Capel Battery

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

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

Likte ikke: Könnte aufgeräumter sein.

Likte: 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.

Likte ikke: 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.

Likte: Very quiet small site . Exactly as it said. Good for walks.

Likte ikke: Nothing . Had a great stay

Likte: Nothing- Left Immediately. Did not Stay.

Likte ikke: This place is a building site , cannot be described as a campsite. There was rubbish and run down vehicles everywhere. The only place to park was on a strip of tarmac where lorries were coming and going digging up the ground. Piles of earth all around. This site urgently needs to be inspected. It is an insult to charge £25. Is it possible for us to request we are refunded?

Fra bestyreren: Sorry you were disappointed. This WW2 gun battery site which we are currently restoring as describe. There is on going restoration works thence lorry’s arriving.
We do not promote as standard stay but to experience and explore this historic to WW2 gun battery.

Likte: easy location, very large space, low grass, everything perfect as described

Likte ikke: to be perfect all that's missing is a toilet

Likte: Good spot to choose when waiting for a ferry crossing (or channel tunnel). Basic facilities, as was said, but quiet and level site.

Likte: Nothing! Unable to access the site as the instruction was to telephone Mr Button on arrival for access code. Despite many attempts Mr Button did not answer his phone. We ended up having a sleepless night in a car park as we were unable to find alternative pitch.

Likte ikke: Given access code 24 hours after booking ended. No apology from Mr Button. A refund was only given after we contacted pitch up to complain. So disappointing as we were looking forward to exploring the WW2 gun battery site.

Likte: Really close to the Eurotunnel.

Likte ikke: The entrance is tricky and the gate closed on our motorhome. Very few facilities- rent value for money.

Likte: Good comms and instruction from owners, crucial as the site us unmanned.

This is a basic carpark and for that was a bit on the pricey side to be honest.

Electric hook for 5/6 motorhomes, but no other facilities at all. Parking is at far end and single file, which means the last to join will need a long hook up lead, as the electrics point is one station.

Valiant Sailor pub about 500yrds walk, serves cold beer didn't see any food offers, but has a clean toilet and friendly staff.

The convenience to the ferry port is good took 25mins door to door. This was 1st Sept on a Sunday morning, could be a lot different high season and midweek.

Access was OK, we did slightly block the main road for a couple of minutes as we got the gate open. Leaving was easier.
