What customers say
A historically interesting, quiet spot. Handy for the Tunnel/ferry, Battle of Britain Memorial & pub. Some found it basic & pricey for what's on offer, citing few toilets, bins, disposal points & debris. Access & manager contact issues noted.

Gorgeous views from the campsite, great to camp on a little bit of history

Liked It was close to the port of Dover
Disliked 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.

From the manager: 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.
Lovely, peaceful and restful.

Liked It was absolutely as describes. Lovely open field. Interesting gun station. Quite with great views. It was safe wild camping surrounded by wildlife.
Disliked A toilet facility would be useful but the site does say no facilities so no complaints
