Scenic and spacious site on a working arable farm in the Kent Downs
Canterbury, Eurotunnel services and ferries within 20 minutes' drive
Spacious pitches with direct access to local walks; dogs welcome

Perhaps you’re travelling to Kent to spend some time exploring the area known as the ‘Garden of England’, or you just need a stopover before heading across the Channel. Maybe you’ve got the whole family with you, or your partner and dog – or you’re on a little solo break. Whatever kind of Kent camping break you’ve got in mind, you’ll be very welcome at Blandred Camping. You’ll be in an excellent location for both local jaunts and onward travel when you stay here – this spacious site is part of a working arable farm within the Kent Downs National Landscape, and you’ll be able to get straight out onto local footpaths for walks and bike rides to see some of your scenic surroundings. Despite the peaceful rural vibe on site, this is a very handy Kent location – Folkestone is about 10 minutes’ drive away, or you can reach either Canterbury or Dover within 20 minutes. And, of course, that means that cross-Channel ferries and Eurotunnel trains are very close by for those heading over to France. Sticking around on this side of the Channel? There are plenty of great days out nearby, whether you’re planning to take in the coastline, explore historic Canterbury or treat the kids to a day at a safari park. A bus stop at the end of the lane has services to Canterbury and Folkestone; routes that also handily stop outside a couple of favourite local pubs. This is a simple site, but the facilities (hot showers, flushing toilets and a cold-water washing-up area) are nicely maintained, and there’s plenty of space to pitch up and play games. Campfires and barbecues are welcome, but no music, thanks – this is a peaceful kind of place.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, clean, and well-maintained campsite, ideal for overnight stays before or after ferry crossings. Guests praise the spacious pitches, friendly and helpful staff, and the new, immaculately clean toilet and shower facilities. The on-site micropub is a popular bonus. Some guests noted the lack of hot water at washing-up sinks (since rectified) and occasional noise from fellow campers. Access can be tricky for larger vehicles.

Sept 2026 Peter S. 1 review

Electric grass pitch

Liked Neun Sterne für den nachts idyllischen Campingplatz, sehr nette und hilfsbereite Platzwartin, Toiletten und Duschen im top Zustand.
Lage ideal um Fähren in Dover zu erreichen.
Pud in direkter Nähe.
Grauwasserentsorgung umständlich (in Eimer ablassen, teilweise über den ganzen Platz laufen müssen, um an einziger Stelle mit Chemietoilettenentsorgung auszugießen).
1 Stern für die Beschilderung bzw. für fehlenden DEUTLICHEN Hinweis zur Anfahrt:
Der Weg zum Campingplatz ist mit Verkehrsschildern (nur für Fahrzeuge unter 2m geeignet) beschildert.
Daher schickte uns (auch bei anderen Campern !) das Navi über einen Weg (Hoad Road) der wirklich später so eng wurde, das wir kaum noch vor und zurück kamen und die Seite unseres neuen Wohnmobils stark zerkratzte 🥺
BITTE UNBEDINGT auf Ihrer Internetseite darauf hinweisen, dass man den Campingplatz von der A260 nur über die Reece Lane anfahren darf und soll, um künftigen Campern die gleichen schlechten Erfahrungen zu ersparen, die wir gemacht haben !

Disliked Fehlender Hinweis zur richtigen Anfahrt des Campingplatzes

Electric grass pitch

Liked Good sized pitch. Friendly welcome. Good toilets/showers/washing up facilities.
Great location for LeShuttle.
Nice touch to be able to hire fire pits/wood although not available whilst we were there due to recent hot weather.

Disliked Need more showers for the size of the site. Had to wait 20 minutes for shower.

Local attractions

Canterbury (20 minutes’ drive) is a special city that’s always worth a day out, whether you’ve been before or not. The cathedral, Roman Museum and Canterbury Tales exhibition are top picks for first timers, but there are lots more attractions beyond those – perhaps the Beaney House of Art & Knowledge, or an afternoon of punting along the river? Down at the coast, take a wander around Folkestone (10 minutes) to find all its outdoor art installations and scoff seafood at Folkestone Harbour Arm. You can also paddle or build sandcastles at the town’s Sunny Sands beach, or head along to Dover (20 minutes) for the castle and the famous white cliffs. For a family day out, meet exotic animals at Wingham Wildlife Park or Port Lympne Safari Park, or take a ride on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway – all are about 20 minutes’ drive away.
