The creak of a pub sign, the low hum of conversation drifting from leaded windows, and the Kent orchards rolling away beyond the paddock — this is camping with a proper country local at its heart.
The Plough Inn suits campervan and caravan tourers who like their pitches simple and their evenings sociable, tucked into the gentle Faversham countryside where hop gardens and cherry orchards still outnumber housing estates. Electric hookups are available, dogs may be welcome by arrangement, and you're genuinely camping behind a working pub — the kind of spot that rewards anyone who prefers a hand-pulled pint and a menu board to a shower block and kids' club.
Facilities are straightforward: electric points on site, and the pub itself covers food, drink, and likely loos. Campfires might be allowed depending on conditions and season, so ask when you arrive. The vibe is unpretentious and grown-up, ideal if you want an easy overnight stop or a quiet weekend base without the regimented feel of a formal campsite. Expect grass, the smell of hops on a warm evening, and the satisfaction of walking twenty paces for last orders.
