Canterbury Reach is a lodge-only park in the countryside south of Canterbury, run by Darwin Escapes. It was formerly a touring and camping park called Yew Tree Park (also sold as Canterbury Fields); today it lets self-catering lodges with a full kitchen and decking.

The park is deliberately low-key: Darwin describe it as having no facilities on site, so bring what you need and use Canterbury, ten minutes away, for shops and food. There are woodland and meadow walks nearby, and dogs are allowed in particular lodges for an extra charge.
