Nice site, but needs a reburshment

Lovely, wardens. Site immaculate, but some pitches needed more gravel, as a bit muddy in places. Shower blocks very clean, but need to be modernised. Need a drive over drain for grey waste, as an aged lone camper could not lift drain covers. Pub opposite (The Black Horse) excellent. Had a sandwich lunch there and a Sunday roast. Both delicious. Highly recommenced. Road very busy and bus service a bit unreliable at times.

Not too bad…

We stayed for one night before going on Le Shuttle. Pitches were generally good and fairly spacious which is what most normal people want! My husband and I agreed that the shower and toilet block could do with some updating as looking very tired. Showers were good though. Located by a noisy road but this gets quiet at night. Not much to do if you were there for one night onward travelling. However, I’m sure Canterbury and area would be great to visit if you were staying a few nights. Our only disturbance was from 5am onwards with lots of pigeons cooing in the trees above us and eventually non stop hopping and skipping on to our motorhome roof! Perhaps avoid a tree area or hope for the best…

Typical club site as expected

Our friends arrived about 2ish knowing we would be much later and knowing we intended to BBQ together on the Saturday they spotted cones on certain pitches so they asked if it’s possible to save a pitch next to them as we were on our way, they were told no and were told the cones on pitches were for “heavy vans” well we are 3.5 ton but hey ok so we ended up quite a distance from each other, we parked on a pitch and went to say hello to our friends after about 20 mins after arriving the office called to ask what pitch we were on I couldn’t remember I said my wife was on her way to the office via the loo but I was told to go back to my pitch to confirm while on the phone as “the system “ couldn’t be closed without the details? Funny that as when we stayed a few months ago our booking details were left on the board outside and we were told to ket them know in the morning?? Anyway we had a great weekend and moved closer to our friends on the Saturday, I do get no reservation of pitches but we had paid in full and on our way so maybe its just a case of too many rules and not being flexible. Without sounding like im moaning £33 per night come on club prices are getting silly. Nice walks nice put bus stops outside

Lovely well maintained site with very friendly staff

We stayed for 2 nights over the Mother’s Day weekend. Had lovely weather on our first day and drizzle when we left but to be expected in March. Visited Folkestone coastal park and walked through to Folkestone harbour arm discovering a new outlet of HatHats for coffee and ice cream. Had good fish and chips from the local takeaway and managed to use the Wi-Fi to watch a film in the evening. The site is lovely on the edge of a village with sheep in the fields next door. It’s a well maintained site with very friendly staff who are happy to help if needed and always say hello when they’re around the site. It is definitely more than somewhere to night stop for the ferry/tunnel with loads of places to visit including Canterbury, Deal, Dover Castle, Folkestone, Hythe and lots of seaside. We will be back.

Glad to hear its going to be getting a refurb, but very handy location.

Stayed here for a few nights before going to France. Friendly warden to check us in, although never saw them around the site, but was given handy info on walks/ nearby pubs and direction to the Tunnel from the site. We had a large hardstanding pitch which was a good size but was definitely looking tired, as I thought the whole site was, so was glad to hear that they will be closed at some point to be redeveloped. I hope when they redo it that they incorporate all the good things about Brighton club site especially the pitch sizes. There is a good length dog walk to a nearby wood, unfortunately we were there in fowl weather so the walk across the fields was extremely muddy which then stuck to you boots like clay, but I'm sure it would be nice in better whether. We also heard mixed reviews about the nearby pub across the road and we didnt get chance to try it but walking past it we thought it looked nice from the outside so would probably chance it should we be there again. I look forward to staying there once its been updated.

Outstanding

Our last site in France was completely flooded meaning we had to catch the tunnel earlier than anticipated. I phoned the site and they were able to change my booking for the following day to that night. Such a lovely change to deal with people that are understanding and helpful. Well done and we will definitely be recommending you to all our friends.

Handy for late arrivals and early leavers.

We were headed across to Belgium for the Christmas markets and needed a stopover. The easy checkin with the barrier code and allocated pitch is a great idea. We were surprised the ferry pitch area was closed and that we were on the regular pitches, albeit close to the exit. The facilities in that area seem better than the ferry pitch facilities.

White Cliffs of Dover and a channel crossing

Great little spot to explore Dover from and also to stay the night previous to catching the ⛴️ to Calais. Clean amenities and Tony at reception is very friendly and helpful

More than just a Ferry Site

Now I have stayed here plenty of time before,but on a ferry pitch,so this was my first time in the inner part of the site.Pitches are large,and had been raked before hand.I visited in lovely September sunshine,but this inner section was fairly well wooded,giving plenty of shade,if fact too much,the ferry pitches do get full sun. Visits included the Hawkinge Battle of Britain museum,where I spent over 4 hours in there,Folkestone Harbour with its redeveloped Station is worth’s visit. So many pubs and bars were caught out with the lovely weather. I did a walk to the lovely village of Elham, this is how Kent used to be,with old traditional village pubs,and picturesque views over the Elham Valley Canterbury is not too far for a day visit.All in all,this site has more to offer than just ferry pitches.
