This article talks about the 10 best beaches in Kent, and we are not surprised to see the gorgeous Dungeness Shingle Head make the list.

We think Dungeness is one of the most interesting parts of coastline in the country, but don't take our word for it! Visiting Dungeness is easy from Herons Park Campsite, and can be done by a 10 minute drive or a lovely long walk through the Kent countryside.

Our wardens recommend planning for a full day out, walking across Dengemarsh beach to Dungeness, taking in the wooden huts and boardwalks, plus the imposing lighthouse, before popping in to the amazing The Pilot Inn for some fish and chips for lunch. Next head back to the campsite via the Dungeness National Nature Reserve, or via the Sound Mirrors in Greatstone if you want to include some impressive WW2 history in your day out.

It's a long but interesting walk with gorgeous coastal views and interesting sights along the way, so make sure you bring your walking boots and binoculars.

There’s something about sunny nights at the campsite that makes us feel nostalgic 🤩 we love seeing all the kids outside, playing on the park and making new friends, playing football and badminton on our football pitch, or fishing on our on site lake. Camping is perfect for making new friends, making memories and enjoying nature 😍
We are fully booked tonight but we have space this week, take a look at our website for availability, or call us on 07585316316

We are lucky at Herons Park Campsite to have so many brilliant places to visit on our doorstep!

This week the spotlight is on Rye, only a short drive away from our site in Lydd. You can even get the bus from Lydd High Street!

Rye is a gorgeous medieval town with cobbled streets and picturesque old buildings. The most famous place to eat there is The Mermaid Inn, one of the oldest and most historic pubs in Britain, which is rumoured to be haunted and to have a long history with smugglers. Some more modern guests include Johnny Depp, Pierce Brosnan and Charlie Chaplin.

We also love the Castle, which is an affordable way to spend the afternoon at only £5 per adult, and free for children.

When you have finished exploring, check out the many shops and eateries, including Knoops by the Landgate, which does the best chocolate milkshakes we have ever tried.

If you are looking to explore the South East of Britain, Herons Park Campsite is the perfect base. Call us on 07585316316 or head to our website www.heronspark.com for more information and to book.

Top marks if anyone spots our warden Lauren enjoying a drink in the Mermaid beer garden, all for research of course! 😉

One of our lovely campers had a very successful afternoon fishing our beautiful lake, netting this 24 pound carp. Our lake is stocked with carp up to the mid 30s, plus other species like tench, rudd, roach and eel. The perfect way to spend time while camping!

What a brilliant Easter Bank Holiday weekend! It’s safe to say that everyone had plenty of chocolate and eggs! The colouring competition was great fun, with our lovely owner Linda coming down to pull names from a hat to choose the winners.

Donald’s ice cream was a popular addition as always, and the sun even made an appearance 🐣🐥🪺✝️

Anyone camping this weekend might find some little gifts from the Easter Bunny hidden around the site, so keep your eyes peeled!
