About Fallow Fields Camping at Lathe Barn
If you're looking to unwind in the stunning countryside and experience a truly fun camping experience, then this family friendly site is for you. It's only ten minutes from the seaside town of Dymchurch and close by to Port Lympne Reserve. Camp on one of many grass pitches, complete with campfires to cook on by day or keep warm by night. These spacious pitches are allocated, so please make a note if you wish to be set up next to friends. The fully-furnished bell tents have everything you need for your getaway! Sleeping four, these are complete with a memory foam double mattress and two futons, camping equipment and twinkly fairy lights. There are also ten part-furnished bell tents available if you'd rather make yourself feel at home with your own belongings. These are equipped with beds and flooring. Dogs are welcome. The kids will never be bored here with a free children's cinema, a weekly 'welly wanging' competition, onsite games as well as arts and crafts sessions. Barney's Play Barn is an indoor soft play area where the adults can supervise. For the grownups, there's yoga, archery and axe throwing. You can stock up at the camp shop, which is full of essential ingredients for your own fry up and proper coffee.

Everything was spotlessly clean and the staff were lovely, and very helpful. We took advantage of both the pizza evening and morning breakfast - the pizza was a winner! We had a small baby with us so didn’t make use of the kids facilities but there was loads for them to do.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review Leah! We take pleasure in reading about our customers experiences and are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your food and will make sure to pass on these lovely words to the rest of our team. We hope to see you again; maybe when your baby is old enough to join in with our activities, if not before!
Great for families, not so much solo

Lovely staff, beautiful location. Great for families with young children, not so much for solo/couples. Very noisy, some pitches very close together. Kept up most of the night and woken up very early by children. If you're going as a family or a group, it would be great - seem to mainly cater for children but also dog friendly.

Thank you for your feedback, Karen. We are glad that you enjoyed the service provided by our staff as well as the location of our site! We apologise about the level of noise on site. Our quiet time is from 10:30pm which is explained to all campers when booking their stay, as well as when checking into the site. Our staff also do a walk-around at night to make sure noise levels are low, however we understand that some of our customers do disobey these rules. Although it is infrequent, we do sometimes receive resistance to this request, however, we will continue to explain these rules to customers, ensuring we provide the peaceful environment we know our customers enjoy. We are also sorry that you felt there was little for solo/couples, we are a family friendly site offering lots of activities and amenities for children and adults alike. However, we will take this into consideration.

Things to do on site and in the Dymchurch area
There are plenty of activities to keep the whole family entertained. Onsite, bushcraft sessions are available for both kids and adults, from archery, to fire lighting and axe throwing or for the more sedate yoga on most Saturday mornings.
Every Sunday morning, welly-wanging is available for everyone to take a turn, and throughout the school holidays, in the barn there are screening films, every Saturday and Wednesday's in the school holidays.
When it isn't a private cinema, the barn has indoor games, including a table tennis table, fooze ball and kids soft play area are perfect for outdoor activity.
And there's a lot more to explore offsite! Steam from the trains at Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway is visible from the campsite. This station is only a short walk away, making it easy to take day trips further afield or to explore the visitor centre.
The Port Lympne Reserve for rare and endangered animals is only a ten minute drive away, too!
