Hide in the Downs

3 units · Glamping12 acres · England

Hide in the Downs is a unique hideaway that prides itself on offering small luxuries whilst being immersed in nature. Both our huts have outdoor bathing to watch the night stars (and listening to the many owls) and our bell tents have beautifully presented private bathing facilities. Located in the heart of the North Downs AONB, we are in arguably the remotest part of Kent with no light pollution or noise. Our sites are positioned at each corner of our property (12 acres) and total privacy is guaranteed. We have a footpath running through the heart of the wild meadow that leads into a beautiful valley taking you to the village of Doddington (30 mins) where there is a terrific pub. Or a longer walk (1.5 hours) in the opposite direction to the village of Stalisfield where The Plough pub always serves the most delicious food. Many of our guests enjoy day trips to Faversham and Whistable where they can collect some fresh fish for the BBQ, you will also find an award winning butcher in Doddington. Hosted by Tom and Charlotte, who take hosting and customer experience very seriously. A lifelong dream of running a hotel as a child, being front of house is when Charlotte is in her element and will go far and beyond to ensure you have a great stay. Tom is on hand to help with any practicalities you may need assistance with. We are passionate about wildlife and believe in leaving nature alone, you will not find a manicured setting at Hide in The Downs, instead the meadow has been left to its own, which only contributes to your hidden experience. Whoever coined "blue and green should never be seen" was blind to nature, therefore you can expect these aesthetics to be seen across all our sites. The bell tents are comfortably furnished (one double and one kingsize) and come with a DVD player and lots of movies to choose from, an oven, a gas bbq and a beautifully presented private bathroom in a converted horse trailer. Whilst the two cosy shepherd's huts boast elegant decor and luxuries required to enjoy your home comforts.

Overview

Campsites in Margate

Margate is just the place for hipsters, scenesters and Cool Campers. Within easy reach of London, it’s known for its beaches but is now also home to the retro theme park Dreamland and the Turner Contemporary art gallery - both great days out for families on a camping holiday in Margate. This place has been attracting tourists since seaside holidays were invented and camping, in some form or another, has always been a popular way to stay. But campsites in Margate, like so many other places on our coast, have tended to cater for caravans, motorhomes and masses of people. We’ve turned our attention towards finding campsites in Margate, or within reach of Margate, which are more focused on campers and sometimes glampers. Camping and glamping sites which are as cool as the the bustling bars, eateries and independent businesses in Margate itself - not to mention the sea off this part of the Kent coast.

Things to do in Margate

There may be more than one reason to go camping in Margate but there’s no denying that the big attraction is the beach. With 16 sandy beaches in and around Margate, you could visit a different one every day of a two-week holiday and still not see them all. If you’re looking for surfing and watersports, head to Joss Bay, if you want fun fair rides and ice cream stay on Margate’s main beach and if you want somewhere more natural for rockpooling and shell collecting, try beautiful Botany Bay. If you (somehow) tire of the beach, you could take the kids to Dreamland for funfair rides with a retro theme or in to the less-deliberately retro amusements along the front. For a more serious visit, head into the Turner Contemporary art gallery to gaze at paintings of the area by JMW Turner and then, perhaps, stroll down the harbour arm, in front of the gallery, for lunch at one of its hip eateries. More timeless and tucked away is the teeny-tiny quirky hidden gem, the Shell Grotto - where you can while away an hour or two and, if you don't mind heading slightly further afield on your Margate camping trip, how about visiting nearby Whitstable or Canterbury? Both are within 20 miles of town.
