As no-one's replied, I'll suggest this one, which I've never been to, but put in my virtual brochure as one to visit in future: Grange Farm.

Hope this helps.

Hiya

Ive got the same prob.

Rang up a site called Dovercourt - put them in a search for web address.

They open their new tourer bit soon and offer discounts for ferry users. Also said no need to book.

Hope that helps Kim

The site at dovercourt is called dovercourt haven which is about 10 min ride to ferry terminal you do not need to book and they do a deal for overnight for the ferry.

I know thisbecause i live a 15 min walk from the sight also i have stayed on it before i moved to the area 6 months ago
