The camping pitches at Palace Farm are spacious, level, peaceful and campfire friendly. The site has clean facilities, friendly owners and a pub within walking distance. What more could any canvas-loving camper ask for? This is simply camping done well in the Kent countryside, less than an hour’s drive from London.
The campsite’s flat, grassy field holds up to 25 tents around its hedgerow edges with the centre left free for games and general haring around. Three pre-erected bell tents provide the slightest hint of camping glamour, but even these offer a simple set up: mattresses provided, a cookbox available at an extra charge. Showers are hot, loos are clean and logs are available to buy on site. And there's a sensible quiet-time policy too which means everything falls quiet around 10pm. All in all it’s good, honest Kentish camping with no pretensions to be anything else.
In addition to the good old-fashioned fun of camping, it’s the location in the Kent Downs which makes this place stand out. There’s a pub with a beer garden, a day out at Doddington Place Gardens and a farm shop all less than a mile from here. On top of all that, the moated Leeds Castle and the medieval town of Faversham are within 10 miles of your pitch, historic Canterbury and seaside Whitstable are just a little further.
Busy days, quiet nights. Life’s good at Palace Farm.
