Pleasant site a mile or so from town centre so quite a walk. Unable to get a taxi back so be careful as it’s an uphill walk back.
Not able to book which was strange and site became very busy and probably too full. Some units were far too close to each other creating limited pitch space especially given its £24 a night. Pitches are also very unlevel so don’t forget your chocks to level up.
Showers were inadequate not sufficient enough to wash and luke warm for duration of the stay. This might be ok in summer but paying guests are still entitled to a decent daily wash.
There is a dog walk over the road and a huge Tesco 2 minutes down the road on foot.
This is a good site for access to Whitstable and although the owner is very nice and accommodating it could be run more efficiently.

Lovely small well kept camp site, very clean toilets and showers. Owners really nice and friendly couldn't do enough for you. Easy walk into Whitstable town and a Tesco very close to site.
There is a good local bus service that enables you to travel along the coast and into Canterbury on day tickets.

Just returned from a 4 night stay at primrose cottage caravan site
On arrival we met the owner Brian who was very welcoming & friendly.
He helped us set up our caravan as we are newbies.
The site was very clean & tidy as are the shower blocks.
Tesco is just 5 mins to walk.
We hope to go back next year.

We have just come back from a 5 day break staying on this lovely campsite. My husband had been in hospital with gastroenteritis 3 weeks earlier, so we thought we could go somewhere local for a break.
He wasn't too well when we were there, but every morning, the manager Brian always asked if there was anything he could do, even said he would drive us back if needed.
You couldn't find a nicer person, so I just want to say thank you so much as our stay at you park was made nicer because of your friendliness. I would recommend to stay here to all my friends.

Just returned from a short stay to do some cycling in the local area. If you want to do the Crab and Winkle Way or the Oyster Bay trail this site is perfectly located.
Brian the owner is a real salt of the earth type who makes you feel so welcome and relaxed.
In my opinion this site is an absolute gem.

Been coming to Primrose cottage for the last three years mainly long weekends and Brian is always happy to accommodate if at all possible. This is a 'Darling Buds of May' site so do not expect regimented hard standing 'Caravan Club' type pitches, but what you will get is a lovely laid back peaceful site looking out over the Thames estuary (albiet in the distance) with some of the most amazing sunsets.
A large Tesco superstore is just 5 minutes walk away (But Brian can offer you fresh eggs and essentials from his small shop).
The toilets are always clean and tidy (do not expect 5 star heated loo's with radio 2 playing) you are there because you like the tranquil setting and go away feeling 'yes that was a good couple of day's away' and you will return.
In the time we have been frequenting Primrose Cottage we have seen many returning families.
Whitstable is about a 25 minute walk (there is a hill) but we usually get a taxi (around £5. It would probably cost you that in parking charges)
There is no play area for children but is safe enough for them to ride bikes around and play together.
Looking forward to the next visit.

Clean small site, Brian is very friendly and helpful. Very relaxed atmosphere, happy for you to extend your visit is you want to and no pressure about money.
It says views of the sea, we couldn't see it but didn't really matter. Also, it says flat pitches but some are on a slight slope. Took our telescope as I was hoping to stargaze, unfortunately site is on a main road and next to a housing estate so not very dark! I must say, even though its next to a main road the noise isn't to bad, and having a Tesco in walking distance was very handy!
Overall a pleasant site, showers and toilets always clean and close to a few beaches and places to visit. We had a lovely time, thank you :-)

Just back from a weekend, on a last minute decision to camp for the weekend. We called the site, the owner sounded very nice and said he didn't take bookings, so just roll on up and he would put us on his site, no problem.
On arrival, the owner was very laid back said we could pick our choice of pitches, took a real interest in our 42 year old VW camper and told us all about himself being very interesting and asking us to see his restored Morris Minor.
The campsite was very friendly clientele, with great clean facilities, hot shower, hot water to wash dishes etc. Well looked after and would highly recommend for a small, quiet friendly site.
On our departure, our VDub decided not to fire up, so the owner very kindly assisted us with his tractor first of all trying to jump start and then insisted on towing us with the tractor to get us a jump start. We were so grateful for his kindness and off we went. A genuine nice guy.
We will be back.
The little shop he runs has essentials, milk, drinks, fresh eggs, t bags etc. Right next door a 24 hour Tesco.
We ate at the Monument, a pub nearby, about 20 mins walk, good food, reasonable prices.

Had a brilliant visit to Primrose Cottage, cannot fault this site in any way. The toilet/shower block are kept immaculately clean.
The site is a just a 15 minute walk away from Whitstable centre and there is a Tesco only two minutes away for any shopping needed.
The campsite is peaceful and quiet and I would not hesitate to recommend it, we will definitely go back.

Stayed for one night due to the high score and previous reviews on here.
I have to agree with all the other comments about the owner, he's really friendly and welcoming. No rush to check in (which is signing your name in their book) and an offer of home grown tomatoes and apples.
Several previous reviews did mention road noise. I seriously underestimated their comments. Understandably it does depend on the level of road noise you are used to, so personally for me, living in a very rural area, the proximity of the busy road was an issue and I wouldn't visit that site again.
There were plenty of toilets and showers in not the most modern of blocks. Although the floors and ceramics were obviously cleaned regularly, there were some serious cobwebs around the ceilings and light fittings that hadn't just formed overnight. Again, personal preference but I prefer to not dodge spider webs and cobwebs as thick as silk when needing to go.
Other reviews have mentioned a sea view. We walked around the site on a lovely sunny day with good visibility and could see no sea. Please don't imagine sitting by your unit watching the boats in the distance.
There is a 24 hr tesco next door which is handy. The walk into town takes about 20 mins. Although we walked back several of the other campers said they needed to get a taxi as it is up a fairly steep hill.
Whitstable was lovely as other reviews have mentioned.
