A note from the site themselves...

Lower Goldstone Farm is a historic family run farm. Opening up some of the land as a campsite has been championed by the younger generation to breathe life into the way the farm is run, to showcase elements of it to a wider audience, and to build a sustainable future that isn't just all about cattle and crops.

We hope to welcome you soon,

Alice and the team

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Great site, was welcomed with a big smile, site quiet and clean. We had a lovely 2 nights stay, if you need anything done, Dave was more than happy to oblige. We had friends visit last night and we all had the delicious burgers from the onsite van, followed by a coffee this morning as we left. Well done and thanks.

Amazing site, make sure to visit

I really enjoyed my stay at Goldstone Camping. The toilets and showers were sparkling clean, the fridge freezers were useful. Dave, who lives on site was friendly and helpful. The location is ideal for exploring beaches, seaside towns and Canterbury.
