What customers say
A basic, clean and friendly campsite, ideal for stopovers or short breaks. Facilities are well-maintained, and the owners are welcoming and helpful. The site offers a peaceful atmosphere and is well-located for exploring the local area. Some guests noted the limited facilities (one shower, two toilets), and narrow access roads.

Liked Toilets clean, fridge/ freezer available to use, books etc. Handy for the chunnel.
Disliked Whilst reading the thousands of handwritten rules around the place including one on keeping your dog under control at all times I was set upon by the owners four completely out of control dogs, two of which jumped her fence and were growling aggressively at my dog who thankfully didn’t react. Dog owners beware.

From the manager: I am sorry you felt this was an issue you couldn't come to us to discuss. I do have to correct a few of your points made as they are inaccurate.
Thousands of signs...is an over exaggeration, yes there are more than we would like, unfortunately this is down to disrespectful visitors at this site, who feel for example it is ok to poo in a sink or set fire to our field. The notice about dogs applies to dogs visiting the site specifically as ours are not included in this...and these rules are there for the comfort of all guests who visit us, with or without dogs.
I had just returned home and let me dogs out for exercise and toileting which coincided with you entering or exiting the gate, they were obviously excited and run around to see who was there. The newest and youngest of our dogs was the only one who leaped over to see your dog, he then was some distance from your dog and barked as a confused puppy would do, he hasn't a malicious bone in his body. He was mistreated when we rescued him and is slowly building his confidence. Yes my other dogs were barking but from the other side of the fence and not aggressively and not out of control. I came straight over and returned them all to the house.
I did explain to you that my dog that jumped over was not harmful at all Nd I asked if your dog was ok, you replied and said that ''your dog may be aggressive'' even if mine was not.
I can only be sorry that you didn't have the best experience because as you can see many reviews disagree with your experience.
I also picked up your dogs mess after you departed from your pitch.
You are welcome.

Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked For us this was the perfect location for a stop off before heading to Le Shuttle the following morning, but it is equally well suited to anyone fancying a few days away, or somewhere to holiday with children.
It’s a simple, no frills site, but with everything you need from a campsite.
Genuinely lovely owner greeted us on arrival, but equally there are ample instructions on the entrance gate, along with mobile numbers for contact if you were to arrive and find no one around.
The shower and toilet block is basic, but it’s clean and we had great showers.
We were especially appreciative of the dog walk straight off the site, with a paddock set aside for an off lead run…absolutely brilliant!! Also noted the woodland campfire place which is a lovely touch!
In short, we’d return in a heartbeat! Thanks for a lovely stay!

Liked De mooie omgeving, ook de hosts waren heel vriendelijk.
Disliked Heel weinig faciliteiten, één douche en twee toiletten. Op vrijdag zaten er zeker 40 mensen op de camping, vooral met kinderen, en in een mum van tijd waren de toiletten en douche in een oorlogsgebied herschapen...

Peaceful retreat, rural campsite close to North Downs Way
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We've stayed at Little Lynton Acres several times now. Facilities (shower and toilets) are always well stocked and clean. The site is generally quiet and peaceful for the perfect laid back stay. Very near to Hythe and farm shops. The owners, Kay and Chris do a great job in welcoming campers and caravanners and are always helpful.
Disliked Leaving, always.

Liked Friendly welcome. Spacious pitch. 20 mins from tunnel.

A lovely stay for a great price
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We like the location - it is very conveniently situated near Dover and Folkestone, and also has a beautiful view of the hills. The hosts are very friendly. Facilities are functional and water is really hot. Their kitchen also includes a fridge, which came in handy on several occasions.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Facilities just what you need - shower, couple of toilets, water, communal fridge/freezer, washing up area. Clearly marked pitches - could feel a bit cramped if full and lots of big tents, but equally plenty of space in the middle of the field to spread out into.
Great for children - plenty of games etc available plus woods with a swing, fairy doors and meadow to explore.
