Ideal for tunnel/ferry

Third time we've stayed here prior to early morning trip to France. Lovely site, well laid out and excellent facilities. Would be good for longer stay as close to lots of Kent attractions - something we hope to do at some point

Great for Onward Travel

Stayed here for one night and both ends of our French trip. Wardens friendly and efficient at checking us in. Its always worth remembering this site does have people coming and going at all hours do catch ferries etc. Site currently undergoing work and the toilet blocks currently look tired although i am sure they are due a refurb. Cleanliness was very poor on outward trip but this was 100% the fault of fellow campers leaving them in a right state. Shame! I would definitely stay again.

Abrupt Warden

Hi, we stayed at Blackhorse from the 24/08/16 - 26/08/16 (two nights) having previously stayed there on many occasion. I was due back to work on the Friday night so I had to go home but my wife was interested in staying longer to make the most of the piece and quiet and also to spend a bit of time with her parents who were also staying there. On the Thursday night she inquired about availability of pitches so that she could extend her stay longer to which she was told there is none but check in the morning as there could be some cancellations. Unfortunately there were problems overnight which resulted in a power failure (not our fault). I went to the ask the warden about availability @ 09:00 were I was met by an abrupt lady who quite rudely told me that as she had no power she couldn't see and to come back in a couple of hours to check (this was awkward as I needed to get home in time to get some sleep before going to work in the evening). My wife then went to see the warden after 10:00 to ask the same question were she too was met with the same abruptness as myself, the wardens comments were I TOLD THE MAN EARLIER THAT I CANT SEE BEYOND SATURDAY WHICH IS FULL BUT THERE IS AVAILABILITY TONIGHT AND TO CHECK LATER, obviously this was not possible as I needed to get home. I know she wouldn't and didn't need to know our pernosal circumstances she also has my complete sympathy regarding the situation on site at the time due the power failure, but there was and is no need to be as abrupt and quite frankly as rude as she was. This unfortunately made for a disappointing end to an enjoyable couple of days and cap it all there seemed to be pitch availability as my in-laws stayed longer and said that our pitch had remained vacant on the Friday and there were pitches available on the Saturday.

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!

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.
