We arrived after a very trying journey. What lovely wardens who sympathised, suggested suitable pitches and cheered us mightily. The weather wasn't great - cold, north wind and even heavy frost one morning. But the site is so clean and welcoming and the wardens so cheerful, kind and helpful - who could be downhearted. From the warm, clean toilet block with radio 2 to cheer your morning (OK, I don't listen to it at home either, but it's very jolly on a grey day), to the flowers and immaculately presented site - Bearsted does the Club proud. The road noise becomes far more noticeable if the wind comes from that direction, but that didn't spoil our trip. Only slightly sour note - with one exception, these were the most unfriendly caravanners we have met in a long time. No chatting over the washing up here. Still perhaps the weather got them down. We had a great stay and managed to visit quite a lot of the Kent coastline. And many thanks again to the fabulous new wardens.
What an Excellent Welcome
Good location on what is a beautifully maintained and managed site. Our only complaint, being country bumpkins, was the noise from the nearby M20 Motorway. The welcome we received could not be faulted and this friendly atmosphere continued throughout our stay. It is a great base for visiting the many NT and other local attractions. Can highly recommend the Park & Ride facilities in both Canterbury and Maidstone, however there is a bus stop right outside the site that will take you into Maidstone. A very enjoyable week helped by some brilliant weather.
Great site for visiting Kent
The site was lovely. Very clean and very friendly wardens (thanks). This was our first time to Kent and was a great location for visiting many attractions (Leeds Castle with 25% discount for club members and lots of great. National Trust locations).
The only slight down marks were for something the club can do nothing about and has been mentioned before, motorway noise. Apart from that lovely stay
Return visit 21/4/17
We always use this site at the start and end of every season, and in between. Always friendly wardens and absolutely nothing to complain about. It was a nice surprise this time to find that we were able to choose our own spot! Fish and chips always an added bonus. New wardens enhanced our stay. Old wardens were very friendly but new excelled.
Excellent small site
We stayed here on the 1st night of our visit to the UK.
We were met by a friendly and helpful chap who showed us to our pitch and gave us useful local information.
Ideally situated on the A20 just off the motorway it's easy to find and access is great.
Clean, tidy, friendly, everything I would expect from a club site.
For me the best choice if using the Ferries or Channel Tunnel.
So clean
First time to this site (we normally do CL's) the facilities where immaculate so fresh and clean and welcoming. New Wardens were so helpful and making a real difference in ensuring the site looks like new (e.g. detailed cleaning by hand of the block brick path around the office and facilities).
Thanks also to them for listing the local churches in the area.
New wardens
We have visited this site many times in the past, always spotlessly clean facilities & a well kept site. There is always some noise from the M20 & the trains to & from Paris/Brussels as they are both quite close. Apart from the child's playground there is not much to do for children. There is also a dog area at the bottom of the site. The new wardens were very welcoming, had a great sense of humour & a pleasure to meet. Keep up the good work guys.

Relaxing time away
We always use this site as our first port of call, after the winter. This year we had a new caravan to get use to and this is the ideal site. Particularly like the bus stop outside the campsite, so the car has a rest. Very good shower block and always hot water. Very nice new wardens.

Excellent site
Have visited Bearsted a couple of times now and it has become a favourite. Well laid out site with top notch facilities for both caravans and motorhomes. Location is great with buses stopping right outside the site into Maidstone or further afield. The M20 is only 5 minutes or less away so driving to other locations in Kent is quite straightforward - the only downside is that there is an audible background roar of the motorway at the site, but only in the open air, not in your unit.
There are local walks advertised in the information hut which we have not had the opportunity to try out, but they look to be straightforward for a stroll in the Kent countryside.
