Palace Farm is a small tent-only field in the Kent Downs at Doddington, a few miles from Faversham. It is run as a quiet campsite, so there is no amplified music and complete quiet from 11pm. Facilities are flushing toilets, hot showers and a washing-up area with no charge for hot water, plus a small freezer for ice blocks.

You can bring your own tent or rent one of three pre-erected 5m bell tents, each with mattresses, a picnic bench and a fire pit. Fires are allowed only in fire pits hired from the site and only with logs bought there; disposable barbecues are banned. A small number of dogs are accepted if booked in advance, but not near the bell tents.
