Hi

The missus has asked me to find out if anyone is going to the above and camping? Or if you have been, what were the camping facilities like?
We havent booked yet, but considering going.

Cheers

I live in Kent,and have been to Detling for the Motorhome Show,camping is very basic,no electric,water taps plus show and toilet block,bit old but ok for a quick shower,better than the toilets at the Norfolk Grounds.
funsters were not far from the big halls were showers were.

Did not know this event was on,but might go myself,looks ok,it does say 9 to 5 pm and nothing about any camping,might make inquiries myself.

Hope this link works Eve. When in the paws in park website, click on buy tickets then camping appears as an option.mit appears to be £59 for a couple for two nights camping including entry to the show. Looking at photos the campsite seems to be in or immediately adjacent to the showground. Good enough for us

Sorry that should read £50 for 2 nights camping inc show entry.
Think we will keep an eye on the forecast and book nearer the time. You can book up to a week before the show.
It did state an extra charge for hook up. £35 if i remember rightly.

If you're in the CCC then there is a CS just down the road from the "show" campsite - Penny Spring Farm. It's £12-13 a night inc electric hook up. They've also got shower, toilet & washing up facilities. Basic but OK.

Not stayed on the CS but have stayed on the rally field there a couple of times when we've been to the Kent Show.

There's also Scraged Oak campsite that's owned (I believe) by the show ground; Good little site, with leccy etc. The toilet/shower blocks on the show ground are great...........normally plenty of hot water. (I'm involved in another show held over the Aug bank hol weekend at this site, and the showers supply of hot water is a godsend...............oh and the toilets always seem to have plenty of paper.......:whistle:(y))

Hi Eve
We have booked up for this now. The missus has an email from the organisers confirming that camping is on the showground amongst other details.
We are staying fri, sat and sunday nights.
If you decide to go and want to meet up with us and the pooch, let us know.

I tend to look at France,s weather for my little corner of Kent,as a few miles can mean a completely different weather down here:crying:

Hmm, NO; The county show a couple of years ago, suffered from the weather..............entrance/exits in car parks were VERY bad. Main site is old airfield, no real depth of soil covering,....just watch someone try and hammer in a stake :whistle:.
