Hello

We've just come back from a week's camping with our three children (12, 10 and 8) and my two cousins (13 and 15) at Nethercourt Touring Park in Ramsgate.  The campsite is lovely, the managers are very easygoing, but it is quiet after 10.30 to 11.00 pm.  There is no clubhouse, but there is a little shop with the bare essentials, a room with one pool table and another with one TV in.  Showers and loos are clean.  Also, there is a play are right next to the campsite.  We did walk to the beach from the site, but it's a bit far (about 1/2 hour).

I was also very surprised at how nice Ramsgate beach is.  I live in Kent, but had always thought Ramsgate beach wouldn't be very nice.  I was completely wrong.  In fact, I am now going to go to Ramsgate when I go out for the day.

I can't recommend Nethercourt highly enough.

Thanks all! Would be looking for a quiet site, so long as it has loos and possibly showers. Have emailed and got reply from Palace Farm Hostel (and camping!) Faversham, very quiet and new showers and loos - looks quite good but no one has reviewed it yet - or perhaps not stayed there yet! Just got to decide if I want to treck down to kent - almost 3 hrs - for 3 or 4 nights.

Like you , we prefer a quiet site & found an excellent one near Canterbury . It has a swimming pool but no clubhouse & when we have been the other campers have respected each others privacy .We are going again this weekend

Its called Yew Tree Farm , & is on the site search on here.

The main "listening ears" or mirrors are near Dungeness, but you cannot get to them now as they are surrounded by water and there is a revolving bridge type thing which is locked, you can only get over it, when you go on guided walks. The big mirrors are now protected as there was quite a lot vandalism etc.
