Liked: There was so much space and choice as to where we could pitch up. The toilets and showers were some of the cleanest I've seen and the staff were really friendly. The pitches backed onto country footpaths which were ideal for when we wanted to go for a scenic walk.
Disliked: Nothing I disliked.

Liked: Beautiful fields with lots of lovely walks along river Medway, tyre swing for kids and plenty of toilets and showers in the block.
Disliked: The showers in the block which was closed looked better as they had shower curtain to stop towel getting wet while showering!

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.

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us especially over the extremely busy Bank Holiday weekend. We have 2 toilet and shower blocks next to each other and they were both open all weekend (1 would close at a time to enable thorough cleaning) you must have only used the smaller ones(with the wooden steps) perhaps the larger ones were being cleaned when you went to use them and once cleaned the one you used would have been cleaned straight after the cleaned ones were re-opened. We look forward to welcoming you again, if you can try to avoid Bank Holidays your visit would be more pleasant.
Nice lot of room to set up and peaceful…

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us especially over the extremely busy Bank holiday weekend. We have lots of fields for people to enjoy spreading out in away from other campers if they choose to, therefore the further away from the amenities the longer the walk or drive but the more peaceful it becomes. Some guests bring toilet tent facilities for night time use. We hope to see you again soon.
