 This is our first Caravan Club site and we were very pleased. Good size pitches on hard standing, they also have some serviced and grass pitches. We stayed for five nights, we did hear some road noise but it didn't bother us at all. The site is very clean and is handy for visiting the area. This site would be very handy for a nights stop over if travelling to or from the channel crossings.
We made a visit to Maidstone using the Park and Ride which is about a mile from the site.
Bearsted has one of the best Chinese take away we have ever tasted, lovely!
The only thing we would have liked to have seen would be another toilet block, as the one they have is a fair way from the far side of the site.
We would visit this site again.

We were a bit dubious about this site because of the comments about road noise however we were very pleasantly surprised.
The site is as you expect of Caravan Club, neat and tidy, good and helpful wardens, all facilities available and working (really nice showers!)and the pitches were well spaced giving privacy.
We could hear the road and railway but after a short while you didn't notice it any more and it certainly didn't disturb our sleep. Might be different if you were sitting outside but being December we didn't do this.
Easy to find and very well placed to explore the local area and beyond.

Quiet clean and well maintained site. Wardens couldn't be more helpful and friendly. Usual caravan club standard with well thought out facilities. Only criticism is position of toilets and showers being close to reception so not central. Only a small one as the site is not that big.
The road noise other people have mentioned is easily ignored after a few minutes. Will visit again.
Ps. Make sure you follow the instructions as the entrance is immediately after a left hand bend and the sign isn't obvious. Sat nav will try to send you into a farm on the right.

We stopped on our return from France, with a touring caravan, we were allocated a pitch within the grassed area, not the easiest for levelling!. We experienced some traffic noise but not enough to cause a disturbance. The toilet/shower block was absolutely pristine, a credit to the wardens as is the general upkeep of the whole site. A perfect stopover if you need it, but also a good position for visiting the area.

A couple in a motorhome, we found this site to be at the usual high standard of Caravan Club sites.
Picked fresh ripe cherries from the trees in the park. Saw rabbits and grey squirrels in the morning.
Wi-Fi is available using the Caravan Club voucher scheme. Good speed and signal strength.
Amenities blocks spotless, with everything you need.
Reception staff friendly and helpful.
Definitely recommend.

This has to be the best site in the caravan club we have visited. The wardens are absolutely fantastic they could not do enough for you and the site is beautifully kept with the showers and toilets spotless. We really can't praise them enough they do an excellent job. There is some noise but nothing that bad that would make you want to leave.
We stayed here one night on our way over to France and liked it so much we decided to stay 3 nights on our return to the uk.
There is so much to do in the surrounding area that we hope to visit again for a longer.

Having just returned from France on Wednesday 17th July all I wanted was for somewhere to have a peaceful rest for one night. What a mistake I made in choosing this site.
Firstly, I arrived a 5. 30pm and the office was shut, another caravanner was also waiting to book on. There was no sound or response from ringing the bell. Finally the warden appeared from his caravan, stood at his gate and believe it or not he asked what we wanted and why neither of us had rung the bell. He sent his wife, who was very pleasant, to book us in. I was allocated a pitch in the central grassed area and this was on quite a slope, having a long van didn't help in the awkward levelling process.
Secondly, as some other comments have said, the noise from the nearby M20 and Eurostar rail line was in my opinion horrendous. Being the main route to and from the Dover ferry port heavy lorries could be heard all night. A very hot and sticky evening was made worse by having to shut the van windows to try and deaden the noise, it didn't work. The main road outside of the gate was a bit of a race track for motorbikes. All in all this site does not live up to the 'Peaceful' quote on their handbook page and I feel members have been let down by the club in not being accurate with the description of this site. As for the site, yes it was very pleasant and was spotlessly clean. The toilet/shower block was exemplary and a credit to the wardens.
My summary of this site is, give this site a miss if you are a light sleeper or want somewhere quiet. Quiet it is not.
As a footnote. A German couple arrived at 8. 15pm after a horrendous journey across London and were told the site was shut. The wardens were sat out on their patio. It would have taken only a few minutes to let the couple in. The overnight arrivals area was on an extreme slope and they had great difficulty levelling their van. The lady whilst talking to me was very upset. From the comments of her husband they will not be using a Caravan Club site ever again. What poor customer relations.

Just got back from a weekend at this campsite.
We stayed there as we were going to an event at Leeds Castle.
When we booked this we did hope to walk from the site - but it is actually to far, and on Roads I would not want to walk on, but it was a short cab ride that cost us about £5. 50 (the site will give you the number for the cab firm). I am adding this info in case anyone else is looking at this site for the same reason - thought it might be useful!
We didn't really notice any noise from the Roads, but then we didn't sit outside much as we were out and about doing stuff.
The site is beautifully kept, although I did feel some pitches were a bit to close together in the middle.
The general facilities are clean and top notch, and although I am not disabled, I did get to see both the disabled toilet and the shower (I notice these things as I have a disabled relative), and I have to say they really were excellent 11 out of 10 on that one!
As there is nothing within walking distance and I personally prefer sites where pitches are some distance apart, I am not sure I would go there for a weeks holiday, however, I would definitely go again for a weekend or if in the area.

Dont let the distant rumble of thunder put you off. Its only the Eurostar dashing through the Kent countryside on its way to the continent. It's not the only thing going abroad. I'm quite sure that many visitors to this site are using it as a stopover to or from a foreign adventure.
I hope they realise that this site is spot on in many ways other than a one nighter. Close to Chartwell, Leeds Castle and Kent County Showground, there is plenty to see in the area and Bearsted provides a lovely space to return to after your days out.
Up to and beyond the usual standards of the Caravan Club even down to Classic FM as an accompaniment to your shower in the morning.
I heard hardly any traffic noise on my long weekend stay, the only thing that put a dampener on things was the deluge on the Saturday that resulted in a few, mine included, flooded pitches.
Pity there isn't a pub close by as I'd be there so often they'd invite me to the staff Christmas bash.

To Find Site:- Leave M20 at junction 8, Maidstone. Take A20 and at roundabout follow signs to Bearstead. The campsite is a few hundred yards along road on left.
Bearstead Caravan Club site came in to the network around 2008, having previously been a commercial site. Non-members are accepted. There are a mix of grass and hardstanding pitches with some of the hardstanding ones being fully serviced. There is only one waste disposal point which is centrally situated on the site.
There are additional water taps placed statically around the campsite. The main site facility building is at the site entrance and contains reception, toilets and showers, laundry and dish wash. In the laundry is the information points.
The toilet/showers are kept immaculate and are of an excellent standard. Reception sells a few essentials. Television reception is classed as poor but the electric bollards do have a TV hook-up. There is site wide Wi-Fi. There is not much on site for children except a small playground in on corner of the site.
This site is an ideal base for exploring this part of Kent. Leeds Castle is almost on the doorstep. Maidstone is only a few miles away. For shopping there are a couple of large supermarkets within 5 miles. For many this will be a stopping off point to and from the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone and the ferries at Dover.
