Capel Battery

The sharp cry of gulls and the distant rumble of Channel waters drift across this historic clifftop site, where grass pitches occupy the grounds of a Victorian coastal battery. Perched on the dramatic white cliffs between Dover and Folkestone, you'll wake to vast sea views that stretch towards the French coast on clear days, with salt-tinged breezes and the ever-changing light show of maritime skies overhead.

This is a site for those seeking something wonderfully unpolished and authentically coastal. Families and couples who value location over luxury will find themselves perfectly positioned for exploring Kent's spectacular coastline, with cliff paths winding in both directions and the region's rich wartime history literally beneath your feet. The site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to its exposed but utterly memorable position.

Facilities are straightforward—basic toilets and showers serve the pitches—keeping the focus firmly on that extraordinary setting. The exposed nature means it's best suited to fair weather camping, though the views make any wind worthwhile. Check campfire policies on arrival. This is simple, spectacular clifftop camping where the landscape does all the talking.
