 Haven't been to this site for about 11 years and it doesn't look a lot different. Not that I had any complaints then.
Easy to find.
Easy access.
Beautifully clean facilities.
I rejoined the C&CClub to be able to make the most of the discounts available however I was surprised to find that there are no fully serviced pitches. I don't mind emptying the toilet but there didn't seem to be many water points so refilling the butts was a daily trek.
I do have one serious criticism; I gave up on the awning, trying to hammer the rock pegs in after bending 4.
I don't like hardstandings but these were 5cms of gravel and then solid concrete.
I have to say that this one thing would stop me visiting again.

We have visited this campsite a number of times due to it location and facilities. Our MH is 8. 2M. There is a drive over grey waste. The staff are friendly and helpful.
We booked rather late and our stay included some of the May Bank holiday week and the only pitch available with electric was a hardstanding jumbo pitch which was £50pn.
However it was really handy for the facilities and got the sun all day so I'd book it again. The bus stops are just on the main road and one goes direct to Sandwich.
We also caught buses from Canterbury bus station to Whitstable and Margate.
Canterbury itself is such a lovely place to visit with lots to see.

Love the site, easy access from the main road, hated the weather and would have liked both shower blocks open as it was very busy.
Love the on-site pizza, lovely walks on and around the site.
Bus stop to city centre right outside the site, 10 mins and your in the middle of the city.
1/2 hour and you can be at the coast.
Not the first time we have stayed and will definitely be returning

We stayed four nights at the end of April 2025.
Good site, well looked after. Two facilities blocks with good showers.
Lovely woodland walk on the site.
Ensure you have good rock pegs if intending to erect an awning on the hardstanding pitches.
Very quiet when we were there even though the site was busy with a regular turnover of continental visitors. I assume due to the proximity to Dover.
Good location about 1. 5 miles from Canterbury. It took us about 30 minutes to walk into the city.
We also visited Dover castle (35 minutes drive) and Walmer castle (40 minutes drive). We walked the sea front path from Walmer castle through Deal to the site of Sandown castle and back to Deal for lunch. Returned to Walmer castle for a quick visit and coffee. Will probably return to Walmer castle for a longer visit when we revisit the area.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider this site for another visit.

1st time at this caravan site & area. We arrived after 1pm as requested travelling from Cambridge, so pulled into a layby for a time before travelling on to the site as we were early.
We had to get through Canterbury town which is busy. The site is only 1 mile out of the town so is walkable if your able but up hill going back.
We were warmly greeted by a female member of staff & shown to our pitch. We had a choice of what was available the 1st choice not for us but picked a pitch in the Paddock which was great.
We were on a hard standing pitch, some pitches around the edge of the field were under trees & grass. You need very strong pegs if putting an awning up on the hard standing pitches.
We found our area very tidy & all adults so very quiet which was also commented on by our neighbours. It was school time in Canterbury but even at the weekend we didn't get any families in our area, there was units coming & going all the time, its a very busy site.
There was areas around the site we would not have liked a pitch on as a lot of trees around. We found the toilet blocks very clean & tidy.
There was washers & dryers £3. 50 per wash, £1, dryer. The warden told us about a 10% discount on food & drink at the golf club over the road, go, the food is lovely & on a nice sunny day you can site outside over looking the golf course.
They don't do a Sunday roast every weekend which we went for but was not disappointed in the food we had. There is a bus stop outside the site on the main road, bus's run every 30 minutes into Canterbury, or Sandwich the other way, then changes to Deal I think every other bus.
In Canterbury you have a vast choice of bus's going all over. We travelled to Whitstable, Faversham & Folkstone from Canterbury & went to Sandwich & Deal the other way. We enjoyed Canterbury itself walking on the walls, going into a lovely park with a river running through it with Punts on.
There is the Umbrella Cafe inside the park which is a community cafe but we had a lovely 2 course meal & a drink each & it was so cheap, go try it for yourselves.
Faversham also had a Umbrella cafe too. We did not go into the Cathedral as only selling yearly tickets at £17pp & as we wont be back in Kent next year we didn't purchase one.
All in all we enjoyed our trip & the site.

We arrived early as we were not travelling far. Seems very petty that we weren't allowed on our pitch even though it was free. Had to sit & wait!
Staff were helpful but it it hadn't been a club site we would have been shown to our pitch when we arrived.
Thought the showers were broken BUT actually you just have to hit the button about 6 to 10 times before hot water makes it through, seems such a waste of water.
Site was pretty & well looked after.

We visit several times a year as we have family nearby. I'm really sorry to say that on this visit the sites standards have slipped and work needs to be done to restore our previous high opinion.
Whilst the site assistant who greeted us was a nice friendly guy I never spoke with any of the others or saw them except when they were chatting to each other in a group.
I don't think seeing a Site Assistant vaping is a good look for CCC, Or walking their dog in uniform mid morning and ignoring site visitors.
The bathroom facilities look very tired and dated, and shabby. Our block wasn't cleaned to the standard I've previously enjoyed.
The flower planters were sadly neglected and the whole place looked unloved. A real disappointment as it the past few years it's been neat, weed free, clean, bright and well tended.

As expected a high quality site from the Camping and Caravaning Club. It was nice that the small tents were in their own space, so grouping trvaellers together whilst not feeling over looked by caravans. The loos are very close to this area too. Spotless facilities and helpful staff.
The only problem with the small tents section is it is next to the hospital and the day I was there they had a delivery the other side of the hedge at 06:15! You also get some traffic noise from the boy racers on the main road. I'm knocking marks off my location rating for this.
If you are cycling to the site, I would not recommend cycling up the hill on the A257. Instead go slightly futher north and use Chaucer Road. There is still a hill, but the road is much quieter and you can then get to the site on the paths through the new housing estate on the former army site.

Took a couple of nights at my local club site, just to try out the new camper. Just before Christmas, and yes, it was cold.
I had confidence that the club site would be good: clean and warm shower block, and a free choice of pitch.
The site I’d estimate was at about 10% capacity: busier than I thought.

Loved our stay here.
Large site but nicely laid out so doesn't feel too big.
Wardens were very friendly and helpful.
Site was clean and well maintained.
Bus stop for buses into Canterbury just outside the entrance.

Good site for visiting Canterbury and surrounding area,
Bus stop outside to Canterbury and then more buses to the coast like Margate.
Clean facilities.
You can also get a drink and food I the golf club opposite when it is open.

A lovely site not too far from the city of Canterbury with easy access just off Littlebourne Road, opposite the golf club go down Bekesbourne Lane about 25 yards and the site is on your right.
This site is open all year and has a mixture of hard-standing and grass pitches available but no service pitches.
Two facilities blocks which although kept clean by the staff struggled to cope when we were there as it was busy. There are simply not enough toilets, showers and basins.
The layout of the site is very good as it is divided into different sections, staff help you chose a suitable pitch on arrival. A motorhome service point is also available.
Canterbury is about a 20/30 mins walk away depending on your level of fitness and has everything you need, alternatively the 43 bus stops just outside the site, Canterbury one way and Sandwich the other.
Overall we had a very nice stay and would recommend this site.

Another satisfactory stay at this well situated camp site. We stay here often as we have family on the Kent coast.
It's advantages are the relative quiet, small nature area, nearby bus stop into Canterbury( or historic Sandwich the other way) and the surrounding pretty Kent villages (Littlebourne, Fordwich, Ickham and Wickhambreaux are all recommended).
The hard standing pitches can be on a slope do you may need wedges. The showers are clean with lots of hooks, a pull down stool to sit on but starting to show their age.
There is quite a lot of coming and going, after all this is a site not far from Dover. The children's play area seems popular but well sited away from most pitches.
My only negative. Could the site assistants that run reception just be a bit more friendly and smile more? I felt that my request was resented a bit. But a very small negative.
