The Campsite
Romney Meadows Caravan & Camping Park is set in the countryside a mile or so from New Romney and Lydd. Awarded the Tripadvisor Traveller’s Award for 2022, 2024, and for 2025 the campsite is there in the top 10% worldwide which is impressive. It’s a relatively small site (which suits us) with around 41 hard standing pitches, 10 grass and 3 camping cabins.
It’s a campsite we visited for the first time 2 years ago, in fact the day after we picked up Maev! We thought we’d return this year in the hopes the weather would be a little better than our previous visit and luckily it certainly was! Naturally being December the site was very quiet with only 2 other motorhomes pitched up and they left on Sunday morning giving us the place to ourselves for 24 hours.
Our visit didn’t disappoint, the views across the open fields, the location for walking and catching a bus to nearby places, along with some of the best hot showers we’ve had at a campsite were all topped of by an amazing sunrise, clear blue skies and an equally impressive sunset on the Saturday we were there.
In short, we would certainly recommend this campsite, with Lydd, New Romney, Littlestone, Greatstone and Dungeness all within walking distance and Dymchurch accessible via the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway or bus.
New Romney
Littlestone to Dungeness Walk
Well, the day took us a VERY long way – by foot!
We jumped onto the local bus and headed in to New Romney, where we walked through the High Street.
We decided to walk to Littlestone, which didn’t look too far on the map. Considering its a week before Christmas, the skies were clear, the sun was shining and it was warm!
We got to the beach in Littlestone and decided to walk along and see how far we got. Other than Molly getting stuck in the worst, black treacle, smelly mud right at the beginning of the walk, the day was pretty perfect!
After we cleaned Molly up in a boat which had some rainwater in the bottom of it, we walked along to Greatstone, then we decided to keep going and see if we could make it to Dungerness.
5.3 miles later we were rewarded with lunch at the Pilot Inn – the perfect place to chill and relax. The light on this coastline is unique and its always special to spend time here.
After lunch we headed back to New Romney on the bus and then walked over the fields back to the campsite – via a pet shop in the town to buy shampoo for Molly so we could freshen her up!
Another perfect day in the van!!
