Power optional grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Toilets clean, fridge/ freezer available to use, books etc. Handy for the chunnel.
Disliked Whilst reading the thousands of handwritten rules around the place including one on keeping your dog under control at all times I was set upon by the owners four completely out of control dogs, two of which jumped her fence and were growling aggressively at my dog who thankfully didn’t react. Dog owners beware.

From the manager: I am sorry you felt this was an issue you couldn't come to us to discuss. I do have to correct a few of your points made as they are inaccurate.
Thousands of signs...is an over exaggeration, yes there are more than we would like, unfortunately this is down to disrespectful visitors at this site, who feel for example it is ok to poo in a sink or set fire to our field. The notice about dogs applies to dogs visiting the site specifically as ours are not included in this...and these rules are there for the comfort of all guests who visit us, with or without dogs.
I had just returned home and let me dogs out for exercise and toileting which coincided with you entering or exiting the gate, they were obviously excited and run around to see who was there. The newest and youngest of our dogs was the only one who leaped over to see your dog, he then was some distance from your dog and barked as a confused puppy would do, he hasn't a malicious bone in his body. He was mistreated when we rescued him and is slowly building his confidence. Yes my other dogs were barking but from the other side of the fence and not aggressively and not out of control. I came straight over and returned them all to the house.
I did explain to you that my dog that jumped over was not harmful at all Nd I asked if your dog was ok, you replied and said that ''your dog may be aggressive'' even if mine was not.
I can only be sorry that you didn't have the best experience because as you can see many reviews disagree with your experience.
I also picked up your dogs mess after you departed from your pitch.
You are welcome.
In my opinion, use for an easy drive to the ferry only.

Liked 1/2 hour to ferry,
Disliked Owners dog jumping over fence and messing around our caravan, The road leading to campsite was a single track road and not ideal for caravans as passing places were very small, needs to be noted when booking. £15 should be the max payment for such a site.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite
Liked For us this was the perfect location for a stop off before heading to Le Shuttle the following morning, but it is equally well suited to anyone fancying a few days away, or somewhere to holiday with children.
It’s a simple, no frills site, but with everything you need from a campsite.
Genuinely lovely owner greeted us on arrival, but equally there are ample instructions on the entrance gate, along with mobile numbers for contact if you were to arrive and find no one around.
The shower and toilet block is basic, but it’s clean and we had great showers.
We were especially appreciative of the dog walk straight off the site, with a paddock set aside for an off lead run…absolutely brilliant!! Also noted the woodland campfire place which is a lovely touch!
In short, we’d return in a heartbeat! Thanks for a lovely stay!
