12 Swiss Way, CT19 6PJ, Folkestone
Been here?
This quiet campsite sits beneath white cliffs, with views across the Channel to France and a short walk from the pitches to the facilities. A recent one-night van stay for three people cost £50. The sanitary facilities are old and have been described as moldy, while the best coastal views are from the café terrace. It is 10 mins from the Eurotunnel, but the beach and Folkestone require a long walk.

One night van parking with three persons £50 —the most expensive campsite of our trip to UK. In the middle of nowhere, uncomfortable and long footpath to the beach and Folkestone. Nice coast view only from the café terrace, old moldy sanitary facilities. Nice campsite with an outrageous price.
We tried to reach someone all day. Unsuccessfully. They could simply have said on the phone that the site was fully booked. The owner was also rather arrogant on the phone! Very disappointing!Translating
Very friendly welcome, beautiful view, super quiet and comfortable stay. I didn’t use the facilities other than toilets which were absolutely fine, a short walk from the pitches. Ideal for a quick stopover before an early start at the Eurotunnel 10 mins away.
The location is as described and very beautiful. The employee is very friendly and helpful. However, the price of £35 for two people and one dog is excessive, since the sanitary facilities need renovation and should be heated. There are nicer campsites in England with modern facilities that are cheaper.Translating
What a great site. Quiet and uncomplicated. The sanitary facilities are already borderline. Nevertheless, we will come again.Translating
Very nice campsite, well located for the shuttle. Lovely walks nearby, and the campsite restaurant's breakfast is excellent, with a magnificent view as well. Yes, the sanitary facilities are outdated, but they were not dirty, and Tony's welcome, even though we had not booked, together with the staff's kindness, fully deserves 4 stars! We will return without hesitation. £32 for one night, two adults and one child.Translating
Unfortunately, this campsite was a disappointment. The sanitary facilities were in poor condition. There were no toilet brushes in any of the stalls, and the toilets looked accordingly. Showers and sinks weren’t much better. The pitches were overgrown and looked neglected. Despite advertising a view of the coast, there was nothing to see. At €40 per night, we expected a much higher standard.
On our journey through England, this was our first stop. Anyone wishing to visit the town on foot or by bicycle should be prepared for steeper roads and paths. There is also a bus. The campsite staff were very friendly and helpful. The sanitary facilities are adequate and serve their purpose. The food in the café was delicious. And not to forget the breathtaking view!Translating
Sanitary facilities reasonably clean but very old and run-down (fallen tiles, broken dryer) and a long walk away. £35 is not reasonable. Pitches are sloping and fairly large. Bar closed. The location earns 3 points—amazing views from the café and wonderful hiking trails.Translating
Great location, friendly reception. Everything very clean but old.Translating
Great location for the ferry! Beautiful, well-maintained site. Reservation by phone! Price typical for Great Britain (£70 including 2 people for 2 days), and with the view, though only from the café, completely okay. Sanitary facilities old but clean! Folkestone is easily reachable on foot and we enjoyed the harbor. Many nice places to eat and drink! No drive-over gray-water disposal.Translating
Excellent location, sanitary facilities old but clean, very friendly staff, booking unfortunately only possible by phone. The walk to the harbor takes 30 minutes and is quite steep. A taxi back costs £7.Translating
You are clearly paying for the location near the beach and the ferry to Dover. The site is very average but very expensive. Since it was full, we stayed in an adjoining meadow in front of the campsite. The toilets there are atrocious. The beach section and access are filthy and simply unattractive. We had to pay £35 for a van with two people. Rip-off!Translating
Everything is great! Beautiful site, beautiful views, peace and quiet! Lots of hiking opportunities, and the town is easy to reach. We were also lucky because the site was not yet very full.Translating
Beautiful, peaceful campsite with everything you need. Great view from the café terrace.Translating
This site is more than just a first or last overnight stop. The beach is easily reachable on foot, about 15 minutes away. I have my own sanitary facilities on board, so I did not use them. The café offers a beautiful view of the coast. And if you want to use the sanitary facilities, there are only a few steps, not a mountain hike. A clear recommendation from me—I would happily return.Translating
Handy overnight stop for the Eurotunnel. Very basic toilet facilities. The men's toilets are up a long flight of steep, narrow steps. Privacy in the ladies' showers is inadequate. It is unclear where to go on arrival. However, there are superb views from the cliff-top terrace.Translating
Good location, clean sanitary facilities. No Wi-Fi and generally poor reception. But perfectly fine before or after the ferry.Translating
We wanted to stay there for one night, but were asked to pay £30. The site manager said it was £15 per person. He said the advertised £10 rate had never existed.Translating
