About Halfway Caravan and Camping Park
Halfway Caravan and Camping Park is a small, family-run touring site set in open countryside between Tenterden and Bodiam, close enough to the Kent and East Sussex border that guests often cannot quite say which county they are camping in. Its size is part of the appeal: a modest number of pitches for tents, touring caravans and motorhomes keeps the atmosphere calm and unhurried, without the queues or noise that come with larger holiday parks.
The facilities are kept simple and well maintained rather than extensive: electric hook-ups are available on the touring pitches, and a clean shower and toilet block covers the basics without any pretence at luxury. There is no shop or bar on site, which suits campers who prefer to bring their own supplies or make the short trip into Tenterden or Bodiam for provisions, and there is no swimming pool or organised entertainment, leaving the emphasis firmly on the surrounding countryside rather than on-site diversions. Dogs are welcome, and the quiet, adult-friendly feel of the site makes it popular with couples and older campers in particular.
Bodiam Castle and the southern terminus of the Kent & East Sussex Railway are a short drive away, as is Rye with its cobbled streets and Cinque Ports history, while Tenterden itself and Chapel Down vineyard are barely ten minutes by car. It is a useful, low-key base for anyone wanting to explore the Rother valley without needing a large campsite's worth of facilities.
