Toilet/shower and washing up block fine, very clean etc. farm itself was run down, with signs saying "caution, building in danger of collapse" or to that effect, which was just great! all the buildings were run down around the place, geese wandering freely, which we were told to avoid as they were aggressive, (they set up camp between our tent and the car though!) we pitched next to the old tennis court, so we could have campfire, plenty of space around us, but right under flight path, lots of noisy planes, and next to a busy main road, (really busy!) not very peaceful.
For the kids were 2 rope swings in trees, and a plastic football goal, thats it. couldn't get near to the ponds, as there were lots of old caravans pitched there, don't know if they were lived in or not, all in all, not worth the £20 it cost us for the one night, (2 adults, and 3&5 year olds). no animals on view other than the geese!

What a great place! We arrived mid afternoon on a Monday and being our first ever camping trip were a little unsure of what happens next. We were greeted by a really nice lady who told us the gate combination number and said to pitch up anywhere we liked near one of the campfire sites (we had asked for this when we booked). We chose a spot tucked away in the corner so not to look like a pair of idiots trying to put our tent up in front of others far more experienced! Later that day she came to find us and took our fee - all very informal but extremely helpful as to local attractions, details of the farm etc.
The toilet and showers were faultless. They were some of the cleanest I have ever seen, including my own at home. The shower was lovely and hot and free too. There is only one ladies and one gents shower which may cause problems if the site was fully booked, but would be well worth a short wait. They have a sink for dishwashing and another for washing clothes, although this can be done by the house for a small charge. There are recycling points too for bottles, cans etc.
The ducks and geese came to see us every morning as did the cat which added to the charm, and being woken by the woodpecker rather than our alarm clock was fantastic.
We lit a campfire twice during our stay and that too added to the whole experience (they sell logs for £3.00 for a bag)
The surrounding woodland is stunning for a nice walk and there are plenty of local attractions.
We can't wait to go back - it was peaceful, quiet, clean, pretty, spacious and just about perfect for us.
9½/10 (can't give 10 as we have nothing to compare it to!)

As already said a nice site, pick your own spot, but as most seemed to like being amongst the trees this meant you were a little close to your neighbour, but there's a large field which we chose for a more secluded feel, although it did not spoil in any way our enjoyment you are under the flight path to Gatwick therefore it could be a little noisy. This being our first camping trip we could not have made a better beginning.

8 of us visited Manor Court Farm on a glorious weekend in May, and we had a great time relaxing in the sun. We took a camper van, 3 tents and a car and set up in a field with roaring camp-fire - you can buy fire wood from the farmhouse easy enough. It's better to camp away from the farmhouse as the road got busy on Sunday with motorbikes zooming around.
Because there is a b&b on site, we were lucky to have breakfast of coffee and croissants in the garden, for £5 each.
Lots of walks nearby across fields and lots of country pubs to visit.
The toilet and shower facilities are new and clean but more showers are needed.
I would definately go back!

Manor Court Farm is a lovely, quiet, friendly campsite. The children loved the animals and the space to run around in and play, whilst I loved the peace, the clean shower block and wonderful open fire to cook on.
The owners are friendly and helpful, offering advice for areas to visit and where shops are etc.
The site is wonderful for those people who like camping with a bit of seclusion.

Nice clean-small site. Toilets/showers were spotless and everything worked!
Camped on what had been a tennis court so ground a bit stoney. Difficult to peg in so got the wife to do it! Weather was glorious. lovely walks through the farm to a wooded valley.
Would definetly go again.

Me and a group of five youngish (mid 20's) friends have just spent the weekend at Manor Court Farm in Kent, just west of Royal Tunbridge Wells.
The entrance to the farm is signposted but somehow we missed it, so we drove on to Ashurst and had to turn around.
Once in the site, the camp is situated in wooded fields with various "pitches", none really designated around the farm, but some are quite secluded. There is probably room for fifteen or so in total, with about four with electric hook ups. During our stay there were three other permanent caravans and a tent.
We chose the furthest away pitch next to the second designated camp fire, the only problem being that there must have been some clay or stone under the earth as putting in tent pegs became difficult in some places.
The site has two designated camp fire areas, but I did see a good few other burn marks on the ground. The owners never visited us during the stay so I guess you could get away with having a fire in other areas. There are plenty of bricks around for safety purposes. The owners also provided free dry wood which was handy for us as the Friday it rained.
Scattered around the campsite there are various wooden tables and chairs for anybody to use, but not as fire wood.
The showers are free, however there is just one for each sex but they are very good quality with plenty of hot water and with quite strong jets. Two toilets each in the same block which were good, clean but the doors in the male section didn't close properly. Within the toilet/shower block there is a place to do washing up, a toaster and even a microwave. Next time we are going to bring a kettle to plug in.
The farm is occupied by a number of animals including a dog, a number of ducks, a roaster, a few geese and a cat which had just given birth to eight adorable little kittens.
The farm owner is very nice and friendly lady, as the farm is also a B&B you can also get breakfast for a fiver or B&B for about £20ish. You can also get clothes washed, a single load at £1.50.
The cost is £5 per person for the first night and then £4.50 each night afterwards.
The site is situated just five miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent so for visiting various places of interest, including Tunbridge itself, the site is very well placed.
The camp has no other amenities, no pool, no kids play area, but if you want a basic site with camp fires, some wildlife and a friendly atmosphere then have a look at: http://www.manorcourtfarm.co.uk
