The Canterbury Camping and Caravanning Club site is an ideal stopover when travelling to or from France, as well as a perfect base for an extended visit to explore the history of the Canterbury area. The city is just a bus ride or a bit more than a mile's walk away.
The site is located a couple of miles south of the city, within walking and cycling distance. A mix of hard standing and grass pitches are available, as well as a number of fully furnished Ready Camp glamping tents. Non-members welcome. Dogs are welcome on pitches, but not in the glamping tents, sorry.
