Located in Kent a short distance from Bedgebury Pinetum, the campsite is part of a 250-acre family farm located in a beautiful valley in the Weald of Kent. A small brook runs alongside the campground providing water edge camping, next to a wooded oasis where kids can play and build camps. We open the farm for the whole of August for tent camping.The campsite is located 0.5km off the road down a farm track, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, making it quiet and secluded, and safe for children. The camping ground covers over four acres, so it never feels crowded. Friends and families can camp in groups pitching where they please. On arrival you are free to choose where to pitch. Campfires are allowed, with firewood available at reception. We want to make getting back to nature as painless as possible. It is normally possible to park by your tent, however we may ask that you keep your car in the car park during your stay.
