About Brook Farm
Brook Farm near Denstroude delivers a genuinely warm, family-run atmosphere alongside some lovely extras that lift it above the basic. Spacious pitches give you breathing room, while the on-site café and weekend wood-fired pizzas mean you don't always have to cook—a real bonus after a day exploring Canterbury's cathedral city or the nearby coast. Small farm animals keep younger campers entertained, and the peaceful setting suits those after a proper break from the everyday.
Pitch variety runs from non-electric grass to hardstanding and glamping cabin options, and campfires are welcomed, adding to the relaxed vibe. Guests consistently mention excellent value and helpful, friendly owners. It's open year-round, though be aware there's no Wi-Fi—which might suit anyone looking to properly switch off. A solid, welcoming base that punches above its weight.

What visitors say
This was our second time at Brook Farm & we absolutely love this place. The animals keep you entertained, the wood fire pizzas are ace & Tribe Café is excellent. As other reviews have mentioned yes the facilities are basic but they are kept clean & are better than you can often expect at rural farm campsites. If you want heated shower blocks then go & stay at a faceless caravan site! The Rural Retreat sauna & cold plunge is an absolute bonus. The owners & their colleagues are all lovely & you couldn't ask more from them.

Stayed here before, friendly enough owners and it was decent enough to return. We knew what to expect from the facilities - others have mentioned about the cleanliness - it is true, they could use some TLC. However, from what I understood, the last pitch up on site, is around 8pm. We had a couple rock up at 10:30pm, pitching up next to us, hammering pegs in and whatnot. I feel some feedback is due; kindly reinforce the site rules as it helps to make sure people aren't going against them, and if they do, ask them to leave. We weren't the only guests disturbed by this couple and whilst this situation isn't directly the site managements fault, it is their responsibility to make change. If set rules are in place, viewable clearly on the webpage and throughout the site, it would likely help alleviate this sort of issue. It's unlikely that we will return.

Stayed for 3 nights. Great location for Whitstable, Canterbury and the coast. A chilled out rural site on the edge of a wood. Pitches were a good size with free fire pits. Good choice of fresh stone baked pizzas available most evenings. Toilets needed a good scrub, especially the floors and walls. I understand it’s advertised as basic, but it should be clean, and the showers could do with some TLC.
