Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

I will start this review with the negative things about T and J campsite. Despite being under a mile from Bedgebury Pinetum, if you want to go biking there it can be dangerous as you have no choice but to go on a busy A road. The bathrooms are okay, while having only used the men's, the 4 showers had lots of spiders and ran on a push system where you have to push a button for water every 10 seconds. Cleaning the campsite could be better, next to where we set up there was rubbish from previous campers. Now all of the good things. The pricing was extremely reasonable at 60 quid for 4 adults to camp on a non electrical pitch. The onsite shop was extremely well priced, with Asda Custard Creams for as cheap as 70p. When we bought firewood on one of the nights, the manager drove it to where we had set up camp since we were all on bikes. The mowing around the site is maintained very well by a very cool blue tractor. If you have a car, then it's very convenient to get to Bedgebury Pinetum. The staff are very relaxed and friendly, I felt very welcome to be onsite. You're allowed to have campfires which is epic. Lots of space and not that busy so you can have a kickabout or go in the park onsite and play basketball! Overall - A road next to the site can be annoying but if you have a car and set up far away enough, it's fine to be honest. Very friendly staff, very well priced and well maintained, besides the spiders in the men's showers.
