  • Surrounded by Hertfordshire and Essex countryside
  • Half an hour by train from London
  • Bike hire, countryside views, playground and shop
Are you up for escaping London town for a spell? Or how about settling down within easy reach of it at less than city prices – leaving you free to spend your dosh on train fares into town and quite a lot of London beer? Have a look at Lee Valley Caravan Park Dobbs Weir, only 30 minutes from the glittery lights of the capital. A nifty base for city trips or Lee Valley sojourns, Dobbs Weir is surrounded by Hertfordshire and Essex green countryside, and carefully landscaped to fit in with its natural surroundings (excellent countryside views come as standard). Pitches have plenty of space between them so there's no chance of feeling hemmed in. Bike hire is available, along with free wifi, a playground and a site shop. Amenities include disabled access facilities with heated toilet and shower blocks, chemical disposal, and a laundry with drying and ironing.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Großzügiger und sauberer Platz. Freundliche Platzbetreiber, gute Serviceeinrichtungen (sogar mit in England seltener Grauwasserentsorgung). Auf der einen Seite Industriegebiet (ruhig) und auf der anderen ein schöner Kanal, an dem man auch mit Hund schön laufen kann.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Great views of the river and canal with a very friendly an warm Pub 5 minute walk and a nice cafe for breakfast. The toilets whilst a little dated were very clean and well looked after. The whole site is kept very clean with friendly staff. There are some fishing jettys along the river on the site that can be used by campers and the area has some nice walks along the tow paths.

Disliked: The weather it was cold but we stayed in January so this was expected and not the sites fault lol

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Saw quite a bit of wildlife in the park including foxes and deer. Quiet location.

Disliked: Narrow pitches even for a VW T6. (Small pitch allocated.) Therefore very close to grassed area on either side which was muddy due to rainfall unfortunately. Could benefit from slightly larger pitches as ample room on either side to accommodate drier footing and space to movement around vehicle.
