 4 of us stayed there during the last weekend of June. Had plenty of space as there was only a few other people camping and the field was big.
Chose a pitch with a campfire pit and logs to sit on around the fire, which was great. The site is secure and you are given the keypad code to use while you are there. The facilities were good - clean toilets and showers, clean kitchen with a fridge to use, a washing machine and dryer (which came in handy as it rained most of the weekend). Lots of nice walks in the area and a good site for us living in East London as it was only an hour and a half drive away. We would definitely go back.

This was a nice site, with plenty of room on the field, despite it being fully booked for the Bank Holiday weekend. The main factor limiting the number of campers is the toilets / showers - there are just two toilets and one shower for each sex - so we didn't shower over the weekend!
There are campfire areas marked out by the tent pitches, which is a nice touch, though we didn't take advantage due to the rain. There were washing machines and a microwave available too, again we didn't take advantage, but others were.
The owner was friendly, and took us in at very short notice when the site we had booked on was even more basic than we had been led to believe.
The site is close to Ashurst train station, which has a direct line to London Bridge, so we spent a day in London playing on the Underground! Tunbridge Wells is a nice town with plenty of shops and a couple of nice parks.
We would definitely come here again if we were visiting this area.

This was our first camping trip of the year and was a great one to start with. The pitches were nice as each camping party was dotted around the farm rather than amassed into one big field. We had 3 tents on our pitch which was sloped in places, but came complete with wooden table and chairs, brick campfire area and several tree stumps to sit round it.
The area was clean with even the ashes removed from the previous fire. The facilities were clean and sufficient, although only 2 toilets and 1 shower per gender may be a problem at busier times of the year. Everyone on site was very friendly, especially the chickens who were keen to get in amongst the tents and join us round the campfire.
Be prepared to wake up with the cockerels at 3.30am, although we felt this added to the whole farm experience! Lots of nice walks around the area and very handy for visiting Tunbridge Wells. Would definitely recommend the site and happily camp here again.

We came here for a weekend a few years ago. It was my first ever camping trip since nasty cold trips in childhood and my boyfriend (now husband, so it must have worked) convinced me to try camping. It was gorgeous. We were lucky with weather but the campsite was lovely. it was like camping in someone's garden, with animals wandering around. Heaven. We had a campfire which was very romantic and lovely, and the shower blocks (my biggest fear) were spotless and warm! All in all, a fab start to my camping career.

My wife and I have stayed here 3 times now with our two children. It's a wonderful site for families who like to camp for the sake of camping- basic with clean, reliable showers and toilets (the showers cost noextra). The shower block also contains a microwave, washing machine andfridge for visitors to use.
Camping under the flight path for Gatwick may disturb some people - not a problem for me because I grew up under the flight path for Gatwick.

This was a long weekend, plenty of space on site, good privacy, good facilities nice and clean but can get busy. Dogs welcome good walking, Fresh eggs on site. Children able to find and make their own entertainment. Everyone gets to have their own campfire - magical.
need to book in advance as it can get busy.

We have been to this site twice now. The facilities are very good - always clean, plenty of hot water, nice size sinks, for washing up and laundry all housed in one block. Very pretty site nice and quiet - and you camp around the trees. Ducks and chickens roam around freely
Nice to have campfires, but wood was expensive and doesn't last very long.
On the downside - found it expensive for what was there. @ £6 per adult - £4 per child and £2.50 for EHU - wood was £3 per bag
3 units 2 with EHU - 5 adults - 2 children - 2 bags of wood = £49 for one night
Not much for the children - a couple of rope swings in the trees . We were there around lambing, which were in pens in a large barn.
The site is off a main road, we didn't see any pubs or local shops nearby
Would we go back . Yes more than likely

A very disappointing experience. We were attracted to the site as it allows fires. However, on arrival we were very put off by how close the site is to a noisy and busy road. To make matters worse the site that we had been allocated was as close to the road as it could have been - just the other side of a thin panelled fence.
This would have been disappointing enough - then we realised that the nightly rate for us was £20 - the most I have ever paid for a campsite. Remember, this is near East Grinsted, fine but not exactly spectacular. What topped it off and really annoyed was that we found that weekend visitors are charged for two nights even if they only stay for one. I think thats dreadful. Unfortunately, turning road and going home was not really an attractive option.
Somewhat bizarrely the owner decided that as there had been a very loud party until 4 in the morning at a nearby house that she would refund one of the 2 nights money. It seems very odd to me to over charge to such an extent and then to offer a refund for something out of their control. We felt slightly better to get £20 back and then remembered that that £20 was still the most we have paid to camp anywhere.

Decided to give this site a try having read all the reviews.
Must say both myself and wife enjoyed stopping here and would return.
Site is easy to find, we turned up mid afternoon, so we had choose of where we pitched.
Pitches with electric hook up are few.
This is probably the only campsite we've visited that allows you a camp fire, which can be really good fun.
Thought the idea of different feild for the families with younger children, and the remainder of campers was good.
The only down side that we found was that the toilet facilities are a bit sparce, with only 2 toilets, 1 shower and 2 swash basins in each male and female toilets, it could get busy in peak times.
We are planning to return before the season is out and this time we will be taking friends who are first time campers.
Well done Ronnda we look forward to coming back.

Unfortunately, road noise was a bit of a surprise, but the site was excellent. Very clean facilities and good washing up area. Use of a washing machine, microwave and fridge if needed. Free range eggs available, (really delicious and well worth getting some).
Fire pits for each pitch and bags of logs for sale were reasonable. Fires were surrounded by chairs and logs to sit on, and can be recommended with a cup of coffee and a bottle of rum if it is raining (as it was for 2 nights we were there!).
There is a key code to get in and out of the site which was good from a security point of view. The owner was very friendly although obsessive about recycling, to the point of sorting through peoples rubbish bags looking for items to recycle, but at least she is environmentally friendly.
A few birds and foxes around, but not much in the way of wildlife, however, you are close to Penshurst Place, Groombridge Place, Finchcocks Museum and Pooh Bear country, so plenty to do if you have more energy than us (who just wanted to sit and vegetate for a few days)
