Just wondering if anyone has ever camped there

 
I have done about 5 trips there and love the place. OK it is a taxi ride away from me ( don't have a car) but it is still a great spot. The site is heavily wooded and you get your own "corral" to pitch up in. There is running water, loos, showers and cooking wash up area. They do not allow you to bring your own wood as it is on a SSSI nor to forage. We were there last summer and was told the site was full up..... still beautifully quiet. It is £20 per person per night but it is London prices. Each corral has its own fire pit and table/ 4 seater , the sort you find in pub beer gardens. If you drive there go via a place called "Snodland" the roads are so much better.
Any thing else you would like to know?
 
Yep I've been there too and can heartily recommend it. The only downside is the price is a bit hefty, but a lot of nearly wild camping or glamping sites seem to be doing that at the mo to capitalise on the UK focus for holiday makers.
It's a lovely woodland though with the North Downs Way very close by.
