Handcrafted Cabins, Glamping and Camping in Kent
Welcome to our place
Canvas and cabins in the beautiful natural surroundings of the Kent countryside
Our family run campsite and venue is tucked away amongst the trees on top of a hill, in the heart of the beautiful Kent landscape.
Take it easy and move into one of our fully kitted out Canvas Bell Tents or our handmade Wooden Cabins, or bring your own tent and camp in the sunny meadows or the shade dappled woodlands.
Whatever you choose, join us for a down to earth and playful camping break. See you soon!

Accommodation
Earth friendly
Keeping the environment happy and healthy is a priority at Welsummer. We aim to ensure a sustainable environment for you and the surrounding flora and fauna to share together side by side. We try not to over manicure, keeping our gardens semi-wild and do our absolute maximum to keep rubbish and pollutants off the site. Our woodlands and meadows provide a natural eco-system for wildlife and a pleasant place for us all to be.
Dog friendly
Furry friends are welcome at Welsummer. Direct access to miles of footpaths to keep both dogs and their owners purrfectly exercised!

Yes we do!
We do love doggos and wouldnt want to exclude them from the fun. Dogs must be kept on a lead within the site, but there’s plenty of access to footpaths for miles of walks and even the local pub is dog friendly too.
Some glamping tents are excluded to provide allergen free accommodation but your furry friend can come camping too if you are bringing your own tent. Dogs are also allowed in some of our cabins. There is a charge of £10 in glamping and cabins for an extra deep clean.
There are also two outdoor cats on site, who keep out of the way but if your dog is a chaser, be sure to keep that stake secure.
You can check in from 2pm, check out is before 12.
Late check out can be arranged for a small fee if available.
If you are glamping with us or staying in a cabin, you will have access to ‘The Kitchen Cupboard’ a little shed with a variety of cooking equipment like cast iron pans, kettles, tripods and utensils, dishes and cutlery. There is also a small fridge for essentials like milk and medicines. There are grills with each firebowl but we also sell brand new ones if you want to have your own. There is more information about whats included in each unit in the specific accommodation details.
If you are camping with us, hot showers are included. There is a firepit or firebowl at each pitch.
Firewood is not included but we do sell everything you might need for your fire.
No, we have purposefully separated cars from pitches to ensure a comfortable, safe and natural setting for each accommodation, however the cars are really not far away. Some pitches are closer than others of course and you can request to be as close as possible. The closest is about 10 metres! The furthest is only maybe 150 metres. Wheelbarrows are provided for your use, but please let us know if you have accessibility issues and we will do what it takes to help!
