About Sunnyside Farm Chilham Certificated Site
Tucked in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near the historic village of Chilham, Sunnyside Farm is a peaceful adult-only retreat limited to just 12 pitches. The site makes an excellent base for exploring Canterbury—a short drive away—or walking the North Downs Way, which passes nearby. Facilities are straightforward: electric hook-ups, showers, toilets, fresh water, and chemical disposal, with dogs welcome throughout.
Open year-round, it suits couples seeking a quiet escape rather than those wanting entertainment or WiFi. The rural setting and small scale mean you'll enjoy genuine tranquillity, though some may find the simplicity a little basic if they're after more amenities. Still, for exploring Kent's countryside and medieval villages without the crowds, it's a solid, unfussy choice.

What visitors say
We spent a relaxing 3 nights here & had a wonderful time. The site was perfect & we will definitely be coming back. It was so peaceful & so lovely to hear the birds singing with acres of land to walk our dog around the apple orchards next door.

This is quite a nice site located only about 5 miles from Canterbury it well located for visiting all the coastal places of interest. We were on this site for 2 weeks and while we like a quiet site this was too quiet only about 2 pitches occupied at any time, I cant understand why, Pete who owned the site was a lovely chap and couldn't be more helpful, the shower block didn't seem quite finished or in need of some repair, the shower were very nice better than most sites we have visited in the last 30 years, there is a security camera system that we found out later doesn't work. These site fees are very reasonable so I would still recommend this site.

Nice sized site, facilities and friendly, helpful staff. A mile walk to Chilham railway station but this is the best way into Canterbury to avoid the traffic jams & parking fees.

Hi the owner of the animals on the other side!they are completely friendly just please don’t feed them anything :) the rheas on the other hand..just be careful of them as the white one (the male one) is very protective of them. There are 3 pigs,2 horses and 3 rheas (and chickens but they are in a separate coop!)
