It is not a place with formal campsites of its own, and as everywhere in England, wild camping without the landowner's explicit permission is not legal, so anyone wanting to camp nearby should look to established sites in the surrounding area rather than pitching in the open countryside. The wider district has a reasonable spread of options for campers and glampers. Along the coast towards Deal and Sandwich there are touring and camping parks that make a good base for combining a countryside stay with beach days and visits to Deal Castle, Walmer Castle or the dunes and links courses around Sandwich Bay. Inland, smaller certified sites and farm-based campsites are dotted through the villages around Eythorne, Nonington and Eastry, often simple, low-key affairs with basic facilities that suit tents and small campervans looking for a quiet rural pitch rather than a resort-style holiday park. Glamping has also taken hold in this part of Kent, with a growing number of shepherd's huts, safari tents and small wooden pods available on farms and smallholdings within a short drive of Tilmanstone, offering a more comfortable way to experience the same countryside without the demands of a full tent pitch. The best time to camp here runs from late spring to early autumn, when the farmland is greenest and the coast at Deal and Dover is at its most inviting, though the area is mild enough by English standards for shoulder-season stays too. Whatever the season, the old colliery land at Betteshanger Country Park, now reclaimed as parkland with miles of walking and cycling trails, is one of the best nearby reasons to base a camping trip in this part of East Kent, alongside the historic pull of Dover Castle and the White Cliffs a short drive to the south.
