 Just back from a great weekend here after meeting up with friends. What a gem of a site. The grass is lush and green and well kept, and we pitched in amongst the cherry trees.
The site is tucked away at the end of a single track road, but easily accessible. The weather could have been kinder but you can't do much about that.
Fortunately the ground is well drained so not too much mud when wet. It is a lovely and quiet place and the toilet and showers were spotless. Hot water cost's 20p and 40p for about 5-6 minutes.
The washing up room is well stocked with cloths, and there was even soap powder for the washing machine, which was coin controlled. Lorraine, the site manager is so helpful and so friendly.
Faversham town is only two miles away with a busy town centre and supermarket. Just down the road is Brogdale farm, with a little market area of specialist shops, and home to the National collections of fruit.
All in all a 'perfick just perfick'' place to stay.

Just back from an overnight stay at Painter's Farm having intended to stay nearby at a site which proved just too badly signed for us to find at all.
As has been said previously, the site is in an orchard, surrounded by further orchards, and in a pretty village not far from the national fruit farm at Brogdale. Very pretty! The site is flat and grassy, very well looked after and the toilet and shower block were clean and more than adequate for us with the only tent on the field of ten or so caravans.
We didn't have to pay for a shower and the site rules were displayed clearly but not overly enforced. The dogs trotted around off lead around their owners' pitches but these were so far apart for it not to matter. The site manager was extremely helpful and very friendly.
There were no children here when we visited - bliss!
Overall, a fantastic little site for adults who enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside, long countryside walks and good pubs serving locally sourced food.

Nice site set in a lovely location.
Site wardens were very nice and helpful.
Site reminds me of sites we visited as kids not much has changed in years toilet blocks are old fashioned but usable felt very nostalgic there.
Nice pub across the road (the Alma) does a great traditional roast.
Surrounding area worth a visit Faversham, Whitstable, Canterbury all a short car journey away. And the site is dog friendly. Will be going back

My wife and are new to caravaning but we stayed on the site for 2 days. We must say it was so peaceful, the site and the toilets were clean and everyone is so friendly. We were able to get to the supermarkets which were only a 10 min drive away with no problems at all. Also taking our little dog with us was great, there was no charge for him, and the dog walk was clean and a pleasure to walk. What made us happy was that after telling maria that my wife has back troubles she put us near to everything that we needed. We will be going back b4 the season ends and also looking forward to next year.

In agreement with all the comments below, a lovely site, very idyllic and clean. Great location to explore the surrounding countryside. We were at the very back of the site and could hear the motorway all through the night which was mildly disturbing.
Site warden was accommodating but we were met with a list of rules of the campsite which was a little unwelcoming. Reason probably being because we had quite a few children in our party and there were no ball games, no frisbees, no kite flying, no tree climbing. I can understand the reasoning as it is not a huge site and if I had read here beforehand would have been aware that it wasn't overly child friendly. Its a bit of a mission to get 6 kids between the ages of 3 and 10 to just sit round the campfire all night and not want to play. I think they would be better off making it an adult only site.
The 20p for the showers was not a problem, you got plenty of time for your money and they were hot. The washing up situation was diabolical though. You got nothing for your 10p, it trickled out so slowly it would have taken hours to fill the sink and it was stone cold, I think I felt it luke warm for about 30 seconds. We quickly gave up using the utility room and just boiled pans of hot water up and washed up in a bowl. This was my only real gripe about the site as hot water is a basic facility for hygiene purposes, especially for hand washing after the toilet. With 6 kids there were many trips.

We stayed at the site for 3 nights, the site is a good size not too big, there are fruit trees scattered around the site, main cherries, so during the summer months there is a lot of bird activity, we we liked.
The lady who is standing in for the owner this year was very helpful and also very nice, the showers and toilet block were very clean, as you may of read about the coin slots for the showers mostly negative I add but I thought it was a good idea as they were always empty.
I know there is not a lot in local area except the pub, which was great for meals. You could also get some supplies from the pub also. We personally loved the site and will be going back very soon

Arrived at the farm at about 11.30 where Lorraine showed us to our pitch and was very helpful as this was only our 2nd outing in our motorhome. Within about half an hour we were set up and drinking coffee. The farm was flat and very peaceful(maybe a little too peaceful for my wife).
Toilets and showers very clean. The site is situated amongst some very nice tasting plum trees. At about 2 o'clock we asked Lorraine how long it would take us to walk to the nearest shop and she said about 50 mins.It was only tabasco sauce that we had forgotten and she said we could have hers (nice gesture).
So instead of walking to the shop we walked to the Alma pub instead a much better idea I thought.The wife had diet coke and I had a nice pint of dark mild. We sat in the beer garden and watched the chickens running around.
In the evening we sat outside the motorhome with a couple of beers and a drop of vodka and watched the sunset over the orchard.
The next morning Lorraine came over to us to see if we wanted anything at the supermarket. We have now purchased a seasonal tourer but if we ever went travelling again would pay this great little site another visit.

Spent a night here on a checkout run with our camper.
Very nice, level site, attractive amongst the fruit trees. Although only a couple of miles from the town it feels in the middle of the countryside. Friendly and helpful warden who made sure we were happy with our pitch.
As noted in other reviews, the showers require 20p, a common occurrence on other sites.
The downside for us was the need for many 10p to obtain hot water for personal washing and dishes. The amount of hot water obtained for 10p was not really adequate for washing up after an evening meal for just two people and was very, very slow running.
In comparison with many other sites that we have visited, we felt that the £15 charge should have covered hot water for washing and washing up.
Pity, as it detracts from an otherwise lovely site

Lovely site. Very easy to get to from M2. This was only our second trip with a big van and we managed! We accessed the site up a steepish hill but there seemed to be an alternative route should this concern you (give site a call to check). Petrol station nearby on A2 - sells LPG too.
Quiet, very relaxing and chilled out. Site is by a pretty farm house, set in orchards. There were hardly any children there at the time. The children's play area was opposite a lovely little pub (The Alma) within walking distance (5 mins).
Friendly owner - very relaxed and helpful. We had a problem with our van which delayed us (then bad traffic!). We called and the owner was very accommodating. Showers 20p - got ample time (had time left in fact and I usually take ages!) and water temp was great. Showers/toilets very clean.
Would defo return to this site and recommend it for a chilled, relaxing break.

The site is quite near the motorway so it's easy to reach from London but far enough from the M3 that you don't actually hear it.
The local pub, The Alma, is brilliant with friendly staff ad regulars and excellent beer (Shepherd Neame) and food available.
The site itself is small and peaceful but very well run and tidy (the showers and toilets were spotless). The price for a tent is very good value for money.
I would definitely stay here again.
