  • 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

Enjoy a quiet stay with roomy spots and great, clean facilities. Staff are frequently called friendly and helpful. Convenient for European ferries and nice woodland walks. A few mention occasional A2 road noise and wish for hot water at the dishwashing sinks.

 Dean M. 1 review

Top Field primitive grass campsite

Liked My first ever time camping in a tent and I couldn't ask for a better place to do it. I stayed in the top field for 2 nights in the end. I was met by a site organiser, Hayden. Very nice fella. Helpful, informative and greeting with a friendly smile and can do manner. he gave me information about walks into the nearest town and also about the surrounding area woodland. The site itself was friendly, very clean and accommodating. I would recommend this site to anyone and every one. It's a shame that they are fully booked for this August bank holiday as I would book again but this time with my partner. But I completely understand why they are fully booked. Excellent - 20 out of 10.

Disliked Nothing atoll. Honestly. This site was perfect. Quiet, friendly and accommodating.

The Menage powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked The welcome, the organisation, the ease of booking, the view, price and access to the ferry port. This is a beautifully kept site and although we only used it to stop off before our crossing to Calais, we would love to come back and explore the area.

Disliked Nothing, perfectly run and maintained.

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).
