  • 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.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Nice friendly little campsite. I like how it's run with the fridge and socket and area for general use including an area for leftover items that another camper may use. Nice area in the woods for a fire. The woman campsite manager was helpful and friendly. I think I was very lucky as it was practically silent the night I stayed there! No noise from other Campers that I could hear until 7.30 ish in the morning! It seemed like a nice place for your children to play as well

Disliked: Maybe more toilets would be a bonus if the site was full

Power optional grass caravan site

Liked: The owners of the site made every effort to make sure we were able to have our holiday despite the difficult conditions due to the amount of rain we had experienced throughout February and March. They helped both in setting our caravan onto our pitch and on towing our caravan off our pitch and onto the hard standing where cars normally park when we had to leave. The site is situated in a lovely position amongst the Kent North Downs.

Disliked: We followed our Google maps app which took us down some narrow roads to get to the site; luckily we didn't meet another vehicle on the way. There is a better route from the M20 junction 11 and the B2068 to Canterbury and taking the turning sign posted to Stowting.

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.

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.
