Liked: Good size campsite that allowed fires. Had a wonderful play area for the children. Locked gate and felt very secure. Direct access to the river. Friendly and helpful owners, lovely village location. Riverside pitches provided lovely uninterrupted river views. Children loved the animals onsite. Clean toilets. Washing up station.
Disliked: No shower block however on this occasion we only stayed one night so it wasn’t an issues, any longer and it might have been

Liked: This was the second time me and my better half has stayed here, its just so chilled and relaxed. The owners are really nice and helpful. It's a locked enclosure so there's great security and although we were the only ones there we also had the company of two very friendly sheep ! There's a nice pub 5 mins by foot and access to to lovely Riverside walks. Will definitely be back
Disliked: I know its cheesy but the dislike is we had to go so soon.

Liked: This basic campsite is great if you want a simple camping experience. It has toilets, running (cold) water, fire pits and plenty of space to pitch and run around in. It even has a children's play area. This was ideal for me and another parent taking our children for a camping trip. The people who run it are very friendly. It's also less than 5 minutes walk from Yalding station which makes it ideal if travelling without a car, or for getting the train back after a long walk north along the River Medway.
Disliked: Didn't dislike anything but if you wanted more than basics (hot water, showers), you'll be disappointed. However, the campsite has only been going a few years and they are already building new toilets and planning to add showers, so maybe next summer they will have those.

Liked: The location beside the river is beautiful, so nice to be able to access it from the site as well for paddleboarding. The firepits that are dotted around the site are a lovely touch and made our weekend. Clare was really lovely and we were able to get firewood from her which was great. There's onsite sheep who are really cute and our dog enjoyed saying hello to them. The facilities are basic but we expected that and we had our motorhome so wasn't a problem at all. Just a really lovely site, in a great location and we will definitely be back.
Disliked: Nothing!
