About Westover Smarden
This quiet site is in the heart of the Kent countryside, giving guests a rural camping experience. The site is set on a nine acre working farm and offers a peaceful adult only experience with basic facilities, ideal for nature lovers with views of farmland and the "Garden of England". Campers can pitch up on spacious grass pitches suitable for tents, trailer tents, campervans, motorhomes and caravans. The pitches do not have electric but have a drinking water tap nearby, as well as a chemical disposal point. The open field leaves ample space for vehicle parking by your pitch too. There is also the option of the onsite touring caravan which sleeps two if you don't fancy bringing the tent or don't have your own tourer. Equipped with bedding, one bedroom, a bathroom and a small kitchenette. Sorry, no pets. Camping and touring is available on a spacious open field, with the neighbouring field for strolls or even a picnic when there aren't animals grazing! This simple site is within easy access of Smarden village, just a 20 minute walk away with a great range of pubs and quaint village shops. The site is well located for exploring the pretty seaside towns of Rye and Hythe, just a 35 minute drive away. Or even visit the beautiful beach at Camber Sands, which is also dog friendly! Please note, it is advised that guests bring a torch with them, although there are solar powered lights to illuminate the facilities and entrance. Raised fires and BBQs are permitted, but open fires are not allowed. Well behaved dogs are welcome onsite for the camping and touring pitches, but not in the onsite touring caravan.
Westover Smarden is open from 01/04 to 29/09 in 2024 and from 17/04 to 29/09 in 2025.

We really enjoyed our stay. The small farm offers a large field surrounded by countryside. They have ducks in the pond and they sell the eggs! The owners are kind and friendly and helpful. The toilets are kept very clean. The beautiful village of Smarden is a short walk away. Nearest pub, The Bell, just a walk up the road. The countryside is amazing. A great place, kept simple.

We stayed here for 2 nights and it was lovely! Great location and the campsite has fantastic views. When we arrived we were greeted by the owners who were fantastic throughout and made us feel very welcome. Even though on one of the days we had rain we still enjoyed our stay finding other things to do around the area! Thank you for a great stay!

There is plenty of open space onsite for walks, or lots of nearby trails great for dog walks. Or, the historic village of Smarden is just a 20 minute walk away with an antique shop and great range of pubs.
For animal lovers the site is perfectly located for visiting the Big Cat's Sanctuary (10 minutes) to become a ranger for the day, or join a tour to learn about the conservation of the big cats. Or, why not treat yourself to a Paul Hollywood afternoon tea overlooking the Asiatic lion enclosure.
For the adventure junkies, the Headcorn Aerodrome (10 minutes) offers wing walking and parachuting! Why not treat yourself to a flying lesson and become a pilot for the day.
