Date of Visit: April 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Mistyhewitt 1 review from this member

 Got lost looking for the site as didn't realise it was a scout camp. But welcomed by the guys who run the place and told to pitch up anywhere,

The site is large and we had a corner of the campsite to ourselves, overlooking the beach area. No shop on site but little shop in village 5 min walk away along with 3 decent pubs in the village and all very friendly.

The showers are lovely and warm in the Mens section ie Disabled showers etc.

Only slight problem was with the local friendly fox sniffing around. Would go back again.

 This place is great. Second visit, first since our little boy (nearly 2) has been around. Perfect location, with sea views for much of the site. Clean facilities, friendly staff, good price too. Camp fires in converted washing machine drums work great and keep you warm when the sun goes down.

Three pubs in town. Zetland Arms don't do child portions, but are child friendly. Nearest proper shops are in Deal (Sainsbury's, 3 miles). Local garage has a spar, pretty good selection considering, useful if you miss sainsbury's!

Our littlun could run around this huge site perfectly safely, which he loved. As the site is very open, you can always keep an eye on them.

Only thing is the showers (only 4) struggle for warm water when over-used. If you want a hot shower, get up really early!

 Highly recommended. Great wide space where you can choose seclusion near the woods or great view over sea to France. Pathway down to the beach is excellent for access and cycling along the coast to Deal and beautiful Sandwich Bay. Fire baskets make an evening and staff very sweet. I not sure I would have liked it if a huge scout group had been there but the site is so big that would probably not be a problem. Showers etc basic and fine.

 We stayed for one night, and can echo what everybody else has said, the staff were very friendly and welcoming, and helpful.

It's a big site and we were probably a hundred yards away from the next tent so it was quiet and private. The toilet block was clean. You can collect firewood from the surrounding woodland.

This was my children's first night camping and they want to go again, being able to have a fire had a lot to do with my choice to stay here and would definitely stay again.

 Arrived early afternoon. Made welcome by the guys in the office, very helpful with information on the area. Had a lovely pitch with great views of the English Channel and the ferries coming in and out of Dover.

Toilet block was kept clean, showers the same. Very good value for money, just £5 per person, per night! Good location to go into Deal, where you will find the supermarkets and a lovely town. There is a small shop in the village of Walmer which is 5 minutes walk approx from the site.

There are some lovely walks to take near the camp site. There is an old Rifle Range along the bottom of the cliffs which is very interesting. Beaches are lovely and quiet and don't seem to get too busy!

You can go fishing off Deal Pier for £4.50 per rod, and there is a cafe on the pier to keep you refreshed with Tea! All in all an ideal place for camping for however many nights you wish to do so for! Would recommend this site to anyone who enjoys camping!

 This was a last minute booking, but they still accommodated us. On arrival, the staff were friendly and welcoming.The site is set on the top of a cliff with a very gentle dip towards the sea, resulting in a fantastic view of the Channel from your tent. The area is roomy, clean and very pleasant with plenty of greenery and child friendly. The toilet block was clean and well maintained. The fire boxes are a novel but brilliant addition. A great break, made all the better by a good campsite.

 We gave the site a try for a quick weekend break as it's only 15 miles from home. What a nice surprise! the staff are very friendly and helpful and the site is superb. It's sheer size ensures you will never feel hemmed in and the views are awesome. We sampled both the beach and coastal walks in our short stay and found both lovely. The toilets and showers are basic but were clean and not busy at all during our time here. The Kings head pub is only a short walk away and serves good food. This is our type of site and we are already planning a large family group trip here in 2011 in addition to more weekend visits for us.

Reviewer: Katiespitfire 3 reviews from this member

 Brilliant site, we used their indoor accommodation for 6 nights and the staff are just the best we've ever come across. We had some problems with noisy neighbours (Bank Holiday) and it was dealt with efficiently and they also offered us a partial refund.

Have only dropped them a star on facilities as the showers were a bit 'drippy' but it really wasn't a problem. Also like that they encourage everyone to recycle! Brilliant.

Clean,easy to find, gorgeous views.Big supermarket in Deal only 10 mins drive, the pub in the village (Kings Head) was really friendly with a good range of real ales.

Will definitely visit again and have recommended it already.

Reviewer: Buzzrightear 3 reviews from this member

 This is a great site - huge, stunning views over the sea and very helpful staff.

The toilet blocks are clean but basic and hot water is iffy.

Fire baskets are £6 a night but well worth it, with as much wood as you can carry from one of the storage areas. Borrow a saw or axe from the staff to chop it up a bit. They're incredibly warm at night and you do need them as the wind can get pretty chily.

We ate at the Rising Sun which was a mistake. We tried the Zetland Arms the next day which was a lot better.

Be warned: They only take cash at the campsite and we couldn't find the cashpoint in the village although people claimed there was one. The walk to Walmer castle is flat and lovely (about 40 mins) along the coastal path.

 I spent a very pleasant couple of nights at this site this week, the staff were welcoming despite me arriving after dark, the facilities were clean and plentiful,there was plenty of hot water in the ablutions block, the lights of France are visible across the channel, the setting is beautiful too,I will definitely consider staying again if I am in the area.
