ROUNDOAK FARM is a working farm that focuses largely on breeding of rare breed sheep including Hebridean, North Ronaldsays and the very rare Boreray sheep, we also keep rare breed cows, including Vaynols, White Parks, Irish Moiled and Highland Cattle. It is set in the heart of the Kentish countryside, south of the county town Maidstone, on the southerly slopes of the Greensand Ridge overlooking the beautiful weald of Kent. The mainly grassland farm now consists of approximately 180 acres including 5 acres of natural oak woodland at Sutton Valence and a further 50 acres at our sister farm, Kings Oak, which also has a commercial campsite, just a mile or so away in Ulcombe.

Roundoak
We spent a few peaceful days enjoying watching the farm animals from our camper and the birds (especially the little owl) in the woods. Friendly and helpful hosts who find time for you even though it is a working farm. Always a sociable atmosphere, everyone was invited into an outbuilding to watch the Euro matches on a large screen. Showers, kitchen and toilets all very clean.
cold wet January
Roundoak
Just got back from a weekend at this amazing site,the owners are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. Every where we walked we were saying that's a good idea or wow that's nice , the woods are wonderfully set out there's a hot tub and fire pits ,nicely placed benches to sit and watch the sun going down. The showers had a really good pressure on them and nice and hot.
Yes the weather was cold but the warmth of the welcome soon warms you up. And WOW the sausages and burgers are really meaty and taste like a sausage should.

Tight access
RoundoakArrived at this site for a 2 night stay to a friendly welcome but to be told on that night there was a party in the woods and they hoped the noise would not be too bad, well it was and from 4pm to 10pm it was very loud and intrusive. This should not be the first time you find out about disruption of this type. We use cl’s because they are quiet. The access road is very tight and of poor quality with few passing places, so every time you go out you have to run the gauntlet with oncoming vehicles. The site itself is a good size with electric points well spread out, the all grass field is flat and is kept reasonably short but the clippings are left which means the caravan gets full of grass. The shower is first class but at £2.50 each per night it should be. Good security gates gives a reassuring feel.
Perfect 10 days
Roundoak
Just returned from our ten night stay at Roundoak cl. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Beautiful setting with lots to see and do in the area. Norman and Ruth were the perfect hosts, welcoming us when we arrived, being friendly and attentive whilst we were there. The site is completely secure with keypad gates. Facilities are first class. The sunsets from the site are breathtaking, as is the wildlife. Access road is fine if negotiated with care. All in all a great site with wonderful hosts. However, we shall miss 'Fin' the sheepdog the most. His enthusiasm for life made us smile. Thanks again Norman and Ruth and we shall return.
Great stay
Roundoak
We spent 2 weeks on this site to explore Kent and enjoyed it very much. Very welcoming owners who were happy to spend time giving advice on where to go/what to see. Great wood to walk around and bird spot. It was very interesting to be shown around the highland cows and sheep they keep on the farm. You can also buy some of the meat from the animals.
There is a very short single trac road to get there, but there are passing places.
