Perfect pre-holiday site

This is the third time we've stayed at the Black Horse site and although we got there very late we were welcomed and looked after very well as usual. it is the perfect site for a pre-ferry night and enabled us to get the early morning ferry to Dunkirk.  Silly to stay anywhere else - it's so convenient!

Great site

Stayed here on both outward journey to France and return. Site was a great overnight stop for us . Wardens were very welcoming and helpful. Rang us to help organise expected late night arrival after ferry . Would love to stay longer .

Ferry pitches

Booked ferry pitch for our motor home. Arrived just after lunch ferry pitches empty. We were allocated a pitch opposite toilets. As site was empty we asked if we could move to a pitch in the corner to be told no and that they were saving that pitch for a long outfit. The long outfit arrived around 5 ish and it was much smaller than ours. It seems that staff have been reduced from 6 for 4 and this has made the staff very grumpy and non co-operative. To be told that they were keeping a certain pitch for a large outfit was not quite true as when all the ferry pitches were full our motor home was probably the biggest. Will give this site a miss in future. This sort of service without any thought or co-operation makes one wonder if its worth staying with caravan club!!

Excellent

Stayed here on our way to and from France for one night each. Excellent clean facilities and ideally situated for the port of Dover some 20 minutes away. Very clean pitches with very good ease of access. Will definitely use again if travelling through Dover of tunnel.  One word of warning it appears this is mainly used as a transit site with many people staying the one night so if you are planning a longer stay then you are likely to have new neighbours nightly!!

Underwhelmed

I booked this caravan site to ensure a smooth journey on the way from Yorkshire to Southern France. Wardens were fine as was the usual shower block. What I found strange was why the site advertises the pitches as ferry pitches. We were given a piece of grass with electricity, nothing more, nothing less. I was expecting to maybe drive onto a hard standing and drop the legs, not having to move the car thus causing less hastle to other caravan era. At 33 pound a night, a CL would be better value.

Eurotunnel

Used this site as a stop over for Eurotunnel.  Phoned as required by caravan club to explain stopover and said at the time we had a trailer with car on.  When arrived was told we could park trailer next to Motorhome but lady stressed must park the Motorhome the caravan club way.  The pitch barely took the Motorhome so had to park trailer in car park where the tents were at the other end of the campsite - so in the morning had to drive through the campsite to pick up trailer so what was the point in being given a pitch that would not disturb the other campers.  And still cost us £25 for the privilege.  Warden was ok but a bit brash

2016 August 15th Overnight stay

We have visited Black Horse Farm several times in the past, but never on an overnight/ferry pitch. We crossed from France in the late afternoon/early evening at it was just a step too far to travel up to the Midlands that night. We were on pitch 1, which was very convenient for us - close to the toilet block (we didn't want to set up water and waste just for an overnight stay), and we were in the right position to hook up and set off for home at 5am. The toilet blocks were up to the usual high standard and everything worked well for us.

Take the smooth after the rough

The rough was an extremely hot and fraught journey from southern France via the tunnel. The smooth is arriving (late) at the site, picking up your pitch number, settling in and having a fantastic hot, powerful shower in the immaculately clean facilities, a brew and a decent night's kip in the peaceful surroundings. Even though we were late arriving (the system of picking your details up at the board/cupboard is so easy and hassle free) the lovely lady warden bobbed out to make sure we were OK. She didn't have to but we did feel truly welcome and not an inconvenience. There is a tiny bit of road noise in the morning and the workmen drilling at the bottom toilet block started early. However this is obviously only a short term issue and the object is to improve the already excellent facilities, so you can't complain. Don't be put off, this site is superb and I can't recommend it highly enough. It must be good, this is the fourth year in a row we have stayed.
