 Nice site.
Consists of two large fields, both flat and well kept grass areas.
The toilet block was clean and tidy, if only a little dated.
There are only two showers and two toilets each block (mens and ladies).
The showers are push button type and the water only lasts 30 seconds. Some string was tied round one in the gents making the shower stay on. Very handy.
One of the ladies toilets was blocked and out of use leaving only one toilet for the entire site.
The biggest downside for us was the on site cafe.
It had been highly recommended and was one of the reasons we booked.
It is currently closed as the owner 'cant be bothered anymore' (her words).
It also is never going to be opened again.
It could also do with a kids play area, there is certainly the space.
Was it a good site - Yes
Would I go back - Maybe

Just come back from a 3 night stay.
Location is ok there is a small town a few minutes drive away with a Sainsbury’s and a spar etc.
Good points
The staff are very friendly
Nice hut with microwave and fridges
Electric barrier
Bad points
May well be on top of a nuke bunker or an air field as there is only 2' of soil then rock. Bent over 10 metal pegs and snapped or bent all my plastic pegs. We also had one of our canopy poles snap because the guy pegs came out of the thin layer of soil in the wind.
Only 2 showers per sex and you only get a dribble of water plus every one kept leaving the door open so was very cold in there plus there is no where to clean young kids.
Washing area is very exposed as all my stuff kept blowing away when washing.
The whole of the site is very exposed.
No play area for kids.
I don’t think we will stay here again we did use this site a few years ago and lost are tent then as well. We did not find out it was the same site till after we booked and the site still has all the same problems

Have stayed here several times, all staff very friendly and polite, full of knowledge of local area, we didn't use the cafe, so cannot comment! Other reviewers have complained about no play area!
The central part of the camping field is left clear so kids can play football, ball games and generally run about. So play area not needed!
Have never had any problems securing tent with pegs, do need more toilets and shower blocks, but the ones they have are always clean.
Hut with fridge, microwave and freezer is a great idea and current freezer is better than the one I have in my kitchen!
Not far from Lydd/New Romney for pubs or camber for beaches, excellent local fish n chip shops nearby ( try the Pilot Inn WOW )
Good sea fishing off Dungeness too!

We have just returned from our second visit to this site!
It is a perfect site for the family who want to do their own thing! The non-electric hook up fields layout has been changed and the pitches are bigger, which suited us as we used our 8 Man tent for the first time!
We seem to choose the times when there are fewer people camping and that is perfect for our family set up! The people who run the site are very friendly and as people who have only camped twice this was just what we wanted.
Camber Sands and Romney Sands offer two perfect days out. We preferred Romney Sands and would recommend a look as it is a much quieter quaint little stretch of sand.
The breakfast as last year was outstanding and if it is the one purchase of your stay YOU MUST TRY IT!
We are already looking at our next trips and Romney Farm is going to be on the list!
Thanks to all the staff who keep the site perfect, clean and a pleasure to stay at!

Great, friendly, and small site (our preferred type of site).
Was very quiet in the evening on camp, though there was a bit of traffic noise, in the distance.
Plenty of opportunities for walking, and access to take the dog out for a shorter walk early morning, and late at night.
It was great to have the opportunity to put items in the communal fridges (there's 2) and even though the site was full, there was space in these.
Only 2 ladies showers, so there tended to be a queues in the morning. And although the showers were lovely and warm the water cut out very frequently which was frustrating, I would say every 15 seconds or so, it wasn't very long (which results in it taking longer to shower!).
All communal areas were very clean, and well maintained. Very friendly site owners.
Others have mentioned that it was windy and it was, however we bought a wind break on the 2nd day and this made a huge difference. (To be honest we were camping in an open field near the New Forest the previous weekend and had the same problem with wind).
We drove (not far) to a different beach every day, which the children loved. Dungeness beach is stony but full of shells and fishermen, St Mary's Bay - quiet and sandy, great little bays for the children, and Camber Sands which of course is endless amounts of sand, but much more commercial.
We had visitors for a BBQ on the sat evening and this was no problem.
Great site, great location, would definitely visit again, in fact we tried to immediately rebook, but they were already full for the weekend we wanted.

We have just come back from spending 3 nights at Romney Farm. The site is clean and tidy. The staff very friendly. I like the way all tents, caravans etc are round the field leaving the middle free and open, so we were not to close to each other.
The pitch was a good size. The toilets and showers were clean and well kept. As we had our dog with us it was disappointing to see that there were not many beaches to take him on and ones that we could, we could not park due to the car parks being closed.
Being that there are sheep everywhere it was hard to find somewhere for the dog to run of the lead.
There was a field opposite the campsite which was the only walk we found we could do this. But on the whole had a lovely time.

We were there bank holiday weekend and I found the facilities totally lacking for the amount of people they allow on the site.
There were no where near enough showers per quantity of people on the site. There was no water pressure in the showers and they were only luke warm.
After having to queue for my first tepid dribble, I gave up and used the shower in the camper. The sizes of the pitches on the hook up site were only standard as per other sites we had visited over our 2 week stay in the UK.
Overall not a site we would use again while we are waiting to cross the channel home.

Just come back from our first camping trip ever. So was not too sure what to expect, but had a brilliant 3 days and 3 nights at Romney farm, made even better with 3 days of pure sunshine and not a drop of rain! Yay.
Owners were friendly and helpful and we had one of the best pitches on the site with lots of room.
Really nicely laid out, first field is for elecric hook up and second field without (brave people) Helpful things laid on free of charge was use of a microwave, fridge freezer and BBQ's which you could take to your pitch.
The toilets and showers were clean although one was out of order so slight wait during busy times. Cafe on site which we heard was great but didn't get time to use.
Lovely walks directly out the back of the top field and local beaches and shops not more than a few minuets in the car. All in all, clean and well maintained and trouble free camping - would def return again

My partner and I visited this site last weekend with our 8yr old son having read the reviews and were not disappointed.
The pitches were clearly marked out and we had lots of space and a picnic table (which was great as we couldn't fit our table in the car!).
The toilet/shower blocks are clean, the water hot. The fridge freezer and microwave are useful and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rules are quite strict with regard to children in pitch time (10pm) and noise levels.
It was a lovely quiet site. but I was filled with trepidation as we approached the site and saw not too far off a wind farm! And boy was it windy! During one of our nights it rained buckets and the wind blew the tent so flat I knew what it was like to be shrink-wrapped! We survived, the pegs held and the ground didn't get water logged.
I would definitely recommend this site for all its qualities and proximity to shops, beaches, nature reserves and attractions.

Very pleased with this site, clean with friendly helpful staff. All the pitches are round the edges of the field so it doesn't feel cramped even when full, the ground is hard though so plenty of rock pegs are recommended.
The fields seemed flat and level all over so good for pitching.
The area is prone to wind but the site is sheltered with high earth mounds or trees, despite high wind (40mph gusts) this weekend I didn't see a single tent get damaged, probably due as much to the firm ground holding pegs in well as the windbreaks.
We'll be visiting again.

Lydd is very flat, so there's no real shelter from the wind. The location is nice (2 miles from New Romney) and the facilities are excellent.
There's a nice butchers and green grocer in New Romney, as well as a sainsbury's (open 'til 8pm). The best beach (lydd on sea) is a few miles away with lovely sand.
There is a fridge-freezer on site and even a microwave for those that way inclined!
As mentioned before, the wind really gets into this place. Some mounds have been shaped around the campsite, but don't offer too much protection.
Not bad for kids (nothing on site, but sea side amd miniature railway close by).
I recommend it, but suggest checking how windy it's going to be first!

Have just returned from a 4 day stay at this site with 3 other families. We had a splendid time.
The site is flat with tall tree around the edges, the pitches were also around the edges and this left a lot of sap on our tent when we packed down. Despite feeling like its open to the elements it is sheltered and it needs to be with the winds coming through.
Showers are a little basic and not enough washing up sinks when the site is full. We often had to wait around for someone to finish.
We will be coming back as its idle for a weekend get a way.
Great beach at Camber sands too.

We had a great time at this campsite - the arrangement of the pitches around the perimeter of a large field worked really well. Children could play safely in the center space, while we sat back and watched the sun set with a glass of wine in hand, chatting to the neighbours. The facilities were clean and the breakfast cafe was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful and we would definitely recommend the location as a good base to explore the area. The only downside was the amount of traffic at night, due to workers at Lydd airport and Dungeness. Also the onshore breeze was strong at times. But apart from these minor issues, the campsite was great - we booked 3 nights, and ended up staying for 5!

Spent 3 nights here over the easter weekend, 2 adults and 3 kids in our 8 berth tent with EHU. Everyone we came into contact with from booking over the phone, to check in out out were friendly and welcoming! Pitches we allocated with timber posts to outline your pitch, very spacious and laid out around the edge of field so kids could run and play in centre. Non ehu field didn't have the posts but pitches were still allocated around edge of field and looked spacious. Ground was flat, did have a few problems with rocks and stones so literally couldn't get a few off our pegs in the ground, but not a major problem.
Well lit and clean shower, toilet and washing up sinks. Girls and boys, 2 toilets and two showers in the timber block for each sex and when it got busy they opened another shower and 2 toilets in the barn so never had to queue. Water was always warm, push button style shower, only annoying thing was the water didn't run for very long and had fixed shower heads so was a bit of nightmare trying to rinse my daughters hair and had to lift the 2 little ones up so I could do so and then keep pushing the button, but that was just my personal experience and they were always clean, warm and free!
Fridge and freezer available and a great cafe on site.
Close to some fab beach's, and the Romney marshes for pleasant walks. There was some road noise at night, but nothing that bothered us, the birds were louder! lol Only thing they could do with is maybe a few swings for kids to play on, as my girls did get bored sometimes. Overall though a lovely clean and friendly site, great value for money and would highly recommend to anyone, will be going back!

Nice clean site. Clean and hot showers that are cleaned every morning. Quiet site and flat. Bit windy on our stay, But still recommend the site if you are in the area.
Really great Fish n chip pub just up the road only 10 minutes from beach ( by car ).
Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Steam Railway worth a visit.
Worth mentioning that there are no stringent rules on site and everyone respected each others space.
Pitches are generous in size, Plenty of room for Caravan, awning and BBQ.
Dog friendly too, with a couple of walks close by.
