we arrived early as the m20 was on lockdown due to dover being closed , this means all traffic on the m20 has to leave the motorway to enable lorries to park up waiting for the road to open up again . so we were 25 minutes early and waiting in the car we were then approached and told the site office is closed and will reopen at 1pm .... the warden then said we have been told to send you away if people turn up early ! he then turned away got in his car and drove off. not the welcome we expected!
about 15 minutes later the other warden opened the office and we booked in ... later that afternoon the warden apologized for his abrupt manner but unfortunately this was not enough to entice me to return to this site. we have been to this site many times and have been members for approx. 40 years and i can only say ITS NOT THE CLUB IT WAS.
i have asked my auto renew membership to be cancelled and we will be looking at other places to spend our money
Top site
Alan and Dee are very helpful. We have our van stored on site and had a few issues with it, namely battery and mover. Alan was more than helpful with assisting. Nice clean site. Great for a getaway.
Many thanks
Mr Vehicle Assessor!!
Thanks for the tips Alan
Second time staying here, nice clean safe site the wardens are a dream very helpful in every respect, we would especially like to thank Alan for his tips for us newbies with regard to condensation and avoiding blockages to air vents below windscreen plus how to avoid locking yourselves out of your motorhome.
The road outside is rather a busy one and you can sometimes hear the traffic, but it doesn't cause a nuisance.
You can walk into Bearsted either directly along the main road where there are garages & tesco express & convenience store, also a pub/restaurant or otherwise turn off toward Bearsted Green where there are other outlets, this would take approx 30-35 minutes.
One of our favourite sites
Bearsted is one of our favourite sites, and we have stayed many times, 4 times this year, most recently for Christmas/New Year. The location suits us perfectly, the site and it’s facilities have always been immaculate, the pitches well maintained and well spaced, and the site managers are lovely people, friendly and ever helpful. Even their Christmas decorations put a smile on our faces.
We have already booked for another visit when the site re-opens in March.

Great weekend break with special training for our dog
Lovely weekend at Bearsted. Good location to visit our motorhome dealer and meet up with friends. Huge added bonus...Alan helped us train our dog who always whines when I leave him. He taught us a method to stop the whining which worked wonderfully and meant we enjoyed a very peaceful pub meal with friends during our stay. It feels like we’ve bought home a different dog. He’s a quick learner we just needed Alan’s expertise. Huge thanks.
A regular haunt of mine
This is a lovely smallish site in a great location. Not far from the M20 for those heading abroad and right next to Maidstone with all it's attractions. Alan and Dee are super hosts who cannot do enough to help. Not only with caravanning ins and outs but you may even get expert help with dog handling if you're having problems. That's if there's time between all the tasks that are done to perfection. The toilet block is excellent and it's always a friendly site. So much so that I am a multiple repeat visitor. The building work is nearly over and hasn't been a disturbance to me although you can sometimes hear a bit of traffic noise if the wind is in the wrong direction but it is rare. A great place to stay which is why I keep coming back. Thanks guys. You make it special.
Lost one star for the odd bit of raod noise and as I haven't got kids I can't really comment on the family bit.

Lovely friendly site in the countryside
As first time caravanners the wardens could not do enough for us giving practical advice and support. Have already booked our next visit. Lovely small site in the countryside within easy reach of lots of attractions including Leeds Castle, Mote Park, Canterbury and NT properties. Immaculate toilet block.
Helpful and great site
The staff were very helpful and the site is very well kept. Great location. Only negative is that when the bathrooms are being cleaned there is no spare one to use.
Brilliant stay
My wife and I stayed 24 Oct 21 - 27 Oct 21. We both loved it quite a small site but exactly what we wanted. The Wardens were excellent both very knowledgeable and friendly, felt as though we had known them for years and not just met them for the first time. They keep the site in a superb condition and very clean. We like to use local buses which this site was very useful for Maidstone and Ashford Retail Outlet.
We will definitely use the site again if we are back down that way.
First Time Newbies
This was our first ever caravan stay with a van we collected 3 weeks ago. The wardens were outstanding in assisting us with our stay. Alan and the team went above and beyond, helping me reverse onto our pitch, giving all sorts of tips and hints to make caravanning a far more enjoyable experience.
Outstanding facilities kept immaculately clean and customer service that was first class.
Without their help and expertise our first trip may have been our last, but with renewed confidence we can only thank Alan and the team with all our hearts.
We will be back again! Highly recommended site. Thank you Alan and team
