23 Forstal Road, ME20 7AU, Aylesford
Been here?
A large car park near shops and walking routes, beside a busy daytime road. It was previously free, but ticket machines now make daytime parking chargeable and it is free between 2000-0800. An entrance barrier prevents access for taller vans, while recent overnight stays were described as relatively quiet and safe. The original description mentions 4G internet and suitability mainly for small vans.

Spent a couple random nights here, pretty safe and relatively quiet at night. However ticket machines have just been installed so parking is now chargeable during the day but free between 2000-0800.
A barrier at the entrance to the car park: no access, van too high. I did not have time to see the exact height of the barrier.Translating
A good one ruined by those using this car park as their home. Cheers, height barriers now in place!
Barriers and signs now in place. Well done to those who abused this location.....Translating
How sad that van lifers take advantage and use the same location continuously . 2m Height barriers due to be installed this week to stop overnight van parking
Due to over use and massive vans turning up taking up multiple spaces and running generators the local council has decided to fit height barriers. Thank you everyone.. this is now ruined for the local van lifers :(
As a campervan owner and local to the village, it's disappointing to see that we have on average 4 van owners who use the carpark every night clearly taking advantage. It's now been reported height barriers are going up. Once again a great location has been abused by individuals staying far too frequently and upsetting locals.
Good place to stay for the night. Free car park, by the side of a busy road. Parking spots slightly short so we overhung a little bit. Car park felt very safe as lots of CCTV cameras.
Good little car park for anything up to 23 hours. No charges. May be a little tight for a long wheel base van or motorhome but if you’re lucky enough to get one of the parallel parking spots then you might be ok. Next to road but it’s pretty quiet after 11pm. Aylesford Village is historic and well worth a walk around to see the medieval bridge, old architecture and friary. Nice pubs too.
Quiet, decent place to park for one night. Must be really secured as some old classic cars were parked. Did not noticed anybody sleeping overnight, no toilets. A bit of a cars noise from the nearby small road.
Convenient place for one night!Translating
Parking close to the town and a children's playground. Spaces are slightly sloped, and there is a lot of noise from heavy traffic nearby. But ideal for one night ;) Thanks to the municipality.Translating
The post code takes you to the east car park, failed to get in due to cars parked on the access road. Due to pathetic access the east car park has 1* but deserves zero as you can't get in with a camper. a small car probably can. if you did get in (no cars on road), good luck getting out, as bet your life there would be cars. The nearby west car park has no such issues and rates a 5* rating.
quite quiet after 11pm a bit tight to turn around. lots of cars parked feels safe. some road noise but nothing too much for me
Good little stop. Friary down the road worth a visit. We actually stayed in the car park over the road - easier to manouver a 6m motorhome and less noisy behind a line of trees from road
