Dog-friendly holiday parks in Kent

The Garden of England is the ideal place for a dog-friendly holiday. It is both its proximity and contrast to urban life that makes Kent a game changing option for a canine compatible escape. A short drive from London transports you to refreshing and relaxing greenery, and a different environment for your furry friend to enjoy.

Our Kent Coast Holiday Park is conveniently positioned along the Thames estuary, home to spectacular scenery. Take your dog along the Isle of Grain, gaze out at the sea, and you’ll see an abandoned ship, the SS Richard Montgomery, without doubt one of the UK’s most unique tourist sites.
