About Oak View Holiday Park
Oak View Holiday Park sits on Scragged Oak Road near Detling, on the slopes of the North Downs above Maidstone, with the M20 and the Kent countryside both close at hand. It is a well-kept, family-friendly touring park that has built a loyal following among caravanners and motorhome owners for its high standard of facilities and its genuine welcome for dogs.
Pitches are available for tents, both with and without electric hookup, and for caravans and motorhomes on a mix of hard standing and grass, along with space for trailer tents; a high-specification shower and toilet block is kept to a good standard throughout the season, and a fully equipped laundry room takes care of longer stays. Dogs are explicitly welcomed as part of the household, and the site even provides a dedicated pet washing area, a detail that says a lot about how the park is run. Fire pits and wood-burning stoves are not permitted, though gas barbecues and camping stoves are fine.
Detling itself offers a village pub and the Kent County Showground nearby, while Maidstone's shops, restaurants and Leeds Castle are all within easy reach by car. For visitors basing themselves here for a Rochester trip, the castle and cathedral are around twenty-five minutes away by road, making Oak View a practical, well-run choice for touring families who want solid facilities alongside genuine North Downs countryside.
