Why stay here ...

OFFERS*: Kids for £1 (aged 5-17) | Under 5s stay free | £5 refundable deposit

Elegantly sloping towards open farmland, Bearsted Club Campsite offers the tranquillity of these open fields, one of which is a horse paddock where equine enthusiasts can enjoy the proximity of these beautiful creatures.

Bearsted Club Campsite is conveniently located to explore the beautiful countryside of Kent, often termed The Garden of England for its lovely appeal. Nature lovers will find hours of pleasure exploring this famous English countryside whilst the campsite also gives you the opportunity to absorb the ambience of days gone by at the nearby Leeds Castle. For shopping, local treats and fun family attractions, the historic town of Maidstone is a short distance away and slightly further along the North Kent coastline the seaside towns of Whitstable and Margate never fail to charm.

If golf or fishing is what you most enjoy then this Kent caravanning site is ideal, with a beautiful golf course just down the road and Majors fishing lake about a mile away you won't be disappointed. You will also find a variety of National Trust properties within easy reach. A convenient bus stop is located at the site entrance for access to all these attractions. Nearby local amenities include several pubs, a petrol station and supermarket.

Great Team

Can’t fault the team who keep the sit absolutely tip top. Very welcoming on arrival and offered good local knowledge. Our only downside was the road and rail noise, but that can’t be helped considering the location.

Great location to overnight before Le Shuttle.

Long term residents

Just left this campsite, seems to us there were a few long term residents on site which gave the holiday a slightly depressing feel. We didn't sleep well, dogs barking all night. Toilets and showers were good, but sadly will not be returning here.
