    If you're going to France vis the Euro Tunnel the site used by most people is called Black Horse Farm site near Folkstone. It would be just as suitably located if you where to travel vis Ferry from Dover to Calais. I prefer the ferry trip which lasts for
    an hour and a half as you get more of a sense of arrival in France and if the weather is nice good views in either direction of Travel. By train through the tunnel it's about 30 mins but boring and no real facilities to speak of on the train, even rest rooms
    as you call them are limited. Anyway have a safe and enjoyable trip.

    Hi Phil, I think you may be on the wrong website for the info you require. Try U.K.Campsite for more info and reviews. Hope this helps, Enjoy your trip and have a good time.

    p.s. We stayed at a campsite on the Atlantic coast last year called La Rive and it would be all you want but i dont think the rail-line is convinient.
