Yes it does . It was a great site. Not as remote as Blackberry, and unfortunately, road noise was a bit of a surprise, but the site was excellent. Very clean facilities and good washing up area. Use of a washing machine, microwave and fridge if needed. Free range eggs available.

Fire pits for each pitch and bags of logs for sale were reasonable. Fires were surrounded by chairs and logs to sit on, and can be recommended with a cup of coffee and a bottle of rum if it is raining (as it was for 2 nights we were there!).

There is a key code to get in and out of the site which was good from a security point of view, and the owner was very friendly - if a little obsessive about recycling (as she was seen going through the rubbish bags to sort others recycling out), but at least she is environmentally friendly.

A few birds and foxes around, but not much in the way of wildlife, however, you are close to Penshurst Place, Groombridge Place, Finchcocks Museum and Pooh Bear country, so plenty to do if you have more energy than us (who just wanted to sit and vegetate for a few days).

I would recommend both campsites even though they are completely different. Having looked at other campsites that allow fires in Kent - I think we have been to the best 2.

Thats the idea.
Thanks for the review. Just one more question, does it have trees there that you think would be suitable for hanging hammocks between, I like to sleep in a hammock with a tarp over me, if it looks like rain....

There are one or two areas that may support a hammock, but best thing is to phone and ask. We have a 1970's large Frame Tent, so we don't really need hammocks

I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be
sorted out because it is about the individual but it can be with
everyone.
