 Stayed here for one night as an overnight stop for the ferry. Nice site but beware of the railway line running across the back of the field, that said the trains stop and start running at a reasonable hour. Nice welcome at reception. Given the choice to drive and find a pitch.
Shop and cafe on site with takeaway serving simple food. They kindly made us an omelette and salad even though they were about to shut up for the evening.
Pitches were relatively private with hedges separating them and lots of nice landscaping. The only thing that lets this site down would be the shower block which was tired, not particularly clean and had dreadful water pressure (and only one temperature).
Great overnight stop though and except from the showers, I would stay there again.

Spent one night at this lovely site prior to getting the ferry to France.
Reception was great! the gentleman who booked us in was very helpful, just choose any vacant pitch.
We had a hardstanding complete with water (ours just happened to have the tap) and electricity.
Very well maintained, immaculate toilets and showers, shop on site selling newspapers milk etc. Though it had limited opening hours, but as we visited in April this might be different during busier periods.
The site also had a lot of static vans but these were away from the touring/campsite and hidden in trees, very quite when we were there, just birdsong and the occasional resident walking by.
A lovely site, we would recommend it for either an overnight stop or for a longer stay.

Stayed here for three nights 'out of season' having made arrangements with a very kind gentleman on the telephone. Was the only tourer there so difficult to know what it would be like in a busy season, but on my own fantastic. Saw all kinds of birds right outside, squirrels rabbits the lot. The railway is close but trains few and far between and after a while forgot about them.
Walks near the site are many and varied and the bus stop and railway station 5 minutes walk away. As long as you check the times great service. Easy journey into Folkestone, had a great day out there and then to Dover next day. Marton Mill is a lovely quiet peaceful place, the only drawback could be that there is absolutely no shops whatsoever in walking distance so if the shop hasnt got what you want you have to take your vehicle out (which I avoid doing at all costs) Showers could do with some work on the tiling, grouting etc. But maybe that is one of their winter jobs. Otherwise great facilities and definite revisit. (You can even get the train straight up to Charing Cross from here. )

This is the third time I've stayed at this site, spread over the last 25 years. It is and always has been a lovely site and because it is so well established, obviously a lot of thought has gone into it.
It is incredibly well sheltered from the weather, although our last visit being in low season, we did pretty much have the pick of where we pitched our tent.
As it was the weather was mainly kind to us, with only a very wet and windy last night to test the tent and our resolve to sleep through it. With plenty of trees and bushes around, although it was still very windy, it obviously wasn't as bad as it could have been.
The staff are very friendly, the bins were emptied and the shower block cleaned everyday, and the waste bins are all kept in their own little areas, and are liberally scattered around the site.
There is a gate entry system for keeping unwanted visitors to the site out during the night, and no limit on what time you arrive back from your trips out during the evening / night.
I do have one little niggle though, and it's one that seems to have been picked up by a number of sites these days as an extra money earner.
Freezer packs for those of us in tents are pretty much the only way to keep food fairly fresh. I've always believed that when paying anything more than £10 a night for a patch of grass, then certain things should be provided as standard.
These include hot water, toilet paper, etc, and, the ability to freeze your freezer packs. Thankfully some sites still do this, however Hawthorn Farm isn't one of them. In fact it is probably one of the highest charging sites I've ever been to for this 'service'. At 25p per pack / per freeze, it really doesn't offer value for money. I know it's a small amount to pay, but I was left with the feeling of being ripped off, and it really did detract from what otherwise would have been a near perfect campsite.
I would still recommend the site, however next time we go we shall get the electric hook up, and plug in a large coolbox for pretty much the same price.

Second time we have stayed at the site and once again was not disappointed.
Booked in and found that the Manager had not charged us for our two dogs and when asked was told to not worry about them.
The plot was great with plenty of room for two large tents and five kids.
Every where was clean and tidy and each camping area has a set of bins even emptied on a Sunday).
The shower rooms were kept to a high standard during our stay with no waiting or hot water issues.
Nice site and will book again.

What a great site this is, The shower and toilet blocks are clean and very well maintained.
There is a shop and a cafe on site. It is situated in the middle of Deal and Dover so easy access to a town or supermarket etc. The park is very well looked after. I would strongly recommend this site to other people.
The park is split into different, sections we stayed in a lovely section surrounded by trees for added privacy. There are water points in every section so not far to walk to refill.
I am booking this site again for next month.
The managers are also very friendly and helpful.

We have been visiting this site regularly since the 1980's and never been disappointed. There are a lot of statics on site, but barely noticeable as discreetly hidden behind hedgerows etc. An excellent shop and cafe is open long hours.
Perfect location for the ferries to and from France. There is a security barrier requiring a card for entrance after a certain time but late arrivals are catered for in a field close to the entrance which now has electricity.
Toilets/showers (2 blocks) are very clean with plenty of hot water, but perhaps starting to look a little tired, but don't be put off - they are fine.
The management do not bother you at all unless rules are being broken, but are always available if you need help. Very rural and pretty.
Mixture of hard standing and grass as well as large open field used mainly by tenters. Easy drive to Dover, Walmer, Deal and beyond but also served by a mainline rail link as well as a local bus, within short walking distance of the site.
Highly recommended

The second visit to this site within a few weeks as its only a short distance from my house!
A group of us go just to get away and relax, the kids go off playing, the dogs run about and we drink and eat! Its not been busy either times we have been and no one bothers us to leave on time.
You almost have a mini campsite to yourself as all the pitches are split into small areas were you can get about 10 tents/caravans, all surrounded by trees. Although the non electric field is just a large open space.
The site is well kept, and toilet blocks etc all very clean.
We will be going again soon!

Amazing Place! Toilet blocks are so clean and heated. Staff so helpful and friendly. Plenty of space whether you need electrical hook up or not.
The shop on site is ideal-the cafe does superb food! A real favourite that we will return to again and again.
Easily accessible from Dover or the environs. Great base for visiting Canterbury, Deal, Whitstable-the list goes on. The choice is never ending and you really feel like you are in the middle of nowhere.
Very peaceful-go visit and prepare to relax!

Arrived after 6pm so couldn't get on the main site - had to park on the 'late arrivals' spot which if you get there first allows you to hook up to an electric point through a hedge on to the main site.
Site is fine for an overnighter prior to a ferry. It is at the edge of the village, 10 min from the ferry. Train line runs on an embankment right next to the site and trains are frequent.
Toilet/wash block is good. Didn't use any other facilities. Early start - trust box for payment. I will use this site again!
