Disappointed
Daleacres Club Campsite
Disappointed that standards are not as good as they used to be! The two washing machines haven't been working since the site opened, the games room has been closed for a long time but is still listed under site facilities. Vegetation etc is over grown, the bins have been removed apart from some large wheelie bins near the office. It appears that current management are only interested in profits and not members.
In addition on sites people are leaving later than mid day causing issues on narrow entrance roads, many dogs on long leads or not tied up at all, and people not obeying the speed limit.
Over recent years things have certainly gone downhill, when I first started with caravan club almost 30 years ago people obeyed the rules the sites were pristine and facilities were kept to a good standard, how times change, very sad.
I am in no way criticising the wardens, they are just doing what they are told and are very helpful.
I haven't found the live chat helpful it is obviously AI and doesn't understand!!
Lovely for us new to caravanning
Daleacres Club Campsite
Easy to find and good location for us oaps exploring in the car. we had motorhomes for years but sold up when so many sites were unnavailable during lockdown, then we “inherited” our precious young dog so we need an easy way to take him exploring with us & decided to try a touring caravan & Daleacres was recommended by friends for our first go at it. Lovely staff & friendly campers, the site was spacious and clean with a safe field for dogs to run & play. Luckily We only stayed one night (a few things to sort on our unit) as the the washing machines are out of order & I tried many times but could not get wi-fi.
It was lovely to hear the train whistles and we found a great Thai takeaway at The Hope Inn, Hythe plus theres an Aldis,caravan & motorhome repairs and sales not far away on the main road . We will be back for longer but will check the site wifi & washing machines work befor booking for more than 3-4 nights.
Lovely Site —- BUT!
Daleacres Club Campsite
We are here at present and staying for just short of 4 weeks. We have stayed here for the past few years.
As usual before we set out I checked the “before you travel” information, all good so on our way.
On arrival one of the first things we noticed was the sign saying that BOTH washing machines were out of order, on discussion with the warden it seems these machines are becoming obsolete (they take coins not tokens) so are not financially viable for repair.
Why was that info not flagged up on the site page? When you stay for more than a week these things are important.
Secondly where are all the pretty flower raised beds gone?
It seems that the wardens are doing a great job but are unsupported by the club.
Weekend with friends
Daleacres Club Campsite
We were booked for the weekend and cancelled just 24 hours before because the grass was wet and no hard standing available, so 2 nights only. I feel that this was poor because the state of the ground can be assessed before hand. Ruined the weekend.
Note bins are no longer around the site.

Too many dogs
Daleacres Club Campsite
We live close to this site so it's easy for us to come for an early season visit. The new wardens seem to be coping well but I did not feel that on signing in campers were informed about the 5 mph speed limit as we witnessed vehicles far exceeding the limit
Each time we visit there seems to be more and more members with dogs. This time we saw some couples with two and three dogs. On a daily basis some of these members stopped on the road in front of our pitch to allow their dogs to defecate. Yes the mess was picked up but it's not what I want to see as I'm eating my breakfast thank you.
Members children are being charged for on all sites and to date I have not seen any kids going to the toilet on the pitch.
Dogs however are allowed on site free of charge and can make as much mess as they like and yap and bark at every person or car that passes.
It's time that the club woke up to the fact that not everybody likes dogs. In general Daleacres has a lot too offer visitors but beware its too dog friendly in our opinion.
