 We have had 2 stays here and think its great. We pitched our tent at the rear of the farmhouse where Ronda, the lady running it, tries to keep all the young families together. It feels like an extension of the garden and there's a couple of tree swings where the kids play and can meet each other. There's a football goal too. The hens provide fresh eggs and wood for the fire is for sale. I suggest you take kindling and firelighters though! We love being able to toast marshmallows! The facilities are clean and close by - we didn't have to wait long even at busy times. Great for us!

Being local to the area we stayed here for one night to try out our new tent. It was the bank holiday weekend and the campsite was full, but we were shown to the field at the back and allocated a place to pitch. The field had recently been inhabited by sheep and the evidence was there to see.
The campsite is a working farm and there are plenty of chicken, geese and various bits of farm machinery scattered around, as well as various old barns and outbuildings. A farm as it should be.
The washing / toilet facilites were clean but limited, and I would imagine get very busy in the mornings and evenings. Campfires are allowed, certainly in the back field, and the farm house sells wood by the bag if you can't be bothered to forage in the nearby woods. The setting is beautiful and the walks from the campsite inspiring. If I did not live just down the road I would certainly come back for a long weekend.

We stayed at Manor Court Farm on the 5th, 6th and 7th May 2006. The site is fantastic, the best bit is the fact that you can have camp fires. The toilet facilities were brilliant. Rhondda who run the site is a great lady and let our little girl help with the chickens.
My parents stayed in the B&B and were equally impressed. Manor Court Farm is a "must stay"

After the reviews we have read we were slightly apprehensive of the facilities, however we arrived after an easy journey and were shown around and eventually decided on a spot near the big barn with a camp fire. The toilet facilities were good for us, just the two of us, especially as the site was almost deserted! Perfect! We were woken up by the chickens everymorning, however we brought eggs from the farmer which made up for it!
On our stay of 4 nights we visited 10 national trust properties... perfect area, visited the llama park and had a lovely thai meal in Tonbridge. We had a great time just the two of us, the site is not the place for children as we found out. That we were glad of. However on the friday night too large groups turned up and took over... so we were glad to leave on saturday morning at 9:30 am. It is not the place for groups and if you are a couple after a quiet holiday check when booking that lots of kids and large groups are not coming.
Our pitch was windy, but that was great for drying out the tent, and yes the planes over head can haunt you and the cars are noisy, however whilst we were staying a fence was put up alongside the road which did make a difference. We however had a fantastic time!

A real treasure of a site unique in its location and atmosphere if you want loud entertainment this one is not for you, but if you enjoy the countryside and nature pack up and visit.
There is plenty to do with a little imagination. 365 acres of farm allow for great walks and lots of fun real log fires, woods, streams, ponds.
The children can really have adventures cooking on open fires (marshmallows yum yum)and the wild garlic around is delicious in salads.plenty of wildlife around badgers foxes birds, woodpeckers, bats. wood mice, rabbits even found a slowworms nest!!
Locally theres lots to do soft rock climbing, off road cycling at PORKS, fishing, and lots more beutiful views and countryside pooh village just down the road.on the farm theres lambs sheep ducks chucks, and the occasional sheep dog display.
The manager is friendly and obliging the toilet block although small is one of the cleanest and warmest I've seen!! The whole experiance is calming and a great oppertunity to have a real good quality time with the family. We will definatly be back again and again.

Visited here in a Caravan with EHU. Getting to the site is no problem, we followed the route from the Sat Nav and this took us through some lanes rather than through Tunbridge Wells and we found the roads were ok for the caravan but at one point it was single traffic only!
On arrival to the site we were met by a friendly lady who let us in and showed us the variety of pitches. As we were in a group of three (us, motorhome and tent) we selected one of the designated campfire areas and all pitched together. Access in and out of the site is by a key coded gate.
The site sold a large bag of wood for £3 each, lasts a couple of hours, and we enjoyed an evening aroung the fire.
The toilets and shower block were clean although very small - only one mens shower for the whole site! probably the same for the ladies.
Laundry also on site and washing up area (covered) with info on the local area was available.
Lots of grassed areas for the kiddies to play, ride bikes etc and concreted areas if it gets a little too muddy.
Other than that there is nothing else on the site, apart from the farm animals which the kids can go and look at, which makes it one very expensive place to camp, we paid £22.50 for two adults, 2 kids (under 13) and hookup per night for very sparse facilities, bearing in mind this was January and not peak season!!!
Tunbridge Wells is just 5 miles away, convienient for shopping etc with all the major high street stores and Tesco's / Co op etc all around the town.
Would I go back, yes if I didn't have the kids as it wouldn't be that expensive, no if I had the kids as nothing to entertain them on site and overpriced for them - £4 per child per night for no facilities apart from a swing attached to a tree.
Also site is very dark at night, don't forget your torch. Site was close to the road but we didn't really notice it.

We visited this site over August Bank holiday last year. We booked ages in advance with two other groups of campers as we asked for electric hook up we were given a pitch at the back of the farm house. This pitch was not big enough to get our TT on so we did have to ask to move to another pitch next door. Even though the site advertises no set pitches we found we had to sort ourselves out into a suitable pitch as the owner seemed a bit fussy with who was going where. However she was concerned about each pitch having enough privacy. 1 other group in our party had to move up onto the field which was very open.
We really liked this site though and there were plently of animals walking around. Yes you had to mind the geese but think this would be the case anywhere you just walk around them.
We took our dog and she loved it, it was near a road but there was no access to it i.e. kids safe, we did not find this noisy. Also yes it was in a flight path but this seemed to change direction each night. The noise did not disturb us and in fact the kids loved watching the planes.
The camp fires were really great and I havent found another site yet that has real camp fires.
I was concerened when I read that there was only 1 shower but there was never a queue when we were there.
There was a fridge and microwave and the facilities were IMACCULATELY clean with recycling facilities.
We will visit this camp again this year but ask for a pitch behind the farm house with a camp fire.
Highly recommended the kids loved it.
Yes there were only 2 rope swings in the trees but they entertained themselves just running around. Also near to village shop selling every thing and nearby places of interest. If you like a relaxed camping trip this is for you.

If you fancy a low key one this is for you. I took 3 kids along & they loved the walks with the dogs but theres no play park! theres chickens & geese roaming around so the kids can use up all ya crusty bread up on them. Theres a stagment lake that chucks up when the wind blows your way!!
We loved the camp fire you can have as this really makes it, but remember to say you want one when you book cos theres only a couple, bag of wood 3 quid, lots of space when you camp, lots of noise from the road, lots of bikes on sunday morning! only 1 shower & 2 toliets. You can recycle all ya rubbish which I thought was thoughtful. Nothing else around outside camp, but if you want to take your motor or bike to visit thats your answer or a long walk.
Good ole fashion camping & we loved it.

27-31 August. Pitched in the Orchards with a camp fire. 2 Vango 900's and 1 600, 6 adults and 7 children. We were made to feel very welcome and the facilities were superb and spotless. The kids went feral for three days and mingled happily with the chickens, ducks and geese. well maybe not the geese.
The only criticism if there has to be one is that it's under a flight path for Gatwick but not too noisy and it certainly didn't detract. There are plenty of things to do and see with kids in mind within easy reach of the site. I'll definatly be going back if they'll have me. 9/10

After paying £72 for 3 nights for 2 adults and 3 children (ouch) we were offered a pitch in the area next to the farmhouse / B&B in a small area amongst many other tents. We asked if any other pitches were available and we were happy to be shown a huge field with beautiful views and fire pits. We were informed it's very windy here (very very true), we done it though through heavy rain and wind.
Nice new toilet block, but no soap or hand dryer and if you smoke you have to detox two minutes before entering toilets because she hates smokers. In the same room as sinks, fridge etc so not much privacy either.
Overall we were a bit disappointed as after reading the reviews and expecting a friendly warm welcome, we found it not as expected. It is a working farm so was noisy also in mornings.
