  • Peaceful site in the Kent Downs, 20 minutes' drive from Canterbury
  • Within a half-hour drive of Dover, Folkestone and Ashford
  • A mile from country pubs; woodland walks next to the site
Folk looking for a place to flop before or after a foray to France may well find Little Lynton Acres a most handy location – it’s less than half an hour’s drive from the ferries at Dover and Folkestone, and 20 minutes or so from Ashford’s international train station linking passengers up with European cities like Paris, Brussels, Marseille, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. It’s recommended that you don’t try to move on too quickly from this spacious, peaceful site in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, however, for there’s plenty to keep you busy nearby, including country walks, trips to the coast and days out in Canterbury (20 minutes’ drive away). Those seeking a spot to stroll can, in fact, wander straight out into the woodland just next to the site, and there’s also plenty of space around the place for kids and dogs that need a place to run about in the open air. This site is also a mile from the villages of Stowting and Stelling (and, perhaps more importantly, their pubs). Facilities at this simple park include toilets, showers, drinking water and a chemical disposal point.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, well-maintained campsite with friendly owners and spacious pitches. Visitors frequently highlight the clean facilities, convenient location for Le Shuttle and Dover, and the child-friendly woodland play area. While described as basic, the amenities are considered more than adequate for short stays, with communal fridge and fire pits being popular features. Access roads are noted as narrow, and some found the facilities limited during peak times, but overall, guests appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and value for money.

Liked Good grass campsite, clean facilities, friendly owner. Very spacious, all pitches are round the edge of the field leaving a very large area in the middle for playing. BBQs and fire pits available

Disliked No WiFi (though it said it could be provided on request)

Emily D.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely little campsite. First time trying our new car tent and it was really quiet onsite so had plenty of room to get used to it. Facilities were clean and tidy. Loved the whiteboard with things to do in the area.
We had our 2 dogs with us and the walking field was great for them.

Disliked Only 1 shower which was fine because it wasn’t busy but if there were more people there’d probably be abit of a queue.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Very large field and basic facilities. Excellent for the price and only a 30 minute deive from Dover port. Payment can be made on-site using a Summup QR code.

Disliked None really; it's a very basic campsite (only one shower and two toilets, all unisex), so there can be a line in the morning.

Liked Large pitches, small site, easy access, clean facilities. Fridge, freezer and plugs available for general use.

Disliked Only two toilets and one shower. Although the site is very small if full it would be difficult to get a shower.

Harriet Q.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked We stayed here for one night as it is near LeShuttle. The site was very peaceful and beautiful. Good, clean facilities and the owner was lovely and friendly. There was a field where our dog could run around and get some exercise.We will definitely stay again en route for the European continent.

Disliked There was nothing that we disliked about this place. It was a good experience!

Local attractions

Craving the coast? Head to the long, pebble shores of Hythe (15 minutes' drive), an especially scenic place on a sunny day, for a bit of beach time. Kent is also a cracking spot for keen historians: visit the traditional city of Canterbury for its cathedral and Roman museum (20 minutes) or factor in a few hours for moseying around the maze and gardens at the spectacular 12th-century Leeds Castle (35 minutes). And if you're seeking yesteryear-themed tours focusing on a different era? Flit over to the Kent Battle of Britain Museum to roam among the remnants of more than 700 crashed aircraft from WWII. When travelling with tiddlers who don’t do so well during historical explores, try an animal attraction instead: critters of all sorts are scattered throughout the area, including at the Port Lympne Reserve (15 minutes), a breeding sanctuary housing rare and endangered creatures, and Howletts Wild Animal Park with its giant anteaters, African elephants and gorillas (20 minutes). Farm animals are to be seen at Druidstone Park (half an hour), which also has adventure playgrounds for the kids, while the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Light Railway (also half an hour) is a fab family attraction whisking riders through the local countryside on an old-school locomotive.
