  • Peaceful Kent site 10 minutes’ drive from Whitstable and Canterbury
  • In the countryside; small, friendly and away from crowds
  • A 20-minute walk from the nearest pub in the village of Blean
Treating yourself to some time away in Kent? Pick Chapter Farm Camping as your base and you will be surrounded by quiet countryside, well away from the crowds. This site has a small, peaceful and friendly feel and is also oh-so-convenient for seeing Kent’s coast, countryside and historic attractions. After settling in and getting acquainted with the on-site facilities, which include toilets, a shower and a washing-up area, you might want to look around the local area. It’s a 20-minute walk from the site to the local pub in the village of Blean; another pub is about 15 minutes further on. Whitstable, famed for its oysters (and other fresh seafood), is a 10-minute drive away. Get a good look at its colourful beach huts, working harbour and independent shops, before moving on to the historic streets of Canterbury, where medieval architecture, a huge Gothic cathedral, boutique shops and restaurants all make for a splendid – and varied – afternoon out. Along the Kent coast, there are plenty of opportunities to keep active: beaches, coastal walks and watersports centres that’ll set you up to go paddleboarding or sailing. If spotting some of the local wildlife is high on your list of priorities, keep your eyes peeled along the coast, or check out some of the nature reserves. Scenic cycling routes, vineyards, animal parks and shops with local produce are all things to look forward to in this part of Kent.

Peaceful spot, great facilities (toilets, showers spotless & modern, shared fridge a plus). Friendly, helpful owners with top local tips. Beautiful, convenient location. A few noted campervan pitches' tyre chip/sand can be messy.

Non-electric motorhome pitch

Liked Facilities-clean, well stocked, including kettle and fridge available for use
Beautiful views and convenient location for Canterbury, Whitstable, etc
Really helpful owners, made an effort to introduce themselves after arrival and offer help

Disliked Combination of tyre chip and sand flooring on campervan pitches is very dirty compared to grass so bring mats to help minimise this

Recommend to friends Visit again

A wonderful, peaceful oasis - we will definitely be coming back!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Big, clearly marked out and mown pitches with plenty of space in between - brilliant - plus plenty more space for the children to play in. Wheelbarrows made moving everything to the pitch very easy. Clean and modern toilets and shower block, plus a shared fridge and electric socket in the washing up area which are always useful. Owner was very friendly and accommodating which we really appreciated. Lovely, quiet countryside setting with very pleasant views.
