  • 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.

What customers say

A small, friendly site in a peaceful rural spot, perfect for stopovers. Guests rave about clean basic facilities, helpful owners, and a lovely woodland play area. Handy for Eurotunnel/ferries. While facilities are limited, they're adequate for the price. Access roads can be narrow.

Chris B.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Fantastic site, with clean facilities. It’s just a basic site but has 2 toilets, 1 shower and washing up facilities. All clean and tidy and very quiet.

Disliked The field is on a slight slope but that’s being really picky as there was nothing to dislike.😁

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Het mooie open veld met standplaatsen aan de rand van het veld. Een groot uitlaatveld voor de hond achter de camping. 25 min naar Dover via de M20 en A259. Toegang het beste via de lange route de B2089 die eigenlijk heel goed was. Laatste weg is wat smal maar goed te doen met auto en caravan.

Disliked Hoewel er maar 1 douche was die schoon en warm was dit perfect voor 1 nacht

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.
