Are there 12-month holiday parks in Kent?

1 of the 13 parks with holiday homes for sale in Kent list a 12-month season. Most others open from around March to October or November. A 12-month park is still a holiday park, so the caravan cannot be your main home.

When is the best time to visit Kent?

July and August are the busiest months, with the school holidays and the warmest weather. May, June and September usually have long days and fewer visitors. Most parks are open from spring to autumn, and the year chart on this page shows how many are open each month.

How long does it take to drive to the Kent coast from London?

Usually around an hour and a half to two hours to most of the coast, via the M2, M20 or A299, depending on the destination and traffic.

Which part of Kent should I look at?

Sheppey has many parks close to London, the north coast and Thanet have the sandy resort beaches, east Kent has white cliffs and shingle, and Romney Marsh is flatter and quieter.

Can I let my static caravan in Kent?

Some parks run letting schemes, some allow private letting with conditions, and some do not allow letting. It depends on the park, so check the park rules and pitch licence before you buy.

How much are site fees in Kent?

Site fees vary between parks with location, facilities, season length and pitch. Each park can give you a written breakdown of its current fees and what they include.
