Ideal euro tunnel stopover
Stayed on our return from France, superb location from the euro tunnel, ideal with the 2 dogs. Will definitely be staying on our return trip next week. Lovely clean facilities and pleasant surroundings.

Used this site because of its location great for enjoying that part of Kent. We have a motorhome so having a bus stop a shop and a pub within walking distance was a real bonus. The wardens are really friendly and eager to please and as said before the facilities were spotless, would definitely recommend as a base for the surrounding cities

Nice location but pricey for the facilities not very good for children
Great site for visiting the surrounding Kent coast and countryside. The wardens on site were lovely and in fact I would even go to say 'that they were the friendliest wardens we have come across'. Cleanliness was superb but the site lacks character. There is only a small dog walk right next to the very small and inadequate play area for the kids which is tucked away in a corner (smacks of let's keep the kids out of the way of the adults sort of attitude, NOT the wardens fault though), and there is no playing field for the kids to have a kick around with a ball. Pricy as well for lack of amenities, as an example; we paid £29 per night (ok we were on a serviced pitch) but for that price and that time of year, it was way to expensive. After all this would we go back to Black Horse Farm; yes but only for a weekend as explained above.
Christmas Holiday
We had a lovely cheerful welcome when we arrived.Black Horse is a lovely peaceful site. The toilet block was spotless all the time. The dog walk was perfectly useable. I feel I need to mention that it was a bird scarer that went off in a near by field from 7.30am periodically during daylight hours and not a firearm as mentioned below.
Ideally Situated
Was welcomed by a very friendly and smiley Gail. Apologies if the spelling is wrong there Gail. Very clean, we noticed immediately how clean the washrooms were. I commented to my son as I went into the mens, how nice it was. No kidding, it was stand out clean, cleaner than if it had only just been built. So impressed. The Pub over the road was very welcoming too. and very good food. This site was ideal for us as we had an early sailing the next morning. 20 mins from the port. Will be booking again very soon.
Black Horse Farm at Christmas
We have stayed at this site on a number of occasions now when we come down to Kent to visit family. Its location and the fact it's open all year make it ideal for us. This year, our visit spanned Christmas so that there were plenty of empty pitches to choose from. The peace and quiet were only disturbed by somebody on land adjacent to the site repeatedly discharging a firearm from shortly after 7 in the morning. Presumably this would be a farmer or maybe the MOD which has ground nearby. Either way, there's nothing the club could do about it. Our only real disappointment was the result of a lot of rain prior to our arrival and on one night whilst we were there that our pitch flooded. Because of the lack of pressure on pitches, we were able to sneak onto the pitch across from ours till morning, by which time the flood had disappeared into the chalk subsoil. Sadly, the same couldn't be said for the dog walk which was unusually muddy. Fortunately, the wardens were fairly happy for dogs to be walked on leads around the rest of the site. We never used the onsite facilities so we can't comment on them other than to say that we enjoyed observing a good number of our fellow caravanners making the journey to the shower block in the wind rain and frost whilst we took full advantage of the onboard facilities in our cosy motorhome. We'll be back again as I am sure most other visitors will.
