We stayed here as a stopover for catching the ferry from Dover. They are very organised and oriented for this. Phoned and paid beforehand, this was because they sort the pitches based on the exit times of those heading to Europe. As others have said the showers were hit and miss, but acceptable. Pub opposite wasn't the best more to do with the language of the patrons than anything. Bit of a walk, but found a nice chippy in Hawkinge. Would stay here again.
Excellent Location for The Channel
We were very pleased with this site. The location is absolutely ideal for Dover or the Tunnel and the little pub opposite 'The Black Horse' is superb. The facilities are very clean, if a little tired but I expect this is a very busy site. Pitches are well spread around large hedged areas, the staff were extremely helpful to us.
Great location for ferry, facilities a bit lacking
On our way over the channel we decided to try Black Horse instead of Hythe for a change. As we were quite late we basically slept, got up showered and left early. The staff were super helpful on the phone, so we were very happy to stay here on our return trip. Again we were delayed and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful on the phone. The next morning however we woke to find that the women showers were being cleaned at 08:30, with the mens due to be closed at 09:30. I know this is primarily a transit site for those travelling, but really, 08:30 !! Aside from this the shower facilities are pretty tired, and we agree that the temperature of the water wasn't great. A very useful location, but could do with a little work.

Good stay but!
We had a really great week. Ladies showers were super but when I related this to my husband he said the men's showers were not too good temperature couldn't be controlled. Staff very pleasant.

Chilling down before the French adventure
Arrived at 5pm, cheery welcome from reception and directed to my Ferry pitch. Good easy to park and level so no faffing about with wedges. Visited the local pub and had a great meal, then back to the van for an early night. No disturbance during the night, those leaving early in the morning didn't wake us and we felt nice and relaxed for the short run to Dover. Would we go again? Definitely

Transit site only
Having just spent seven nights at this site the first visit for six years, on our previous visits the top site was used for ferry users only and the lower site was normal users both completely separated now the whole site is used for ferry pitches most are non awnning throughout our stay on the lower site units were on the move from 4am with no consideration those trying to sleep so as a ferry stop over it' s a good site if however as a normal site forget it especially at #19.2 per night a big rip off

Ok
This site is ok and nice and quiet. I feel the toilets were dirty and needed to be updated. There is only one sink in a corner to wash your hands. The wifi was not very good. I paid to join it and I still had great difficulties picking it up. I think they turned it of at night.
Great site
Stayed for one night enroute to Calais. The site is very clean, quiet, and the wardens are very friendly and helpful. Lovely pitches, we are thinking of staying longer next time.. Great pub across the road selling homemade food.
Onenight stop over with a pleasant surprise
We had a one night stop over here and it was very pleasant. After arriving at midday we wondered what we could do to entertain ourselves and were informed there was. Bus stop right outside the site that took you into Canterbury. The family bus ticket cost £10 and we had a great day/evening in Canterbury would definitely recommend, can't wait to stay again x The office staff also advised to go another way to the ferry which helped us avoid Operation STack at the time, we even managed to get an earlier ferry because we arrived in time x
pleasant stay
i stayed at black horse for 1 night on way to dover to catch ferry . Although it was just 1 day i found this site to be very clean and well organised .Staff very friendly and took time to contact me when i was running late just to check things were ok . Perfect place to stay on way to ferry or euro star or even to just explore the area .
