Unpowered grass site

Liked: Excellent and friendly staff. Access to the river for paddle boarding and boating is excellent and easy.Fields are very large and great for big to small groups which includes families. Would only return because of the river which is a shame as it could be a wonderful campsite.

Disliked: The only disappointment of the camping site is that there is only one toilet block for the entire site which can lead to a long walk. What's also very disappointing is the state and size of the toilet block. Only 3 cubicles for the men and 5 for the women. This accommodates the entire site for potentially hundreds of people.when we left at 8am in the morning only one cubicle was running due to the lack of toilet paper and cleanliness. Shame really, toilet block is needed on each field.

Unpowered grass site

Liked: Location was fantastic, the site its self was so peaceful. Toilet and shower blocks were clean. The lady we checked us in was very friendly.

Disliked: The grass was quite long in places meaning you couldn’t see where the ditches were when walking to the toilets.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and that you will visit again. Unfortunately the grass at this time of year needs cutting about every 5 days and with 500 acres this can prove a challenge especially when the weather is not kind to us. We look forward to your next visit.

Local attractions

Once the kids let you off site, Kent (aka The Garden of England) has beaches, historic towns, forests and more castles, stately homes (and gardens) open to the public than anywhere else in the country. If this isn't enough, Paddock Wood railway station is five minutes’ drive from The Hop Farm for a train to London, less than an hour away. Dover is within 60 miles for a day trip to France. Kent has 350 miles of coastline, with Blue Flag beaches, watersports and those famous white cliffs at Dover. Eight of the 11 Blue Flaggers are in Ramsgate, Margate and Broadstairs; Whitstable and Herne Bay are also popular with oyster eaters, anglers and jetskiers. There are umpteen options for families in the area including play centres, farms, horse riding and days out. Howletts Wild Animal Park at Canterbury has the biggest group of looked-after gorillas in the world and experiences for visitors such as junior ranger days. Penshurst Place and Gardens has historical re-enactments, children’s trails, an adventure playground and special events during the school holidays. Both Leeds Castle at Maidstone and Hever Castle near Edenbridge are family-friendly and packed with activities and events. There’s a Go Ape! at Leeds Castle as well as two mazes, boat trips, falconry displays, underground grotto and the Knights' Realm Playground, a scale model of the castle (and a golf course and golf instruction for the grownups). Hever, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, has a yew maze and water maze, award-winning gardens and a topiary. Back with the big folk, the old market towns of Tonbridge, Maidstone, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge Wells are close by for shopping and sightseeing. Bluewater shopping centre is in Greenhithe (rival Lakewater is just over the Essex border at West Thurrock).
