Capel Battery

Positiv It was close to the port of Dover

Negativ Where to start. This is not a campsite - it is a scruffy field. Campsites have facilities for campers - apart from electricity and water, this site doesn’t. Which, all in all, is okay if I was charged £15 but it cost me £40.

Vom Platzbetreiber: The guest contacted me by phone after arriving at the site. I explained that this is a World War II heritage site currently under restoration, and that it is not a traditional campsite but intended specifically for motorhomes only. I offered a full refund, which the guest declined. I reiterated the nature of the site and again offered a refund, which was once more declined. The guest chose to stay.

Positiv It was absolutely as describes. Lovely open field. Interesting gun station. Quite with great views. It was safe wild camping surrounded by wildlife.

Negativ A toilet facility would be useful but the site does say no facilities so no complaints

Positiv The solitude & good access to both the garden of the Battle of Britain Memorial & the North Down Path.

Negativ Take great care entering or leaving the site with a motorhome or caravan. The gate closes very quickly & its easy to get caught out. The lack of a chemical disposal point, in this day & age, is regrettable. The electric hook up is some distance from several of the grass pitches, We would recommend taking an extra long cable. The site could do with a basic tidy up to make it more presentable.
Vastly over priced, if booked through a third part, suggest booking direct with the site.

Positiv Very basic, fresh water tap only, unmanned site but secure. 10 minutes from port of Dover. Ideal for early ferry crossing

Positiv Für eine Nacht nach oder zur Fähre ok. Aussicht auf Dover oder Folkstone fenomenal.

Negativ Könnte aufgeräumter sein.

Positiv Curious place - great for a one night motorhome stay prior to using the ferry / tunnel but wouldn’t want to be there any longer due to lack of facilities - from this perspective it’s way way over priced.
To be fair it was very peaceful so had a good nights sleep.

Negativ The security gate is tricky to navigate with a larger motorhome.
Couldn’t find any chemical loo disposal point and no bins for rubbish (although this was advised).
Imagine it’s pretty ghastly and bleak in bad weather.
