Disappointed with this site

We stayed here for our main summer holiday from end of August until 12th September, 14 nights in total. The site location is absolutely great and very easy to find and get to from the motorways. Folkestone is just down the road with buses running like clock work directly outside the site entrance. The female warden who checked us in wasn't very welcoming or friendly. I met her a few times afterwards, greeted her to be polite but she never responded back. My main niggle is the lower toilet block is still out of action. Reading some of the other reviews it seems like they have been out of action a long time. The club needs to get a move on and get them sorted. The only toilet that works is the disabled one in the lower block. I asked to be near a toilet block due to my mobility issues. I was placed down near the lower disabled block, so were all the other disabled people. We had 5/6 other caravaners using the one toilet and it got dirty rather quickly. The water kept going cold half way through a shower in the lower disabled toilet block. I reported it to a another female warden but she didn't seem bothered about it, she gave me a sob story about the boiler.filling with cold water. She then told me you can always walk up to the top block and use that one if the water goes cold down here. I was shocked by her response. The pitches were mostly covered in weed, the gravel off the pitches are all over the roads they never got brushed back on the pitch. The site is in desperate need of a revamp. This is our 4th year caravaning and luckily we have had the pleasure of visiting quite a lot of club sites. Most of the sites we have been to are well kept and beautiful but sadly black horse farm site isn't one of them beautiful well kept sites. Sorry to be so negative but this is my opinion of the black horse farm site.

Very convenient for channel crossings but avoid pitches by the main road

Stayed for one night prior to taking the Eurotunnel in the morning. Site is the perfect location for that purpose, and everything was clean and tidy. Arrived a little later than expected due to M25 traffic, but received a call beforehand so cant fault the helpful, friendly wardens. We were on pitch 11 which is right next to Canterbury Road (literally the other side of the hedge), and be prepared if you are in that area - as it is noisy. The traffic calmed down towards midnight, but was noisy again from the early hours with trucks and heavy traffic. Very disturbed nights sleep, but otherwise good. Probably much better at the other end of the site.

Recent visit

I use this site frequently for family visits. Last visited over the August Bank Holiday and was disappointed to hear at 8.55 hedge cutting in the ferry pitch area. I don't think that this particular hedge needed cutting down at that particular time. I appreciate that the wardens have to maintain standards and they are always so friendly and helpful. Please remember that this is our holiday and to have the bank holiday monday disturbed so early was incredulous. This noise became a discussion point with other campers who were disturbed. I know some people believe that my observations maybe over the top but we are asked to keep noise levels at a satisfactory level and to respect other campers, please can the wardens do the same.

Great location

Great location easy access to bus route going to Canterbury and Hythe. The staff were friendly and helpful. The toilets and showers desperately need an update they were cleaned regularly and the water was hot so no real complaint. The pitches are well spaced and have plenty of room. We hope to return soon.

Great location but on a main road. Facilities are a bit dated compared to other sites but plenty of space

Great site, pitches well spaced, good facilities and well placed for reaching many POI's. Although lower toilet block was closed this was no problem for us. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the site.

A lovely little site, booked late but didn't disappoint!

Booked this site a bit last minute, but was not disappointed. Plenty of pitches to choose from, went for a grass pitch and even during long spells of torrential rain it drained well and our son's pup tent stayed flood free! A nice little wooded dog walk which is secure to let dogs off lead. Yes, the toilet blocks do need updating but the shower water was absolutely piping hot, so I am definately not complaining! There is a small amount of road noise, but this was not a problem for us and the passing spitfires made up for it! The wardens were welcoming and friendly and maintained the site beautifully - well done and thank you! If you want an easy and delicous meal, visit the catering van on site on a Thursday evening. We have been disappointed by these vans on previous sites but this one was by far the best we have ever come across. Lots of choice, even for non meat eaters, and generous portions at very reasonable prices. The two guys running the van were so friendly and professional. I only wish they travelled as far as my home town!! Would definately recommend a visit to Dover Castle and The Battle of Britain Memorial - do not get mixed up with the Battle of Britain Museum, two very different places!

Lovely site but toilet blocks need attention

Lovely site - fabulous large pitches which are well spaced out. Friendly staff who are working all the time at keeping it maintained with regular grass cutting etc. Great location for short drives to some stunning coastal walks. Visit to the Battle of Britain memorial is a must, also a walk at St Margaret’s Bay is worthwhile as are Folkestone and of course Dover. Lidl supermarket about a mile away and a little shop over the road from the site stocks essentials and has very helpful staff. The only thing letting this site down are the shower and toilet blocks. Not the wardens fault at all - they keep them really clean. But the club maybe need to prioritise them as part of the maintenance programme. One of the two blocks was completely closed. The other is very tired looking. One loo in the ladies was out of order and toilets were blocked while we were there. Unacceptable. Sadly we wouldn’t return or recommend until the club update the facilities.

Excellent stay at this site. We booked it at the last minute and didn't expect much but were pleasantly surprised. The wardens were very helpful.

The site was clean, covid friendly and the wardens were very helpful. We booked at the last minute and didn't expect much but were pleasantly surprised. What a lovely area and we can't wait to return with our friends.
