We've just got back from our two week trip around Kent We were typically ill-prepared and hadn't organized our campsites before we left. We spent two nights at The Drum Inn which was okay (camping behind a pub) near Folkestone but then some careful googling by Richard turned up Kingsdown - it was beautiful. We intended to stay for 3 nights and wound up staying for 5. The site is huge, the facilities are decent (if a bit basic) and the views are stunning wherever you pitch up. You are a 2 minute walk from the beach They allow fires in firepits (and will hire them out if you don't have one) and even better it was cheap - £12 a night for us (£6/person). There was hookup but we don't have electric sorted in Arthur yet so I'm not sure how much more a night that would run you... We will be back - pics will follow when we can get them off the camera
We had one night at Kingsdown Camping near Deal, really great location, facilities were fine, small shop and just a few mins walk from the beach and pubs. I would recommend it and we’ll definitely be coming back sometime. Recommend pitches 14 - 21, but all locations are good.
It is a nice site, but can get very busy and the facilities a bit stretched. You could have come along and seen us digging out the cross channel gun site at Wanstone.
I do like it down there, we had a big family holiday a couple of years back, 18 of us in a large holiday let in St Margarets Bay. Spotted Kingsdown campsite and put it on the to visit list. Us Kentish men don't like to cross the Medway too often, but I'll make an exception for a decent campsite.
We recently spent two nights at Kingdown for a last min getaway and really enjoyed it. The site is pretty big and other than those with electric hook-up there is no designated bays so just pull up where you like, the facilities are fine (although might struggle when really busy) and the views are stunning wherever you pitch up. You are a few minutes walk from the beach / village and there are 3 pubs, we tried two and were happy with both. there is also a local shop and butchers. The site has a small shop for supplies and there is a on site / converted horse box bar, although this was closed during our stay. Ideal for us for a quick getaway and will surely be going back.
