Booked site a week ahead. When arrived no record of booking. Credit card machine not working insisted on cash, go to local cash point if necessary. No receipt given. Apologised that no-one to site us but we could go anywhere. Found ideal loose-stone hard standing pitch that had water and electricity. Set up van, to be told later by neighbour that we were on a car park, and electricity point we were using was metered as we were in area for seasonal pitches. Impolite and arrogant reception staff member said that assistance with pitching had been offered but turned down (not true) and if we didn't like it we could leave. Finally offered a £10 electricity meter card. An attractive rustic site but looks tired. Mostly holiday homes and seasonal pitches with mainly Hobby/Fendt type caravans, in fact our neighbour confirmed that he lives on the site. Only four showers for men and women so probably would struggle in busy period. No shower doors, only curtains

Not recommended.

Toen wij aankwamen werden goed ingelicht over de omgeving. Het sanitair was niet bijzonder. Wij stonden er 5 nachten zonder dat er ooit een douche is schoongemaakt. De camping lag wel gunstig ten opzichte van Londen. 2 Mijl met de auto naar het stationnetje en dan 40 minuten met de trein naar Victoria station in Londen. Was goed te doen.

Camping stond vermeld voor korting in het voorseizoen, maar wij moesten het tarief van het hoogseizoon betalen. Verder het sanitair is oud [jaren '80] en vies. We hebben er drie dagen gestaan zonder dat het schoon werd gemaakt. De rust was 's morgens ook ver te zoeken, men ging om acht uur al met tractor en ander materiaal over de camping rijden.

Wij verbleven in mei 2011 op deze camping met onze tieners in een paar kleine trekkerstentjes. We werden vriendelijk onthaald en geattendeerd op de open bar. Daar konden we gezellig wat drinken, veotbal kijken en een potje poolen. Ook is er een game hal. Voor tieners dus niet onaardig. Het sanitair is niet nieuw en niet heel erg schoon, maar voor ons meer dan goed genoeg. Voor brood moet je naar het dichtstbijzijnde plaatsje. Londen is daarvandaan ook per trein bereikbaar, maar wij kozen voor vertrek vanuit Knockholt. Daarvandaan kun je gebruik maken van de voordelige Travel Card.

Geen vers brood op de camping, 5 km verderop. Personeel is behulpzaam maar niet echt professioneel. Kaarten van omgeving niet beschikbaar op camping. Zwembad 's avonds gesloten ook als het nog licht is. Terrein niet overal even schoon.
