Hever Camping

A aimé : Stayed on the campsite for 3 nights with young children and teens. It was in a nice location, lots of greenery, local attractions and lots of local pubs and walks.

N'a pas aimé: Sadly, the site only had 1 drinking water tap, no way of drying your hands after going to the bathroom, the bins were overflowing and some furry friends enjoyed a rummage. There is no staff office/reception on site so when new campers arrived, the current campers had to do the orientation (which we didn’t mind but also found it strange). The campsite is located in a flight path so planes go overhead late into the night and early morning so pack the ear plugs.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your comments. Annoyingly, our bin collection didn't happen this week, and after we chased it- discovered it was a 'new driver' who didn't do the pick up as scheduled. They have apologised. We are as annoyed as you, as after a dog had ripped open a bag, we obviously were tasked with clearing it all up! Yes, we don't have a reception- but on our guests confirmation email, it states to call us on arrival, and we come out and welcome guests in. We have the camping phone on at all times. We have previously supplied paper for drying hands, but have found some campers like to pull it all out and decorate the floor with it- and we didn't find this very environmentally friendly. Most campers bring a small towel down to the bathroom, or do the dry shake!

A aimé : Lovely location and clean facilities to use,hever castle is literally down the road should you fancy a trip there,if your lucky you will see some deer roaming around if you wanted go on a walk through the countryside.Will definitely be returning again soon.

A aimé : Field was huge and lovely, very remote, although long lane to get there very bumpy and excessively slippery when wet. Hosts were really nice, very helpful and drove round daily to check all was well and if logs needed.

N'a pas aimé: Sadly the few toilets that were there were weren't very pleasant. I'm not sure whether through lack of cleaning or other campers just not caring. Also, we had music blaring until after 11 both nights, I wish people that wanted that would realise a totally remote field is the wrong place.

A aimé : We loved the friendly welcoming from staff and the offer for fire wood and fire lighter at a very reasonable price. We really enjoyed our night at the farm, it seemed inclusive with a variation of families, couples and larger groups. The facilities were kept clean and well maintained - we loved the added extra of hot water on this site and a place to do washing up. Overall a very nice place which we will certainly return too.

A aimé : Big open space in the pond field with freedom to camp wherever we wanted and can enjoy a campfire. Staff very friendly and welcoming. would come back again

N'a pas aimé: run down and basic facilities in the Pond Field site And no showers had to drive to the farm field site to have a shower. internet/phone signal is very limited Poor maintained road/track leading to field hard to access unless you have 4x4 or high ground clearance vehicle

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your feedback. We totally take on board your comments, and are excited to say, we have purchased a new toilet/ shower block to compliment Pond Field. Im sorry it wasn't up and running for your visit but it was delayed due to the annoyingly ongoing wet weather we have been experiencing which obviously inhibits large machines from accessing the fields without making unsightly ruts- and we take pride in our lush rolled fields! We are pleased to see you would visit again, and look forward to you trying out the new facilities and giving us your feedback.

A aimé : The space options, shower facilities, the staff were so friendly.

N'a pas aimé: Sadly the toilet facilities, doors didn’t lock, lack of toilet roll, also waited 2 hours for a fire pit but they are small.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Chris- Thank you for your feedback. I apologise for the doors not locking- we were unaware of an issue as no-one had mentioned they couldn't be locked- but rest assured, we will check them and rectify immediately if there's an issue - privacy is key when you need a wee! Sadly we found some campers had pulled out alot of the toilet paper and left it strewn on the floor- but I assure you we do visit and top up facilities numerous times in the day. The firepits we do lend out for free, and we have numerous sizes and shapes- I'm sorry you found it small, and yes you shouldn't have to wait 2 hours for it- we usually do a log drop at 5pm, and provide the pits at the same time- I will look into this thank you for bringing it to our attention.

A aimé : Staff were fantastic, site was amazing. Lovely area and would defo return

N'a pas aimé: Nothing - absolute amazing site

A aimé : Easy to find. Check-in was fine, phoned when I arrived at the yard as per the instructions. The farm field showers were spacious which was nice, and great to have a hot shower, and the fresh air coming in too. Two washing up areas and a separate drinking water point. Plenty of toilets for the size of the field. The two ladies running it were lovely and friendly, helpful info about local footpaths and have small local maps for sale. Great view from the top of the field.

N'a pas aimé: Would have been nice to have a way to recycle other than taking home. Not a dislike as such but no small bin in the washing up areas so make sure to have your own rubbish bags.
