But if you can’t manage a 20 minute walk, there is a bus right outside. Very clean and well maintained, there was a pizza van on 2 nights, fish n chips one night and ice cream van most afternoons😋. Super friendly and helpful staff and very quiet despite its size. Fab woodland dog walk with an abundance of doggy bins 💩 😂 · via Google [Sally Smart](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114174962145765408502/reviews) ★★★★★ Very well kept site with decent amount of space around your spot. Easy to catch a bus to and from the main road which is two mins away to go into Canterbury which is well worth a few hours to explore the city, gardens, shops and places to eat and drink. Make sure you walk through the back streets as that way you will see even more history. One slightly annoying thing is I wish there were more bins around the site other than the main ones at the entrance. Club members and over 60's cheap as chips for tents with ehu. · via Google [Ian](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102288658306085017946/reviews) ★★★★★ This is the 3rd time I've been to this campsite and it is becoming my favourite. The site is very well maintained the facilities are always in brilliant condition. The staff are wonderful. It's a short walk into canterbury but if you dont feel like walking there's a bus stop on the road outside. The site is very quiet. There are lots to good walks in the surrounding area. · via Google [Richard Woods](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108974516731000227916/reviews) ★★★★★ Clean and well appointed site in a good position for Canterbury etc. DISAPPOINTED that they chose to bump the price up every night we chose to stay. No good reason given and not inexpensive to begin with. Not sure what membership is giving us. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47decbdbfdb26d87:0x5e7b78831302b604!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** 3 Simmonds Road, Canterbury, CT1 3RA [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.2746089%2C1.0709085) **Category** Arcades & Gaming **Suitable for** Ages 13+ **Setting** Indoor **Dogs allowed** Yes **Good for children** Yes **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** Canterbury [More attractions in Canterbury](https://staycation.co.uk/canterbury/attractions) [Visit official website](https://www.canterburygaminggrotto.co.uk/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01227 451086](tel:01227451086) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Canterbury **Postcode** CT1 3RA **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9F3374G6+PW [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x47decbdbfdb26d87:0x5e7b78831302b604!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x47decbdbfdb26d87:0x5e7b78831302b604!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x47decbdbfdb26d87:0x5e7b78831302b604!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Canterbury Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
