We visited in August 2010 and had a great time. The site is efficiently run by the owners who are extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is done with a smile.
The site is spotless. It has a quality and nicely equipped play area for children. There is a brand new club house which offers excellent quiz/bingo nights in a comfortable and friendly bar. There is fantastic new swimming pool and poolside area which our children loved. Overnight security is present just in case, again, in a pleasant easy-going way. The whole place is very dog friendly but in fact there are not that many dogs around.
There are shops nearby including a very high quality and comprehensively stocked Spar about ten minutes walk from the site, Tesco and Sainsbury's are a short drive away. The whole place is peaceful yet quietly active. It's a very pleasant walk along the seafront to Whitstable. Couldn't recommend it too highly. I wish all camping were like this!

Have just returned from a very pleasant week long stay at Homing Park. Staff were very friendly and helpful and maintained a visible presence throughout. Nothing threatening or overbearing, but enough for everyone to know that they were there if needed.
The site itself was nice and clean and the shower/toilet blocks were cleaned daily (Twice a day on weekends I think).
There is also plenty to do in the local area including Howletts zoo, Canterbury, etc. I can't comment on the other facilities (Swimming pool, clubhouse, etc) as didn't use them in our time there although they seemed to be popular with the other campers.
The only area for improvement I could see is that there are only 2 showers each for the men and ladies, and the shower drainage left a bit to be desired (So don't leave your shoes on the floor of the changing area!). That said though I don't remember ever having to wait too long to use the shower, and the lack of showers did mean that when you did get in the shower, the water pressure was good. I think it's the first camp site I've used where the showers are stronger than my own!
Would certainly return.

Obviously the weather was a contributory factor, but there were a few things about Homings that I was not particularly pleased about.
Maybe it is par for the course and I am just inexperienced in what to expect, but I was annoyed at paying the same fee as everyone else when not using any electricity (and stating clearly upon booking that we did not require a hookup). We are cyclists and do not have any vehicle. If I had known that we would pay exactly the same as motorhome owners etc I would not have booked.
The swimming pool is small - so if the weather had been conducive to a dip it would have been a rather intimate experience with complete strangers! Plus it would cost nearly a fiver for a 2 adult 2 child family for the privilege of access. Apparently the pool is nothing to do with the park (in spite of being right in the middle of it)- to the point where the receptionists would not tell me anything about it!
No bins for general rubbish anywhere on the site except at the entrance, and signs telling people not to use the toilet or kitchen bins for domestic waste - the amount of rules and restrictions did feel rather oppressive - no ball games no cycling etc etc.
One thing that I do not understand from other reviews is that no one seems bothered by the road very close by. The traffic was 24 hour constant and in a tent was loud - the only thing that drowned it out was the driving rain.
The receptionist did not know the directions to the site from the station, and when we left early no refund was forthcoming
It is clean and well maintained, but is not an attractive site - no concessions for non vehicle campers and is close to a road.

Just stayed 7 nights at homing park. (tent) myself and family with 2 children. On first visiting the site its in a nice open location clean and tidy, and was very impressed with the very clean and well kept shower/toilet rooms. The pool was well kept but did have to pay £1.00 per person each day. There is 1 tennis court which is £3.00 per hour which was very disappointing, and as far as stuff to do here in the day is it.
There is a local on site club bar for beers and stuff next to pool but no music or game activity offered also no on site shop. The spar shop is 2 min drive though and tescos just 2 miles away.
Night time bar is open till 11am week with 2 pool tables, weekend entertainment was not good just a dj with some terrible music and that was sat night only.
Also every night there is a on site security guard who walks and checks the camp site till dawn which is superb for peace of mind.
To sum up nice site well kept, friendly staff,but for the kids they got bored I think it just needs more.! just watch for the skinny road behind site enough for 1 car!

We went with friends for the weekend. It was very easy to find the site. The people are very friendly and helpful. The is a tennis court, swimming pool and 5 a side football pitch.
The camping site is small and the facilities are very tidy and clean. The toilets was cleaned daily and even a hairdryer is availible.
Unfortunately there is no shop but a Tesco is 2miles from the site. We had a lovely relaxing weekend. Thank you!

We had another long Bank Holiday weekend @ Homing Park.
Once again we were greeted by the very helpful staff, and were quickly on our way to our pitch. There is not really much to add since our last review, bar from the fact that the washrooms were better kept than last year, with us not having to wait too long for a shower. We had a laugh on the Friday night playing Bottletop Bingo, ingenious.
One of our favourite sites!
