  • Quiet site between River Lee Country Park and RSPB Rye Meads
  • A 20-minute walk from Hoddesdon; 30 minutes to Rye House train station
  • Bicycle hire, countryside views and shop on site
Folks who like wildlife, cycling and country views will surely like the idea of settling down between RSPB Rye Meads and River Lee Country Park in Hertfordshire. That's where Park Lee Valley Caravan Park Dobbs Weir conveniently sits, surrounded by green countryside and bordered by a river on one side where guests can go fishing during the fishing season. After hiring a bicycle from the site, it's only a 10-minute cycle to the River Lee Country Park's boat centre, next to a pub and café. The country park has a lovely network of cycling and walking trails, as well as a wildlife discovery centre (20 minutes' cycle), a white water centre and a disc golf course (both half an hour's cycle). Lee Valley Caravan Park Dobbs Weir is also a doddle to get to, especially for London dwellers. It's half an hour's walk away from Rye House train station, where there's a direct 35-minute train to London Liverpool Street station. The centre of Hoddesdon is also only a 20-minute walk away from the site, making getting out to supermarkets, restaurants and shops as easy as can be. There are plenty of handy amenities on site too, from the heated toilet and shower blocks (with wheelchair accessible toilets) to laundry facilities with drying and ironing and a chemical disposal point. Pitches are nicely spaced out, and dogs are welcome on site.

Laura F.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Great little campsite with friendly staff. Pitch was quite boggy but that was due to the weather conditions.

Toilets and showers were hot and very clean.

Disliked Only downside was the female showers were out of use due to maintenance and only one disabled shower room open at the time of our visit.

Rachael G.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Great site, shower & toilet blocks heated, showers fab as they stay on as long as you need and very hot water. Staff friendly always doing maintenance round the site. Free WiFi worked well for all our browsing. Location so good for joining cycles paths and walks along river banks. 20 min walk into Hoddesdon for supermarkets and shops. Bonus fireworks close by at midnight for seeing in the New Year.

Big Chief wigwam (no pets)

Liked We only needed it as a base to sleep for the night so didn't really use the site but the big chief wigwam was clean, tidy and importantly for a November stay really warm. It was really well appointed with everything we needed. Toilets and shower block were nice and clean

Disliked We were sent the wrong code to get onto the site but was given the correct one by someone else who was staying on site

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for you review and we’re delighted to hear the Wigwam was lovely and warm for your stay. We’ve passed on the comment about the incorrect code to the team to look into. We hope to see you again soon.

Would be great in the summer not so good in the winter

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The staff here are very friendly, the toilets and showers were warm and very clean.

Disliked Unfortunately it was poor weather, the site as flooded in parts, and covered in goose poo.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and it’s good to hear our staff and facilities were great. Unfortunately, in exceptionally rainy weather the site can suffer a bit from flooding due to its location next to the river, this location is also popular with the geese too which can lead to some droppings around the site.

Very clean site and facilities where very good

Local attractions

Lee Valley Caravan Park Dobbs Weir's location in the Hertfordshire countryside puts guests within striking distance of walking and cycling trails, watersports and other activities in the Lee Valley Country Park. However, that's not the only reason that you should visit these parts… Hertfordshire Zoo (15 minutes' drive) is on the other side of Hoddesdon for animal encounters, and Epping Forest (25 minutes) is to the southeast, with a small zoo and more hiking and cycling trails. The very keen walkers among you may want to set your sights on a more challenging path. The Essex Way, a rural 81-mile path that can be followed as far as you like, begins in Epping Forest. Harry Potter fans could take themselves off to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London (40 minutes) for a day among the franchise's famed costumes and sets. Meanwhile, those who are more interested in history can go over to Copped Hall Trust (25 minutes) to fawn over the Georgian mansion and gardens.
