I only live 5 miles from this site & me & the kids love the place. Easy going, clubhouse, pubs nearby, & a sunday boot fair at Whrotham.
During the summer months it's very hard to get the kids out of the pool to eat, at least you can have a bit of peace.
I will go there all year round now.

Our first time at Thriftwood. This site is only approx. 45 minutes from our home, but the camp gave us the feeling of being alot further away from home. The site is just off J2 of the M20.
Friendly staff. Toilets and showers (20p) very clean. Site very clean. Great heated outdoor pool plus its FREE to use. Great site for both familes and those who want peace and quiet as you pitch up within the trees to escape the main fields.
Bad points would have to be the amount of flint etc under the grass, bent a few tent pegs. This is l understand due to some of the land being reclaimed, therefore its only in places.
If you decide to stay at Thriftwood you will need to pay 10.00 refundable deposit for the barrier to gain access on and off the site.
During our stay there was the biggest Boot Sale l have ever seen about 3-4 minute walk from the site.
Tariff was good 17.00pn 2x Adults 2x Kids and EHU
Would we go again.....oh yes, we will be going back next year for weekends as it is so close for us

Arrived friday and welcomed by pleasant staff. Could pitch our tent virtually anywhere we liked which gave us great freedom. One of the first things we noticed was considering how close the site is to the M20 (and lets just say well sign posted) the noise was very minimal. The pleasent sound of squirrels in the trees and the general quite made this a very attractive site.
The site itself was very clean and tidy, the shower blocks were clean and well equiped, as was the toilet block. Good utensil washing facilities and in general a very nice weekend.
Even the onsite clubhouse gave us no noise at all. If you are ever travelling through kent and want an excellent overnight stay or more look in and pay them a visit.
Whats more the location among kents rolling hills and scenery there is so much to do within easy reach. A good base and secluded site.

This is a bit of a tricky one to review. So much is good about this site but, how can I put this? Its the resident caravans which spoil it. Imagine a smaller version of a big seaside static site with the same clientele.
Firstly let me say the attitude and warmth of the welcome from the staff was quite simply the best I have ever received. The facilities were superb, clean and working (although I begrudge 20p for a shower at £12 a night).
The ground was not very kind to regular tent pegs as it was made up of alot of flint. The touring pitches were well spaced and in about 3 different locations, some with electric. Bordered by woodland, this made for a really nice afternoon walk.
The problems came at night time. Friday night was particularly challenging. Up until 1.30 in the morning we had noise from the resident caravans. We had a gang of teenagers running round and in between the tent, which resulted in several episodes of them tripping over the guy ropes with the potential to damage the zips. We had one couple rowing their heads off with much effing and blinding. Basically there was no respect from these people for others or others property. We were also subject to name calling (we are a gay couple) this ran off our backs, but was still unsettling.
It seems to me that the resident holiday makers get a sense of being comfortable, which is fine, but with some this transpires as noise and disrespect. Saturday was slightly better, but we did have loud music well past midnight (again from a resisent caravanner). The ultimate question is "would we return?" I'm sorry to say, no we wouldn't. Overall I give it 5/10.

We visited on the recommendation of friends to try out our new tent and were not disappointed. Support everything that has been said on the reviews so far and would only add that the outdoor pool was lovely and warm!

Absolutely excellant site, we stayed for 2 nights, and really enjoyed it, lovely grassed area for tents, surrounded by trees oh and squirrels! Plenty for the Kids - an open air swimming pool and play area.
Immaculate toilets and shower block, and shop and bar on site.
Definately will return.
Excellant

I have stayed at Thriftwood several times over as many years. The present owners have made some changes but it remains an informal and quiet site but with good facilities. The only thing I dislike about it now is they have statics, about a dozen at the moment but will rise to twenty in total. A commercial necessity the owner told me. Many touring pitches are set in semi woodland others are more open some with semi hardstanding. The site slopes slightly but not unduly and it shouldn't be difficult to level an outfit. Can get a bit muddy in bad weather. The site roads are made of clinker - the local council won't let them tarmac them for some reason.
Toilet block is heated and always clean on my visits. Unusual feature is two little buildings in centre of site with coin operated cookers and pinic tables for back packer campers. Other facilities are housed in timber buildings at top of site and include shop, family bar, information room, payphone. There is also an open air swimming pool, heated I believe. The site is popular with foreign tourers especially Dutch who often outnumber the Brits! The owners live on site and the drive up to the house/reception is very pretty with ponds and flowerbeds. Obviously some noise from Brands Hatch when a meeting is on. Good location for visiting many places in the area Hever and Leeds castles being just two that spring to mind. Overall verdict is don't expect neatly mowed grass and units lined up in rows. As I said it's an informal quiet site but with good facilities
