Hever Camping

Liked: A big open field where you can choose your site to pitch. Several showers, located in the field. A large facilities unit that is clean and well maintained, located in the yard next to the field. Wheeler's Wagon Cafe, which has food and drink available 7.30-5.30 - great value, decent coffee. The frappes and milkshakes are particularly good! The cafe is open to the public and locals use it - a good sign! Owners are friendly and helpful and there is a phone number posted for out of hours emergencies. The gate is locked at night and there is an access code you are given on arrival. Arrival time is earlier than many sites so lots of time to get set up and still have time to go out. Departure time is 11am, but can be flexible by arrangement. I felt safe as a solo female - I had booked Pond Field but it was empty, so they let me move my booking to Farm Field.
Fire pits and picnic tables are available to use around the field, logs and kindling can be bought at the cafe for a reasonable price.
The whole site is dog friendly, and there is a kids' play area in the field. Tent campers can park next to their tent.
I really enjoyed my mid-week break as there were very few other campers (between Easter holidays and May Bank Holiday) so it was peaceful and nearest neighbours were a couple of hundred yards away!!

Disliked: Some days there are planes overhead every few minutes, but not every day. Depends on Gatwick's approach vector that day. Some are quite low. Not an issue if you are able to filter noises out, but may be intrusive if you want peace and quiet. It didn't bother me, and it was only 1 day out of 3, but previous reviews have mentioned it.

Liked: The field has a lovely old-style atmosphere that we loved. The showers were really hot and didn't switch of until you wanted them to. The owner, Sarah, was helpful and friendly, running a wonderful cafe on-site that provided excellent food. Situated in a fabulous location we found the local pub to be a gem too.

Liked: The site was large with multiple fields. pond fields located a good walk through the woods. amazing area of Beauty all around

Disliked: can only speak for one location but the toilets felt the most crammed and tight space. They were not bad but somehow compared to other places it felt more tight. You could perhaps hear every action in the next cubicle. Bring some earplugs if your shy

Liked: A peaceful and well-maintained site, perfect for a relaxing countryside getaway. The atmosphere is quiet and laid-back. All the essential facilities are available and kept clean, including showers, toilets, and washing-up areas, which make camping here comfortable and convenient.
One of the standout features is the charming little playground that keeps the children happily entertained while parents enjoy the surrounding tranquility.
The location is absolutely fantastic—nestled in the beautiful Kent countryside, it's an excellent base for exploring historic sites. Hever Castle is just a short drive away, along with other nearby castles and stately homes. There are also plenty of forest paths and country walks in the area, offering opportunities for nature lovers and walkers to explore scenic trails.
Overall, Hever Camping is a hidden gem for those who appreciate nature, history, and a quiet place to stay. We've been there a few times and it's our go-to place for a spontaneous weekend camping for a night or two.

Liked: Quiet, big, empty, friendly. Lots of wildlife. Especially woodpeckers in the adjoining woods. Interesting old farm machinery and a jet engine (I think)!! Contrary to some previous reviews I found no excessive noise at all from Gatwick. Not sure what they're talking about.

Disliked: Cold where we were - but that can hardly be blamed on the owners. I should have looked more closely at where was likely to get most sun during the day before pitching. Big enough place to choose from.

Liked: Loved the peace & quiet in the pond field. Good site for nature lovers. Great showers in the farm field, good water pressure, nice and hot and clean.
Toilet block in pond field is a bit dated but always clean and does the job. Free fire pit and cheap bag of wood. Overall this site is great value for money, I will definitely be visiting again.
