ACCEO works with Defra and other Government bodies on behalf of the member Clubs. In this way, ACCEO is able to provide both services and access to facilities not directly available to Clubs, protects Member Clubs interests, and offers help and advice on caravan/camping related topics.

The category of 'Personal Membership' has also been introduced as a means of individual members supporting the Association in addition to support from their Clubs. Discount offers are provided to personal members.

ACCEO also provides a service to member Clubs by arranging caravan rallies when extended over 5 days. The organisation also arranges rallies in National Parks. It is necessary to comply with the National Parks timetable for booking rallies.

ACCEO prepares information sheets as general guidance on aspects of caravanning which assists Clubs to keep up to date with legislation which may have an impact on their Club. They provide information as the basis for further investigation rather than a definitive statement
