Large grass pitches
Good grass pitches next to the small woodland play area.
Plenty of space around the field
Lots of space to spread out

  • 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.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked We've stayed at Little Lynton Acres several times now. Facilities (shower and toilets) are always well stocked and clean. The site is generally quiet and peaceful for the perfect laid back stay. Very near to Hythe and farm shops. The owners, Kay and Chris do a great job in welcoming campers and caravanners and are always helpful.

Disliked Leaving, always.

Liked Friendly welcome. Spacious pitch. 20 mins from tunnel.

Disliked Noise after 11pm. Dog constantly barking (not from campsite). Motorbike revving and riding through field?

Great.

Liked We like the location - it is very conveniently situated near Dover and Folkestone, and also has a beautiful view of the hills. The hosts are very friendly. Facilities are functional and water is really hot. Their kitchen also includes a fridge, which came in handy on several occasions.

Catherine H.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Facilities just what you need - shower, couple of toilets, water, communal fridge/freezer, washing up area. Clearly marked pitches - could feel a bit cramped if full and lots of big tents, but equally plenty of space in the middle of the field to spread out into.

Great for children - plenty of games etc available plus woods with a swing, fairy doors and meadow to explore.

A great place for camping!

Liked Nice atmosphere - Goats and chickens!
Lovely white board full of location suggestions for site seers
Washing up area
Little ice cream fridge
Able to walk around the site - beautiful views
Very cheap
Easy to book and get into site

Disliked Only 1 small shower
2 very small toilets

During the stay i did hear what sounded like dogs fighting and then one was crying for a uncomfortable amount of time as if it was in pain or stressed, wasnt sure what to do or if it was owner of the pitch or someone staying. Also heard what sounded like a woman shouting at the dog a few times which i didnt particularly enjoy hearing, bit unpleasant but hopefully it was an isolated incident and not the owners dogs...

Lovely site, friendly owners.

Liked Lovely small peaceful site. Friendly owners. Good location - we visited port lympne safari park but lots more to see. Very basic but lovely clean facilities. Would have been useful to have directions explained as our satnav directed us down a very narrow lane - to avoid just needed to take next junction on motorway.

Lovely little site, perfect for a few days away from the world.

Della M.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Easy to find, the facilities were very clean, even a fridge/ freezer for communal use, friendly owners, cute little fairy trail in the woods. Everywhere was gated and people were letting there kids go off to play in the woods/ fields so I would say a very secure site (but I didn’t take any kids so can’t say for sure)
Our pitch looked flat but where we positioned our tent and got in, we were slightly down hill, but nothing a quick turn around off the airbed couldn’t fix.
We only stayed 3 nights, but could have happily stayed for more.
Can’t comment on the WiFi as we didn’t ask for the code- but I imagine it would be ok if they supply it, as we had 4/5g most the time.

Disliked A little shop on site would be a game changer! (More our fault for not being prepared)

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.
