Little Nash Woods Camping

View prices & book Last booked 3 hours ago 10 86 reviews

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.

Bumblebee primitive earth tent campsite (four person)

Liked: The whole site is well set out, tidy, really clean and has such a welcoming feeling.

The owners Simon and Toyah both made an appearance and n several occasions to ensure our stay was comfortable and we had everything we need.

The site also runs an honesty system for supplies so you're free to help yourself and pay before you leave which we really liked.

Fox primitive earth tent campsite (six person, woodland)

Liked: Well set up campsite. All the pitches were in the woods, separated nicely. Each had its own good size area with a specific place for a fire. Nice to have a communal area with games.

Disliked: The toilet block was mixed and only had 2 sinks. This felt a little crowded when people were using the bathroom to get ready, brushing teeth/ using mirrors etc.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Amazing site with a lot of space, friendly owners and good location.

Ladybird primitive earth tent campsite (four person)

Liked: The owners were lovely and helped with anything we needed or any questions. the pitches are far apart enough that you don’t really see anyone unless you are on the communal paths or areas. Shower/ toilet block is good, although i don’t think more than one person can use the showers at once. definitely would stay again as the location is also ideal!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks so much for your kind review. So sorry you had a struggle with the showers, wish you would have mentioned at the time, as we would have been happy to look into this for you and check for an issue. Best wishes LNW x

Lewis S. May 2025

Bumblebee primitive earth tent campsite (four person)

Liked: As cliched as it sounds, this is the best campsite we've stayed at.
Check-in was nice and personable and easy.
The pitch itself was fantastic, nicely secluded in the woods away from other campers but still an easy walk to the car and the facilities. Tree cover meant it's not too light in the early morning through the tent, and not windy for the campfire. And huge wheelbarrows provided for moving stuff to the pitch!
The toilets and showers are brilliant, properly built in, proper sinks, mirror, even a hairdryer. Plenty of drinking water taps around and a sink for washing up.
There's an amazing honesty shop with firewood, kindling, and all the essentials you might have forgotten, even icecreams. A badminton net with racquets and shuttlecocks, cornhole, a covered hut with beanbags, board games and books. They've thought of everything!
Oh and the location is great, easy driving distance to Folkestone, Broadstairs, and Margate and Canterbury, as well as some lovely village country pubs.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks so much Lewis for such an awesome review! So lovely to know that all of our efforts to make the site a special place are really appreciated, it means the world to us! LNW x

Excellent site, lovely hosts, highly recommend. Can't wait to return!

Rabbit primitive earth tent campsite (seven person)

Liked: Had a fabulous weekend with my husband, adult children and grandchildren. We stayed at rabbit and had plenty of room to pitch two large tents, could easily fit another it was that spacious. The set up was great, close to the amenities which was ideal with three young children, with a lovely clean bathroom, and showers, the family shower is ideal for ppl with small children. Absolutely loved the games hut, plenty of choice to amuse everyone and we were lucky enough to have great weather to play badminton and corn hole, the kids also enjoyed doing craft stuff in the hideaway, and we were pleasantly surprised how much thought had gone into this site. The honesty shop was great, and lovely to see that the prices were very reasonable, not over inflated like some places... the free apples were a nice touch! Also, if you're up early enough, the seating area to watch the sunrise was a lovely idea.

Disliked: Nothing!!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your kind review and pictures! So glad to have made your stay a memorable one! Hope to see you again this year. LNW x

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.
