A return to near we used to live but had no idea this place existed. It small bit perfectly formed in the heart of the beautiful Kent countryside. 100% going back. All the amenities you need and The Alma is a fab pub 5 mins walk away. What more could you want?

This is the third time I've been here and we'll be back again. The site is clean, well managed and suitable rural to be quiet, lovely walks nearby and not far from Faversham. We had a few lovely walks around Faversham plus we got the train to whitstable. Plus the pub nearby does good food. Thanks+++++

We've just had the most wonderful 3 nights camping with friends at Painter's Farm. One of if not the best campsite we've stayed at in 10 years of tent camping. Not big but perfectly formed in an orchard, superb friendly hosts, local pub (with great pizza), local to Faversham. Everything about the site is lovely, the little shop, the festoon lighting for the washing up, the right amount of toilets, showers etc, freezer, washing machine. Even the Elsan and bin area has been thought through and nicely presented with old farming equipment. Also nice to have the cars parked in the next door field. Would highly recommend!! No doubt that we'll be back.

What a great site not to big with a warm welcome. This really is a gem, set in countryside but very close to the village with its excellent pub, The Alma. There are footpaths directly from the site and the is a nature park just up the road from the pub with delightful woodland walks. Whitstable in about a 25 minute drive. The pitches are all in one area which is flat and although pitches are marked has a delightful informality set amongst the cherry trees. Cars are not allowed in the camping field and have to park in the adjacent area which is great as there aren’t vehicles buzzing around all the time. Facilities are all in a converted barn block with toilets, showers, washing up and a small shop. The showers are electric so no constant button pressing. When we were there in the week it was fairly quiet but apparently full at the weekend and I can understand why. Great place !

We loved staying at painters farm, its a smaller campsite in a cherry orchard! It has stunning sunsets and the most wonderfully friendly owners. The onsite services are clean, tidy and well maintained and the pitches are well maintained. It's a perfect location for visiting the local areas and events. Hoping to visits again soon.
