What customers say
Great spot near Eurotunnel & motorway. Friendly staff, clean facilities, good pitches. Coffee shop's a winner! Some road noise, dated bits. Good vibes, keen to return. Refurbs happening.

Liked The host was very friendly and felt welcomed. The toilets and shower was very clean. Bonus it had a hair dryer. You do have to use 20p, but lasts a long time, which is great.
It is such a peaceful place, close to Brands Hatch too which was great. Had a beautiful weekend. Thank you.

Liked The park was really easy to find and on arrival I found my pitch straight away. The hardstanding ground was level and a good size. The facilities were really clean and you had everything on site that you needed. Every where was clean and tidy and everyone was really friendly. It was nice and quiet at night time allowing for a good night sleep.
Disliked There was nothing to dislike.

Great site for an overnight stay near the euro tunnel
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked We stayed here for 1 night on our way home from France. The sites proximity to the euro tunnel & a few minutes drive off the M20 made it a great option for our overnight stay. The sites proximity is well laid out and the pitches are flat and well maintained as are the facilities. Our host was very friendly and helpful. The on site 3 sisters coffee shop is a great asset to the site, opening at 8am we had a great coffee & delicious pastry before our departure for our ongoing journey.
Disliked The pitches are all very open, no privacy, fine for an over night stay but we prefer pitches with hedges between them for longer stays.
