Family-friendly camping in a quiet countryside setting close to the beach at Whitstable

Perfectly positioned between the historic city of Canterbury and the stylish Kent coastline, this peaceful campsite offers the best of both worlds. Nestled within four acres of tranquil countryside, owners Tony and Kerry have created an intimate, family-friendly escape where guests can unwind, reconnect with nature, and explore some of Kent’s most cherished landscapes. Ancient woodland walks, charming market towns, and beautiful pebble beaches are all within a 10-minute drive. The site offers an exclusive and uncrowded experience. There are 8 large grass tent pitches ensuring a calm atmosphere with plenty of open space for children to play and families to relax plus there are 5 gravel pitches for campervans/motorhomes. Parking is conveniently located close to the tents, with wheelbarrows available to help transport luggage — though they often prove just as popular with younger guests. Guests also have access to modern washroom facilities with showers and toilets, alongside a well-equipped utility area with hot-water washing-up sinks, a fridge/freezer, and phone-charging points. Outside, there are picnic tables,, creating the perfect setting for relaxed evenings under the stars. The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty, with the ancient woodland trails of Blean Woods just moments away. Plus, a village store, a farm shop, and two local pubs are just a mile up the road. On clear evenings, dark skies provide excellent stargazing opportunities, and cyclists can enjoy the nearby Crab and Winkle Way, a traffic-free route offering scenic woodland rides and sweeping coastal views. The location truly sets this retreat apart. In one direction lies Canterbury, one of England’s most captivating historic cities, renowned for its rich heritage and magnificent cathedral. In the other is Whitstable, the vibrant seaside town famous for its oysters, independent shops, and fresh seafood. Both destinations are just a short drive away, making it easy to balance cultural exploration with seaside relaxation. Spend the morning discovering centuries of history, then head to the grassy slopes and family-friendly beach at Tankerton for a picnic by the sea, before returning to the campsite for toasted marshmallows around the fire as the sun sets over the Kent countryside.

We received a very warm welcome from Tony, he was so accommodating nothing was too much effort. Our first time glamping and we loved it. The kids enjoying the open space to run around and play games.The tent was great- clean, tidy and had everything we needed- plates, cups, cutlery etc. There was even a hob outside on the picnic table. Great facilities on site which wasn't far to walk. Great location 10mins to the beach and a short distance to Canterbury. We went to Howletts wildlife park which was a great day out. Couldn't fault our stay, we will definitely be back and will be recommending.

First time we have ever been glamping. Could not ask for more. Stunning views, quiet. Half way between Canterbury and Whitstable. It feels remote but you are literally 10 minutes from the major tourist spots. Bed was comfortable. Little touches, like somewhere to put your bag so it’s not on the floor. Milk and eggs in a fridge for us. Toilets, showers immaculate. Washing up area spotless. Definitely, we will be back.

My husband, 2 children and myself came for 2 nights over a weekend recently. We have never tried camping/glamping before, but I am so glad we did, especially here at Tony & Kerry’s farm. Everything was to absolute perfection, we had such a warm welcome by Tony who was kind, helpful and great with the kids. Everything you could possibly need is provided, the toilets/showers and kitchen was pristine, the bell tent was set up beautifully, and your own personal fire pit was the cherry on top. Very close to Canterbury and Whistable, both towns full of beauty and character. We recommend to anyone who’s thinking of booking, as we will definitely be returning! Thank you so much.

We had a fantastic glamping experience over the August bank holiday at Bright Sky Glamping. Perfectly located, with easy access to both Canterbury and Whitstable with loads to do in the area. We stayed in a luxury bell tent, which was fully equipped. Impeccable facilities with wonderful hot showers, they have thought of everything! All we need was our clothes. Highlight of the weekend was sitting in a meadow around our fire pit gazing at the stars. Highly recommended. We can’t wait to go again!

Bell Tent

This was a lovely little site in a field in the Kent countryside. The owners have considered their guests needs thoroughly. The toilets and shower areas were clean and tidy and decorated beautifully. The wash up/kitchen area was also very carefully thought out with a fridge freezer with a shelf for each tent and a freezer full of ice packs for cool boxes. There is a charging point with traditional 3 pin plug sockets & also USB sockets- very useful! The tent area itself was again well organised with each tent having a noticeable boundary marked out by mown areas. the area consisted of a tent- more on that later- a picnic table/bench , a camping table with a 2 ring camping stove and a firepit with a bag of kindling & logs provided (which lasted us 3 nights). So the tent- just beautiful - one double futon with bedding and 2 single futons- we only used one so the other was set up as a chair. There are little crates as bedside cabinets and two shelving units with all the equipment you could ever need, mugs, pots, plates, cutlery, a washing up bowl, tea towel- basically if you needed it- it was supplied! Close by there is a nice pub where the food was reasonably priced and decent. you are also on the edge of the Blean, a local nature reserve and about 10 minutes outside of Whitstable. Overall a lovely little site with magnificent views over the countryside and a great base to explore Kent from

Excellent Shower rooms and kitchen area with 2 sinks and large fridge freezer all you need for your trip! I loved my first glamping trip couldn't have found a better place. Sofia xxx
