Beware of what you enter in Sat Nav.
Capel Farm
It is 11 years since we were on this CL and I have to admit some of the reviews nearly put me off. Yes there have been changes and the images used here is no longer representative of the area. It is half the size now and a fence down the right size covering a storage area for mobile homes and caravans.
There are however other options other than this field , especially if you are just an over night stay and want an early get a way. We had a call from friends as we were making our way south to ask where we were booked into. They were also going to be in the area for a tunnel crossing. When we arrived their mobile home was in the court yard next to the wedding venue and good toilet facilities. Also electric points. We were met by the owner a lady who advised ( as we had heard ) there may be. a lorry moving during the night so suggested we also park next to our friend as less likely to be disturbed. We always used to stay on a small grassed area opposite the court yard which she said we could be more likely to hear the lorry there. As it happened I was awake around 2pm when for a few seconds I heard a large vehicle leaving the site. It certainly would not have woke me up and even then did not disturb me. ( Others may have had a worse experience. )
The one thing I want to make clear is that if you use a Sat nav DO NOT enter Satmar Lane as you destination. Satmar lane was divided by the A20 many years ago and there are various options for that now , a couple of dead ends and also unsuitable for large vehicles. We thought we knew where we should go but like fools near the end followed the Sat Nav. Use Capel Street as your destination and follow that down and through a residential area that is quite a narrow road , it also has a primary school so avoid the school run. Parking on both sides of the road at times so at busy times there is a bit of pulling over and waiting. Continue along til you cross over a bridge over the A20 and then right into the correct part of Satmar Lane. Also a dead end but the Capel Farm is before you reach that.
There is also a toilet and shower up at the main CL field and Chemical toilet. £15 per night and yes I would use again if crossing the channel again.

Capel Farm
We stayed here for one night in anticipation of our Eurotunnel transfer to France. The site was easily accessible and had all necessary amenities. Site staff were welcoming and courteous. Would gladly return.
NOISE
Capel Farm
Stayed from Tuesday to Friday, the first three nights we were woken at 2am by people loading vans with meat using a mechanical digger. The vans are on the CL just the other side of the hedge from the caravans around 20 metres away. Spoke to the CL owner who said she has never had a complaint before and we should feel free to change pitch to put ourselves further away from the loading, sadly this was not possible as there were already three caravans the other end off the site so no electric points available. On speaking to a couple of regulars on site they told me there had been numerous complaints since the owners started renting an area to the Meat company. This site is close to the main road so we expected some traffic noise but van loading at 2 am a few metres away is completely unacceptable. Its a shame because the CL itself has neatly trimmed grass and a regularly cleaned toilet/shower, also taps on each pitch BUT the broken sleep ruins the whole place. Would not stay here again and certainly would not recommend to others. (note, the picture on club website is also out of date as it shows a decent size field for pitching, a third of this has now been turned over to storage so view across site is now of a storage area rather than trees.)

Fabulous Site
Capel Farm
We stayed here for one night on our way to France what a peaceful and pleasant site. It’s is ideal for catching the shuttle, however it is a lovely site if you want to tour the surrounding area. We received a warm welcome and setting up was easy. The pitches are spacious, the chemical waste was clean and easy accessible. For only £10 a night it is value for money. One minor point is one of the approach roads is narrow and if you meet a car coming the other way it’s a bit tricky, however judging by the size of caravans and motorhomes using the site it does not seem to be a problem. Well worth a visit.
We stayed last aug 2017 and made to feel more than welcome in what i can say was the worst storm ever they where so helpful we have just booked again
