What a place! Thank you Deer Park Campsite, T-Cell group will surely be back.We were celebrating a birthday and we figured that camping was a fun yet cheap way to get together and celebrate our friends birthday.There was a huge group of us, and we were kindly pitched together. The campsite itself has a lot to offer despite being a very sustainable and small campsite. It had showers and toilets up at the main reception area, whilst another toilet near the 'Meadow' campsite. Overall, we had an amazing time and we just want to say a huge thank you to Colin, who was the team member there in charge of doing everything, he took care of us, made sure we felt comfortable and we even invited him a couple of times to eat with us and try Filipino food. We were very blessed and lucky to have had the lovely hot weather on our side that weekend.Colin really made us feel so welcome and always answered our queries.A couple of days after our checkout - a group member said he might have dropped his phone in the campsite whilst packing up. Of course, one call to Colin and an explanation of what the phone looked like, he said he found it and was happy for us to come and pick it up (We were local, so it wasn't a far drive). It also gave us a chance to take a peak at the cafe that was situated by the main area.I can't fault the accommodating person that Colin is and I am sure that our experience would have been very different if it weren't for his level of service to our group.Again, Thank you Colin. God bless you!Love from T-Cell Group.

Stayed at Deer Park last weekend & had a great time. Colin thoughtfully allocated pitches by the woods since he guessed (right) that our kids would love playing there in the dens.Colin was friendly during our stay & when we got home I realised one of the girls had left something in a den - after phoning Colin, he went out his way to go and look for the item and found it - my daughter is over the moon.The campsite was perfectly located for our weekend activities, we enjoyed seeing the deer & evening camp fires with marshmallows!Thanks for a great stay.

This is a lovely campsite near Tunbridge Wells with plenty of delightful walks and sights within a walk of the campsite.We were down in the Meadow as we were just two people. This meant we were very far away from the flushing toilets, showers and washing up area. However, it was very peaceful and quiet as the other areas closer to the amenities were aimed towards groups and families.The facilities were excellent. The toilets were clean, the showers were hot and powerful as they were electric. This was much appreciated on a sweaty weekend!!Unfortunately the cafe was closed on our weekend visit but it looked lovely.We walked to Eridge Rocks and The Neville Crest and Gun pub which were both brilliant and around a 30min walk from the campsite.My only criticism of this site was how long the grass was. It was ankle deep which meant that our shoes/feet/dogs were soaking wet from about 9pm until the sun was hot enough to dry everything out the next day. We weren’t the only people who complained about this, and the guy at the site wasn’t in control of the schedule. With short grass this would have been perfect!

Just had a lovely 2 days here. Site is spread over 2 areas surrounded by woodland all very peaceful. Facilities were excellent with good clean showers, loos and washing up area. Colin was very helpful and ran a very efficient and organised site. If you don't feel like making breakfast the nearby cafe does a great one and delicious coffee, a great asset to the site. We will definitely be back.

We chose Deer Park for first camping weekend and what a great experience we had!Colin, the site manager, welcomed us and gave us a great pitch situated at the edge of the woodlands. Throughout the weekend, he frequently checked in with campers to make sure we're were happy and had everything we needed.The site itself is very well maintained, with an ablution block nearby to shower or wash dishes. A fire pit is provided and fire wood can be purchased from Colin.An independent café is also situated by the entrance of the campsite which serves delicious breakfast and lunch - including a great kids menu.Deer frequent the campsite in the late afternoons and the woodlands offer beautiful paths and trails.Overall, Deer Park offers campers a quiet and relaxed camping experience, excellent value for money and just enough comforts!We'll be back soon - thanks Colin!

We stayed at Deer Park for two nights as a couple in their 20s. Colin, the site manager, who greeted us was friendly, helpful and hilarious. We were slightly late booking in, and it wasn’t an issue at all. The site was very quiet and surprisingly spacious with more than enough room for our tent, car, and (eventually) a fire. We didn’t even realise there was another field until our second day! The cafe was a lovely touch and super busy with non campers. Fire pit was provided and wood can be purchased which was a lovely end to the day. The toilets and showers were clean as can be. And the showers were very hot!We had a lovely time and definitely plan on returning with some more friends!! Thank you Colin for making us feel welcome!!

Beautiful campsite in the heart of the countryside! Had lunch at the local pub which was very nice and had delicious food. Facilities were great and very clean, had an amazing time making fires in the evenings and there is a lovely forest around the campsite. Colin THE MANAGER was the best, played cards with us and is a very nice guy. Will definitely come again!

We just had a great weekend at deep park. The pitch was spacious and very peaceful. Easy to find and access. Toilet and shower facilities very good. Great open field in the middle for kids to play without fear of escape. Such a relaxing great vibe. Cafe was a great bonus for our last morning breakfast before heading off.

The campsite was in a lovely location - it was very secluded and quiet. We were even lucky enough to see some deer! The facilities were clean and the stay was very comfortable. Special thanks to Colin The Manager for making us feel extra welcome and tolerating our poor poker playing skills. We will definitely be coming back!

We spent two nights at Deer park Eridge. Colin the site manager was fantastic, he made it a brilliant experience for our family. Colin is friendly, informative and always willing to help. Everyone around the campsite was commenting what a lovely bloke he is and how much he made the campsite fun. He Put all the families with kids near each other so they could play. Look forward to seeing you all next year. Fantastic campsite.
