Wonderful and peaceful. Not a building to be seen across the outstanding views of rolling hills for miles from the campfield. Friendly owners, and simple but clean facilities.

We loved staying at Rolling Fields. The tent was well equipped (kettle, toaster, fridge, three electrical sockets) and thoughtfully laid out, with proper (full sized) beds - one double and a single day bed. It was a home away from home. The play area was an instant success, with climbing frame and trampoline. The play tent was particularly admired.
The site was quiet, just is and people staying in the shepherd's hut, which was perfect.
The private bathroom was very welcome and elevated the glamping experience to new levels.
Each tent has a fire pit with two chairs and a sofa. We cooked on the 'Fire and Dine' fire pit and toasted marshmallows from the embers.
Sitting under the stars around a low fire made for a perfect stay.
I can't fault the place. It was a really great experience. We brought ourselves, clothes, food and torches - everything else we needed was provided.
We will be returning.

We love this place and have come here every year for the past 4 years. This time, we came with a group of friends and while some of us did glamping (which they said were amazing), my family stayed in our tent. The grounds were dry but not hard, and flat. It rained while we were camping but drainage must be good as it did not get muddy. Our kids enjoyed playing badminton (there's a net erected), swinging in the hammock, looking at the chickens and going up the tree house. The toilets are clean and there are hot showers! Alexandra is a great host, and responds quickly to queries. I love this place as it is not prescriptive (no grids as boundaries for your tent), not built up with concrete (wooden cubicles for toilets and showers), and that there are no cars driving through the campsite so no worries about our kids running around. It has such a lovely vibe. The noisiest thing at night were the nightingales!

Fleets Paddock is a peaceful rural idyll within easy reach of Canterbury as well as the beaches of Margate, Whitstable and Herne Bay. The setting is perfect - especially with younger children. There is a badminton net, clean flush toilets and an open air hot shower. We stayed in the Bell Tent this year which I can't recommend enough. Thank you to Alexandra for her care and attention.

Great experience. Easy to find, directions were clear. Very hospitable hosts, it was always easy to find someone if we had any queries. Busy with lots of families but still big enough that we could have a quiet peaceful pitch (staying as a couple, no kids/pets). Facilities were clean and great to use. Would stay again.

Fleets Paddock is a truly magical place. We were a group of families returning once again and had the best time - the kids didn’t want to leave.
The Periwinkle was comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed to have an easy and restorative few days in the Kent countryside.

We were on the valley view pitch which was large and had a great view. It wasn’t too far from the carpark too which was nice. It was also very secluded so we hardly saw any other campers - felt like our own private site! Toilets and showers were clean, the bucket showers were a bit of a novelty. Shop had all the things you forget and the staff were friendly. Wheelbarrows were massive and plentiful.
