5 of the best Kent caravan holiday parks - 2021

Kent often gets overlooked as a UK holiday destination, but it's got a long coastline with several seaside towns such as Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate. It's also got plenty of local history, including Canterbury Cathedral and a number of impressive castles such as Hever, Leeds and Dover for a start.

We've picked out ten of the best holiday parks in Kent by looking at reviews, facilities, location and price. We've only included caravan parks which have accommodation you can rent, rather than touring and camping parks.

1. Allhallows Holiday Park (busy coastal Haven park, indoor and outdoor swimming pools)

**Winner: best value Kent holiday park**

Allhallows Holiday Park is another family friendly caravan park in Kent with plenty to do onsite.

It's run by Haven, which has 30+ parks around the UK. As a general rule, Haven parks are a little more expensive than Parkdean Resorts sites, though there are exceptions.

Allhallows doesn't score quite as highly with customers as some Haven parks, with review sites awarding it 3.5/5 to 4/5. However, it does have plenty going for it and will suit those who like the familiarity of the Haven brand. 

Like most Haven caravan parks, Allhallows is near the coast, although bear in mind it's a shingly part of the Thames Estuary rather than a glorious sandy beach. 

The park has indoor and outdoor swimming pools, fishing, tennis, evening and kids' entertainment, play areas and minigolf as well as somewhere to eat. 

It's also pretty quick to reach from London. On a good day, you could get from the middle of London to the holiday park in just over an hour in a car.

Price: £449 for a standard two bedroom caravan for a family of four, staying for a week in August 2021

2. Seaview Holiday Park Whitstable (busy family park, outdoor pool, coastal location)

As the name suggests, Seaview Holiday Park in Whitstable is right on the coast and it gets positive reviews from visitors (4/5 mostly). It's just to the east of Whitstable and is about 10 minutes in the car from Herne Bay

It's run by Park Holidays which has 30 holiday parks along the south of England.

Seaview Holiday Park has an outdoor swimming pool for those who like to say jolly things like "well, that was bracing!"

It also offers entertainment for children and adults and has a children's play area

Price: £1187 for a week in a Bronze Plus caravan for a family of four in August 2021

3. Foxhunter Park near Ramsgate (outdoor swimming pool, short drive to the beach)

I can't help feeling Foxhunter Park in North East Kent may be a little geographically confused with its outdoor swimming pool and Mediterranean trees and plants.

Nonetheless it gets solid reviews of around 4/5 from customers. Do bring a thick jumper just in case...

Besides the outdoor pool there's also a children's playground. It's a little way inland but you can be at the beach in Margate in about 15-20 minutes. If you want to visit Canterbury Cathedral it's a drive of about half an hour.

The cheaper holiday homes are caravans whilst the posh option is a lodge with a hot tub and a woodburner.

Price: £765 for a week in a Manston caravan for a family of four in August 2021

4. St. Margaret's Bay Holiday Park near Dover (indoor swimming pool, coastal)

St Margaret's Bay Holiday Park is run by Parkdean Resorts, which now has more than 60 holiday parks in the UK after merging with Park Resorts. They've got two parks in Kent but we think St Margaret's Bay just about edges it over Romney Sands.

St Margaret's Bay, near Dover, is a busy and family friendly park which is also a pretty cheap option in our price comparison. It's got an indoor swimming pool, gym, children's play area, restaurant and something called an 'alternative therapy clinic', though you do pay extra for some things.

Local attractions include the famous white cliffs of Dover and Dover Castle. The local beach is about 20 minutes walk or a short drive.

Customer reviews are mostly 4/5 and the park has also won The David Bellamy Bronze Award for Conservation.

Price: £649 for a Lydford Bungalow for a family of four for a week in August 2021.

5. Canterbury Reach Lodge Retreat (posh lodges, basic facilities)

Canterbury Reach Lodge Retreat is certainly at the posh end of the holiday park market, but it's not much more expensive than many basic caravan parks. 

It makes our list thanks to consistently high scores from customers, which were averaging 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor when we checked.

There's a shop on site but that's about it. Don't come here looking for splash parks and bingo nights. Instead, this is a good base for exploring Kent and Sussex in decent quality lodges.

One downside with Canterbury Reach Lodge Retreat is that it's not all that near the seaside. Whitstable's about 25 minutes away in the car whilst Margate is 45 minutes. Having said that, it's within the Kent Downs so it's a pleasant drive.

Other local attractions include Canterbury Cathedral (15 minutes drive) and Leeds Castle (35 minutes).

Price: £1415 for a week in an Appledore Lodge for a family of four in August 2021.

Price comparison of 5 of the best caravan holiday parks in Kent

We looked for the cheapest accommodation (of any type) for a week during August 2021 for a family of two adults and two junior school aged children. Our searches were carried out in November 2020 and don't include discount codes, upgrades or extras. Generally, it's cheaper to book longer in advance with holiday parks but you will find that discounts appear from time to time which give a good saving.

​Here's our top 5:
  1. Haven Allhallows Holiday Park - £449 ​**Best value holiday park**
  2. Parkdean Resorts St Margaret's Bay Holiday Park - £649 
  3. Foxhunter Park - £765​​
  4. Park Holidays Seaview Holiday Park - £11​87
  5. Canterbury Reach Lodge Retreat - £1415
