Camping pitch

  • Scenic and spacious site on a working arable farm in the Kent Downs
  • Canterbury, Eurotunnel services and ferries within 20 minutes' drive
  • Spacious pitches with direct access to local walks; dogs welcome
Perhaps you’re travelling to Kent to spend some time exploring the area known as the ‘Garden of England’, or you just need a stopover before heading across the Channel. Maybe you’ve got the whole family with you, or your partner and dog – or you’re on a little solo break. Whatever kind of Kent camping break you’ve got in mind, you’ll be very welcome at Blandred Camping. You’ll be in an excellent location for both local jaunts and onward travel when you stay here – this spacious site is part of a working arable farm within the Kent Downs National Landscape, and you’ll be able to get straight out onto local footpaths for walks and bike rides to see some of your scenic surroundings. Despite the peaceful rural vibe on site, this is a very handy Kent location – Folkestone is about 10 minutes’ drive away, or you can reach either Canterbury or Dover within 20 minutes. And, of course, that means that cross-Channel ferries and Eurotunnel trains are very close by for those heading over to France. Sticking around on this side of the Channel? There are plenty of great days out nearby, whether you’re planning to take in the coastline, explore historic Canterbury or treat the kids to a day at a safari park. A bus stop at the end of the lane has services to Canterbury and Folkestone; routes that also handily stop outside a couple of favourite local pubs. This is a simple site, but the facilities (hot showers, flushing toilets and a cold-water washing-up area) are nicely maintained, and there’s plenty of space to pitch up and play games. Campfires and barbecues are welcome, but no music, thanks – this is a peaceful kind of place.

Liked The place is peaceful and nice. The toilet and shower blocks are very clean. The micropub on the farm is fantastic, with live music and the burger from the burger van is the best.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Very helpful and accommodating people running the site who provide a warm welcome. Facilities are really clean and well maintained. The tent pitches are great for easily taking and holding tent pegs. I didn't use the harder standing larger pitches but they looked ideal for motorhomes and large tents. Ideal location for channel tunnel or Dover ferries.

Liked The perfect overnight stop prior to the tunnel. Spanking new facilities, nicely done. Loved the micropub next door (they do plastic glasses…). Also the fire pits to hire are a nice touch.

Disliked No electric points (a minor quibble).

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Motor home and tent pitches in a large field adjacent to working farm ,only 5 pitches occupied when I was there.Needed an over night stop for le shuttle, ideal just a short journey to tunnel. Toilets and showers where new and clean, open fires allowed.Had the impression the owners had only just opened this site, Bottom line friendly staff clean basic and I liked it

Local attractions

Canterbury (20 minutes’ drive) is a special city that’s always worth a day out, whether you’ve been before or not. The cathedral, Roman Museum and Canterbury Tales exhibition are top picks for first timers, but there are lots more attractions beyond those – perhaps the Beaney House of Art & Knowledge, or an afternoon of punting along the river? Down at the coast, take a wander around Folkestone (10 minutes) to find all its outdoor art installations and scoff seafood at Folkestone Harbour Arm. You can also paddle or build sandcastles at the town’s Sunny Sands beach, or head along to Dover (20 minutes) for the castle and the famous white cliffs. For a family day out, meet exotic animals at Wingham Wildlife Park or Port Lympne Safari Park, or take a ride on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway – all are about 20 minutes’ drive away.
