 I took advantage of a gap in the clouds and my own commitments to visit where I grew up, family members still living there, and a friend recovering from heart surgery: all within 30 minutes drive of the C&CC site. I'd never stayed here, and had fantasised about Folkestone by the sea (sadly closed this season) and was very pleasantly surprised
I could only stay one night which was fortunate, as 'grass with electric' had sold out had I wanted to stay more than one. The site was pretty full - with motorhomes and caravans and the most trailer tents I've seen in a while. I suspect they've been resurrected from semi-retirement by the retired couples. There was a sprinkling of tents and, where I was in 'Middleberg' (which is the lower grass only field) I wasn't alone under canvas although there were caravans and camper vans there too.
The site itself is on a gentle hillside and divided into named areas divided by spinneys and hedges, which combined to give a cosy and more intimate feel. I'm not a fan of big flat open sites. Some of the hard standing pitches looked quite close together although Club rules do require a decent spacing, social distancing notwithstanding. I had oodles of room around me and enjoyed the bunnies hopping around, bats and a surprisingly starry sky given the proximity to Canterbury.
There are some small slopes on the pitches so be aware of this if you have a caravan or motor home to level. I wonder if the bottom field could be a bit squidgy in wet weather as there is a tiny streamlet at the very bottom and, to the side, the site's little 'nature reserve' which is moist (and the dog walk).
There are two facility blocks and to comply with Covid-secure regulations, every other loo was closed, and the bottom showers closed for the season. The washing up space was open. The loos were impeccably clean, and the rota for deep cleaning clearly displayed and staggered between the two blocks, so sensible.
My arrival and site allocation were all carried out efficiently and without fuss. The site managers have worked hard to keep the grounds looking spick and span and cheerful with flowers. It was all very well cared for.
Depending on the wind and time of day you might hear the distant throughm of the A2 but it's not right by the site. Reaching the site is quite straightforward although the turning into Bekesbourne Lane might be a tight angle for larger units. The site felt pleasingly rural, despite the proximity to Canterbury which I hadn't anticipated.
I expect it gets very busy when continental travel no longer brings a risk of quarantine but, I would definitely stay there again as it's an attractive site in a good location for town, country and coast.

We enjoyed out stay here. The procedures for Covid prevention are very good - especially the cleaning regime for the bathrooms (deep cleaned several times a day).
The site is well organised and has a fantastic nature walk on site which our 14 week old puppy really enjoyed.
The site is conveniently close to Canterbury centre.
It could have done with another recycling / rubbish point as the only one was at the front gate which was quite a walk from our pitch.

Pleasant campsite a few minutes drive from historic Canterbury.
Playgrounds unavailable at time due to COVID but shower blocks and toilets were. These were of a good standard with very regular cleaning intervals. My only problem was that in 36 C temperatures I couldn't get a cold shower!
We arrived as a group and our pitch was placed away from our companions in an area with no shade - would have liked to been closer and nearer the shade in the weather we experienced.

The site is very well maintained.
There is a lovely dog walk and lots more walking on heathland just over the road.
A bus stop is only metres from the site and a frequent service runs into Canterbury or Sandwich and Deal.
Canterbury city centre is within walking distance.
Perfect stop over when going to or from Dover or Eurostar terminal.

Very good site
Booking in when arriving was friendly and fast and staff showed you to your pitch for the stay.
Most pitches are of good quality with ELH
There are two shower and toilet blocks, both extremely clean and tidy. Warm at all times, showers have lots of hot water and each cubicle has a seat and 4/5 coat hooks for clothes,
Sinks all have light above with shaver point, hand driers are also provided.
The servicing points are clean and well arranged
Found the site very quiet both during the day and night and the site is close to Canterbury city center, either a 20 minute walk or a short bus ride just outside the site.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
Would certainly visit again

Compact, Friendly site on outskirts of Canterbury near a bus route.
Helpful staff, clean toilet/shower facilities, lots of hooks on the shower door so nothing on the floor getting wet.
Rather busy for November.

Having been here many times before I wasn't disappointed,
Immaculate grounds and facilities, friendly staff and a lovely pitch on the lower field.
Near to the city with a bus stop just outside. Great for relaxing or for visiting the beautiful city.
Would really recommend.

Lovely attractive site. Wardens very friendly.
A busy site but not noisy. Facilities are very good
In a good location for Canterbury and bus service if you don’t want to walk.

Excellent site well looked after, facilities very good, large site that doesn't feel to big as partitioned of into areas,
plenty of room on pitches, though the hardstanding we were on was very very difficult to get rock pegs into ground, and I have stopped on plenty of hardstanding this was the first time I struggled and I also use a lump hammer,
Lots of folks use site for a couple of nights as very near to ferry and tunnel ports, but first time we had stopped in area any length of time and lots to do, in fact need to go back to see more.

Excellent facilities. Good location with easy bus ride into Canterbury. Clean, tidy and spacious.
Easy to reach ports and could leave motorhome in car park until our crossing to France.
Really welcoming and helpful hosts.

We stayed here for our half term break. It's in extremely well looked after grounds with plenty of clean facilities.
All staff were very friendly, putting on a ghost walk through the woods, giving advice on where to visit etc.
We've never visited Kent before, always passing through to get to the continent, but found the location to be very central for the area. We visited several coastal towns, Dover castle is a must see, and Canterbury is a great city, with plenty of shops and pubs and eating places.
The one downside - there's plenty of comings and goings on the site with campers staying for one or two nights, I suspect going to or from the channel crossing, but they tell you this in their blurb.
We would love to visit again!
