  • Peaceful site in the Kent Downs, 20 minutes' drive from Canterbury
  • Within a half-hour drive of Dover, Folkestone and Ashford
  • A mile from country pubs; woodland walks next to the site
Folk looking for a place to flop before or after a foray to France may well find Little Lynton Acres a most handy location – it’s less than half an hour’s drive from the ferries at Dover and Folkestone, and 20 minutes or so from Ashford’s international train station linking passengers up with European cities like Paris, Brussels, Marseille, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. It’s recommended that you don’t try to move on too quickly from this spacious, peaceful site in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, however, for there’s plenty to keep you busy nearby, including country walks, trips to the coast and days out in Canterbury (20 minutes’ drive away). Those seeking a spot to stroll can, in fact, wander straight out into the woodland just next to the site, and there’s also plenty of space around the place for kids and dogs that need a place to run about in the open air. This site is also a mile from the villages of Stowting and Stelling (and, perhaps more importantly, their pubs). Facilities at this simple park include toilets, showers, drinking water and a chemical disposal point.

Liked: My third visit of the year to this hidden gem,even though it was the last weekend of their season it was quite popular with folk! Quiet,peaceful and secluded. Shared facilities are constantly monitored by Kay the owner who is always friendly and chatty. I'm already looking forward to next season to return.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Very friendly host. Clean spacious pitches. Competitive price. Lovely local area

Disliked: Sadly a number of groups ignored the 11pm to 7 am quiet policy. With shouts, loud laughter and singing well into the early hours of next day, which made for a sleepless night. Would be nice if this was monitored by sire owner.

Liked: Overnachtingsplek dicht bij de Tunnel, tips om te doen in de omgeving, vriendelijke campingeigenaar en fijne sfeer op de camping.

Disliked: De weg ernaar toe. Tip: rijd via de Stone Street! Vraag het anders even van te voren aan de campingeigenaar. De navigatie stuurt je via erg smalle wegen.

Liked: Lovely friendly, laid back site with nice personal touches. Our pitch was level and the site was very quiet at night with great views of the stars. The facilities were lovely and clean and we loved the shower.

Disliked: Our pitch was a bit muddy but that can’t be helped due to a lot of rain in the run up to our stay.

Liked: Stayed in my van as working in the area. Lovely site a few miles away from everything which I love. The stars at night are truly awesome. Clean, simple facilities which is all I needed. Kay is a wonderful owner who takes time to check that you’re all ok.

Local attractions

Craving the coast? Head to the long, pebble shores of Hythe (15 minutes' drive), an especially scenic place on a sunny day, for a bit of beach time. Kent is also a cracking spot for keen historians: visit the traditional city of Canterbury for its cathedral and Roman museum (20 minutes) or factor in a few hours for moseying around the maze and gardens at the spectacular 12th-century Leeds Castle (35 minutes). And if you're seeking yesteryear-themed tours focusing on a different era? Flit over to the Kent Battle of Britain Museum to roam among the remnants of more than 700 crashed aircraft from WWII. When travelling with tiddlers who don’t do so well during historical explores, try an animal attraction instead: critters of all sorts are scattered throughout the area, including at the Port Lympne Reserve (15 minutes), a breeding sanctuary housing rare and endangered creatures, and Howletts Wild Animal Park with its giant anteaters, African elephants and gorillas (20 minutes). Farm animals are to be seen at Druidstone Park (half an hour), which also has adventure playgrounds for the kids, while the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Light Railway (also half an hour) is a fab family attraction whisking riders through the local countryside on an old-school locomotive.
