Camping,
We welcome tents of all shapes and sizes. Families welcome & dogs welcome. Please however keep dogs on a lead at all times, anyone whose dog is found to be causing a nuisance (bothering the horses or other campers etc) will be asked to leave. Please clean up any mess you leave, there are bins provided near the toilets. We welcome campfires, [should you require wood we can arrange for a 3' x 3' trailer load be brought down to you.] Please keep fires to a minimal size and try (where possible) to use existing fire pits.
Swimming Pool,
We have a reasonable sized outdoor swimming pool (open May - Sept) please note, this is not a heated pool so weather conditions permitting. There is also a small slide and space to sunbathe and watch the kids from beside the pool. This swimming pool is not manned, all children MUST be supervised by a parent/guardian at all times. Prices: £5 per family, based on 2 adults & 2 children, £2 for each additional adult with a family, £1 for each additional child with a family, £3 Adult & £2 child.
Fishing,
We are lucky enough to have the river Medway running the entire length of our campsite, open season on the river Medway is 16th June - 14th May. There are a few good spots that you can pitch a tent and fish right next to it. With a campfire, some sausages and a fishing rod what could be better for a relaxing weekend?!
Fish commonly caught include; Pike, Perch, Bream, Tench and Carp.
Every freshwater angler in England and Wales aged 12 years or over
must hold a valid Environment Agency rod licence, or risk prosecution
and a fine of up to £2,500.
Mooring,
Another perk of being located next to the river is we have access for mooring.
Please bring your own ground anchors as we do not have posts installed due to the issue of health and safety, being a potential trip hazard to the campers. You are more than welcome to come down for the day, bring the family and a BBQ!
Please try to call in advance to book as we do have limited mooring space and would not like to turn anyone away.
Motor homes,
We welcome motor homes and camper vans, however unfortunately not caravans. We cannot provide electric hook up either. Please be aware when arriving in a motor home some pitches can become waterlogged at certain times of the year. Please ask Mr or Mrs Taylor or Tony (all on site) for the best place to park.
Tent Hire,
We have 2 family sized tents available for hire; these start at £20 please see prices page for details. We do allow dogs in these however please note you are liable for any damages caused, please do not smoke or cook in the tents.
Please ensure you book in advance to avoid disappointment as the tents are in popular demand.
Toilets & Shower,
We have 2 toilets and a shower available for campers use, if you have a shower please leave a donation towards gas in the pot provided.
Marquee Hire,
We can offer the rental of our facilities for an entire day/night and can also provide the facility of a marquee. This has been hired for private use, parties and weddings! Please phone for further details.
If you plan to arrive in a large vehicle please phone in advance and confirm details with us.
