What customers say
A friendly, clean, handy small site, great for Dover ferry/Eurotunnel stopovers. Facilities are good, if basic. Pub's handy but check opening times. A bit of road noise and sloped pitches for some. Good value for your onward trip.

Small campsite with the amenities you need for a comfortable stay.
Powered grass site
Liked A nice small campsite, with toilets, showers, and a washing-up area, all with ample cleaning supplies.
I missed the call to check my check-in time, but headed to the site once I had finished at Walmer Castle and was quickly greeted by Tracey, who showed me my pitch and asked if it would be ok.
I knew when booking back in April that the pub would be closed, so I was able to make plans to keep my own food in a coolbox / found places to have a main meal in Deal.
Not for anyone who likes / needs silence to sleep, due to proximity to bypass
Disliked Nothing - will be booking again I am sure

Lovely mini weekend away
Camping pod
Liked The pod was exceptionally clean with such a cosy welcoming vibe. We loved that we had the camping chairs to use outside as well as the benches. The hosts were so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be coming back again.
Disliked Nothing.

Liked Really cool little camping place. Super for our 5 year old on his first camp trip. Owners were lovely, polite and really interested in our feedback.
Toilets and showers, very clean, we noticed cleaned by owners more than once a day. Pride in their facilities. 👍
Massive shame they cannot open the pub.
Disliked Nothing we didn't like.

Excellent little site with clean facilities, friendly helpful staff.
Powered grass site
Liked The site was small but still space between pitches.
The two toilets and two showers were all good and very clean.
( It was never too busy or a problem with just two of each)
( The showers were unbelievably powerful ).
There's 10 pitches , and great for a weekend or overnight stay.
We had a T5 Camper on the bank holiday weekend, but lots of room for bigger campers or Car / Caravan.
It was a quiet little site too.
Great location to visit Deal, Margate, Ramsgate, Canterbury.
We were arriving late, so the owners kindly rang us and told us which number pitch to set up on and then came and checked everything was ok in the morning with us.
We mentioned about no lighting at the entrance and this was addressed within hours the same day.
The owners were friendly and helpful.
We would and will definitely be staying at this site again.
Disliked I've put this in here just for others to note.
The Pub was shut, and we were told that in advance, so it was not a problem to us as we were not staying here for the pub or because of the Pub.
( we would of used it if it had been open though ).

Dreadful and impolite customer service
Powered grass site
Liked Nothing on this occasion.
Disliked We booked a campervan pitch for a repeat visit to this particular pub because of its proximity to the port and so that we could park up and enjoy a meal and a few drinks in the pub. However, we arrived to find that the pub is closed for business!
The owner was nowhere to be seen and so i emailed to express disappointment that there had been no prior notification of the closure, and to ask for a refund because we had been misled and therefore decided to drive onto an alternative more suitable site.
The owner's response was bizarre to say the least - everyone's fault but his own i.e., the local community for not supporting him, Keir Starmer and his financial policies, budget holidaymakers (seems to be having a go at the camping fraternity with that one), and us for not providing a correct phone number (not true).
Anyway, he declined a refund and so all we can say is don't book here if a pre ferry meal/drink is your thing.
