What customers say

This campsite offers a brilliant, peaceful location with many visitors highlighting the friendly and helpful staff. Facilities, particularly showers and toilets, are frequently described as clean, with some noting the welcome addition of heating. The spacious, level pitches and proximity to river and canal walks are popular, as is the convenient access to London. A common downside mentioned is the presence of goose droppings on pitches. Some minor issues with dated facilities and occasional noise from traffic/trains were noted.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Good pitches , friendly staff, good location

Disliked Dog poo on our pitch when we arrived and lots more around the site. Clearly the site need to get more strict on this issue. Haven't seen as much dog poo for years. Disgraceful!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review - it's great to hear our staff were friendly and the site was all that you needed. We're sorry you encountered an issue with dog mess and we have shared this with the team onsite to look into.

Liked camping bastante aceptable, buena limpieza y muy tranquilo

Disliked la distancia que hay que recorrer andando para coger el tren a Londres, treinta minutos por un bosque, o un Uber te lleva en diez minutos por unas diez libras

Big Chief wigwam (pet friendly)

Liked Very fun little cabin to stay in with lots of camping accessories. Don’t forget to bring your own bedding though!

Disliked Playground wasn’t available. Couldn’t find any drinking water on-site.

Georgie G.

Big Chief wigwam (no pets)

Liked The Big Chief Wigwam was excellent for us as a family of 4. Spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The decked area and picnic bench were also a great touch. Fridge and portable hob for food and cooking, toaster, kettle and cutlery - we only needed to bring bedding.
The toilets were clean and tidy.

Disliked The exterior of the fridge was rusted and didnt look great, but the interior was clean it worked fine.
Some of the other guests were intimidating, particularly those with an aggressive dog, but this is not something the site can control, I guess.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and it was great to hear that you loved the camping pod. The team will take a look at the fridge and check it out. We do have rules in place regarding dogs on site, if at anytime you have concerns regarding behaviour please flag them to a member of our team. We hope to see you again soon

Martine & David W.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Brilliant location, an oasis of nature. Relaxing base for exploring.

We used it as a base to go to a concert at White Hart Lane. Easy journey from the local station into London. Uber picked us up at the main gate.

Disliked Toilet and shower doors were difficult or impossible to lock. The whole cubicle system needs some maintenance to rectify this issue. A shame as there are LOADS of toilets and showers on offer, just not usable.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your great review and we’re glad to hear you had a fantastic time! We have passed your comments regarding the issues with the locks on some of the cubicle doors onto the team onsite for them to look into We hope this won't deter you from staying with us again.

Disliked Disliked the fact that
There is a lot of goose pooh around ,
Would be nice if the site

If they know you going there to clear it up
As you lay down the awning on Pooh
Not nice the disadvantage

Liked Nothing! Felt a deliberate act to get more money

Disliked Be aware if you don’t put in your reg at the terminal you will get a parking fine. We were not told, we now have a £100 fine to pay. BAD receptionist.
Greese poo! everywhere. Busy road, very noisy! Won’t be going back!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We’re sorry that you didn’t enjoy your stay at our site. We do have parking cameras within our site and parking is free for anyone staying with us. At point of booking with Pitch Up, customers are requested to put their car registration numbers in, are reminded again when they receive a pre-visit email from us as well as there being signage throughout the site. It is our normal process that our reception team remind customers when they arrive about car registration numbers too. As a site surrounded by water we are very popular with the local geese population and this inevitably leads to poo on the grass areas, we regularly mow the grass to disperse the dropping.

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.
