 Ok, so we have a static there, but being tent campers as well I feel I can give an informative review. We would more often than not avoid family sites, and stick to adult only sites. This site is for families, which is what we needed for our kids and grand kids to use as well as us. One of things I like here is there is no playground on site where some adults let their kids run amok and annoy other guests. There is however 5 or so minutes walk away a really well equipped playground, probably one of the best I have seen that's free to use with plenty of green area for ball games. We take our grandkids there a lot and they love the long slide. So no annoying other campers on site but still being able to let their hair down. The site is a good size and good to just stroll around. A variety of large pitches from hardstanding, enclosed grass pitches, to plain open field, the choice is excellent with EHU. Shower blocks are modern clean, warm and overall all you need. Plenty of undercover wash up sinks. Laundry area. We have the 3 network on our mobile phones and tether our laptops from them and they work fine where we are located on the park. The site does have Wi Fi but I don't think its great all over the site. The cafe, with its small shop is great and the ladies in there will go out of their way to feed you. Reception and entry barrier, so no tom dick or harry being able to just drive in. The staff are helpful and know their stuff, not in your face but good to know they are there if you need help. There is the village train station just up the road, which is handy if you fancy getting out without the car or want to go out for a drink with your meal. The small amount of train noise you RARELY hear is nothing to the advantage of having a local train station. We have spent nearly every weekend here since February and even at bank holidays have never felt the place was overcrowded. All in all a great place to stay and plenty of places to visit for days out.

We stayed here for 2 nights last weekend. It is quite local to us within 30 miles, we were looking for somewhere quite close and quiet.
We arrived after reception had closed, but had phoned ahead so could get the gate code rather than stopping in the late arrivals area.
The facilities were good. Shower block was open all the time not closed for cleaning. It wasn't a problem that they were cleaning when I went for a shower.
There is a mix of statics and tourers. The tourers were a mix of overnighters (to and from the ferry) and those there for a little longer. We initially went to the furthest field for peace but moved as we were sinking in the soft ground! We ended up in the first camping area which was mainly used by overnighters. It was empty by the time we woke up but we only heard one van leave.
We didn't use the cafe but will next time we go back. It does back on to the train, but trains come and go its not a bother.
No play area on site but there is one about 10 minutes walk away across fields. It was a good play area for kids of all ages.
There are supermarkets in Dover and Deal and I think you could buy basics on site. There is a pub, but we didn't have time to go. We had to leave something to do for when we next visited!

Perfect for a stop on the way to the ferry, or on returning.
We were allowed enough space to stay hooked up.
The small cafe stayed open if there were customers there, after 6.
There wasn't a lot to fault it. Local pub was closed when we were there but had a pleasant walk around the local countryside.
We would definitely stay again and would recommend it.
Good value, at least for a UK site.

We used this site for one night prior to a very early ferry booking the next morning. It was ideal. Less than 4 miles from ferry port means that you are there in less than 10 minutes.
Welcome was friendly and informative. We stayed in the 'Paddock' next to the late arrivals field as it was closest to the entrance, useful for our quick getaway the next morning. Pitches are a good size.
Mixed clientele as there are static caravans on the site too.
Facilities excellent and very clean with plenty of toilets, showers, washing up etc.
There is a cafe on site that also serves as a shop providing basics.
Very peaceful setting in the countryside although there is a rail line that runs at the back of the site and we pitched right next to it. I can honestly say I never noticed one train go through.
Lovely old pub nearby called The Leather Bottle, within walking distance that serves huge portions of tasty food at a reasonable price.
Looks as though there is good cycling and walking around the camp site and if we return we will probably stay for a little longer as it did seem like a lovely, relaxing, peaceful site.
If you need to overnight near Dover either on your way or returning from Europe then I can thoroughly recommend this site. Late arrivals are catered for by a field next to the cafe. This was empty when we retired to bed at 10 pm but when we arose at 4 am it was full! We didn't hear any of them arrive and we were right next to them.

I have just returned from a weekend with friends and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. When we arrived the very kind ladies in the cafe stayed late to cook us a meal, over and above as they were only 5 mins from closing and stayed to cook an extra 8 meals. Many thanks again. The weather was a bit hit and miss but we had a great time. Everyone is so friendly and the site is very clean and tidy. The shower blocks had been re-vamped since our last visit and everything was new and spotless. There is even a free hairdryer and the water was hot! This was our 3rd visit to this site and we will return again.

Used this site for a one night stop before catching the ferry. We contacted the site before arrival as we were going to arrive late. The staff were very helpful and gave us the code for the gate over the phone and told us to pitch wherever we were happy to do so. As it was dark on arrival, to pitch where we liked was great, as we could pitch our tent near a light. The site was clean and well maintained. The ablution blocks were clean and warm. We had breakfast at the site cafe which was excellent value for money before boarding the ferry. Our stay was very short, but would definitely use again.

Just returned from a one night stay here prior to catching the Ferry to Europe in our VW Campervan and what a perfect start to our trip! The owners are really friendly and there is a nice laid back atmosphere here. The pitches are an excellent size and there is no check out time as such, as people are coming and going at all hours due to ferry times, which helped take the stress out for us. Despite the busy nature of the site, there was very little disturbance to us and we got a good night's sleep ! There is a lovely little shop and café on site, and toilets are clean and well maintained. One of our party didn't arrive until late at night, but we were able to let them in using our code on the barrier, and they paid the next morning. It's nice to see such common sense can still prevail at campsites in this country, as some can be so wrapped up in rules and regulations, they forget to see the stressed out people behind it all! The site is literally a 15 minute drive from the port at Dover, so was perfect in that respect too! All in all, we would definitely stay here again and would recommend this site to anyone!

It's always a pleasure going to this campsite, and this year was no exception. Whilst we were only there a few days, we really enjoyed it and will be going back again later this year. The welcome was good, and it was nice to be there whilst kids are still at school. Nice and quiet for the most part.
On the positive side, the campsite is well sheltered, especially from the wind which was handy because it was quite windy, and where we stayed, there were hedges separating the pitches. Also not many bugs around, but lots of rabbits to look at. The toilet blocks (or at least the one we used) was clean and tidy, and the radio is a nice touch.
On the negative side, the rabbits have left their markings all over the place, and the peace was shattered one morning by a chap cutting already short grass with a very large and noisy mower. He also uses a huge tractor to collect the waste from the ample rubbish bins on site. Aside from that one gripe, I do have a couple of niggly suggestions. They really ought to get the shower curtains and toilet seats replaced as both are past their best and showing their age a little.

Visited here as a stop-over for the Ferry next day. As others have said the site is clean, well kept and with friendly wardens, and loads of statics. We had to pay at the time of booking as it was just one night. The toilet and shower blocks were clean. Bit of a surprise to see the train going by so close to the touring field but this did not disturb us. The access to the site was a bit tricky through the little village, however on the way out there is a bit of a hill before you come to the main road. You then have to turn right for Dover across the traffic, this is quite frightening as there is limited visibility and cars travel at well over the 50mph limit-this might put us off coming here again. But a lovely site nevertheless.
