As with the rest of England, wild camping is not legal here without the landowner's explicit permission, so pitching up in fields or woodland on a whim is not an option; instead, campers should use licensed sites, certified caravan and camping club locations, or farm-based campsites in the villages around Chilham, several of which sit within easy reach of the North Downs Way and the Stour valley. The terrain here is a mix of chalk downland, hop gardens and orchards rather than open moor, so sites tend to be small, tucked into farmland, and often family-run, with a more intimate feel than the large holiday parks found nearer the coast. Many combine a working farm with a handful of pitches, and some offer glamping options such as shepherd's huts, bell tents or converted horseboxes for anyone who wants the Kent Downs setting without bringing their own tent. Late spring through early autumn is the most comfortable season for camping around Chilham, when the orchards are in leaf or fruit and the North Downs Way is at its most walkable; blossom time in April and May adds a particular charm to the surrounding countryside, while high summer brings the warmest weather but also the busiest weekends, especially around any castle garden open days. Early autumn often rewards campers with settled weather, harvest colours in the hop gardens and orchards, and a quieter village to explore. Whatever the season, the compact scale of the area means a campsite near Chilham puts you within easy reach of the village square, the castle grounds, and a short train ride from Canterbury, making it a good option for a slower, more rural counterpoint to a cathedral-city break.
