Great family run campsite set in the Kent woods just outside Canterbury. Decent outside showers with one inside shower, shared kitchen, shop and common area. You can't park directly by your tent, but the family will drive down your gear.

Lovely little campsite with so much character! Matt and his son are lovely and gave us a hand whenever we needed. The location of the campsite is gorgeous with its woods and nearby area dating back to the 1700s. The campsite itself is amazing and homely, and stands out for the creative and vintage feel of its facilities. 10/10 would recommend!

Arrived late in the day, after a nearby pub had let me down with food. Matt was really helpful and pulled together some bits to keep me going. Great to have a place where there are firepits, and very reasonably priced too. Also on the route of the Saxon Shore Way, which was ideal for me! Couldn't have been more helpful - and cool site - fun and quirky, plenty of space! It's proper woodland, with a full-on dawn chorus - may want earplugs - birds really go for it!

We had an amazing time. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The site has lots of lovely walking routes nearby and is very well presented. Electrical hook ups, indoor bathrooms, showers and appliances made our stay very comfortable. We look forward to coming back again soon.

About Puddledock Woods

Puddledock was originally on the edge of Kent, a dock for ships in Roman times.

The Wantsum channel between the edge of Kent and the Isle of Thanet has long since silted, closing the gap between the Isle and mainland. What it leaves is a beautifully diverse countryside now used for farming.

There are many local walks to the coast and through the surrounding countryside.

Wild camping is available in one of our spacious sites in the woodland. You can also stay in one of our Bell Tents if you don’t want to pitch your own tent!

Alternatively you may wish to rent our self catering Lodge, the Horsebox or the Waggon if you prefer some cosy comfort after spending time visiting some of Kent’s local beaches and historic towns.

Wild woodland, a stream, a wildlife pond and meadow await our visitors. We see a wide variety of birds throughout the seasons, mallard ducks on the pond and marsh frogs can often be heard and seen.
