The Sunny Field is a family-run campsite set in eight acres of wildflower meadow in the Kent Downs, just south of Canterbury. You can choose traditional camping, furnished bell tent glamping, or a grass campervan pitch, with every pitch offering its own private campfire in a car-free setting where children and dogs can roam safely. On site you'll find composting loos, hot showers, standpipe taps, a small café serving speciality coffee, and wood-fired pizzas most weekends, all kept deliberately off-grid with no Wi-Fi or electric hook-ups. Beyond the meadow, Canterbury and its cathedral are around twenty minutes away, with Folkestone's beaches, the White Cliffs of Dover and the Eurotunnel terminal all within easy reach, alongside museums such as The Agricultural Museum and the Railway Museum for days out.
