I love this site - the facilities are spotless, open fires are allowed - positively encouraged in fact because fire pits are provided on each site and wood is available. And dogs are welcome.
Sarah, the Farm Manager, is very friendly and always on hand to assist (even when there is a major problem with a tap that had sprung a leak as there was this last weekend). The presence of the chickens on the site make it really feel like a working farm - as indeed it is.
A very smart new washing up area has relieved some of the pressure on the old converted barn that houses the wash rooms - it would be great if one of the other outbuildings was now used for more toilets and showers.
This is always high on my list of campsites - I stay in other places but always seem to return here.
Just returned from four days in the sunshine at this wonderful site. Cannot praise too highly the site manager Sarah who works her socks off for the campers. She was thoughtful about the pitch she offered us given that we had a four month old puppy with us and it proved just right.
She obviously runs a tight ship and given it's a relatively small site the facilities are the best I've seen, only perhaps the addition of another shower per sex (there's one each at mo) might make it even better.
There are two toilets and washbasins per sex, all kept very clean and well stocked with the essentials. In a separate converted barn there are four big stainless steel washing up sinks with double drainers and seemingly limitless hot water, once again all kept spotless.
There are a further two single drainer sinks in the toilet block together with a microwave and fridge/freezer which proved very handy in the heatwave. And when I was walking back to my tent with warm beer having been unable to fit it in the communal fridge I happened to bump in to Sarah who offered to put it in her own fridge. Needless to say this earned my undying gratitude!
The fire pits are a lovely addition and we found two sacks of logs at £6 a piece lasted us the four nights we were there. As others have said there is traffic noise from the nearby road but coming from London where we're subjected to the background roar 24/7 it didn't bother me. In any case it was pretty much drowned out by the chatter of large community of house sparrows nesting in a nearby building which as a bird lover I personally found delightful.
We didn't do much but walk, using the many local paths in the area so can't comment on nearby attractions. However, I would definitely count this as the best campsite I have visited and would have no hesitation going back again. Highly recommended
We had chosen this campsite based on previous reviews and we have to say it didn't disappoint. We had gone away for a week and, unfortunately for us, picked the week with some of the most unpleasant weather we have ever seen for camping in!
The site is situated on a hill so even though the rain was heavy at times, the site wasn't overly boggy because of it. It was relatively quiet throughout the day and even though it is under the direct path of planes flying into Gatwick, we tended not to notice them after we had gone to bed.
Our host Sarah was very welcoming and had pointed us to the best place to camp knowing that we had a young child with us. A fenced in area, sited close to the toilet block, which we had to ourselves and were able to keep track of our toddler as he ran round.
We had paid for an electric hookup but found our cable wasn't long enough, no problem though as Sarah provided an extension for us when we returned to the camp after going shopping, Sarah having also provided directions to the closest supermarket in Tunbridge Wells.
The facilities were more than adequate, with the showers providing as much hot water as you needed at no additional cost and all the areas being kept clean. Its nice to be at a campsite that allows camp fires and even provides brick pits nearby in which to have them, even if the rain meant we couldn't use it!
All in all we found this a great site to visit and certainly worth it. We hope we might return in the future but for us to take some better weather with us!
Our second time visiting this beautiful campsite. Both times we have had the most relaxing, chilled out time camping, Facilities are super clean & more than adequate, showers super hot & Sarah (the boss!) does her utmost to make your stay the best possible.
This place (quite rightly) gets booked up early so its best to book in advance to avoid disappointment - & trust me you won't be!
My kids (girl -4, boy - 8 ) love this site, Sarah gave them freshly hatched quails eggs which we cooked up for breakfast, the kids held rabbits, guinea pigs & learnt so much from Sarah, nothing was too much trouble!
My folks stayed at the B&B on the farmhouse & have left a raving review on trip advisor - I have never ever been in a room so clean & my Dad didn't even need seconds when he came over after breakfast!
Ideal place to stay camping & to invite those that don't 'get' camping too!
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. Five minutes' drive from Paddock Wood station and trains to London Find out more here
My annual visit with my elderly collie went too quickly, I was given a choice of pitches but opted for the windier one as I used my car as a windbreak. No queuing for facilities which were kept clean. It seemed to be quieter than last year as I slept through road noise and planes. Manageress was very helpful. Gate security good. I was very tempted to add 2 rabbits to my menagerie - but resisted, only just!
Lovely campsite with good facilities, friendly owner. Safe environment for children and some pets / farm animals for them to see. There are a couple of fenced of areas which we were lucky to have one as I'm sure it helped with sheltering us from the strong winds. What I liked is that there is an electric gate so adds that extra bit of security to the campsite.
The only slight down side for me and this is because I'm a light sleeper is the main road which at times over night was noisy and just be aware that on occasions you are on the flight path for Gatwick.
Overall had a really enjoyable weekend and will definitely be visiting again - thanks.
We are a Dutch family and we love to visit Great Britain each spring. This year we stayed with our little campervan at the beautiful Manor Court Farm.
Sarah, the manageress let us choose our spot at the campsite but gave us helpful advise regarding the wind direction, because the weather could have been better….
We had a lovely time here, the scenery was stunning, we had a huge private pitch, the facilities were good, despite the weather we made a fire in the fire pit next to our campervan which our two girls (10 & 12) enjoyed a lot, we also enjoyed visiting the rabbits, chickens, turkey and Bubble and Squeak (the pigs) on the farm, and visited beautiful places nearby (Ightham mote was especially nice).
Sarah was very friendly and by chatting with her we noticed that she cares a great deal about the site and peoples enjoyment of it. She was more troubled by the noise of the occasional plane that flew over and the than we were. We felt almost at home and will certainly visit the campsite or the B&B (I heard you get the best breakfast ever!) again!
When I phoned a few days before the last weekend of September, there was only 1 pitch left – that’s how popular this site is. Expecting a possibly naff position, I was delighted with it, a single pitch but big enough for 2 tents, on the edge of a recently ploughed field that received the sun all day.
2 wooden chairs, a bench and a brick surrounded fire pit with a grate completed the pitch. Excellent views but nothing much to absorb the traffic noise from the A264, although it didn’t bother me.
Gatwick flight path is another negative but lack of town glow means many stars (and planes) can be seen on a clear night. Oh, and depending on your pitch location, the chickens and rooster can add to the noise early in the morning but hey, it’s a working farm.
Vehicular access is through a coded gate which prevents unauthorised “visitors. ”
Sarah the boss-lady is efficient but friendly and very helpful, and through various conversations I had with her obviously cares a great deal about the site and peoples enjoyment of it, also planning where best for campers to pitch.
There are various camping areas ranging from my 1 unit plot to a large field at the rear which easily caters for large groups. The emphasis is for a quiet and relaxing atmosphere so large noisy groups wanting to play music are best served by a couple of other camp sites nearby.
The facilities block is excellent with a microwave, fridge, washing machine and tumble drier (tokens) plus two large washing up sinks with plugs and hot water. Gents loos have 2 thrones and a shower (free) and 2 basins with hot water and anti-bac. Guessing the ladies have similar.
I checked at midday Sunday, loos clean and still had paper, and despite the site being full, I never had to queue for loos or washing up during my stay. Next to this block is the rubbish area, with segregated areas for paper, glass, cans etc.
Some good walks from the site including a mostly footpath route to Groombridge – the station café serves the best coffee I’ve ever had from a shack – but entails a short walk along the A264, quite dangerous as there are bends and no pavements.
Wood for the fire is £5 a large bag – not your usual polybag you get from a garage – bagged up by Sarah from a massive pile of wood in a shed. My second bag had too many huge logs for my liking but I have a small chopper….
Of the 12-odd sites I’ve visited this year, Manor Court stands out as the clear winner and I’m hoping to sneak in another visit before their end of October closure, although this probably means painting 10 fence panels before HID signs my release ticket.

We've just returned from a four night stay at Manor Court Farm. We picked this site based on these reviews and we were not disappointed.
There is a choice of areas for camping - several small fields around the farm buildings to suit up to three or four tents all with firepits and furniture.
These fields are well sheltered but suffer a little from road noise. The other area where we camped, is a larger more exposed field with room for maybe twelve tents (allowing ample space for each) and equipped with fire pits and seats. It is further away from the road and therefore quieter.
The facilities block containing two wc's, two sinks and a shower for each sex as well as wash up facilities a washing machine and tumbler drier (£1. 50 and 20p respectively) and a microwave and fridge. The showers are free and the block was kept spotless and fully equipped during our stay. None of the camping areas are far from the toilet block.
The farm is a working farm with chickens, a turkey, two pigs, hundreds of rabbits, several guinea pigs and an aviary. Sarah, the manageress is friendly and helpful and sells big bags of logs at £5. 00 each.
The farm is situated on high ground and is surrounded by lovely countryside, excellent for long walks and with many places of interest nearby. It is on the Gatwick flight path and some aircraft noise will be experienced.
There are abundant local farm shops, a Spar grocers and bakers in Groombridge (5 minutes drive) and Tunbridge Wells is only a 10 minute drive. There are two pubs locally, the Crown in Groombridge and the Chafford Arms in Fordingbridge. Both do good food.
We found this site excellent, in a good location and will be returning.
We spent a fabulous two nights here last weekend, in a small sectioned off part of the site by the main house and the cottage and oast.
We were within 20 seconds of the toilets and shower block which was brilliant for a last minute dash to the loo before bed.
We walked to Groombridge through the woods one day, which took about 3/4 of an hour, and went to a lovely pub called the Junction Inn, (right in the village not on the outskirts), very child friendly.
We had a small fire pit (brick built rectangle) with a grill on, and seats and tree trunk seats.
The site itself was spotless as were the loo's and washing up area. We are coming back in September so it shows how much we liked it!
So impressed with this site - just sad we haven't been able to book since, it's so popular. The lady that runs the place knows people will return if they've got plenty of space.
We had a lovely relaxing time. There was room for the children to play safely, with or without us - but by using their imagination and organising their own games. Much preferable to lots of climbing frames etc.
The firepits were great and the site overall was well kept without being regimental. Facilities simple but lovely and clean and never had to queue over a busy bank holiday weekend when the weather was superb.
Slight gripe was the resident bird life, including grumpy turkey, which drove all the dogs in our field berserk when it kept wandering amongst us. Keeping all gates closed essential here.
Lovely walks right through the gate - beautiful in the spring with the bluebells. Thoroughly recommended.
Our party consisted of 3 mums and 7 children between the ages of 3 and 9. We camped in the main camping field and as the pitches are not marked, we were allowed to pitch at the end of the field and had a huge area all to ourselves with our own fire pit. This field tends to be in the main for families.
Sarah does a great job of not packing everyone in and there are several other areas to camp in around the farm.
The rope swings, animals and walk (which took us 30-40 mintues) around the farm are fantastic for the kids and we all had a brilliant time. Logs are £5 per bag but the fire pit came with its own grill which was free and we used regularly.
The toilet block was always clean, being two sinks for washing up and two toilets and a shower in the ladies block. We rarely had to wait more than 5 minutes at peak time for the shower.
Having been to other campsites this is great value for money and we felt very relaxed and had perfect weather which is always a bonus. We will definitely return.
Lovely for the one night we stayed - me and two boys, aged 2 and 4.
Nice level site, pegs went in easily. You can pitch up next to a fire pit, which is actually a little brick built thing with a metal grille on top for cooking! Ours had an old tree trunk on its side which the boys enjoyed clambering on.
Facilities were clean, and the three of us fitted in the shower in the ladies.
Washing up sinks had a plug!
Owner very friendly, and farm is delightful, although there are areas the small people must stay out of.
Some road noise at night as the site is very high up and the sound from around does travel.
