  • 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.

Butterfly unpowered earth tent site (six person)

Liked Beautiful campsite, what a treat to camp in the midst of the woods! Facilities were 10/10 and staff were super helpful. Parking away from the camping area whilst slightly less convenient really added to the sense of escapism, and the giant wheelbarrows provided made it feel like an effortless compromise

Butterfly unpowered earth tent site (six person)

Liked My 4th year here. Friendly staff, cleanest camping facilities, good camping community. This is the nearest to wild camping you can get. Great for young and old, and so much so my child wasn’t interested in leaving site on our 3 day getaway. He loved exploring and using the badminton equipment, board games, and library. He loved being within the forest and learning about the nature and how to build a fire. They’ve done a great job with this little woodland and made it very peaceful. A chance to get away from the noise of the digital world society has indulged. Well done.

Liked We had a very nice stay at Little Nash Woods Camping. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. The campsite was exceptionally clean, peaceful, and well maintained. We especially loved how private each pitch was, with plenty of space between campers, making it feel quiet and relaxing.

The location is beautiful and ideal for anyone looking to enjoy nature and unwind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend Little Nash Woods Camping to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. We will happily return in the future!

Ladybird unpowered earth tent site (four person)

Liked A small, cute, out the way campsite perfect for a quiet weekend away,
facilities were always clean and tidy,
the family area gave us a place to hang out away from the tent which was nice too, and the onside staff were lovely,

Disliked Nothing to dislike about the site at all,

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.
