  • 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.

Rebecca M.

Nightingale unpowered earth tent site (eight person)

Liked What an amazing way to camp, this little gem in Folkstone is an absolute must for those wanting to get back to nature. Having you're own little woodland area where you are able to have a real campfire which is away from everyone else makes the experience feel extra special.
An on-site small honesty shop is extremely handy especially when you've forgotten the odd essential, the toilet and shower block is super clean and has everything that is needed, and the play area for all (not just for kids) is a lovely, fun space to enjoy quality time.
The staff are unbelievably helpful and we can't wait to come back next year.

Butterfly unpowered earth tent site (five person)

Liked This little place is amazing! We loved the warm welcome we got. The detailed personal touches to everything really make this place special.
Each campsite has its own private space and everything is kept so clean especially the bathroom areas. Iv never been to a camp sight where the bathrooms are kept so clean!
Because Wingham is not far we got to hear the lions 🥰 coming from Africa this was a real treat!
Making use of the play area, lounge area and board games were perfect for the kids and fun for the family.
We really loved the honesty shop, the trust the owners have and the opportunity to teach our children the value of being honest is priceless.

Thank you for such an amazing stay.

Liked Little Nash Woods is an absolute dream for anyone looking to unplug and enjoy nature at its best. The campsite is peaceful, well-maintained, and surrounded by stunning woodland perfect for a quiet getaway or a weekend adventure with friends and family.

The pitches are spacious and thoughtfully laid out, giving you just enough privacy without feeling isolated. There's a real sense of tranquillity here, with birdsong in the morning and a sky full of stars at night. We especially loved the fire pits.

Facilities were clean and well-kept, which made a big difference. The staff (Simon) were friendly and helpful, always around if you needed anything but never intrusive.

Whether you're an experienced camper or just getting started, Little Nash Woods is a fantastic spot. Can’t wait to come back and stay longer next time!

Liked The pitch was fantastic (Butterfly) great size and layout within the woods.

Toilet and shower facilities are great very clean and well kept with plenty of toilets and shower.

The honesty shop is very good with some good treats to buy and fair prices.

The cabin with books and games is great to entertain the kids with a variety for all ages.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Liked Beautiful location, beautifully laid out and facilities were immaculate.

Pitches were spaced out and felt secluded, everything was well thought out.

We stayed during a massive thunderstorm and the owners were fantastic checking in on us.

My son loved the ‘chill out area’ where he sat reading for ages.

Will definitely return, we had a lovely weekend and it’s been our favourite campsite so far!

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.
