Beware if arriving late!
Beware if you are planning to arrive after 8pm. Every year the rules seem to change. In previous years all instructions have been left at the gate. This year, you still have to collect pitching instructions at the gate, but are required to phone ahead on the day of arrival to obtain a 4 digit code for the barrier. This can be awkward when returning from abroad.
The Caravan Club needs to come up with a better method and communicate all the instructions better through the website or booking confirmations.
A lot of the bookings on this site are one night for the ferries and will always involve late arrivals & early departures.
As always the wardens are very pleasant and helpful.
I have rated 'Peace & Quiet' low simply because of the type of site it is. On ferry pitches you have to expect noise. However the main site areas are quiet.

Convenient for the Tunnel, but ......
We have used BHF quite a few times over the past 3 years with our Motorhome as a great overnight stop on our way to Europe. Travelling from home in the Midlands, being able to arrive after 8pm for an early shuttle or ferry the next day was brilliant. No longer allowed it seems if travelling from the UK, but still ok if incoming to the UK from Europe. Strange but sad .... Hope the CC has a change of heart on this.

A week in Folkestone
I have visited this site before but only as a stopover on the way to France. This is a lovely quiet site with very clean and excellent facilities and the wardens are hard working and very pleasant. There are excellent links to both the ferries, the tunnel and London from this site.
I do not use the CC wifi so I cannot comment on that however did have a lot of trouble with getting a mobile signal.
Black Horse Farm
We stayed for a week from 2nd to 9th August. The site is conveniently situated, very pleasant and quiet with friendly and helpful wardens. The only downside was the appalling Wi-Fi connection. I only use it for e-mails and checking a few things on the internet but that proved very difficult. It generally took a long time to access and when that was eventually successful the connection kept failing. It was particularly galling because on the first or second day I had to renew the Airangel subscription, costing £25, which turned out to be a complete waste of money. The wardens were fed-up with the service and dealing with complaints. Our next visit to a Club site is to Godrevy at the end of the month so I hope the Wi-Fi works better there. I would add that in previous years I have not had a problem.

great forry dover and ferry.
Access was very good, even for big rigs.
Excellent long stay pitches, in addition to the ferry pitches.
Nice walks, but need long trousers if you stay from path as grass is a bit long.
Stayed here a few days when we visited Dover castle and other attractions and would not hesitate to use this site again.
There was a lovely friendly team of wardens and we were pitched in a RV site. All facilities on site were as expected from a CC site so very pleased.

Fantastic site!
We used this site as an overnight stop to catch the Dover to Calais ferry on August 1st. Operation Stack was in operation and so we were worried about a late arrival as there aren't any facilities for it. The wardens couldn't have been more helpful, allayed my worries and we had a contingency plan if we were late. They even accepted a parcel that I had had to order and needed to go abroad with! Definitely recommend the site and wardens!
Tunnel Stop-over
We used this site once again as an overnight stopover for the Channel Tunnel. The pitch this year was a bit tricky to reverse into - made worse by torrential rain! Generally quiet, although someone was inconsiderate at 3am with leaving a very noisy engine running for a long time before setting off. We will, however, be using this site again as it's ideally positioned for the ports.
Overnight Stay in July
Stayed here overnight on our way out to France and would not hesitate to use this site again. There was a lovely friendly team of wardens and we were pitched really near to the dog walk which was brilliant given that it was pouring with rain at the time! All facilities on site were as expected from a CC site so we were very pleased we'd chosen this option.

Handy stay over before traveling to Europe.
When travelling to Europe we normally use Black Horse Farm Club Site. As always Black Horse seem to get marvellous wardens. This year was the same again, we used it going out and coming in from Spain. They were friendly and even came and saw me in regard to my daughter having to cancel when she came of the boat, due to major problem at home on her husbands side. The warden was even able to refund my daughter the sight fee. Well done the Wardens and The Caravan Club!
