We're thrilled to announce significant investments to enhance your experience at Black Horse Farm Club Campsite, closing the campsite on 5 October 2025 when the works will commence. The campsite is due to reopen on 10 July 2026, however some ferry pitches will be available earlier in the spring of 2026 (as will the storage facility). Before the full July 2026 reopening, the ferry pitches will operate offering a non facility/service point only experience (with a 20% price discount to reflect this).
Find out more details on the exciting redevelopment plans at camc.com/redevelopments.

Ideal for channel crossings
Our first stay at Black horse farm. The site was clean. We had a ferry pitch which was small and only hard standing but as we were leaving early in the morning it suited our purpose and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again if it was for a short stay.

We initially booked to have the caravan stored on a short term basis for 2 weeks. Steve was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. He was very accommodating especially as we were stressing about the time we would get there. But he was calm and efficient and made the... Show more

Excellent stopover for Channel Tunnel
Have stayed here before for a few nights to visit Canterbury and Folkestone and it's in such a great location. Particularly like the off lead area for the dogs and the easy transport links. This visit was an overnight stop before catching the train, an easy 15 minute drive...perfect!
