About

Cottington Lakes Camp Site is set in approximately 10 acres of Kentish Countryside, just outside Deal and off the A258 Sandwich Road

The site itself consists of 2 separate designated camping areas.

  • There is a South site for Caravans/Tents with 4 pitches with electric hook-up and a further space for a self-contained motorhomes or tents.
  • The main site (North) offers space for up to 14 caravans/motorhomes with electric hook-up, with space for a further 6 self-contained caravans across the site.

The campsite is well situated, on the outskirts of the popular seaside town of Deal, with its many pubs and restaurants, together with a variety of museums and a theatre. For those looking for a more rural holiday, Cottington is well situated for the many seaside/clifftop and countryside walks that make up the White Cliffs Country walks, as well as being adjacent to Betteshanger Country Park, a popular venue with cyclists, but which now also boasts an outdoor cinema (seasonal), as well as hosting many local events.

If sampling the local history is your pleasure then Deal and Walmer Castle are just a few minutes away, whilst Richborough and Dover Castles are also within easy reach of the site.

Amenities

Cottington Campsite is situated within the very popular Cottington Lakes Fishery, which makes the campsite ideal for anyone wanting to spend a quiet afternoon on the bank with a rod in the water. There’s no need to book in advance (unless you are wanting to fish the specimen carp lakes where booking is essential) as there are 6 lakes to choose from and plenty of space to distance yourself, if you prefer.

Tickets are available online or from the on-site tackle shop, who not only supply a wide range of angling accessories, but are also more than happy to provide advice hints and tips free of charge!

There are limited shower and toilet facilities on site, which are cleaned daily by a local family run company.

Lastly, but by no means least, there is a café on site, which is now open, offering a variety of hot and cold food/drinks, snacks and ice creams.
