Beach camping in Kent guide

Overview

Southeast of London on the English Channel, county Kent is a charming destination for coastal beach camping. Stroll the chalk coast accessible footpath and admire the white cliffs of Dover, hike the hillsides in Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or enjoy a bracing swim in the channel for the full seaside experience. Coastal camping near Dover and Ramsgate offers ocean views over the Strait of Dover, while spots near East Sussex treat campers to a quiet escape in the hills. Embrace the wilderness with rustic tent pitches in the AONB under the stars, or enjoy cosy beds and kitchenettes in a yurt or glamping pod along the shores of the Channel. Waterview campsites are a rare score in Kent, though many coastal camping sites are within a quick walk of the sea. Warm weather makes Kent a popular summer holiday spot, when local and out-of-country campers head to Canterbury and the surrounding seaside. Book early for a spot from June to August.
