 Just got back from a lovely weekend. This is the fifth time we have stayed here and never been disappointed. The site is very well kept and split into smaller sections so you don't feel too enclosed. Some of the pitches are separated by 6ft high shrubs which is nice and a bit more private.
The main toilet block is very well kept and 'heated' but there is another block further down the site which again is clean and heated.
Some of the pitches are close to a railway line which isn't a problem as the last train is around 23:00 and they don't really disturb you much and the kids will love them.
There is a small shop on site that does provide the essentials and there is also a cafe / takeaway the provide excellent food at reasonable prices.
Overall as you would expect as we have been there five times we would recommend this site not only for what we have said but that it's only about 10mins from Dover and Deal

A perfect place to visit Dover and the coast. We stayed there for 2 nights (Fri-Sun) just before the trip back with the ferry and there was no problem getting a pitch without having booked. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Access to the site via a narrow road, but there is no traffic at all.
There is a small shop and cafe at the reception which we didn't use.
The toilet block we used was very clean and spacious. The shower heads seemed to be scaled and the water wasn't always hot. The washing-up sinks are outside but under a roof (you won't get wet).
Electric hook-ups were located somewhere in the field, so you might need a long cable (30m). There were no bordered pitches on our field, you can just set up where it fits.
You can leave at any time, which is perfect for the early ferries.
We've been here for the second time and will chose this site again when using the Dover passage.

We visited this site along with a group of friends for a long weekend.
The pitches are split by small hedges, generally level and are a decent size. There is plenty of space for the little ones to run around.
The showers were warm at evening time but got cold at peak morning, if you have read older reviews you will know that since about May 2008 there have been complaints about the cold showers.
In August 2010 they were still cold, but the two blocks were clean and tidy including the washing up areas.
All washrooms areas had a small carpark area.
All in all a nice tidy site.

Well we booked this site for a car rally for about 10-12 cars/families for a long weekend. The owners / managers(?) bent over backwards to help and offered us everything.
The rally site turned out to be a shared overflow field down by the set of toilets. Mainly electrics thankfully so we should have been alright.
Sadly, the owners continually sent 'one nighters' heading for France down to us as they arrived. At 11.00 pm we were helping new arrivals to fit tents and caravans into the not overly large pitches. At 7.00 am we were helping them get back out!
The toilets were tired, but clean. If you have read older reviews you will know that since about May 2008 there have been complaints about the cold showers. In August 2010 they were still cold! The office was apologetic and they had a man on the case but it took 7 nights to get a warm morning shower. The newer block by the office was in fact little better.
Good points. Well to be fair there are some!
The site is reasonably quiet but the 10.30 curfew was not heeded by some and not policed
The smallish pitches are fenced off from each other by laurel bushes to give privacy. Access to the site is ok and reasonably sign posted.
11mb/s wifi is available and at £5.00 per 24 hrs is about the norm and it worked well.
Freeview TV reception was excellent.
Kids are very welcome but there is little but exploring in the woods for them to do. There is a park of sorts about 3/4 mile away left out of the camp gates and then left again, set in a footie field!
Rabbits roamed the site day and night. Quaint!
Staff are friendly even if they do seem to be saying what you want to hear as opposed to actually doing what you want!

Just come back from a weekend at Hawthorn Farm and all I can say that it was great.
Booking in was fast and friendly and the member of staff only charged us for a five person tent,(We have an eight person).
Our pitch (electric)was large and private and there was enough room to pitch up next to our friends.
Each pitch area had its own drinking water supply and rubbish bin area ( Bins emptied every day).
We have three children with bikes and were happy for them to ride and explore the site as people respected the 10mph limit.
The showers were warm at evening time but got cold at peak morning but the two blocks were clean and tidy including the washing up areas.
All washrooms areas had a small carpark area.
The shop was well stocked with all the normal stuff and although we did not eat, the Cafe looked clean.
Would go back again for a longer stay.

A lovely site, very friendly staff, very clean toilets and showers with radio to listen to!
We had a great time here, not many facilities for children, i.E, playgrounds etc, but lots of hidden woodland walks and plenty of room for games!
The tent field is a village of it's own!
We have been here several times and enjoy every visit! Great home cooked food in the shop/restaurant, Sunday dinner highly recommended!
All in all, a great site for general stops or short holiday's!

Huge site, but nicely laid out with hedges and pitches on different levels.
Good facilities, but toilet and shower areas could do with updating. Washing up area always nice and clean with plenty of sinks so even on a busy bank holiday, no waiting.
No play area for children, but lots of little pathways to explore and make friends. A play ground wasn't too far away.
Dog Friendly, with open walks nearby.
Shop that sells basics and small toys to keep the children happy!

Just spent a lovely weekend here. Really easy to find and well sign posted. We loved it and the glorious weather helped I expect
The staff were friendly, the pitches are nice and spacious, toilets and shower blocks were clean and private, even had hairdryers and a radio in there.
Shop had good supplies, never tried any food as we ate / cooked in our caravan. It wasn't full at all when we stayed but I should imagine bank holidays could be busy as it's such a great park.
There is a railway line but trains hardly run and they are not noticeable. Lots of rabbits around lovely to see them hopping about
In all a very well run clean site with everything you could need, going back as soon as we can.

It took us less than 25 minutes from leaving the ferry to be at this site for an overnight stop.
We got an efficient welcome and a quick check in-perfect after a long day. We were given a grass pitch near to the exit as we were only there for the night which was very convenient as it is a deceptively massive site. The pitches in the short stay area are not marked but there was plenty of room and we didn't feel that we were encroaching on anyone elses space. The hook up and water supplies were adequate for one night but may have been a bit less convenient for a long stay as we had to unravel nearly all our cable to reach the electric supply.
The shower block nearest to us was lovely and warm but very dated and had very poor limed up shower heads which gave a trickle of water. It was clean but needed updating.
The rest of the site has a country park feel to it with nice big open pitches- many on gravel with grassy borders and some more natural and grassy with shade. The bottom field was just for tents or those who don't need hook up.
A word of warning about the cafe/take away. The up side is its open for breakfast and stays open til 9pm. It has a shop as well which has a good selection of snacks and essentials BUT the food we ordered was virtually in-edible. The steak pie so hard and dry we could of hammered a tent peg in with it and the sausage casserole contained cold aneamic chipolatas swimming in a thin flavourless juice on a bed on glutinous lumpy mash- not a restaurant review I know but it might be worth stocking up before you arrive or checking out one of the nearby country pubs instead.
It would definitely be worth a longer visit here as it was a beautifully kept and is within easy reach of some very interesting towns and villages such as Rye and Canterbury. A superb stop to or from Dover.

This is a very good campsite!
We got there quite late on saturday night (due to being at work) and as it was a bank holiday weekend it was packed!
We only just managed to find a pitch for our tent, which was a bit annoying as we had booked two weeks in advance and it looked as if they had overbooked!
The rest of the site was very nice, it's quite remote, so no main roads nearby, although there was a railway line just behind us, it only goes hourly so didn't really bother us!
The toilets were ok, they seemed to run out of loo roll quite often in the ladies, but we took our own! The only downside here was the cold showers, it wasn't too bad as it was very hot weather, but I can imagine it being horrible when colder!
The cafe/shop was good, food was very nice and good prices as well, and they stocked all your essentials, as there is no shop that we know of in walking distance!
Overall a nice atmosphere, kids could play happily alongside each other and we enjoyed listening to the birds every morning; We are actually booking to go again in a couple of weeks!
