Kent glamping breaks

 

City slicker, beach lover or country mouse? Whatever your favourite holiday vibe happens to be, Kent’s got you covered. Whether you’re heading for the beach for family fun, after a couple’s break with a touch of luxury, or looking for a cosy retreat from unpredictable off-season weather, Kent has a glamping option that’s right for you – especially if you fancy an outdoor break without putting up a tent. 

So if you like the sound of watching the sunrise from the comfort of a proper bed, or warming up in a hot shower after a country walk, read on to find the Kent glamping site that’s right for you.

Where you should stay in Kent

  • Thinking of taking an out-of-season glamping break in Kent? Most attractions stay open all year round, so wrap up warm to pay a winter visit to Howletts Wild Animal Park near Canterbury or half-timbered Ightham Mote, and look for glamping sites that allow campfires so you can all keep cosy on any chilly days.

  • When your holiday plans include getting out along the North Downs Way on foot, or cycling along the Crab and Winkle Way to Whitstable, you’ll be wanting a hot shower – or maybe even a hot tub – in your cosy base to ease away any aches or pains.

  • Whether you’re hiking on the Weald of Kent or splashing about on the beach at Broadstairs, there are plenty of ways to include the family dog in your travel plans. A simple search for dog-friendly glamping in Kent will show you all the places where your pets are welcome. 

  • Need to keep the kids entertained on a family glamping break in Kent? Look for sites with an indoor pool in case the weather turns chilly, or base yourselves within easy distance of attractions like Rochester's Diggerland Kent or The Hop Farm Family Park near Tonbridge.

  • Meanwihile, if you're escaping to enjoy some couples’ time, use our filters to look for adults-only glamping sites tucked away on Kent farms or close to the coast. If a lively after-dark scene is more to your taste, look for a base around buzzy, seaside Deal or near the theatres in Tunbridge Wells.

What you can do in Kent

  • If you’re planning a glamping break to Kent off-season, you’ll need a few suggestions for rainy-day activities. Keep kids amused on tours of Chislehurst Caves or indulge your arty side with exhibitions at Margate’s Turner Contemporary. 

  • Kent has miles of coastline to be explored, from the shingle expanse of Dungeness beach to the bucket-and-spade fun of Viking beach in Broadstairs. Head to Whitstable to sample oysters fresh from the sea at a hip beachfront food shack, or get out on the windsurfer at Westbrook Bay. 

  • Go on a Kent castle tour. You’re spoilt for choice, with adventure playgrounds for the kids and castle tours for parents at moated Leeds Castle, or WWII tunnels to discover at Dover Castle, up on the landmark white cliffs. And at stately Knole, you can easily spend a day getting lost in antique-filled apartments and landscaped gardens.  

  • Visit Canterbury Cathedral, with its Gothic spires and jewel-cloured stained-glass windows, plus the shrine to Archbishop Thomas Beckett, murdered there in 1170. There’s lots more to Canterbury too, from revisiting the Middle Ages at Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales to cosy pubs for leisurely lunches overlooking the River Stour.
