Hi all
Looking for a cheap and cheerful site within 1/2 hour of the Dover ferry ports

Staying 1 night before boarding ferry, so all we want is a hookup. We dont need pools clubhouses etc and all the other stuff that you pay £30+ a night for.

Thanks all

If you have a motorhome and can do without the power hookup, Canterbury park and ride is geared up for channel crossers and is as cheap as you can get:

We parked overnight at a service station (http://www.stop24.co.uk/) the night before an early Dover ferry a couple of years ago. I don't think there were hook ups though. There was a sign up saying overnight parking/camping was £20 but we were only stopping for a maximum of 6 hours, so we spoke to the warden going round and he pointed us in the direction of a bus stop/layby on site to park in where we could avoid the charge. A bit naughty of him really but he agreed that £20 was a rip off for a few hours. The actual service station was shut (despite its name!) but the petrol station was open with toilets.

Camping and Caravan Club site at Capel le Ferne near Folkestone looks nice, not been yet but the site is at the edge of the cliffs next to the channel.
