Westover Smarden

The morning chorus echoes across open Kentish farmland here, where mist lifts slowly from hedgerows and the scent of wood smoke occasionally drifts between pitches. This is proper countryside camping, with views stretching toward the scattered orchards and oast houses that define the Weald of Kent.

Westover Smarden suits campers seeking simplicity and rural immersion, whether you're touring the Garden of England in a motorhome or pitching your first family tent. The village of Smarden itself—one of Kent's prettiest—sits nearby, while you're well-placed for exploring historic market towns, vineyard trails, and the gentler corners of the South East that reward slow exploration.

Facilities keep things straightforward with essential toilets and showers serving tent, caravan, and campervan pitches across the site. Campfires may be permitted, so check the current policy when you arrive. The atmosphere leans peaceful rather than packed with activities—this is a place where the entertainment comes from evening skies, birdsong at dawn, and the particular stillness that settles over working farmland after dark.
