Weekend Trip to Painters Farm Campsite

We’ve camped a lot in the past but this was our first trip with our little fella, and safe to say it was a total success. The campsite was lovely with some stunning sunsets. It had a pub and play park 5 minutes walk away and the washing facilities on site were clean and well looked after. The campsite is within an easy drive to Whitstable, a brill little seaside town, where we spent a day and close to Faversham which was a nice market town. There was also a massive Aldi less then 10mins drive away to stock up on anything the on site shop didn’t have. The owners were very helpful and all in all it was the perfect little trip.

Weekend Trip to Painters Farm Campsite

Fab friendly hardworking wardens & such a lovely campsite! We walked to Faversham, & when we returned later in the day we fired up the bbq & kept warm with the firepit, enjoyed the sunset & views of the cherry orchard. Toilets & showers were clean & water warm enough for me!. Appreciated the nearby field to walk dogs & the great pub within walking distance . Nothing not to like about Painters Farm, we would love to revisit!

Weekend Trip to Woolton Farm

We had a fabulous time at Woolton barn. The camp site is lovely, with (what looks like) 2 brand new toilets and 2 showers and a basic camp kitchen with water. The guy who checked us in couldn't have been more helpful and the setting is beautiful. Short walk to the train station and 1 stop into Canterbury, with plenty of walks nearby, means you can ditch the car if you wish, the food and the cider/wine at the barn are a definite plus.

Weekend Trip to Freedom Farm Camping

We loved staying at Freedom farm - really secluded away from all noise, and beautiful grounds! Helena and Duncan were so hospitable, checking in on us that we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Thank you so much!

Weekend Trip to Pigs in Blankets

Ideal location, short walk from the beach and Southwold town center. Great facilities. Toilets/showers are very nice and clean. The new bar and street food are welcome addition.

3 nights at Wardley Hill Campsite

Just as fantastic as last time! Great impeccably kept campsite

Weekend Trip to Laleham Camping Club

Great spot to camp with convenient and well maintained facilities! The hosts and staff have been helpful and friendly - i’d highly recommend the place if you’re in or around London. Family atmosphere and amazing value for money.

1 night at Cattlestone Farm Adult Only

Beautiful campsite, easy to get in and out, will return :)

Weekend Trip to Cattlestone Farm Adult Only

Lovely site, super welcoming and ideal location. Hot showers, proper loos but no other distractions from the simple basics of nature, big skies and peace!

Weekend Trip to Wardley Hill Campsite

Lovely site with everything you need. There are a variety of pitch areas, some in more open field, some sheltered by trees and some in the woodland area. Some of the pitches in the open field are a little close together so pick a quieter weekend or arrive early if you’re after more privacy. This was in spring when the grassy meadow sections were still short though. Washing drum fire pits were brilliant. Showers decent and owners very friendly.

The site has good TV reception for relaxing indoors on damp or chilly days. The popular village of Westleton (10 minutes’ drive) has a village store, a farm shop, a garage and 2 pubs; and if you fancy a change from cooking, there is also a nice pub and a tearoom, in the Darsham village area (only 5 minutes drive or a 30 minute walk away through some lovely fields).

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.

Scenic dog-friendly site across the road from a 15th-century pub with a stunning view of the hills Five minutes drive Cotswolds in an area of outstanding beauty in a rural setting 20 minutes drive from Cheltenham -a great place to relax and enjoy the open countryside Available tent pitch for hire 27a2 staying in own canvas/fabric tent not provided No camp fires allowed but small gaz cooker ok if contained/monitored by an adult for cooking only no litter no nuisance This delightful little plot is the last one we have here at this location and is much sought after. If you are hunting down a getaway near the Cotswolds and access to a high-quality pub grub and hill views are quite high on your priorities, then Hobnails View is here to deliver. The site is only five minutes’ drive from the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and one of the most splendid parts? IThe pub serves good quality food with a big beer garden, kids’ play area, real ales The pub serves quality food and has a lovely fire place to relax and enjoy a pint or two and can certinly reccomend it. Unfortunately it doesn't offer any accommodation so if you want to visit the Cotswolds often you may wish to condsider hiring or buying your own little peice of land opposite to pitch up on at your leisure and enjoy a peaceful getaway and own your own countryside retreat, get in touch if you want to buy one optional. This land provides seasonal hire of a rural grassland non electric pitch situated within one of the site’s plots. Staying opposite to the long-established, Grade II-listed pub is certainly a big perk to staying down here. The pub serves traditional pub grub as well as light lunches from only a tenner, so you’ll have somewhere nice to eat out. Another big pull is the scenery over the surrounding hills. The site is gated There no need to speak to the owner jst meet online There’s parking at the pub and then it’s a short walk to reach the land. There’s a handy bus stop on the road, just behind the hedge, if you’d like to leave the car behind while you set about exploring. The local village is pretty nearby cities within driving distance include Cheltenham (20 minutes’ drive), Bristol ( 1 hour ) and west Oxford 1 hour Make your holiday memories at Hobnails View! x

Church Farm

10 units · Tents1 acre · Beccles, Suffolk, East Anglia

This is a small campsite in a peaceful location with 10 pitches and a glamping chalet. A gently south-sloping field set amongs trees next to a large pond. We are located just outside Redisham - a small village in a rural setting equidistant from the towns of Beccles and Halesworth, 4-5 miles away; a 15 minute walk from Brampton railway station and a mile from route 1 of the national cycle network. The coast is about 9 miles away to the East, with a choice of seaside towns and areas of outstanding natural beauty to visit and the Broads National Park is 5 miles to the North. There are barn owls and bats nesting nearby, slow worms, great crested newts and much more; it is our main goal to encourage as much biodiversity as possible. The shared facilities are 'off-grid' compost loos and wood-fired hot water showers using wood from the 1000 plus trees we have planted. Lighting and wifi are powered by solar panels. The glamping chalet has two king-size beds with ground floor and mezzanine bedrooms: it sleeps four comfortably and up to six at a pinch. It has solar lighting and USB sockets. We have tent pitches for up to about 20 campers. There is a no dogs policy on the campsite.

Campsites with WiFi in Kent Downs AONB guide

Overview

Sloping farmlands, ancient woodlands, and lush wetlands make up the vast landscapes of the Kent Downs. Kent isn’t called the ‘Garden of England’ for nothing—visit the downs in spring to stroll through bluebell woods and daffodil meadows, in summer when wildflowers blanket the hilltops, or in autumn to admire the changing foliage. Miles of hiking, cycling, and horseback riding trails await outdoor adventurers, and campers have options year-round. Camp out in a tipi or pitch your tent by the beachside in summer, then cozy up in a heated glamping hut when the weather turns.

Where to go

North-West Downs and the Surrey Hills

The northern borders of the Kent Downs lie right on the outskirts of London, making it a popular choice for day-trippers. Enjoy rambling country walks around Sevenoaks, visit the Knole deer park, and stroll through the orchards of Plaxtol. For long-distance hikers, the North Downs Way national trail runs west into the Surrey Hills AONB.

Medway

North of Maidstone, the River Medway winds its way north to the coast, and the downs give way to lush marshlands. Set sail on a river cruise, discover the hometowns of Charles Dickens in Rochester and Chatham, or go bird-watching along the Thames Estuary at Northward Hill. To the east, seafront campsites and blue-flag beaches dot the shores of the Isle of Shetty.

Central Downs and the North Coast

The Kent Downs AONB has hikes to suit all levels. Explore ancient woodlands and Iron Age ruins in the White Horse Country Park, walk the valleys of the Devil's Kneading Trough, or stroll among the wildflowers in Perry Wood. Camp out in the hills and enjoy day trips to Kent attractions such as Canterbury Cathedral and Leeds Castle.

Kent’s South Coast

Few natural landmarks are as iconic as the White Cliffs of Dover, and a walk along the famous sea cliffs is a must if you’re visiting the south coast. Afterward, cycle along the Royal Military Canal, stroll along the beach at Folkestone, and choose a campsite with a sea view. Further south, it’s an easy detour to explore the Romney Marshes, a favorite among bird-watchers.
