Hi all

We're off to France at the end of May and, as we're travelling down from Newcastle, we need an overnight stay somewhere handy for Dover.

Can anyone recommend anything?. Need to have loos and showers as we're in a tent!

 

Cheers!!

It is very convenient, but at the end of May they charge quite a lot: £18.10 for 1 night for 2 people.
If you do a search on this website for KENT, you get this page, where you can then click on any site and get further details.

I'm going to be cheeky and tag onto the end of your posting 2cats. Can anyone recommend a site about 80 miles from Dover going in a nw direction.

We're coming back from France on 23/8/08 and need an overnight stop on the way back home (which is in the north-west). Somewhere handy, just off the M25 ideally. I did see one in the CC book but was put off by the fact that it was located at the end of the Gatwick airport runway; I need my sleep a bit more than that !!!

Thanks to anyone who can help

We stayed at Little Satmar, found it on the campsite search.  Nice clean site close to Dover and Chunnell.

think it cost £23 for the one night for 5 of us so not to bad we had a tent also.

We are going to France the end of May but in a motorhome.

Enjoy yourself

The Black Horse Caravan Club site is ideal for Dover, but would I be wrong in assuming that they do not accept tents.

They do accept tents. Although saying that, so does the Chester CC site, but when we rang to enquire about that for some friends a couple of weeks ago, the answer was that, yes, they accept tents, but not at the moment, as the ground is too wet. Said they would accept tents from June onwards.
So perhaps wise to check with them, if considering going there in a tent.

Hi Carole ..... I saw somewhere you was asking about overnight at Dover ...... are you looking for street parking, and would you consider something within say 30 mins from Dover

I would agree with Hawthorne Park. It is a great site and we go there quite alot with my sister in her caravan.

Very convenient for the ferries.

Hi.
The C&C Club site, in the warren at Folkestone, just a short trip up the A20 into the docks at Dover.
