 Fabulous site great for kids. We had a really nice fenced off pitch smack bang in the middle of the site near the farm house. Fire pit and make shift log benches added to our enjoyment. Firewood is onsale from the farmhouse shed and always a plentiful stock.
Toilets are clean and always had loo roll. The farm has chickens which the kids can feed and Sarah - the site manager allows them to go in with her at feeding time and to collect eggs. This is a really beautiful part of England with lots to do.
We took advantage of the daily hack at Ashdown Forest Riding school and the archery at Bedbury. The hare is a great pub that is a must at least once.

Just back from a long weekend at this site to celebrate my birthday. We were looking for a peaceful rest and we certainly got it!
Set in the heart of Kent and just minutes away from Tunbridge Wells you really feel as if you are in the middle of rural solitude.
Miles of dog walking in the surrounding area and plenty of space to stretch out.The pitches on the main field are certainly generous.I suppose we were lucky with the weather being the beginning of October but even if it was howling a gale I am sure the very helpful owner would do her best to find a sheltered spot.
Pubs? the Hare at Langton Green was the only one we visited and can recommend the garden for dog owners.
Shops? Tesco express and Sainsbury Metro in Tunbridge wells for food and the chip shop just past Sainsburys for great fish-n-chips and of course the Pantilles if you fancy a bit of upmarket retail therapy!
Must also give a mention to the Farm shop on the Groombridge road.Hand made meat pies! and fresh asparagus when in season.
To sum up.My kind of site! relaxing atmosphere,very helpful owner,plenty of space,who cares about cockerels making a noise its a farm after all! enjoyed watching the fowls running around in their gangs being bossed about by the lone turkey
Did I mention the fire pit? everybody gets one and what fun.Another way for me to burn food.Went for a walk and collected chestnuts then roasted them on the fire.Mind you the smell of chestnuts did remind me of Xmas and I found myself eyeing the turkey in a different light!
Downsides? The toilet block has been mentioned for only having limited loos and one shower each.We never found it a problem and I believe that work is to be done on them over the winter.The Wife did say that she would have liked somewhere to have a wash in private if she just wanted to do her hair.
And finally.The cess pit! a handle welded to the lid would be useful.Thought I was going to drop the lid into the underworld at one point!

We have just spent 4 wonderful days at this most outstanding campsite. We got a warm welcome from the people that run the site. The toilet/shower block were very clean. The site is situated on the A264 which can be noisy at times. Plenty of attractions in the local area that are comfortable driving distances away.
The camp site has breathtaking views and nice walks to pass the time away. Although it was not in the hight of the season we were given an option of where we would like to pitch out tent, which was a nice touch.
I would highly recommend this site and cant wait to go there again.

Spent four nights here and overall was impressed with the site.
Sarah was most welcoming and couldn't do enough to help, which was lovely. We pitched in our own little area behind a barn which was great in as much as we weren't overlooked by anyone but we didn't have much of a view - just the back of a barn, a fence or a storage area! The big plus point to this site is that each pitch has a fire-pit which is just fantastic! If only all sites offered them. We were never shown the rope swings that others have mentioned but I'm sure my children would have loved them had they known where they were as there isn't much else to do on the site for them.
The kitchen area had washing up sinks, fridge, microwave and power points and was absolutely fine but the toilets/showers were just about adequate. There are only two toilets and one shower and the shower was always dirty from the person before. Also there are no separate basins to brush teeth etc - I don't particularly like standing a few inches away from someone using the loo - and as the site has lots of outbuildings (some being rented out), I think a more suitable and well thought out facilities block could be offered.
The road that runs past the site is a little noisy but not too bad but the aeroplanes are very noisy! It's ok in the daytime and I actually liked watching them but listening to their roar in the early hours of the morning, isn't so much fun.
All in all, we enjoyed this site but mainly because of the fire-pits and the warm welcome we received and we would consider returning again.

This was our 2nd visit to this site. Enjoyed it even more than the 1st. And have already booked to go back a 3rd, and plan to visit next season too at the request of our 2 boys as they enjoy it so much. They had much fun on the 2 rope swings and riding there bikes around.
Sarah is very friendly and helpful and works very hard to keep facilities clean, and is a credit to the site.Site feels very secure as has keypad entry at gate to gain entry.
Many lovely walks accessible from site, groombridge place approx 1hrs walk through fields and woods and also a nice pub to grab a pint and a bite to eat. Also lots of local attractions to visit.
What really makes it for us is the use of your own fire pit next to pitch for open fires and experimental cooking with our new tripod, cast iron pot and Dutch oven. Baking bread, and hearty meals in the open air, yum yum! Not forgetting toasted marshmallows too!
Cannot wait for our next visit.

This was our first visit to the site. What a delight-Sarah was extremely helpful at all times.
Our Pitch was 1/2 the size of a football pitch-and the open fire was a great feature.
The toilet block on site is small but is modern, clean and does the job.
The surrounding area is great-whether you want to just enjoy a walk from the site, venture a little further away to explore the lovely villages or jump on train and go to London.
No matter what your requirements I'm sure his site has something to offer all.
Will definitely return!

Just returned from camping here in a mixed group of 'vans and tents. We haven't visited for two years but the whole place looks very nice and tidy now, and more elec hook ups have been put in. The loos and showers are spotless. Although only two loos and one shower per gender we didn't have to wait, as only a certain amount of people are allowed to camp at any time. We love all the areas tucked away in nooks and crannies and our party had the old tennis court with a large fire pit that we cooked on in the evenings, then sat round with a couple of bottles of vintage Burgundy looking at the stars.
On Saturday we took our friends' kids and our dogs on the Spa Valley railway at Tunbridge Wells and went to Groombridge, then back to High Rocks and had a drink at the pub. A little shopping in Sainsbury's, which shares a car park with the railway, then back to the site for flame-grilled duck and a cheeky little Italian red.
The site is very relaxed and informal, but can be a little noisy at times due to the road and 'planes. We were not really bothered and it is quieter in the main field, where we camped before. Sarah is welcoming and helpful, and we hope to return next season. Keep up the good work!

A lovely site. We were in the field with fire pits,super views.Pitches are dotted all around the farm buildings, some more secluded than others.
Excellent for dog walking, especially down through Burrswood and the same named hospital where you can visit Bockys Tea Room(dog friendly in the garden),and enjoy lovely snacks and meals and a glass of wine looking across beautiful gardens, highly recommended.
We visited The Crown At Groombridge, but did not eat, seemed expensive and The Chafford at Fordcombe, a shorter walk, and enjoyed a good lunch and good rea ales.
Wonderful dog walking within the farm boundaries also.
The chemical toilet disposal is rather basic,a flattened iron bar to lift the manhole directly into a cess pit, a wrong step back and never to be seen again, what a way to go.
Toilets and showers clean and adequate, we did visit mid week and never queued but this may not be the same when the site is busy.
Sarah who runs the site is friendly and helfull happy to give directions for walks etc.
At £8 per person per night +£3.00 for hookup it is a bit pricey,
This is a nice site in a good location, especially for dog owners,i will certainly visit again in the near future.

We stayed at this site for a couple of nights in July. On arrival the site looks great and has some great views. A couple of secluded pitches were a good idea too.
Our pitch was on a 1:3 slope (probably not quite that bad) and remember to take loads of extra tent pegs.Your going to need them ! There are wooden tables and chairs provided which are very handy.
Big downside is only 2 toilets and one shower for each sex although they were very clean. I never went to the loo or shower once without having to queue up and that, to us, was a joke.
All in all its a really nice site but was spoilt by the lack of facilities. Also you will hear cockerels early in the morning.

A very unique campsite. You can pretty much pitch up where you want, a good few pitches are spread close to the farm buildings which are sheltered 1, 2, 3 tent pitches. Some of these are fairly close to the road, hence why we chose the field to pitch our tent. This was great for our boys with plenty of space to run around. Both the field and sheltered pitches have fire pits, which seems a rare thing these days.
There are beautiful views of the surrounding countryside from all around the site.
The lovely village Groombridge is within a comfortable hours walk across fields and through woodland. There are a few shops, and the Crown pub,which we ate at with our kids. Good food and friendly service.
The only possible inconvenience would be that in busy periods you might have to queue for the toilets or shower as these are limited. ( 1 shower and two Toilets per gender ). However, it wasn't an issue for us as we camped at a quiet time.
