Whitstable, England · 46 units · Tents, Motorhomes

Nestled beside the village of Painters Forstal, Faversham, Kent. Our two acre orchard site with grass pitches. The campsite lies within seventeen acres on the slope of The Kent Downs, a designated area of natural beauty. The Alma ale house at the edge of the farm serves Shepherds Neame and hot meals all year round. Two acre quiet cherry orchard site based around a Tudor Manor house 1547 that gives its name to our village. Surrounded by orchards and open countryside but within easy reach of Faversham, Whitstable and Canterbury. Pitches for tents, campervans, motorhomes and touring caravans with or without electric hook up on a level grassy site. Pets are welcome and a crew member is always around the reception or farm to help out. The Campsite is open from 1st march until 31st October. The local area is awash with things to do. Faversham once the busiest port in 17th century England for its wool trade has the longest complete medieval street in the country. A wealth of little shops, cafes and pubs as well as the country’s oldest family owned brewery Shepherd Neame. Whitstable sitting just along the coast, famed for its Oysters and Sunsets is a fun beachside community bustling in the summer months and hauntingly bleak in the winter ones. The World Heritage sites of Canterbury are just a fifteen minute trip away with all its well documented history and plentiful shops and eateries.

1 night at White Peak Camping

This is a good value, classic farm site in the heart of the Peak District. No extra charge for fire pits. Very friendly host. No showers, and toilets are clean but basic, ie, in a rough timber cabin. Only cold water. But I'm very happy with all of that and will be back.

Weekend Trip to Purple Badger Camping&Fishing Lakes

Loved this place, we wanted to stay longer! Everything was thoughtfully put together and the pitches felt private. It was lovely having access to barista coffee in the mornings, if we could get out of bed early enough :) For campers to know, the road alongside the property can be quite noisy at night. I enjoyed sitting in the barn and reading from the library, and met some lovely people. Mark was a nice host! Loved the chickens and the cats too.

What a great site to stay at. I pitched up later in the afternoon and was gone early in the morning, but the amenities were clean and tidy. Plenty of space to spread out so you are never too close to your neighbour. Will certainly be coming back to stay in the near future.

Weekend Trip to Plum Camping at White House Farm

Had a lovely night at Plum Camping - our second stay there. We love how quiet and peaceful it is, and yet so close to Norwich. You can watch the planes coming out of / flying into Norwich Airport without any disturbance from the noise. Plenty of birds and wildlife to see and hear, and space to roam around in a lovely flat field, with wild patches to break it up. The facilities are rustic, as you'd expected from a camping farm, but they're clean and well-maintained, with everything you could want for a basic camping trip - properly hot showers, toilets, washing up facilities, fridge and freezer, charging area, fire pits and wood. We were meant to stay 2 nights but had to leave a night early as our son was taken ill. But I'm sure we'll be back another time!

Weekend Trip to Woodlands Camping

We loved our weekend stay here. The site is really tucked away. We were in the clearing, adult only area - 6 massive pitches, extremely quiet, lots of birdsong (especially tawny owls at night). Lots of walks nearby. Other campers respectfully quiet. Compost loo’s (although trailer loo’s in operation when we went) rustic and hot showers, nestled in the hedge so could see all the blue tits whilst getting changed, which was lovely. Just our kind of place, all recycling and composting offered. If you want quiet, nature, walking, or cycling, no fuss, eco then this is for you.

We loved our stay. It was the most quiet night of sleep we’ve ever had whilst camping. We only heard nature sounds. We had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Clean toilets and warm shower were a big positive. Thanks for a great stay!

3 nights at Baystone Bank Farm Campsite

We stayed at your campsite for three nights and chose a pitch right next to the stream. We absolutely loved it! ❤️ The weather wasn’t on our side, but we actually spent all three days at the campsite without going anywhere, because we felt so comfortable and cosy there. The showers were great, and we really liked the little washing-up area everything was clean, convenient and well thought out. We had such a lovely and relaxing stay and will definitely come back again. We were honestly sad to leave! One thing we were pleasantly surprised about the campsite says there is no internet, but we actually had a really good 5G signal, so we had no problems staying connected at all. Thank you for such a lovely stay! We really enjoyed it. 😊

Great setting in a working farm surrounded by stunning scenery. Very basic set up but for the price and 1 night stay couldn't ask for more.

Plenty of shade from the sun by the river

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

This is great back to basics campsite. The loos were clean. There was a cute swing in a tree on site to have a go on and take pictures. Firepits were available to use for free and you can buy logs from the tractor if you’ve not bought any with you. I’ll definitely be back!
