Recent weekend stay

We stayed here for 3 nights over the weekend, I found the sight very clean and tidy but it didn’t have the same feel as other CC sites, there was no shop on sight or any take away options visiting site, it wasn’t very busy when we first arrived so plenty of options to pick our pitch, it did get a bit busier but as so close to train and ferry ports a lot of movement as people would only pitch up for a night, convenient if you wanted to use the site for that option but didn’t feel as good if you are looking at staying for longer period, it’s not a site that I would plan to go back too.

Home from Home

We purchased our caravan last week and decided our ‘maiden voyage’ would be close to where we lived. We found the site easy to access, spotlessly clean (‘Sue the loo’ an absolute asset) The park was a comfortable place to stay. We parked next to the children’s play area yet it wasn’t noisy. We noticed a wasp near to where we parked. We reported this and within five minutes the warden has cordoned this off with clear warning signs. The staff were very friendly and professional and gave us relevant advice when we experienced a few hic-ups. A great place to stay!

Brilliant stay here!

We stayed here as a family of 5 in May half term (2 adults and 3 young children) - we were on a fully serviced pitch no. 72 right near the play area and toilet block (ideal location with young children). We were very impressed with the site and location. The site had lots of families given it was half term but did not feel over noisy. It got really busy come Jubilee weekend. The site was a great location to drive to Folkestone, Dover. We didn't want to come home and would happily return again!

Another Good Stay

We have recently enjoyed another good stay at Black Horse, wardens very accommodating and the facilities kept in spotless condition, can recommend the White Horse Pub in Hawkinge the food is excellent and the staff very friendly, the proprietor of the shop and post office opposite the site is very jolly and welcoming just be mindful of the very busy road as the traffic often speeds much faster than the speed limit

Big pitches and spotlessly clean

Having returned from Europe my husband and I stayed at this camp site on our way home. We were tired when we arrived and, as usual, the wardens were extremely friendly and welcoming. The pitches were exceptionally large and facilities spotless - we would stay again definitely and recommend it to anyone. The pitches are well spaced out but we chose pitch 52 next to the childrens play area - whilst we thought this would be okay as the equipment is only for small children it was used by teenagers who shrieked and shouted - I can only imagine their friends were hard of hearing and the volume was necessary as my own children never did / have or do need to shriek like this. Unfortunately there were also some very poorly behaved boys from overseas who played & ran through our pitch and around our outfit as well as frequenting the bin area and then threw bottles of water at each other which also hit other peoples outfits - it’s not normal behaviour but their parents seemed absent or unwilling to tackle their behaviour. None of this relates to the site as out of their control and the site made up for it. There are few places to walk to after a long journey as the site is on a busy main road. It would be useful to have a list of places where motor homes can park easily in the area - I would have liked to have visited Canterbury. The only thing that disconcerted me a little was, whilst driving through France the day before we stayed on night of 15th July, we received a phone call asking for us to make payment. At the time it was inconvenient - I was navigating through wildfires. The booking said pay at site and, to be honest, me giving my card details over the phone when it is not normal practice for other sites made me a little wary - happy to have paid at time of booking if it’s an issue for them.

Not yer typical CAMH visit

We were allocated a pitch which was a first for us on a CAMH site, not a problem just unclear why. Lot of comings and goings as obviously many people are here for one night only. I got up at 6am and the caravan behind us was already gone, there had been a couple of late arrivals as well. Some road noise depending where you are on the site. A lot of on site traffic some of which well above 5mph so I'd be unhappy with small children unsupervised on site. There was a field occupied by a traveller group. Lot of the sound of children playing and dogs yapping in the day but perhaps that's just a contrast to many CAMH sites rather than a problem. There is a small shop across the road and a local pub. The Canterbury-Folkstone bus goes past the site. Toilet blocks are a bit aged but fine. A proper drive over motorhome service point would be a good improvement. Dog walk isn't huge but nice enough and shady. I'm not sure I'd use it for a longer stop, access to Eurotunnel is it's big selling point.

Camping alongside Travellers

Very useful and friendly site, used many times before, however on our recent stay on 12th July we found a group of travellers were also staying there. There were several oversized caravans, towed by non commercial vehicles, which is illegal, some caravans with no number plates on either, I think the group was 8-10 pitches, all grouped together. There were several non towing cars with them that regularly cruised around the campsite, full of men eyeing up the fellow campers which makes the rest of us nervous to leave our vans unattended, along with other info gathering that could be going on…. The additional car traffic made the site far more noisy than usual too. As if the poor wardens didn’t have enough to do, they felt the need to litter pick around the traveller pitches, which would rarely if ever happen normally. Please explain how this situation has arisen and what steps are going to be put in place to prevent this occurring again?

Mixed feelings

Can see the appeal of this site for people either catching or returning from the ferry terminal at Dover. Other than that it really doesnt hold any real appeal, lower toilet facilities are dated and the water luke warm and they close at 10am for cleaning which frankly is far too early. Useful shop opposite the side on a very busy main road......pub is a bit weird, not serving food after three on a Sunday. Useful for a bus into Canterbury or Folkestone if so needed. Staff were very friendly unlike many other club sites where they seem to have a poor attitude....makes me wonder why they apply for jobs as wardens really...if you dont like dealing with the public then dont apply for the jobs, leave it to someone who enjoys the camping lifestyle.

A lovely site

Stayed for a few days break. Was met by friendly warden who quickly found me a great pitch close to the facilities. The site is quiet but close to all the main routes. Enjoyed the time there. Has a great dog run where you can let your dogs off the lead. Facilities are clean and close to the pitches.

Great place to stay!

This is a great site to stay at - Tony made us very welcome and was extremely helpful. The facilities are great lovely hot showers with good water pressure. Great place to stay if you want to catch the bus into Folkestone or Canterbury (The bus stop is just outside the site entrance) Drop into The Black Horse pub across the road if you fancy a pint - the staff are very friendly
