Good site / Great staff!

This is my third visit to this site and for me it just gets better every time.  Access is one of the easiest as it's nice wide turn off the road. And once you pull up behind the hedge, that screens the site from the road, you are in another world. For me it's one of piece and tranquility.  I find the wardens are friendly but respect that you are on holiday. Saying that on my arrival the heavens opened up and just running across to the office and back I got soaked! But their greeting and sense of humour put me in a good frame of mind. On reaching and setting up my pitch, the sun came out, ( makes me wonder if there is a special tap/ switch in the office that they use)! On my day of departure, I needed to run an errand and asked if I could delay my departure should I run late. They were happy to oblige. Ten out of ten for staff and site!

Brilliant site.

From the time we arrived to the time we booked an extra night because we liked it so much,  the staff were helpful friendly and professional. ( yes they proved it is possible to be all three) granted it wasn't high season. So there was peace and quiet by the bucket loads. - with a small general store just out side the site gates. And bus stops close for us bus pass carriers it was a dream come true. Can't wait to go again.

Helpful & friendly

As new caravan owners we found the site staff really helpful and welcoming, with lots of offers of advice if we were stuck! Everything was spotlessly clean when we stayed. Nice dog walks in Reiden Woods, there is a walks leaflet in the infomration hut. Had a cider in the Black Horse pub on the way back to run off the walk! A relaxing easy weekend.

Mostly excellent

This is a lovely well kept site close to Folkestone and Dover with a good Pub within walking distance and a small shop opposite the entrance. We had a superb large full service site at the bottom of the site one of the best service pitches I have used. The wardens are mostly cheerfull and helpfull however one warden was quite agressive with her interpretation of the excellent CC rules. For instance she insisted that motor homes reverse onto their pitch. This made it difficult for foreign motorhomes. One couple with a large german motorhome were upset with the fact they then could not get their motorbike off the rack on the rear, plus the awning was on the wrong side! They then were even more upset that when they were trying to manouver the large vehicle they went on the grass and they same warden rushed over and gave them an official warning. Another motorhome had a similar problem and both said they would never visit the site again. But in future use the camping and caravanning site nearby.

Just Passing Through!

We always use this site when using the Tunnel / Dover Ferries both in and out of the UK.  We can't find a good safe site in northern France and this works for us really well.  We tend to arrive late and leave early so our only contact with the wardens is on the phone and we pick up our envelope when we arrive with all the information.  It always works well, the site is well looked after, the wardens are courteous and helpful on the phone.  It does what it says on the tin!  One day we will call, meet and thank the wardens at a civilised hour.

Great for Crossing the Channel

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
