  • 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.

Liked: Peaceful site. Super friendly owner. Ideal for stopover before Dover ferry - would be good to stay a bit longer another time. Did a good 3km walk and would like to explore more walking and biking.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Everything! Showers and toilets, always clean. Shower was lovely and hot. Great washing up facility. Fridge and freezer. Lovely flat pitch. Nice meadow for dogs to run free. Forest area with rope swing, which my daughter thoroughly enjoyed. Great host! Very kind and willing to help in anyway. We had a thoroughly relaxing time and will definitely be back.

Disliked: Nothing. Wi-Fi not great but I don’t expect the wife to be good on a campsite. Have given 5 stars for wifi as host happy to share password and quality is as I would expect.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: We stayed at Little Lynton Acres for one night, it was a very last minute for us as we had to travel to the area for other commitments and decided that camping would be fun! I let the owners know we'd be arriving at a late hour due to the long journey we had and received welcoming correspondence about what to do on our arrival.

It's easy to access and easy system to pay on arrival, we put the address into Google maps and it brought us right to the gate. The campsite was quiet and peaceful, with excellent facilities. The toilets were really clean and well maintained, it was nice to have hot water as well. You could tell a lot of love went into the facilities, there were toys available for kids and boardgames.

Liked: Beautiful site with beautiful people. Had a great time. Very secluded and miles from town this place was like its own little camping village. Owners were very helpful and the facilities were clean and very well kept. Definitely go again. Stayed for a week and there we always have a piece of Little Lynton in our hearts.

Disliked: None

Liked: The site is very relaxed in beautiful settings. The toilets & shower were kept clean & stocked at all times.There was a few families there & it was lovely to see all the children playing together & them exploring the woods with their torches. Love that there is books & toys/games for people to use.

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.
