 This campsite is a real gem! Have been here 3 times now and will keep coming back. Ok so the facilities are basic but for a 3 night trip they are perfectly adequate.

Would recommend taking your own toilet roll as by evening the toilets have usually ran out (especially the ladies!) We always try to camp so we have the view over the sea.

What a view to wake up too! The staff are really lovely and happy to stop to have a chat and being able to have a fire is a big bonus on this site.

Overall I can not recommend this site enough for those of you that want to get away from it all for a few days!

 Lovely site overlooking the sea. We stayed the May day BH weekend, and although they said the site was full, it didn't feel crowded at all.

The site covers a large area; there is a toilet/shower block in the middle, EHU at the top of the site. Pitches towards the top of the field get sea views, those at the bottom are more sheltered.

In the middle it is more sloping, but because people avoid pitching here, it makes it more spread out. A gate at the bottom of the site provides access to a pebble beach, and it is a short walk to a sea-side pub and the pretty village.

Toilets were fine, showers not as good as the doors didn't lock on all of them and the water wasn't very hot. No shop on site, but not far to Deal where there are supermarkets, and small shop in village. I think we would probably return because of the great location.

 Got lost looking for the site as didn't realise it was a scout camp. But welcomed by the guys who run the place and told to pitch up anywhere,

The site is large and we had a corner of the campsite to ourselves, overlooking the beach area. No shop on site but little shop in village 5 min walk away along with 3 decent pubs in the village and all very friendly.

The showers are lovely and warm in the Mens section ie Disabled showers etc.

Only slight problem was with the local friendly fox sniffing around. Would go back again.

 This place is great. Second visit, first since our little boy (nearly 2) has been around. Perfect location, with sea views for much of the site. Clean facilities, friendly staff, good price too. Camp fires in converted washing machine drums work great and keep you warm when the sun goes down.

Three pubs in town. Zetland Arms don't do child portions, but are child friendly. Nearest proper shops are in Deal (Sainsbury's, 3 miles). Local garage has a spar, pretty good selection considering, useful if you miss sainsbury's!

Our littlun could run around this huge site perfectly safely, which he loved. As the site is very open, you can always keep an eye on them.

Only thing is the showers (only 4) struggle for warm water when over-used. If you want a hot shower, get up really early!

 Highly recommended. Great wide space where you can choose seclusion near the woods or great view over sea to France. Pathway down to the beach is excellent for access and cycling along the coast to Deal and beautiful Sandwich Bay. Fire baskets make an evening and staff very sweet. I not sure I would have liked it if a huge scout group had been there but the site is so big that would probably not be a problem. Showers etc basic and fine.

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.

 We stayed for one night, and can echo what everybody else has said, the staff were very friendly and welcoming, and helpful.

It's a big site and we were probably a hundred yards away from the next tent so it was quiet and private. The toilet block was clean. You can collect firewood from the surrounding woodland.

This was my children's first night camping and they want to go again, being able to have a fire had a lot to do with my choice to stay here and would definitely stay again.

 Arrived early afternoon. Made welcome by the guys in the office, very helpful with information on the area. Had a lovely pitch with great views of the English Channel and the ferries coming in and out of Dover.

Toilet block was kept clean, showers the same. Very good value for money, just £5 per person, per night! Good location to go into Deal, where you will find the supermarkets and a lovely town. There is a small shop in the village of Walmer which is 5 minutes walk approx from the site.

There are some lovely walks to take near the camp site. There is an old Rifle Range along the bottom of the cliffs which is very interesting. Beaches are lovely and quiet and don't seem to get too busy!

You can go fishing off Deal Pier for £4.50 per rod, and there is a cafe on the pier to keep you refreshed with Tea! All in all an ideal place for camping for however many nights you wish to do so for! Would recommend this site to anyone who enjoys camping!

Reviewer: Squirrelcatcher 7 reviews from this member

 This was a last minute booking, but they still accommodated us. On arrival, the staff were friendly and welcoming.The site is set on the top of a cliff with a very gentle dip towards the sea, resulting in a fantastic view of the Channel from your tent. The area is roomy, clean and very pleasant with plenty of greenery and child friendly. The toilet block was clean and well maintained. The fire boxes are a novel but brilliant addition. A great break, made all the better by a good campsite.

 We gave the site a try for a quick weekend break as it's only 15 miles from home. What a nice surprise! the staff are very friendly and helpful and the site is superb. It's sheer size ensures you will never feel hemmed in and the views are awesome. We sampled both the beach and coastal walks in our short stay and found both lovely. The toilets and showers are basic but were clean and not busy at all during our time here. The Kings head pub is only a short walk away and serves good food. This is our type of site and we are already planning a large family group trip here in 2011 in addition to more weekend visits for us.

Reviewer: Katiespitfire 3 reviews from this member

 Brilliant site, we used their indoor accommodation for 6 nights and the staff are just the best we've ever come across. We had some problems with noisy neighbours (Bank Holiday) and it was dealt with efficiently and they also offered us a partial refund.

Have only dropped them a star on facilities as the showers were a bit 'drippy' but it really wasn't a problem. Also like that they encourage everyone to recycle! Brilliant.

Clean,easy to find, gorgeous views.Big supermarket in Deal only 10 mins drive, the pub in the village (Kings Head) was really friendly with a good range of real ales.

Will definitely visit again and have recommended it already.
