Little Nash Woods Camping

View prices & book Last booked one hour ago 10 90 reviews

Family-friendly camping in a 16-acre Kent woodland near Canterbury
A 15-minute drive to Howletts Wildlife Park; Sandwich Bay 20 minutes
Campfires allowed; pubs and shops five minutes’ drive

What’s it to be – a back-to-nature experience or a camping break near lots of family attractions? Actually, there’s no need to choose between the two, because at Little Nash Woods Camping you can have both. Surrounded by Kent farmland near Canterbury, the pitches here are hidden away in a 16-acre woodland filled with wildlife (tread quietly and you might spot dragonflies, toads, owls and rabbits) and are seriously peaceful. Yet they’re within half an hour’s drive of the beach, zoos and a historic city… and the list could go on. Little Nash Woods is all about a stay that’s got the relaxed vibe of wild camping, but with the added bonus of spacious bathroom facilities with hot showers, flushing toilets, a family shower room, hairdryers and phone-charging points. Please note that cars are not allowed on site, but wheelbarrows are available for you to wheel gear to your pitch. How to spend time on site? Perhaps explore the woodland, borrow the badminton set from the owners or plunder the books and games for rainy-day entertainment – and you’re welcome to bring dogs along to share the fun too. Barbecues are allowed, so pick up goodies for the grill at the farm shop (five minutes’ drive); alternatively, take a stroll to a local pub (there are a couple within 40 minutes’ walk) if you’re having an evening off cooking.

Rabbit non-electric earth tent pitch (seven person)

Liked: Great location, really relaxed, and feels like you have the woods to yourself even when you know you haven’t.
The communal space is also awesome, and the kids loved it.
Plus you can hear lions from the nearby safari park which adds to the experience.

Nightingale non-electric earth tent pitch (eight person)

Liked: We thought the service and campsite was excellent. The camping area was spacious and beautiful. The communication from start to finish was second to none. The campsite itself was well run and very clean. What can I say other that we would definitely come back .

Disliked: It would have been nice to have a portaloo close to out sleeping area as we have young kids and quite far away from the toilets.

Bumblebee non-electric earth tent pitch (four person)

Liked: The whole site is well set out, tidy, really clean and has such a welcoming feeling.

The owners Simon and Toyah both made an appearance and n several occasions to ensure our stay was comfortable and we had everything we need.

The site also runs an honesty system for supplies so you're free to help yourself and pay before you leave which we really liked.

Fox non-electric earth tent pitch (six person, woodland)

Liked: Well set up campsite. All the pitches were in the woods, separated nicely. Each had its own good size area with a specific place for a fire. Nice to have a communal area with games.

Disliked: The toilet block was mixed and only had 2 sinks. This felt a little crowded when people were using the bathroom to get ready, brushing teeth/ using mirrors etc.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Ladybird non-electric earth tent pitch (four person)

Liked: The owners were lovely and helped with anything we needed or any questions. the pitches are far apart enough that you don’t really see anyone unless you are on the communal paths or areas. Shower/ toilet block is good, although i don’t think more than one person can use the showers at once. definitely would stay again as the location is also ideal!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks so much for your kind review. So sorry you had a struggle with the showers, wish you would have mentioned at the time, as we would have been happy to look into this for you and check for an issue. Best wishes LNW x

Local attractions

Plenty to do in these parts – so where to start first? Animal-mad families can see some of the endangered species in the breeding programme at Howletts Wildlife Park (15 minutes’ drive) – including elephants and gorillas – roaming in spacious enclosures. Energetic types can have a go on wake boards pulled on a line at Whitemills Wake and Aqua Park (five minutes), get out on the River Stour for boating adventures from Canoe Wild at Grove Ferry (10 minutes), or play golf on one of the three courses overlooking Sandwich Bay (20 minutes) before having a splash in the sea. Young kids might like to collect fossils and build dens at Betteshanger Park (15 minutes), while rides on the vintage rollercoasters at Dreamland Margate (25 minutes) will hopefully keep teens smiling. For less raucous ways of spending a day, tour the modern art at Margate’s Turner Contemporary (half an hour), or stand on the spot of a famous medieval murder at Canterbury’s famous landmark cathedral (25 minutes), visit the wonky bookshop at Sir John Boys House and admire the plantings in Westside Gardens along the Stour.
