Ok

This site is ok and nice and quiet. I feel the toilets were dirty and needed to be updated. There is only one sink in a corner to wash your hands. The wifi was not very good. I paid to join it and I still had great difficulties picking it up. I think they turned it of at night.

Great site

Stayed for one night enroute to Calais. The site is very clean, quiet, and the wardens are very friendly and helpful. Lovely pitches, we are thinking of staying longer next time.. Great pub across the road selling homemade food. Happy

Onenight stop over with a pleasant surprise

We had a one night stop over here and it was very pleasant. After arriving at midday we wondered what we could do to entertain ourselves and were informed there was. Bus stop right outside the site that took you into Canterbury. The family bus ticket cost £10 and we had a great day/evening in Canterbury would definitely recommend, can't wait to stay again x The office staff also advised to go another way to the ferry which helped us avoid Operation STack at the time, we even managed to get an earlier ferry because we arrived in time x

pleasant stay

i stayed at black horse for 1 night on way to dover to catch ferry . Although it was just 1 day i found this site to be very clean and well organised .Staff very friendly and took time to contact me when i was running late just to check things were ok . Perfect place to stay on way to ferry or euro star or even to just explore the area .

Overnight for Dover Ferry

Ideal stop for the ferry, easy to book by phone and straight forward booking in on arrival. Staff were quietly efficient and friendly. Didn't use any on site facilities but the pub down the road was able to supply a meal and a pint.

An important site but!

I have stopped at Black Horse Farm many times over the last 20 or more years. I have seen it get more and more busy as it's such a convenient location for the cross channel ferries and the Channel Tunnel. I think the staff must have a busy job given the number of arrivals and departures especially during the Summer months. I have often considered how it operates compared to sites abroad . I value it highly but I would like to see it operating more flexibly. For example why not free up the wardens by employing cleaners. Don't close the facilities when people are leaving site. I would be willing to pay more for a more flexible service here. Keep the site open longer in the Summer months. I thought this year's requirement of having to ring the site from France to obtain a barrier code created work for the wardens and assumed I was able to ring from France on the day of my return. I was called when driving even though my daughter had confirmed I would ring. The pitch allocated was not ideal for a twin axle but that's another matter which is not connected to my desire to have this site available . I understand the security issue when people arrive late but I am not convinced the current solution is working well. I wondered if a new barrier system could be looked into. Technology exists (I have seen it on German sites) which allows campers to have their own codes . I think my comment about Summer hours applies across the site network. The club has become less accessible especially for families caravaning on weekends since the Working Time Regulations were introduced. Why can't we have longer opening hours as in all Eurpoean countries?

First time caravaners

As first time caravaners we could not have asked for a more friendly welcome than we received at Blackhorse Farm. The help and advice we were given by the team at Blackhorse Farm was excellent. The site itself is immaculatly maintained with clipped hedges and neatly mowed lawns. Our two children (aged 10 and 7) were made to feel equally welcome. The main purpose of our visit was to get to grips with our new (to us) caravan. Having only purchased it a few days before hand. Again the staff provided expert help and advice which helped make our stay far more comfortable and relaxed. Having upgraded from a tent to a caravan, we are used to campsites and it is my personal opinion that Blackhorse Farm is one of the tidiest and well looked after sites we have visited and will definitely be returning.
