Dog-friendly site in a rural spot between Canterbury and Whitstable
A 15-minute drive from the beach and the Crab And Winkle Way
Communal firepit available; cycle path to the sea

Glide down to the sea on a bicycle or check out the wildlife trails nearby… a 15-minute drive or 35-minute pedal away from Whitstable's seafront and with Canterbury 15 minutes’ drive in the other direction, Fleets Paddock Camping is nicely set up for a break by the cathedral city with oyster munching, sailing or steering a powerboat on-hand down by the shore. While the sea and city are close by, this dog-friendly and family-friendly site is in quite a rural spot, behind the scenes of Blean village. Backed by a nature reserve, the village is home to a pub with a merry beer garden and local ales, as well as a small food shop where you’ll find it easy to scoop up any forgotten or dwindling supplies. Whether it’s a family getaway, solo escapade or romantic bush hideaway you’ve got in mind, the highlight of the evening may very well be the site’s large communal firepit, which is surrounded by log seats. Those green-fingered folk in the group may also be happy to find that this site is keen to be friendly to the planet and uses composting loos. Other facilities include showers, just in case you've gathered a light layer of sweat while taking the cycle path down to the Whitstable seafront.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Quiet, back to basics site in a great location. We didn’t make use of it but the communal fire pit was a lovely idea.

Disliked: All the recent rain meant that the site was very boggy and muddy which limited the options of where we could pitch our tent. Not a huge problem for us as we were first to arrive and it wasn’t busy.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The setting is peaceful, the facilities are great. We especially appreciated the clean toilets, the viewing platform, and the cosy children's library. It's great that this is possible to book for just 1 night. We're definitely coming back.

Disliked: The Pitchup page says that coal must be purchased on site, but it turned out that charcoal wasn't available. We had to make an extra trip to the shop to fuel our BBQ.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay at our campground. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and thrilled to know that you're planning to return. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you experienced with the availability of charcoal during your stay. We will take immediate steps to ensure that we stock up on charcoal for the future, making it more convenient for you and our guests. Your comfort and satisfaction are important to us. Best wishes Alex

Esmarelda gypsy caravan

Liked: Very clean site amd peacefull. Gypsy cart was well equipped.

Disliked: The bed was very hard, more like a PE mat then a mattress so had a bad nights sleep (if any).

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Certainly! The gypsy caravan is not designed to accommodate a deluxe mattress due to its cozy space. However, It dose comes equipped with a specially made camping mattress that is soft, cozy, and warm. We are glad you had everything you needed and a peaceful stay. Best wishes Alex

Local attractions

Well, the coast is certainly calling here. With a shingle shore, Tankerton beach (15 minutes’ drive) has plenty of opportunities to dip your feet into seaside sport, whether it's swimming or sailing. Boat trips and kayak hire are just some of the hobbies down in Whitstable too… and you'll likely be happy to see seafood restaurants lying in wait for your return to the shore afterwards. Once you’ve ticked off the pebble cove at Herne Bay beach (20 minutes), perhaps you’ll want to turn your attention to the city… there’s a reason Canterbury (15 minutes) is classed a UNESCO World Heritage City, as the cathedral and medieval Canterbury tales attraction are some of its crowning sights. For another historical call-in, there’s the Saxon St Cosmas & St Damian's Church (half an hour) but for wildlife, Druidstone Park’s wildlife park (five minutes) or the sensory Wildart Trail (10 minutes) might be some prime places. As for those of you who aren’t done with your cycling for the day after going all the way to Whitstable, there’s the Crab And Winkle Way (15 minutes) or trails around the Blean Woods National Nature Reserve (20 minutes).
