Where to Stay for Kent Caravan Holidays
Kent caravan holidays work best when you choose the right stretch of coast before comparing parks. Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate suit traditional seaside breaks, with sandy beaches, harbours, attractions and easy days out along the Thanet coast.
Whitstable and Herne Bay offer a slower coastal stay, with beach walks, independent shops, seafood, harbour areas and straightforward access to Canterbury. Dymchurch, New Romney and Romney Marsh are better for family caravan parks, flatter beaches, quieter seaside breaks and days out on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway.
Dover, St Margaret’s Bay and the White Cliffs coast suit walking, coastal scenery and historic days out, while Canterbury and inland Kent work better for lodge breaks, countryside stays, castles, gardens and short breaks away from the busiest beaches.
Compare Kent caravan parks and holiday parks below, including beach parks, static caravan holidays, lodges, family parks, dog friendly stays and parks with pools and entertainment.

Kent Caravan Holidays Near the Beach
