Great place to stay for a night, car park is flat and the view is beautiful. A very interesting town to visit, something out of a film, The noise that comes on at intervals didn’t bother us, it’s a bit like an aircon hum. The residents are so welcoming one actually came over and gave us a goody bag of food. Definitely recommend.

Nice place, if you stand in the front row there is a great sunrise in the morning. Instruction as noted. Was there last Saturday, some other campers on site, police in the evening as well, but everything was very relaxed.

Arrived after 6pm. One other campervan here. Free parking from 6pm to 8am. Used the Ringgo app to pre book 2 hours for the following morning. Toilet block close by, attached to it is a building with a large fan in it which runs every 20 mins or so for about a minute. Could be an issue with some people but we found it not a problem. Pebble beach, sea is a very long way out.Felt safe and slept well

Really quiet, right on the beachfront. It has toilets and bins. Really good spot and we paid for a few hours in the day, but barely anyone there.

A small car park, with car-size spaces, but I doubt if a bit of an overhang would matter, certainly not in the quieter months. Charges 8am to 6pm. Shop nearby. Toilets clean but locked at night. Friendly locals. Paid for a few hours either side of the night, a thank-you. Try to find the sound mirrors, about 30 minutes return walk away.

Nice spot. Free overnight and no signs. Parking fee from 8am but free on Dungerness estate.

Nice and peaceful sleep. Friendly locals. Stayed overnight and paid for an hour parking in the morning so we could have a walk down the pebble beach. Access to toilets in the morning, not the nicest but does the job. Definitely would come again

Just the job; on a week night in January we were here alone and had a very peaceful night. We paid for a few hours during the day- with hindsight we would have been better driving down to the little carpark pull ins beyond Prospect Cottage before you reach the Britania Inn - no overnighting there but ok during the day ( 6 m van) off season and then can come back here to sleep.

Stayed last night. Quiet this time of year. Expect during season would be much busier/ noisier. Public toilets and a corner shop nearby as is a Fish and Chips shop. Next to beach yet stormy weather so did not venture out much. Dungeness National Reserve and particularly the Dungeness RSPB Centre worth visiting, about 10 minutes away. Natural and wild landscape, ideal for bird spotting and walks.

Stayed 24 Oct, 6 m van. charges from 8am -6pm Toilets inc disabled, all locked from around 4pm until 7am bin nearby. road pretty busy from 6am -11pm, few cars through the night. You will hear road noise. we phone, internet and tv all good. McColls corner shop 1 min walk, fish and chip shop 2 min walk (not open every day) nice views, right on the beach. would use again.

Stayed here last night and is a great park up. 3 other camper vans there as well and was the best night sleep have had in my car for a long time. Super quiet location, road wasn’t busy at all and car park was quiet other than us 4 parked up. Shop round the corner and i think a chippy is super close too. Highly recommend. Is literally on the beach front :)

Great little find. not very big and toilet were closed when we arrived at 6pm and open by 8am. I few kids in cars arrived but only to eat their chips then moved on. dog walkers and kite surfers arrived in the morning but not too early. All on all great for a one night pit stop.

We had a lovely stay over here last night. lovely clean, quiet spot. Great chippy and walk to the lakes to see the listening ears.

Spent one night here free from 6pm - 8 am, 4 other motorhomes parked up with us, fantastic views of the sea/ coast to wake up to. Road quiet after 10pm, no Barrier was nice to see, and a toilet block not anything special does its job! would definitely use again.

Great carpark - really quiet and next to a beach. Free overnight parking after 6pm. Lots of spaces with no height restrictions or limits. Local fish and chip shop down the road which was great for tea!

karenlear

Toilets right on beach where you park. Bit windy as all open. Beach in front of us nice and sandy. Fish and chips and a mini mart just over the road as well. Pub just up the road. Parking charges are £1.20ph or £8 all day with free parking from 6pm until 8am. Nice quiet place few vans. Every now and then a few cars go by. Nice after visiting prospect cottage and the lighthouses. Lovely walks. Well worth visiting.*****

I agree with all the other reviews, this is a great spot. had a peaceful night, parked so we could watch the sunrise from our bed!

Great place to stop for night. Road a bit noisy with morning traffic but otherwise quiet. Loos are closed at night. A popular spot and recommended.

Best stay ever. Literally on the beach, quiet as anything, had the car park to ourselves, toilets open every time I needed them. Beach is quiet enough as well to have a little fire/bbq without causing any problems. Highly recommend

Sep 3rd 2020. Site has a water pumping station as part of the loos. So big fan going 24/7 but it just sounds like a windy day. Only us in a 9m and 4 dogs. Toilets ok. Facing east so amazing sunrise. Mini market 2 mins walk away. Quite and safe. Would use again. No height restrictions.

Great views, only three campers overnight including us. Free overnight parking from 6pm to 8am. Toilets available. Right on the beach, facing directly at the sea.

The parking is free at night (6pm - 8am). Toilets aren’t so nice but the view is great.

Beautiful spot right on pebble seafront. Free from 6pm-8am, then daytime tariff applies. £8 for the day. Toilets open all evening. Police monitor which is good. Turn right out of car park and you can walk to dog friendly The Jolly Fisherman pub in half hour for lunch / drink. The beach at this end is sandy.

Direkt neben der Straße mit Abzweigung ins Wohngebiet. Steinstrandzugang topp, Aussicht auch gut. Nachts aber hell und am Toilettenhaus hat irgendein Gebläse extrem viel Lärm gemacht. Für eine Nacht ok. Glaube von 6pm bis 8am war kostenfrei.

Wir haben hier eine Nacht gestanden. Es war ruhig. Die Toiletten waren sauber. Früh, gegen 8:00 Uhr kam Jemand zum Reinigen. Der Platz ist zu empfehlen, zumindest in dieser Jahreszeit.

Laut und schmutzig. Direkt an der Straße in unmittelbarer Entfernung fährt ein Zug. Die Toiletten sind nicht die saubersten. Der Blick ist nicht zu verachten.

An sich ein sehr schöner Platz zum nächtigen... Nur trifft sich wohl die Jugend hier Abends/Nachts und feiert. Drei mal die Nacht standen lautstarke Autos mit brüllenden Motoren und voll aufgedrehter Musikanlage neben uns. Die zwei Sterne gibt es leider nur für den wunderschönen Sonnenaufgang.

Good spot for free overnight. Convenient for channel crossings. Excellent chip shop (The Varne) just behind in nearby in Taylor Road. Continue up Taylor Road to visit the "sound mirrors" or "listening ears ".

This is the only overnight stop on Dungerness. And it’s a great stop, very quiet and great view.

Très jolie vue sur la mer, calme. Gratuit de 18h à 8h du matin. Top avant de repartir en France (35 mn de Channel Tunnel). Toilettes propres disponibles. On n'espérait pas aussi bien pour une dernière nuit.

Jahmat

Très bien pour la nuit, à deux pas de la plage (galets). Toilettes propres et ouverts de nuit. Route peu fréquentée la nuit. Payant la journée : 1,20 pounds de l'heure et 8 au-delà de 6h. Gratuit de 18h à 8h. À recommander.

This was an amazing spot. CHANGE IN INFO: From the 1st of July 2018 you have to pay to park there - something like £8. I forgot to take a picture but there’s a sign, and below it a notice explaining the change in price. Still very much worth it: it’s has toilets that are relatively clean, and I’m sure you can swim at the beach there. Sunsets are amazing, and the pebble beach has gorgeous protected plants. It’s a nature reserve. 30 mins to Folkestone ferry and we met a few other campervans there. We stayed two nights and bused into Folkestone to have a look around (public transport is great!)

Very quiet spot for the night, about 30 mins drive to the channel tunnel. Free and toilets on site. Right by the beach!

bsav

Quiet, safe and strangely picturesque. We stayed here on our first ever night free camping. There were no hassles and only 5 other campers scattered throughout the car park. The toilets were unlocked up until we went to sleep at 10:30pm but were locked at 5:30am when we woke to go to the Dover ferry. Overall, great stay, would stay again. Recommend a drive up through Dungeness too.

Free parking, quiet toilets in car park ? residential road but little traffic

eribacar

Parking recommandé par la garde de la réserve. Gratuit maximum 24h. Idéal pour nuitée avant de prendre le Ferry. Assez calme la nuit mais route à 60 m/h ça fait un peu de bruit le matin. Sinon très bien.
