Good for Channel crossings

Stayed just one night on way to France, as it is only 15 minutes from Channel Tunnel. This proximity is the selling point, although agree that those leaving early should be put on the ferry pitches if possible. We were allocated to the next closest pitches as only staying one night, but didnt need to wake up as early as our neighbours who left at 5am! Facilities are dated but clean and perfectly acceptable. Dog poo in the dog walking area - why dont other owners pick up?? Very helpful warden on arrival explained everything we needed to know, and there is a code check-in and envelope with all instructions if you arrive late.

welcoming

My wife and i stay regularly at this site, it suits us location wise and is kept to as good a standard as it can be by the wardens as like most sites everything is not new. I believe it is the wardens (all) that make the site what it is as they know how to be welcoming, fair, helpful, polite, easy to ask and good at their job, it is a site where you can easily get settled and relax.

Needs updating

Ideal for stop over as close to Folkestone and Dover.Nice pitches surrounded by rabbits which was lovely to see. But site is dated, in the toilet block the tap swivelled around, the toilet seat was not on properly so moved.The motorhome service point water tap leaked so as you filled up lots was coming out which should be fixed as is costing the club money and wasting water. We were on a standard pitch but found those on an early ferry were not put on the ferry pitches which were not full but around us. So from 5 am we were woken by people leaving early which is annoying.

Great site with the most helpful staff

First stay on this site. Chosen for its proximity to Canterbury and Whitstable. Not happy with first pitch 59 a little dark and no satellite signal due to trees. Staff very accomodating and we were moved to pitch 108 next morning. Excellent pitch then. Large site but not busy busy so very enjoyable stay. Little shop opposite the gates was ideal for afternoon ice creams . And a post office within to post our holiday postcards. A great site. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again . Caution though. Because we moved pitch ,the club not the staff ,decided to recharge us at 'todays prices' instead of what we originally paid when we booked in June . Added £40 to our stay. Currently being sorted and better be refunded . We moved from a hard standing to grass which is £1 cheaper for a start but we wasn't concerned about that. Staff have offered to help if we get nko satisfaction from the club . But a great 6 nights here

NOTE: Fully serviced pitches

Lovely site in a great location with good facilities and great staff, let down by the sub-standard fully serviced pitches. If you don’t want fully serviced pitches it’s a fabulous site. We booked a fully serviced pitch expecting what we have received at multiple other sites, lesson learnt - don’t assume fully serviced pitches are all to the same standard. On siting our caravan between the two posts, as directed, it became glaringly obvious our regularly used long length water hose was not going to reach the tap - this was a first. There were two taps together sited close to the next pitch, the caravan on the next pitch was attached to one leaving the other for us - no way could our hose reach that far, not even going under the caravan! The only electric connections available were directly behind the caravan on the next pitch. Bizarrely the waste water drain was directly behind the pitch. We surmised the set up was a poor attempt to make two pitches into fully serviced pitches. The only way we could set up was to turn the caravan 180 degrees (thank goodness for the motor mover) so it was facing front in on the pitch, not ideal but the only way our water hose (used on all other sites) was going to get connected. Thankfully the site staff were happy for us to be facing the wrong way. We like to use the shower in the caravan, having a water hook-up us ideal for this purpose. As the pitch was next to a service point we opened the door onto it, albeit behind a small hedge, instead of away from it. We were thankful there wasn’t too much noise from bottles, cans, rubbish etc getting put into bins. On the plus side we met a lot of people as it was very well used. Lovely site but if you’re booking a fully serviced pitch ask questions and when you get to the pitch take a long look for your water and electric connections before you site your van, it may save you time. Would we go back? Maybe, but we’d definitely ask questions about the available pitches first and consider using two connecting water barrels instead of paying for fully serviced.

Great location for Le Shuttle

Used the site because it was close to the Le Shuttle terminal and because it's so close to the bus stop for Canterbury and Folkestone. The facilities are starting to look past their best, particularly the ones near the entrance. The staff are great - friendly and helpful. I'm sure we'll stay there again

Very helpful staff

It was my second time at this site. I want to thank the employee (sorry, I can't remember his name) who helped me when I had a complete mental aberration one morning. I drove off with the canopy of my motorhome still out, with the legs pegged into the ground! He was lovely, sympathetic, helped to sort out the damage I'd done and didn't make me feel an idiot. I won't do that again! I have no idea if the site is good for families or not so have only given 3 stars for that aspect.

Great for Eurotunnel

We stayed at Black Horse Farm last year exploring the local area. This year we stayed just for one night due to it's proximity to the Eurotunnel. It made our journey much more relaxed having somewhere nice to stay the night before we left for France. It's just a short drive, about 15 minutes, if that, to the Eurotunnel check in area. The site is not only convenient it's clean with good sized flat pitches and friendly staff. If you have dogs there's a great dog walk just across the road.

Ferry pitch start and finish of holiday.

We booked a ferry pitch at both ends of our trip to the continent. I feel it is a little expensive for what is in reality a parking space for approximately 12 hours. The facilities are adequate when you consider that people are coming and going at all hours so that there isn’t the usual “ rush hour” morning and evening like on most Club sites. Good job though because the facilities near the ferry pitches are limited in numbers. Can’t comment to much on the Wardens. Never saw one. Obviously well organised though as you collect an envelope from the board outside reception with your name or your registration number on with your pitch number and site information. What more do you need? Would I use again? Despite the cost, it is handy for Channel Tunnel or Dover ferries, so yes.
