  • 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 A really nice simple quiet place to camp, lots of birds and wildlife around, beautiful morning chorus, laid back and lots of space. I used it as a stop off en route to France on my motorbike as it’s only 20/25mins from the ferry port. Even closer to Le shuttle. Just what I needed. 👌

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked This was our second time back to the site and it did not disappoint!
Very, very reasonably priced.
Clean and tidy facilities (at no extra cost)
Friendly hosts who are very accommodating and are very helpful.
There is a fridge/freezer which is available to put a few items in which is really handy.
Everything you need for a campsite.
Exactly what I am looking for, for a little get away

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Beautiful area of Kent, very rural area and a wild campers paradise.
Kay the host is very friendly and helpful, she has created a really unique small holding/campsite.
The showers and toilet area are very clean and top notch. There is also a washing up station and sometimes helpful bits you may have forgotten to pack(knives and forks thanks Kay!!).

Disliked Leaving.

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.
