One of the top CLs anywhere! An example of how it should be done. New this year is water at every site.

Perfect stay

Just returned home on 31.7.2020 from five nights at Forge Meadow Caravan Site - and wish we could have stayed a little longer. The site itself is small (just five pitches), in totally rural surroundings - and in a beautiful part of Kent. Lovely Rye and Tenterden are equidistant and the Camber Sands Beach easily reached in 20 mins drive (best in the late afternoon/evening at this time of year). We found a really super farm shop about 10 mins drive away (Gibbet Oak Farm, TN30 7DH). Highly recommend this site if you want an adult-only get away, with your partner and dog.

Fantastic CL

This Adult only CL is smashing, one of the best we have visited, long field with plenty of space between units, quiet and peaceful, overlooks field and trees, grass is cut and collected, very helpful information shed, OS walking maps to use, a bonus, there are lots of footpaths from site if you enjoy walking, the bus stop and village shop are a 15 minute walk away, buses go to Rye and Tenderden they go every 2 hours. We were there for 4 nights in May wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back when we are visiting this part of the country again, thanks for a wonderful stay Bub and Mos

All good

Its always a good sign when a site has as many reviews as this one. There were too many to read but I agreed with all those that I did read. I'll only add some detail that wasn't included in all of them. The local pub in Wittersham has closed but there is a movement to reopen it. There is a well stocked open all hours village shop in easy walking distance and a good bus service north to Tenterden and south to Rye and both are well worth a visit. Tenterden has a Tesco and Waitrose. Smallhythe NT property is less than an hour's walk through fields from the site. Lamb House NT in Rye also worth a visit. Bodium Castle NT is a short drive away. We didn't use the Bodium to Tenterden steam RW but it looked good. Appledore is an attractive local village. There is plenty of opportunity to explore by bike on quiet roads and off-road. The owners provide each pitch with a folder containing all the information you need and check you in on the evening of arrival. There is nothing to fault and its so peaceful.

One to Return To

We stayed on this CL for 8 nights during June. Don't really want to tell anyone else about it because we may not be able to get a pitch when we want one but that's not fair to the owners who work very hard to keep it in such lovely condition. This is an adults only site with easy access behind closed gates, with views across open fields where there may be horses grazing and also across a huge meadow with its abundance of wild flowers and grasses. Whilst we were there Mel mowed and picked up the grass on the campsite which was already in better condition than some sites we have visited. This is a great campsite for peace and quiet. There is a large meadow directly accessible which our dogs appreciated as they were allowed off lead as long as we picked up after them which of course everyone should! However, dogs must be kept on leads on the CL. At the time the grass in the meadow was quite high in preparation for cutting hay but a wide path had been mown all the way round for ease of walking. Mel welcomed us on our arrival and was non-intrusive afterwards although we could contact her if required as the owners live in a house adjacent. The campsite pitches are level, some have boundary planting; there are 3 fresh water taps throughout the site with an area for bins {which are emptied daily}, toilet emptying etc in a corner near the well stocked information hut. Grey water may be emptied into the hedgerow or used to water the trees. This CL is kept immaculate and is a credit to the owners. We have booked to go back later in the year.
