of pitches, which when used later were very close.

Also note Leeds Castle will not let dogs in even to their car park.

Probably our worst CC site experience.

OK for overnight Channel stop, otherwise best to give it a miss. 


Popular Choice in this Area

The Hop Farm Touring And Camping Park

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.

Reviewer: Charbil 15 reviews from this member

 Just returned from weekend stay, usual cc standards all new as only opened in July 08. Childrens play area in corner of site. All pitches are spacious with plenty of room for caravan awning and car
Nice and peaceful village about 25 mins walk away, 2 nice pubs the oak on the green does lovely food, try the steamer meat pud, very large and yummy.
Wardens very friendly and helpful would recommend and will be returning shortly

Reviewer: Chalky9 40 reviews from this member

 We stayed at Bearstead for one night en-route to the Tunnel. The Caravan Club had only opened the site 2 weeks earlier, so everything looked new and clean. The facilities are standard CC. There's a mixture of grass and hardstanding pitches, mostly level; there are some big full service pitches for RVs. Tents are not allowed.

There is little in the way of food or shopping within walking distance, the nearest being about 1.5 miles away. Another disappointment for us was that, despite the CC claiming 'dog walks nearby', the Wardens didn't know where they were and we couldn't find any.

Reviewer: Executioner 2 reviews from this member

 Nice clean site with toilet and shower block [cost 20p and could not adjust temp and were slow] with handy wash room. Playground very basic.
Site owners rather on fussy side when suited them, we had problem with particular family who would leave young children on own for hours at time and children caused trouble! believe they there all year! close to m20 access tunnel and ferries so alot people only stay 1 night. Places to visit leeds castle and maidstone all of medway towns. 


Date of Visit: August 2007 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Namreg 4 reviews from this member

 We stayed at Pine Lodge for three nights over the August bank holiday as we had a wedding to go to in Rochester on the Saturday.
 
Site is very easy to find, just off J8 M20 (good for finding the site, not so good for the noise levels). We found the site a little cramped, with the vans a little close to each other, and as another reviewer mentioned, the site is a strange mix of seasonal pitches, storage and tourers, all crammed in together.
 
The site is very well maintained though, with a beautiful flower display around the reception area - the owners obviously take a lot of care. Shop (reception) doesn't have much stock. Toilets/showers are very clean, with the showers having a separate benched area for getting dressed. Shower was very slow though, and the temperature is not adjustable. It also takes a minute for the hot water to come through, and as you pay 20p for 6 minutes, that can be a pain (I found 6 minutes more than adequate, but the wife spent 40p!). Staff/owners were very helpful and friendly.
 
Overall, ideal for a stopover, but I wouldn't recommend an extended stay

Reviewer: Cookie monstersara 4 reviews from this member

 We spent a weekend here and had a lovely time.
We were pitched near the play area which was great as our children are only 6 and 3.
The pitch was grass and could get a bit muddy if the weather was bad.
The children all seemed happy riding around on bikes and play area closed at 8pm.
The toilets and showers were always clean and staff were very friendly and helpful.
Have stayed a few times in July and August as is local to us and we liked the facilities and atmosphere and will be returning before season ends.
Also leeds castle is just down the road, you only pay an entrance fee once and you can visit as many times as you like for a year.
