what a beautiful site, we stopped here for a 6 nights just before Christmas, we received a warm welcome when we arrived, the information on site was excellent, plenty of room on the pitch, toilet block lovely and warm, 24/7, bus near to entrance, good grocery store across the road, public house 300 yards the road, 10 mins from Folkstone by car, bus to Canterbury every 20 mins well worth a second and third visit, we will be going back.
Clean, friendly, and handy to the ferries
We took the 'van over to Belgium on the ferry, and stayed at Black Horse one night before, and on the night coming back. Our return ferry was cancelled and we had to get onto a later one, arriving after 5pm, but the site warden rang me and told me she left our info in a cabinet and told me the barrier code, so we had no problems despite having to get in and set up in a howling gale! They also put us on the same pitch the 2nd time as the first, so we knew where everything was (a huge plus because of the aforementioned gale). The site was also a relief because of the hardstandings and paved road after grass and tons of mud in Belgium.
Kindness
The two wardens on duty over the Christmas period were so helpful when we found our fridge and freezer had broken down. They offered us the use of their own freezer and also gave details of people who may be able to help repair the defunct fridge.
The Milestone caravan centre at Hawkinge couldn't actually help, but the owner loaned us a fridge to use whilst we were there. He didn't even ask our name and address.
It's such a lovely site with plenty of walking from the footpaths that go from the main road.
We will stay there again.
We would like to say a very big thank you to the wonderful wardens who went above and beyond the call of duty.
A quick stopover before leaving UK for France, Spai and Portugal
We only used the site as a one night stop ever on our way into Europe. We are are however, going to pop back into the site for a few nights when we return to the UK. We intend to use this as a base to visit a few places in Kent. We found it a great site, the facilities are of the usual high standard that we club members come to expect. We only met one warden who was very friendly and helpful. For those wishing to visit this part of Kent, then this site is a must. If you are heading out of the UK, then again a very convenient site to pitch up. We also took advantage of the Black Horse pub for our evening meal. For those with a dog this must rate as one of the most dog friendly pubs you are ever likely to go into. The beer and food was really nice as were the landlord and landlady. There is a handy Sainsburys nearby, enabling you to fill up with fuel and food. If you prefer, a Tesco’s is also close by. Getting to Euro-Tunnel is a breeze.
Excellent friendly support from the site wardens
We stay at BHF often on the way to the tunnel. Our warden experience has been variable over the years, but the wardens on duty on December 12th were brilliant. We arrived just after 5pm needing a propane refill. Although the site itself doesn't stock gas (surely it should?), the wardens were really helpful and called a local caravan dealer and arranged for him to stay beyond his 5pm closing time to supply us with a refill ahead of our early crossing the next day. A big thank-you to the wardens and their local dealer - BHF is a great site, and the super customer service enhanced our short stay even more.

Just spend a few days at this site so we could explore Folkestone area
Well situated site! Bus stop, local shop and pub within yards of the entrance. Obviously we stayed at a very quiet time of year but there was still quite a few fellow motor homers and caravans making the most of the sunny autumn weather and the serenity of the site.
Beautifully kept and the staff were very helpful! Plus there is a great dog walk on the site!!!
Also lovely local footpaths which are well sign posted and looked after by volunteers'perfect for enjoying the surrounding countryside especially when the autumnal colours are at their best.
Surprisingly one of the 'campers' was only from Dover - he likes staying for a little bit of 'peace and quiet' what more can you say???
Great Location
Lovely site meeting the high standards of the club. Great if you want a trip over the water to France.
Only thing is the damn Cockeral in the farm next door giving it large at an early hour! Did tend to do away with the need for a clock. A guaranteed wake up,call before daybreak.
The site has a very large Rabbit population and this could cause a problem if left unchecked.
Overall a lovely site well worth a stay.
Very friendly,helpful wardens too.
Clean; easy to get to; good pub nearby but no cellular reception
Nice site well organised. Great washrooms, clean and modern. Lovely showers hot and they stay on. There is a good pub just a couple of minutes walk from the entrance and a general store literally opposite the main entrance. Also great accessibility; exit the M20 then a couple of miles on a large A road - couldn't be easier. Only downside was zero cellular signal (both voice GSM nor data 4G)
