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.

The Barn is the perfect set up for me and my dog. We hiked in from Ashtead Station (under an hour) and just had time for a coffee before 3pm check in. Really lovely and welcoming cafe staff. Everything is provided on the campsite. firewood and charcoal via an honesty QR code, washing facilities, toilets were clean and flushing! We had an amazing relaxing evening by the fire watching the deers and foxes in the fields. Cafe opens 8 which was brilliant because I dropped my cowboy coffee in the fire. Caffeine secured! We found our new favourite place and will be regulars from now on. Felt like being in the wild whilst still in touching distance from London.

2 nights at The Nut Plat Retreat
This is the perfect little spot for a rustic couple of nights relaxing. This is my second year here. Mobile data is sketchy here so either do without the phone, or print a map for walks before you arrive.

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.

Weekend Trip to The Nut Plat Retreat
Wonderful stay at this rustic retreat! The hot tub was easy to use, super comfortable bed, and (very) nearby pub was delicious - even a free community curry night one evening. We were also able to charge our phones at the pub and send a quick text since the site didn't have sockets/cell service (not a bad thing just something to note)! Unlimited wood and quick responses from Duncan made this an extremely smooth-sailing glamping retreat! Extremely private-feeling as well. Will definitely return for another needed city escape :)

Weekend Trip to Little Fleece at Folly Farm
We had such a lovely stay here and genuinely enjoyed every minute. The outdoor fireplace area was one of our favourite parts, especially sitting by the fire in the evening, and the little table outside made it perfect for eating and relaxing. The hot tub was wonderful too.
What really stood out was how much care had gone into everything. We had everything we needed, and the homemade touches made it feel even more special: fresh bread, homemade biscuits, handmade soap and a lovely breakfast provided for us. Everything was clean, comfortable and very well thought out.
We were also really impressed by the kindness and care of our host. We felt very looked after from beginning to end. Such a peaceful, beautiful place and definitely somewhere we would happily stay again.

Pitches are well spaced out. Each have a fire pit and a QR code that you can use to order from them shop (I didn’t try it out). I don’t know if I was using the right toilets as there was only one block but no signs for anything else.
We were only there a night but would definitely come back.

We loved camping at Hook Farm Campsite. Facilities are basic but perfectly functional (including warm and clean showers), site is quiet and natural. The steep slopes are not ideal, as the mattress moves down while trying to sleep. It is however a great campsite with helpful and friendly staff and management.

We were impressed by The Barn KT9! Charlie was responsive and flexible, they had more facilities than we'd expected and it was a wonderful family friendly atmosphere. The cafe is a lovely addition to the facilities. The location feels very countryside, hard to believe that it is not that far from London! Would highly recommend it.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at KT9. The pitches are all lovely and well spaced-out, providing a really calm and quiet location. The amenities onsite are great both on pitches and the area. And highly recommend the coffee and honey mustard sausage rolls at the cafe!

I loved the peaceful setting of Cattlestone Farm. Looking out to the meadow in the day and the stars at night. The pitches are so nicely done with lots of space and the freedom to choose a pitch. I really loved the shower and loo setup - individual units with an outdoor-indoor feel. You are protected from the elements but the very top section (above head height) is open, giving lovely airflow and feeling like you’re showering outdoors but with nice hot water. A nice way to start to the day :)
I will definitely be back!

It’s a lovely place with nice tents and things to do for the kids. My little one is 3 years old and she loved the bell tent and the hammocks and badminton. The cafe is lovely too. We live in London and it was very easy to reach with public transport. Maybe bring some ear plugs because you will hear airplanes.
