It's our first caravan, we'd had it a couple of weeks, so wanted somewhere not too far from home for our first outing. We chose Daleacres - whew, great choice!! The staff were lovely - friendly and helpful, explaining it all to us with great patience, and making us feel very welcome. Having camped many years ago, we were very impressed with the cleanliness and facilities in the shower block, and the washing up area was equally good. We met some lovely people on the site, who let us look at their kit to get some ideas, and gave helpful advice. Our tent pegs proved to be only fit for a childs tent, so we learned from the experienced and invested in some you can put in with a drill - so much easier than all that kneeling and banging! The dog walk was great, mown pathways, a great space and lovely views to look at as we walked. Our dog couldn't wait to get back there again...and again...and again! I know now...not to take too much food, they sell great local produce on site; not to take too many books, there's a very cheap book sale area in the reception. It was lovely and quiet, a bit disappointed not to hear the lions but the wind (lots of it that weekend!) was probably in the wrong direction. We had a great time and can't wait for next weekend - just hope the Bognor site is as nice. Yes, there were kids on bikes, but they were kids having a great time - after all, it was school holidays and it's hardly the M25 - let them have fun, the serious stuff comes all too quickly. A huge thanks to the lovely staff and the kind people who gave help and advice or just chatted - we are already looking forward to a return visit.
