Ideal location for Chatham Dockyard and the Medway towns

We initially booked this site for 3 nights, but managed to book an arrival a day early. The entrance to the site is easily missed so it is advisable to have the directions to hand as we overshot the turn off down the lane first time round. The main road through the village leading to the CL can be tight as well due lots of on-street parking to contend with depending on time of arrival. Fortunately we drove through with no problems. We had stayed at the site many years ago and have to say we noticed a vast improvement in that there were no ducks/geese/chickens running around anymore - they all had their own fenced off enclosure, so no more avoiding the birds and indeed their droppings! Being in a motorhome we drove round a few times trying to find a level-ish area to pitch ourselves. In the end we opted to go just round the corner from the black waste area - and was later told by the owner it was probably the best place to pitch. The grass itself was very well kept - as was the owner's garden (where we had to go to post our payment and deposit our rubbish). The site is ideally situated to visit the Medway towns of Rochester and Chatham. We cycled to Rochester intending to visit the castle, but it was closed to the public due to a music festival (if you can call what we heard music) - so we cycled further afield and visited Upnor Castle instead, before cycling back to Rochester and having a look round the town and the cathedral. The weekend was spent at Chatham Dockyard's Salute to the 40s. We drove the motorhome in both days and had absolutely no trouble parking. Speaking to the owner he was really interested in our 1940s ventures and told us how he and his wife regularly visited Whitby for their Gothic weekends - so we recommended to him the Steampunk Festival in Lincoln.
