Large Group Camping in Kent

Sunnyfield is set up to handle large group camping in Kent without losing the space and privacy that makes the site what it is. Rather than fitting a big group into one packed corner of the field, pitches for larger bookings are arranged across the 8-acre wildflower meadow so that everyone still has enough room around their tent, bell tent or campervan. Groups larger than three tents are the main reason this page exists, and it's a booking pattern we deal with regularly, from stag and hen weekends kept low-key to work groups and long-standing friend groups who camp together every summer.

Family Reunions and Multi-Family Camping Holidays

Family reunion camping is one of the most common reasons groups get in touch through this page. Grandparents, parents, children and cousins from different households can each have their own tent, bell tent or campervan while still being pitched together, gathering around neighbouring fire pits in the evening rather than one shared space. For a multi-family camping holiday, this usually works better than trying to fit everyone into a single large property, since each family keeps their own space and pace while still being a short walk from the rest of the group.

Mixing Camping, Glamping and Campervans in One Group

Not every group wants to stay the same way, and Sunnyfield doesn't require it. A large booking can combine standard camping pitches, furnished glamping bell tents and campervan pitches within the same group, which is useful when some of the party want the comfort of a bell tent, others are happy under canvas, and someone else is arriving in a van. Letting us know the mix in advance is what allows pitches to be kept close together rather than spread out across different parts of the meadow.

How Large Group Bookings Work

Because pitches are allocated by party size rather than picked on arrival, group bookings at Sunnyfield are handled directly rather than through the standard online calendar. Once you get in touch, we'll ask for rough numbers, tent types, and preferred dates, then work out the best way to fit your group into the meadow while keeping everyone together. As with individual bookings, full payment is taken at the time of booking, and the same cancellation terms apply, with a 50% refund available given 28 days' notice.

What to Expect as a Group

Groups staying at Sunnyfield get the same setup as every other guest: a private fire pit at each pitch, hot showers, compost toilets and standpipe taps shared across the site, and wood-fired pizza most weekends, which tends to become the natural gathering point for a larger party in the evening. The site stays quiet after 10pm and there's no amplified music anywhere, so this suits groups looking for a relaxed, fireside stay rather than a loud one. Up to 6 guests are accommodated per pitch as standard, with larger arrangements discussed directly for bigger family or friend groups.

A Group Campsite Close to Canterbury and the Coast

For groups wanting more than a fire and a field, Sunnyfield's location helps. Canterbury and its cathedral are around 20 minutes away, Folkestone's beaches and the White Cliffs of Dover roughly 25 minutes, and the North Downs Way runs close by for anyone wanting a group walk before breakfast. It makes the site a workable base for a group getaway in Kent that wants a day out together as well as evenings spent around the fire.
