About The Sunny Field
A family-friendly, off-grid camping and glamping site surrounded by the idyllic countryside of the Kent Downs and easy reach from the coast. You're also close to walking and cycling routes on the nearby North Downs Way. Welcoming tents and campervans (in their own dedicated zone), the camping pitches are set on an 8-acre car-free meadow. There is plenty of space with a range of pitch sizes to suit most guests, and as car-free camping, wheelbarrows are provided for ease. Pitches also include a fire pit for those looking to toast marshmallows as the sun goes down. If you're looking for a bit of luxury on your camping holiday, stay in one of the 5m bell tents. Each one has its own unique interior with exciting themes ranging from 'Alice in Wonderland to 'Under the Sea'. Inside, the bell tents are furnished with fresh bed linen and come with everything you need, including a gas stove. Don't forget to bring your toothbrush and towels. Children can run free, and dogs are welcome. The site can accommodate groups together, including glampers and campervans.
The site is open for the late May bank holiday and half term then for weekends between 14th June and 16th September.
Facilities include hot showers, onsite compost loos, a tyre swing in the oak tree as well as a wood-fired pizza oven.
Down at the house, you'll find the site's own Atcost Barn Coffee Shop offering a range of hot drinks. The George Inn on Stone Street is also just over a mile away serving locally produced and home cooked food.

Super environmental friendly camping with a welcoming owner. Super homemade pizza on Friday, a large pitch and a quiet place. The showers and compostable loos were always clean - a real piece of paradise!
Great trip

We had a lovely time at The Sunny Field. We went as a new family of four. There were a few other new babies that we noticed and our 4 year old had plenty of children to play with. The facilities are basic but clean. The campsite was very peaceful and the location is fabulous. We visited the lower leas coastal park one day, Canterbury on another day and also went to Lydden Hill to watch some car racing. The coffee is fab too 👍🏼
Lovely stay in a beautiful setting!

We loved our stay at The Sunny Field. The campsite itself is lovely, located in an area of outstanding natural beauty; very unspoilt, with trees surrounding our field and long meadow grass between the large pitches. Eco-friendly off-grid camping is really important to us, and The Sunny Field does that very well. The campsite is definitely family/child friendly, but also great for us as a couple with a dog looking to relax. We loved being able to have a campfire, and the starry night sky was incredible!

Canterbury is less than a half hour's drive away so why not explore the city and head to the cathedral before a picnic at Westgate Gardens?
Closer to the coast, Dymchurch beach is ideal for soaking up some sunshine on the sandy flat while looking out to the Channel.
