  • 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

This campsite is praised for being clean, peaceful, and well-kept, with friendly staff and great amenities like spacious sites and clean showers. It's a convenient stopover for Dover or Eurotunnel, offering a quiet atmosphere and clear walking routes. Hot water at dishwashing sinks is a minor suggestion. Highly recommended for short or long stays.

Liked Lovely little camp site, spacious, quiet, very clean. Really grateful they allowed late arrivals as we were travelling from Dover and had to get a late ferry (nice touch keeping it separate from the main pitches, so that it doesn't disturb anyone).

Recommend to friends Visit again

Superb! See you again soo

The Menage powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Leider konnten wir nur eine Nacht bleiben, da unsere Fähre am nächsten Tag ging, aber wir wären gerne länger geblieben. Nach einer herzlichen Begrüßung und einem kleinen Plausch haben wir die äußerst sauberen und modernen sanitären Anlagen inspiziert. Der Platz ist eben und bietet alle Möglichkeiten, ob mit Wohnmobil, Wohnwagen oder Zelt. Eine empfehlenswerte Location mit ganz viel Ruhe und Natur. Sehr zu empfehlen.

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).
