 We have been visiting Romney Farm since its opening some years back. It has improved over the years and still retains its family atmosphere. Glyn and Kim work hard to maintain not only a good and clean site (the on site showers/toilets and washing up areas are cleaned twice a day and are spotless) but keep it a great place for children and adults alike.
There are plenty of nearby attractions, beaches etc. And some very nice and reasonanably priced eating places.
The addition of the Cafe this year has been a great help to many tent campers who have forgoten the essentials.
There are two supermarkets within walking distance in the town.
Fresh food can be bought on site to BBQ on the borrow/return units available with plenty of bench/seats to use if you are travelling light.
All in all a highly recommended site which if Glyn carries out the proposed winter works, extra hook ups for tents in the rear field,which is ideal for cyclists and backpackers, and re spacing in the first field,it will go from strength to strength.
Greatstone and Littlestone are nearby and enjoyed by the windsurfers, St Mary's Bay has the best sand around for the little ones without having to go into Dymchurch and the bright lights and all that entails.
No clubhouse is a bonus as nights are peaceful and after exploring the surrounding walks, there is a great one if you have dogs, most kids old and young are ready for bed.
Thanks again for a great stay and the weather was perfect!

Just returned from this lovely site. The pitch we had was tucked away in the corner but still had tons of room. We have a Cabanon Neptune TT and Espace, but had plenty of space around us. Picked this site from the previous reviews and was not disappointed. Toilet/shower block first class, always clean and never busy. All pitches are spaced very well apart, whether electric or not. Felt very relaxed here. A fair few people from the continent stopping for a few days before carrying on their journeys. Very friendly campers here and even friendlier owners. Could have stayed here all summer.
We have fallen in love with the Romney Marsh area. So much to do and see. We have a 2 year old, 4 year old and 11 year old, but found something for each and all, including mum and dad!
We can't promote this campsite and Kent, East Sussex area enough.
One last thing to mention. There is an excellent cafe which serves only the best cooked breakfast in the world! The sausages and bacon are locally sourced and were delicious.
Go and enjoy.

What a lovely, friendly site, run by Glyn and Kim who greeted us on our arrival. They were always there to help if needed.
We spent our 10 night summer holiday here and were very impressed.
Pitches were level and firm and held tent pegs securely. As you would expect on Romney Marsh it is a bit windy but Glyn kindly advised as to the best direction to pitch our tent.
Toilets and showers spotless and even when site was full we didn't have to wait.
We have been camping for the last 13 years and this is one of the best sites we have been to. Would highly recommend it to everyone.
Lots of good places to visit, and we agree the 5 mile trip to Doris's is well worth while.

Great site! Very peaceful and no large noisy groups, the site was quiet by 10pm. Small but good facilities and well maintained, one field with EHU and one without. The freezer and microwave were useful. Showers and toilets clean and never had queue. Owner very friendly and helpful. Need a car to access local amenities including shop but there is plenty to do in the local area, we were lucky with the weather and spent most of our time at the local sandy beaches. Site was easy to find and well sign posted.

Romney Farm is a very good site to visit. There is a pin number barrier at the entrance that gives you that added bit of security in and out. The toilet/shower facilities are very clean and well maintained. There are pot washing sinks available for people with tents.
I was impressed that they provided a room with fridges and freezers and a microwave for tent users without electric hook up, that certainly helped to keep food cold and fresh.
The camping area is divided into two areas, hook up and free camping. The sites were all numbered out for you and there was ample space between each pitch. The site is quite flat and the ground drains away very well after rain (we had one evening of heavy rain and you would of not known it afterwards)
A nice touch was the wooden picnic tables scattered around the pitches for use with the tents.
Although there are no entertainment facilities on site (which is just what I wanted) there is ample space for children and adults to play ball games etc. There was also a nice dog walking area for us to take the pooch to.
The site was just off the main road that leads to many towns nearby where you could find shops, pubs, take aways etc. Many people on site had their bikes with them as there are plenty of cycle routes around the area and lots of beaches to visit.
There is also a very good cafeteria on site that is open in the mornings and serves a fantastic breakfast.
It can get very windy on the site but as you are on the Romney Marsh area it is only to be expected but it certainly did not spoil the camping experience at all.

The campsite is kept very clean and is not too crowded with open space in the middle. The pitches are large, we stayed in the field with electric hook-ups and these are marked at the sides with small fences.
There is a summer house with Fridges and freezers which you can use as well as a microwave, also ball games and three bbqs.
The shower blocks are very clean, the ladies only has two toilets and two showers, and we did have to wait a couple of times for showers. An additional block was opened at busy times with one extra shower.(my girls would have liked a plug in the shower block for their hairdryers but that is teenagers for you!)
There is a cafe on site open in the morning until about 1.30 serving cooked breakfasts etc. And about 5 minutes away by car there is a Sainsburys as well as other shops in Romney.
The campsite is surrounded by fields and is nice and quiet but it was really windy while we were there and I am not sure if the area is generally like this as there is a wind-farm nearby.
Overall it was a lovely site and I would def. Recommend it.

Just got back from a 14 night stay at this site and quite honestly if you are looking for a peaceful retreat from the big noisy sites then this is for you.
The kids (3 of them) loved the large central part so they could play ball games, this was great as you can keep your eye on them at all times.
The toilet/shower block was spotless and seemed to be regularly cleaned.
The cafe was also spotlessly clean but slightly pricey.
The owners were very friendly and helpful but I understand they are selling up to retire.
There is plenty to do in the Kent area but it does require some travelling.
All in all a 10 out of 10 site.
The Rare Breeds Centre is a good day out if you have young children.

Great site in a great location. Split into two fields, one with EHU and one without. Camping is in marked pitches around the edges of the fields only, so doesn't feel crowded even when full at weekends. So plenty of space for games to be played without having anything hit your tent or car.
New shower/toilet blocks are kept spotless and extra ones are opened up for the weekend. No charge for showers with plenty of hot water, although having to press the timer tap every 10 seconds was a very minor nuisance.
It can get windy in this area due to being so flat and there is a bank around the tent field which does help, but there are some pitches that are outside of this protection. Ask Glynn when booking and I'm sure he will give you some advice.
Two fridges and two freezers are free to use, so nice chilled white wine then, and freezer blocks can be frozen free of charge.
Romney Farm is between Lydd and New Romney, (Sainsbury's is all of two miles away in New Romney), and is an excellent location for visiting all the interesting places from Dover to Hastings.
If you take bikes, there are some great rides along the coast, especially from St. Mary's Bay through to Dymchurch, and from Rye Harbour via the coastal path to Winchelsea Beach. You can virtually ride along the coast from Winchelsea Beach to Folkstone with a few forays onto the road.
For walkers there are also loads of places to go for a walk, Dungeness, (try The Pilot for a great lunch), being a favourite of ours.
Very nice cafe on site too, so if you fancy being lazy one morning they do a stonking breakfast. Open for lunches too.
Access to the site is via a keypad controlled barrier, (number changes weekly), so is more secure than most sites.
The owners are very friendly and helpful.

Had 3 very pleasant nights at the end of June in our tent. We opted for electric hookup but our allocated space was too far from the point. The owner very kindly lent us an extension cable with no charge. We also made use of the freezer for our iceblocks
New Romney is a great little town with local shops, pubs and a Sainsburys
We went to Camber Sands - what a lovely beach with lots of space - would def recommend if weather good enough! Plenty of other things to visit and do in area
Toilet/ shower facilities always spotless
The owner takes great pride in maintaining the site and whilst mowing stopped at each pitch to check everyone was OK - nice touch

Had a great week here. Very busy at weekends but pleasantly peaceful Sunday night to Friday afternoon. Only 3 washup sinks so you have to get your bowl in the queue. Extra toilet facilities open at weekends comprising 2 private washroom/toilets and one private shower/wash/loo.
Site owners really friendly. Fridge and microwave a great help for campers, Sainsbury's just 2 miles away in New Romney so daily shopping for prick and ping meals no trouble.
Plenty to do around the area, Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, RSPB sanctuary on Dungeness, Camber Sands beach (hairy when windy, we have Camber Sands in the car!) Rye is a delightful town. Will definitely be returning sometime.
If you are a real ale fan, ask Glynn the owner about 'Doris's' nuff said, this is a real specialists establishment and mustn't be spoiled.

We had a couple of nights here in June following a recommendation from a friend.
There's no facilities or play area for children but there's a couple of decent sized open areas to let them run around / play ball.
Most of the pitches are flat but some where on a slight incline.
There were a few picnic benches dotted around so we managed to use one of these which was a bonus. The shower block was always clean and even though there were only 2 showers per sex there was never a queue to use them.
There's one drinking water tap and that's in the middle of the touring field but it's on the way to the toilet block so that's OK. The tap seemed to leak so the hose was just left in a bucket of water and the surrounding area was quite boggy.
New Romney (small) town is nearby and has a decent selection of village type of shops, including a Sainsbury's for the essentials.
We visited the beach at St Marys Bay which is pretty good at low tide because the beach goes on a long way.
The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway is nearby and worth a visit if you have children that like small trains, or indeed if you're a train spotter yourself!
The owners were friendly and welcoming with plenty of advice on local places to visit and how to get there.
The free use of a fridge freezer was also handy for keeping our milk chilled and refreezing our ice packs.

We have just returned from this campsite, after my worst ever night camping. Though it is a nice site, & we shall probably return the whole experience was ruined by a group of students camped the other side of the hedge from us. I did complain to the site manager the following a.m who immediately had words with them, & they were quieter Saturday night.
Having said all that it is a nice site, though the camping field is open to the wind. They opened extra toilets & showers this weekend as the site was full.
We spent Saturday on the beach at Dymchurch, a perfect beach for children, & in the evening had a walk on Dungeness beach.

We have just returned from a weekend at this wonderful campsite and the children (aged 3 and 5) are asking if we can go again tomorrow.
The owners were very helpful, the campsite was very well maintained - lots of space for the children to play. The toilets were spotless. We made good use of the on-site fridge (again, lovely and clean). The cafe was brill (we were away with the in-laws so my husband and his dad treated themselves to a father's day full English breakfast which they raved about - us mum's had bacon sandwiches - delicious). We drove into dymchurch as the children love the fair there, and then we climbed the lighthouse at Dungeness (my son loves this and gets faster each time we go). We also had great fish and chips on the beach at littlestone.
The only downside was that we had to come home :(
Will definitely be back again very soon.

We stayed here for a couple of nights during the half-term week. There are two areas, one with electrical hook-ups and the other just for tents - about 20 - 24 pitches in each field. The facilities were really good. The toilet block was clean. Might get a bit busy if the site is full as there were just two toilets, showers and sinks in the mens (didn't venture into the ladies!).
There is a separate hut with large fridge and freezers available plus a microwave - ideal for ready meals from the local supermarket. Three washing up sinks under cover with hot and cold water.
We would definitely recommend the site to others and would consider going back.

What a friendly campsite - a family site with a good mix of tents and caravans. We have a huge trailer tent (Raclet Anatalia) and had plenty of space for that and the car.
The toilets and showers were spotless and the owners very friendly and accommodating. There is even a cafe on site. Be advised – book ahead – once it is full it is full.
The area is full of stuff to do, from RSPB reserves to the steam railway; pubs with good grub and the sea nearby. Historic Rye is worth a visit but there are too many things to mention really. We will be back!
