  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Informative facilities area, helpful, thoughtful and kind. Site was small and quiet, easy to find, helpful hosts, not ever present but just a call away in case of any issues, though not sure what issues you'd have here.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: It's like coming home. It's very familiar, and you look forward to your vacation in the UK. The site is very adventurous, but quiet, and the campground owners are very friendly.
We always arrive via Eurotunnel and the location is excellent.

Disliked: Site was very dirty and appeared not ready for customers.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I am sorry that you felt the site was ''unready'' for customers...I am unclear of what that means exactly....we do operate a relaxed check in system here.
If you felt it was unclean then I am sorry, I do regularly check the facilities etc and as you will see in previous reviews I am often commended for the cleanliness of said facilities. I'm sorry you didn't feel you could contact us while visiting to rectify any problems you may have had. We are always happy to fix anything if we can.
We are glad you like the convenience for the shuttle and our meadow...thanks anyway.

Excellent campsite in Folkestone!

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.
