  • Scenic and spacious site with private woodland to explore
  • A 15-minute drive to Dover Ferry Port and Canterbury Cathedral
  • Dogs, campfires and barbecues welcome; walks straight from the site
Get set for time well spent in Kent – scenic seven-acre site Coxhill Camping is an excellent pick for folk looking to relax and/or explore. The grass pitches at this working arable farm are surrounded by mature trees, and there’s a rather fine 10 acres of private woodland attached to the site – with direct access making it easy for guests to explore. It’s a friendly place: families, couples, solo travellers and dogs are all welcome, and it’s a pick-your-own-pitch setup so you can choose the spot you most like the look of. Whichever one you choose, there’s plenty of space to spread out and to play games if you like. This is a particularly good spot for walkers, as there are paths running straight from the site and the local village of Shepherdswell is on the North Downs Way (also making this a good stopover option for those taking on the whole trail…). Other days out nearby might take you to Canterbury (including Canterbury Cathedral), to the White Cliffs of Dover or to the beach – all are within a 15-minute drive. And that proximity to Dover also means that this is a handy spot for those needing an overnight stay before/after a ferry journey; Dover Ferry Port is a 15-minute drive from the site. As for facilities, there are firepits to hire (with logs and kindling for sale) and you’ll have access to well-maintained flushing toilets, showers, a cold-water washing-up area, drinking water taps and grey waste/chemical disposal points. Shepherdswell, under a mile away, has a pub, shop and playground as well as a train station for mainline services (to Dover, Canterbury and London) and heritage rides on the East Kent Railway (the station also has a café).

What customers say

This is a peaceful, well-maintained site ideal for stopovers. Visitors praise the clean, modern facilities, spacious pitches, and the friendly, helpful staff. It's conveniently located for Dover ferries and Eurotunnel, with pleasant walks nearby. Some guests noted road noise and a lack of hot water for dishwashing, though most found these minor issues. A popular choice for its relaxed atmosphere and excellent value.

Top Field non-electric grass pitch

Liked Cleanest facilities I've ever experienced. Dishwashing area and bathroom were always spick and span, and also really usable, ie. hooks and a shelf in the bathroom, plenty of space for a parent and child in there too, and a great mirror and lighting for makeup.

The person looking after the site was staying with us in his campervan so we knew he was there if we needed anything, and he was super friendly and interesting. The 10pm to 7am rule was really enforced so we knew we'd get a good night of sleep.

The field has plenty of spare space for kids to play, and you can decide to pitch and the edge or in the middle of the field, which is nice for groups. It is very flat and ever so slightly sloped - not in a noticeable way, but enough to give us reassurance we wouldn't get puddles. It got very rainy but we didn't notice any at all. The grass was very well maintained too.

There's a nice 30mn walk to a farm shop through fields and a small forest, which was the perfect outing for us. There was also a co-op if you need anything. You'll need to take the car to find food in a pub. Plenty of them around but book in advance if you can, especially if you are a big group. There's an information sheet with a list of them you can pick up when you arrive.

Disliked 4G was a bit patchy. Not awful but it would sometimes drop, and there was no wifi. But this being camping perhaps that's a positive 😅

Liked Riesenplatz auf der grünen Wiese. Hervorragende Sanitäranlagen. Feuerholz kann vor Ort gekauft werden. Lebt vor allem von UK-Reisenden, die die Dover-Fähren nutzen, da quasi nebenan.
Bei uns ein sehr netter persönlicher Empfang. Ansonsten kann per SMS eingecheckt werden.
Bezüglich Abreisezeit auch sehr flexibel.

Local attractions

Getting out into Kentish countryside is easy, beginning with a historical sort of trip from Shepherdswell station 10 minutes' walk away. This is a stop on the East Kent Railway, a heritage railway that will shuttle you through the Golgotha Tunnel and Kent countryside. Of course, it’s likely you’ll want to see Dover Castle and the White Cliffs (15 minutes' drive). Margate (35 minutes) is another popular pit stop, with vintage rides at Dreamland as well as the buzzy beachfront. St Margarets Bay (15 minutes) is quieter, but just as splendid. Those of you familiar with the Canterbury Tales – or, in fact, anyone wanting to do a bit of sightseeing – should head to Canterbury (15 minutes) too. Other cool spots? Driving diggers at Diggerland Kent (45 minutes) is high up there. Wingham Wildlife Park (20 minutes) too, especially if you’re an animal fan. Once a favourite haunt of smugglers, and now well suited to those who like the smaller seaside town vibes, is Deal (20 minutes).
