 The campingsite is very large. Very friendly and helpful reception. Pitches are not all the same size. We could change to the larger next one.
The noise of the train every our during dayte is not extreme.
The distance to the sanitary blocks is a bit of a challenge. Approx. 100 metres. And they were spotless. One thing for me special: I really love music in the sanitairy. But what I don't like is all the talking about nothing. Why no non-stop music like sky radio? When I was lucky I heard 2 songs during toilet and shower. They really have to change the radio station.
Busstop and train station are close by which is very nice.
We extended our stay, which says enough about the site.

A great site for a stopover on the way to the ferry/tunnel.
Sanitary facilities are plentiful and well maintained with 10 washing up sinks!
Our pitch backed on to the railway line which was a bit noisy but not too late at night.
The short drive from the A road to the site is quite narrow but has enough passing places to be ok.

We stayed initially as a family group, as we were commemorating a beloved sister/mother who had enjoyed camping and been with us there despite declining mobility. I had stayed here before but hadn't done so since before Covid and had forgotten quite how lovely it is.
The site is very well cared for with mown grass, shrubbery and flowers and a new woodland walk (all very eco-friendly). There is a recyling area near Reception, which we didn't find to start with and an important point - as the site is quite extensive and rather a walk to there (unless you drop off waste as you go out by car or have a bike!).
Although extensive in size, the various sections give the impression of a much more intimate site with some more tucked away behind hedges, some delimited hardstanding and grass pitches, and a couple of more open but hedged grassy paddocks.
It was very quiet when we were there but from previous visits, it can get busy as it's a useful stop-off point for the channel crossing.
The facilities were clean and prettified with plants, a nice touch. A water point in the first paddock would be a useful addition, as would a facility for freezing ice blocks.
The cafe (which is a real gem, great breakfast) did agree to freeze some for us, but I think it would be helpful to offer this service, even at a small cost (as we have had in France). Even some small certificated sites provide a freezer for campers to use for that purpose. Not everyone has a camping fridge or chooses to use one.
Other than that, we had a lovely time, and will return, hopefully without the thunderstorm or poignant reason.

Stayed here 2 nights before ferry over to France.
£33pn including electric.
Nice site. Has a small cafe, we can recommend the chilli.
Lovely to walk around the site and see all the quirky bug houses etc.
Clean facilities and we liked the natural rustic look of the site itself.

I stayed for two nights to do a day trip to Calais. By bicycle, Dover Port is about 30 mins away over the hill by the castle and people on cycles get in via the truckers checkin, so it's quite fast.
There is a back road route to Dover signposted Skylark Trail via Guston, avoiding the A258. You can also follow this trail to Deal. The loaction is good for other cycle routes and you can easily cycle out and then return by train.
The station is 1/2 mile from the site and all the trains are turn up and go for bikes. As half the trains are those on High Speed 1 to London, you can do a day trip to London in just over an hour. You can also easily get to Folkestone to see the public art and The Harbour Arm with it's restored station, restaurants and bars.
There is a very good children's playground about 10 mins walk away, maps in the loos. It's got a long side down a hill side which I know my kid would have like when they were young.
Facilities are very good and staff are busy keeping things mown and emptied. Reception very friendly. The toilet block furthest from the entrance is the older one, but still very clean.
The only down side was the cafe (independently run) which didn't open at the advertised 09:00 on my last day, so after 20 mins I gave up and missed the full english I had promised myself.

Clean campsite near Dover ferry port.
The ladies at reception were very friendly. I was allowed to choose where I wanted to park and chose a spot between the hedges.
The parking space was near a railway line, where a train occasionally passes. Since the railway line is just before the station, the train moves quite slowly and the noise didn't bother me. Apparently there is no train at night, at least I didn't hear about it or I missed it.
The condition of the sanitary facilities was OK for me. Everything worked.
----------
Sauberer Campingplatz in der Nähe vom Dover-Fährhafen.
Die Damen an der Rezeption waren sehr freundlich. Ich durfte den Stellplatz frei wählen und habe mich für einen Platz zwischen den Hecken entschieden. Der Stellpatz war nahe einer Bahnlinie, wo gelegentlich ein Zug vorbeifährt.
Da sich die Bahnlinie kurz vor dem Bahnhof befindet, fährt der Zug recht langsam und die Fahrgeräusche haben mich nicht weiter gestört. Nachts fährt wohl kein Zug, ich habe zumindest nichts davon gehört oder habe es verschlafen.
Zustand der sanitären Anlagen war für mich OK. Alles hat funktioniert.

Great campsite - well looked after and very clean facilities - toilet and shower block heated with plenty of hot water and even has the radio playing!
We had a hard standing pitch which had EHU and water points very close by.
Nice pub 15 min walk away, and Martin Mill train station only 5 min walk away (which goes to Deal, Sandwich and Margate in one direction, and Dover in the other direction - very handy for exploring the surrounding area).
Laundry is coin operated.
We’d definitely return to this lovely site.

Large site but had the feel of a small one as very nicely landscaped with shady spots to shelter from the sun.
Not many pubs open nearby and a hilly walk to the sea.
Enjoyed our stay.

Excellent site. Very well kept grounds & spotless amenity block.
Close to Martin Mill rail station, 3 people return to Deal just £8. 40. return to Ashford International was £28.
Fab cafe on site with amazing breakfast, hubby is very particular about his sausages & declared these excellent! We also ate at the Chance Inn, about 2 miles from site, also fab food. Walked there & £7. 50 taxi back.
Would definitely return.

First time at this site and was not disappointed. The site is spotless and peaceful.
The toilet and shower facilities are up there with the best at a site I have seen. Staff are very friendly and helpful. What more could you want.
If visiting this site please make sure you do not leave without trying the cafe. Superb. Breakfast alone is well worth the visit.
Massive thanks to all staff for a very enjoyable stay.
