This is our absolute favourite site. Short walk from a great pub serving home cooked food. Short cycle to a brewery and the royal military canal which takes you right down to Hythe seafront where there are two great places to get fish and chips on the beach. It’s also easily cycled to Port Lympne although it is pretty hilly to get to. You can even see the giraffes from the site and sometimes hear the lions! The site is chilled, clean, quiet and really friendly staff there too. Can’t wait to go back!
Wonderful Campsite
We stayed 14 nights (end of july - start of august 2023) at Deleacres Campsite. It was our "base camp" to make day trips and explore South England (Canterbury, Dover, London, Stonehenge, etc.).
The Campsite is beautiful, quiet and has really big pitches. The camp staff is really helpful and friendly. Everything is very clean and well kept.
There is a pub not far away from the Campsite, the "Botolphs Bridge Inn", where you can have good food and drinks (incl. sunday roast). The next town is Hythe where you can shop. The "Romney Hythe an Dymchurch Railway" (little trains) is an attraction you should not miss.
We would come back anytime!
One hint: If you have a big caravan or motorhome and come via M20 and A20 to Deleacres, make sure you take the A261 to Hythe, drive through Hythe and take the Dymchurch road. These are the wider roads.
Otherwise your Navigation system might send you through the narrowest roads it could find, as it happened to us. ;)

Great weekend
Daleacres has become our ‘go to’ for weekend breaks, it is only a 20 minute drive from home but we love it there. Usual high standard of facilities, good choice of pitches and really friendly, helpful wardens.
We were joined on this trip by friends who booked the yurts on site, these looked superb.
The local pub serves good food, there is also a cafe/bar called Unit1 not far away that serves great local ale and snacks
We have already booked to return in September.
Not the best week ever.
Beautiful site, friendly wardens however week was really a bit spoiled by the number of unsupervised, badly behaved children.
Toilet block continually full of small children who were circling the site and caravans on their cycles and scooters.
Consequently the toilets always seemed to be unflushed snd continually out of toilet paper and hand soap.
Such a shame some that parents have no concern whatsoever for other campers.
As I said, beautiful site, so I'm sure if you visit in term time would be lovely.
Excellent as usual
We have been coming to Daleacres for over 20 years and have also used the storage facility and had a seasonal pitch. The standards have always been of the highest order and the wardens second to none.
However this is our second visit of 2023 and we noticed that at least 2 showers and toilets remain out of commission.
The number of yurts has been increased which leads to a higher foot fall with lesser facilities avalable. Whilst this didn't appear to be a problem during our visit it could be during the school holidays.
We were also aware that there had been some wilful damage to one of the new yurts making it very unpleasant for the very hard working wardens.
Despite the above Daleacres remains a favorite site and we'll be back soon.
Disappointing
Quite disappointed, no WiFi, told you can sit on a bench by the office as there's a hotspot, which a lot of the time doesn't work! Two of the ladies toilets were out of order the whole week, one of which was out of order when I visited earlier in the year.
There were a couple of dogs that were not on leads and some caravans leaving after midday, which is an issue due to the road width. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Our new favourite
Despite Daleacres being close to our home, we love to stay there. It is very well kept and extremely clean.
The wardens are super friendly, particularly Diane who even remembers our name from previous visits.
The environment is in the country, it is quiet and peaceful. Lots of trees and farmers fields surround the site.
A very useful shop is on site that stocks the most vital needs particularly the ice cream freezer that has the biggest stock of Walls Magnum’s that you will ever find.
Daleacres has become our home from home and we always leave with a hope that we will be returning again soon.
Daleacres
All of Daleacres wardens are the best, nothing is to much trouble for them . If they can help in any way to assist you they will. They always chat to you in passing and have a laugh with you. Its the wardens that bring you back each time, the best site we have ever been on.
Perfect Weekend Away
Thanks so much to all the team at the Daleacres site, who made us feel so so welcome for one of our first weekends away camping! I went camping with my 2 year old son and my dog in our Rooftent on top of the car, and Diane and all her colleagues made us feel so relaxed at this site for the 4 nights we stayed. Even though the site was quite busy, with everyone enjoying the weather, it felt like we had enough space to have our own weekend without disturbing anyone else. There is also so much to do nearby! With Port Lympne, Hythe and the beaches so close, we had so much fun. Thank you so much Diane, and can't wait to come back in July!
