This was the state in May this year when last I checked and stayed.

There are quite a few lay byes on the road to Dover and we've used them several times. However, we usually use the P & R at Canterbury and then go to the tunnel but Dover in reasonable distance and only £3.00 with ride into Canterbury included.

You can still park at the western end near the clock tower but less space owing to the works going on. The restricted area is by the gateway flats which has parking restriction, although many foreign vans chance their arms parking there.
One day the intention was fora meh parking area in the empty car park on the Wellesley road going onto the seafront. You cannot enter from the swing ridge now because of the new works.

Longfield Farm campsite is only £10 a night, just outside Dover - nice and quiet tucked away down a country lane, no toilet block but that's not a problem. Decent fish & chip shop on the road to it, you go past a Tesco on the way to the ferry if you need to stock up, and it's only a few minutes drive from the port. For £10 it's so convenient I wouldn't bother parking by the side of the road, a guaranteed good night's sleep is well worth that!

They ( uk/ eu ) are paying for the improvements which look great also they are keeping part of the Dover harbour station which is also great ( history) and they are keeping one /two of the pylons from the cross channel hovercraft which is also great . And it is also GREAT the eu are paying a large sum , maybe the last parting gift to the United Kingdom ! Happy days

Addendum

It is £3 from 0000-2400

So for staying the night you have to pay 2 X £3

However the facilities have improved with a new dedicated Fresh Water tap, new large waste bin and an Official oveflow MH parking area for when normal is full - thanks to Colin Perris(I/C P+R)

Ah right. Didn't realise but no entry after about 8.00 pm so you couldn't do 00.01 to 24.00 anyway

What you mean is that the UK is paying for all of the improvements, the EU is only giving back part of what the UK originally paid them in the first instance

Yes, Mike you should be fine. There were plenty of MHs parked along the front today when we were there.

You can't enter a site after 8.30pm, but you can exit at any time with a valid ticket. The maximum stay for any vehicle is 48 hours. (From the website)

Thank you very much @scousebird . I think we will do that. We will leave the railway do on Monday morning. And go there and have a look round Canterbury.
