  • 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 well-maintained, quiet campsite offering spacious pitches and beautiful countryside views. Visitors praised the exceptionally clean toilets and showers, with hot water. The on-site Blue Silo micropub was a highlight, offering food and live entertainment. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. While most guests had a positive experience, some noted a lack of facilities such as grey water disposal and a limited number of showers when the site is busy. The site is conveniently located for the Eurotunnel.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked We had the most enjoyable camping weekend and can't wait to return!
There was a choice of both electric and non-electric pitches, all set against beautiful countryside views. The site has everything you need, including bins for rubbish, a washing-up station with hot running water, fresh drinking water, and toilets and showers that were cleaned daily to an exceptionally high standard.
Fire pits and firewood are available to purchase using an honest self-payment system, with every penny helping to support the farm—a lovely touch.
The sunflower field was stunning, and the clear, starry nights made for the perfect camping atmosphere. Having the Blue Soil Micropub on site was an absolute dream, with live entertainment creating a fantastic evening atmosphere. There was also a food van serving delicious food and plenty of seating to relax and enjoy it all.
An information leaflet was provided with local bus routes and sightseeing ideas, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. The team were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always available to help with anything we needed.
There was so much space for the children to run around, explore, and play safely. The site's quiet hours from 10:00pm to 7:00am were well respected by everyone, making for peaceful nights.
Overall, this is a wonderful, well-run campsite with a fantastic atmosphere. We'd definitely return and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing family camping getaway.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked I was welcomed on to the camp site, and the person was very helpful. I had a non electric hook up as this was not required and positioned my set up at the furthest point, which gave me the option of an adjacent pitch for my son when he arrived.

Disliked The fact that I am getting older and require more frequent bathroom visits during the night and the pitch I selected was the furthest point from the toilets.

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.
