Surprisingly Good

Well run and managed by a hard working site team.We visited just as children returning to school,so I can guess even more peaceful.Site was very well attended,with only the occasional empty pitch. Hythe town a couple of miles away is worth a visit,especially if the weather is favourable and then you can visit the beach areas. Rye is amazing,even having to top up the car parking,with lovely old buildings,town maps are available from the library and some pubs,it is a hand drawn map,but covers all worth seeing and also adds the the atmosphere of the place. Port Lympne park is directly opposite the site,on the hill in the distance,and some animals visable,but we didn't visit this time.

Really good site

The staff is very friendly and the site is lovely. The shower blocks have always got very wet and slippery floors which can become a problem, and also they could be cleaner. But overall, always really good stay here. We have been a few times and will come back again.

Daleacres NOT as it once was!

We have just got back from 2 weeks at Daleacres it is still a favourite of ours,but was a bit disappointed with our pitch it was overgrown and full of weeds and trying to peg down an awning in the hard standing was a complete nightmare bent all our pegs it’s solid concrete. Showers need a clean mid to late afternoon as by the evening they were not so clean and quite slippery. Site was busy and 1 washing machine was not adequate to facilitate the amount of outfits on the site. It also felt quite crammed in the pitches especially on grass and no way was or did it feel like a 6m rule between pitches. Also children out running around or on bikes late after dark is an accident waiting to happen,no wardens checking or walking around sometimes the stopped the children and told the, to go the right way around the site but this was daylight hours.The new bin system I feel works really well. Overall we loved our stay and will continue to stay here as we love the area so very much. Just needs a general spruce up!!!! The wardens dogs were a bit noisy as well barking a lot during the day which was a bit of a nuisance as we would probably get told if it was our dog…So come on Daleacres Spruce yourself up again ….. we still Love it there and always will.

Excellent Site

Just spent the weekend at Daleacres with children and grandchildren and it was a pleasure. All the children racing around on bikes and families playing games created a nice atmosphere. It’s a busy site during the holidays. The facilities are clean and tidy and pitches are fine. Any negative reviews are unfair as it seems to be fellow campers that find it difficult to deposit their recyclable waste and food waste and generally clean up after themselves. It’s a great site and in a lovely area with plenty to see and do.

Peaceful break

Decided to have a couple of nights away. Its a site only an hour away from us and enables us to cycle as lovely and flat and pretty. Hythe is a lovely town and cycling to Folkstone along the military canal is lovely. Stayed here last year and after reading the reviews was slightly concerned of some recent reviews. Fear not......we were just as happy as we were last year when we stayed. It is a very peaceful quite site in the country. We choose the same pitch as last year as we have the evening sunsets to sit outside with. PLenty of space and you are not close to your neighbours like some sites we have been on in the past. The rubbish situation as people have mentioned has changed but for the better really saving tons of plastic. You do need a car or a bike to get anywhere unless you are there for a walking break. If you are thinking of going and are put off by the reviews please ignore them like we did, book it and go with an open mind and enjoy the peace and quite and beautiful contryside and views. We only stayed 2 nights but had a wonderful time, cycled 45 miles and loved every minute of it. Enjoy if you go.

Very disappointing

We have been going to Dale acres for several years now but this year has been the worse !! The site is no where near to how it used to be ,showers were not very nice , they need to have a quick once over in the late afternoon/ evening . Cleaning in the morning not enough in the peak period Slippery in places . The grounds have been left , weeds all growing on pitches and the borders neglected . Waste has changed to only having bins at the entrance can get very smelly and full at times . Much better having them dotted round the site (more tidy) Unfortunately didn’t see much of the wardens like we used to on there tractors doing maintenance Prices have gone up , standards have dropped Shame as it’s a lovely place to visit hythe and Folkestone and lovely walks , cycling along sea front is great . Fish and chips were lovely in dymchurch

So close to the LeShuttle

Only 15mins from the shuttle and a service station in between to top up fuel. Site is located through a small village which can get "busy" in peak times but locals are sympathetic to motorhomes and will let you pass. Site is very clean, good showers, clean toilets washing up and laundry all very good. Perfect for a 1 night stop over if catching morning train. Our go-to stop.

Nice site - and more inclusive for all

I spent a couple of nights at this site as I was traveling around Kent with my German Sheppard. The roads leading to this site were narrow( not the site's fault - but worth highlighting) however worth it . Not very busy when I got there so had a great choice of pitches- chose a ice grassy pitch away from everyone ( not everyone are keen on big dogs) Loved the dog walking field which I used daily. Also like the idea that there were pods and allowed tents. This encourages friends to get together even if they don't own Motorhomes or caravans- Tenting was how my family and friends were introduced to camping over 20 year ago and fell in love with it! Found the staff here to be friendly and helpful, grounds well kept and faculties very clean. You do need a car or bike to go anywhere as it is in the middle of the countryside . I enjoyed my time here.

POOR STANDARDS AND POOR FACILITIES

First the good point is that this site is in a fantastic location surrounded by beautiful countryside. Now the bad points are the washing machines are both out of use and have been for a long time, the games room is now closed and shows no sign of ever reopening, the childrens playground now has the main piece of equipment boarded off and out of use and the ground has a covering of pigeon poo, the grass is left very long and is not pleasant when on a grass pitch on wet mornings, what was once lovely planters are falling apart and empty, weeds are taking over the hardstanding pitches, this seems to be a meeting point for noisy mass gatherings and the Yurts generate a lot of noise ,it seems to be if you want to stay here you have to be accompanied by several barking dogs at all hours of the day and night.

Decline in standards

Having visited this site many times over our years of caravanning I can only say I feel it has declined in its standards. I feel this is partly due to the club and its maintenance programme as well as the move to more environmental compliances. The new system of a centralised waste point is OK but while there these large wheelie bins were smelling and I would suggest not very hygienic. During our recent stay we wanted to use the washing machines but found they were out of order something we only noted on our arrival despite these being shown as available on the site facilities page,also reading a previous review while onsite it appears these machines have been out of service for sometime. Shower head in the mobility facility was broken which we reported. I would have thought this would be picked up during cleaning. The footpath leading into the facilities block is still very uneven with 2 manhole covers protruding,something we mentioned the year before last year but still no action taken. Potholes are significant at the entrance as you are on site. Overall I feel this site needs an update particularly when you see the money club that being is investing in other sites.
