Whether you’re after countryside peace, coastal adventures, or proximity to a whole host of places to visit, we look after three of the top Kent campsites: Bearsted Club Campsite near Maidstone, Black Horse Farm Club Campsite close to Folkestone and Daleacres Club Campsite, a stone’s throw from Dymchurch. Let’s take you through what makes our Caravan and Motorhome Club Sites some of the best places to stay in Kent.

1. Bearsted Club Campsite, near Maidstone

Bearsted Club Campsite’s peaceful rural location amongst the Kent countryside blends perfectly with great accessibility to the amenities of Maidstone to make it one of the best campsites in Kent. Perfectly set at the foot of the North Downs, a touring stay here unlocks a world of adventure amongst the sort of scenery that gives Kent its renowned title as the Garden of England.

With outdoor areas like White Horse Wood Country Park and the River Len nearby, you’d be forgiven for forgetting the centre of Maidstone is only a 10-minute drive away, making this scenic spot practical for longer stays. With historic Kent places to visit like Leeds Castle and Maidstone Museum nearby, there’s plenty of things to do too.

2. Black Horse Farm Club Campsite, near Folkestone

Black Horse Farm Club Campsite is another Kent campsite in a brilliant location for all things adventure. Situated in the heart of the Kent countryside, the site also offers a great stop off point for caravans and motorhomes heading off to the continent.

You’re just a 15-minute drive from the Folkestone Eurotunnel terminal when you stay here, making it the ideal place to stay before heading on an international journey. Campsites in Kent don’t come more convenient than this, and with places to visit like the White Cliffs of Dover a short distance away, it’s a great base for exploring the wider county too.

3. Daleacres Club Campsite, near Dymchurch

In a peaceful location between Dymchurch and Hythe and just a stone’s throw from the picturesque Romney Marshes, Daleacres Club Campsite offers a tranquil escape with wide open skies and unspoilt natural beauty. This dog-friendly site is especially loved by walkers, birdwatchers, and anyone craving a relaxing retreat.

Daleacres is just two miles from the beach and close to the famous Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway, which churns out childhood memories. Its countryside setting makes it perfect for scenic cycle routes and walking trails, yet it's not far from local shops and pubs for added convenience.

Facilities include a children's play area, clean modern amenities, and even a dedicated dog walk, making it a strong contender among family-friendly campsites in Kent.
