Aldenham Country Park

Syntes om have been so excited to write this review and give the campsite and staff the incredible praise it and they deserve!

My wife and I arrived on Friday morning after travelling down from Manchester. We had originally booked a two night stay as we were attending the Coldplay concert on Friday. Upon arrival, staff were super polite, friendly and smiley! We pitched our tent and made ourselves comfortable. We then headed to the concert, had a fabulous evening and returned to the site afterwards and headed to bed.

On Saturday we decided a chilled day was in order, so we headed to the cafe on site for some breakfast. Delicious food, friendly staff and a beautiful outdoor seating area. In the afternoon, we headed off site to “The Lost Jungle” which was a really cool outdoor crazy golf course. It was about a ten minute drive away from the site and really reasonably priced. We sat outside our tent on Saturday evening and watched families play football, rounders and relax by their campfires. The atmosphere on the site was lovely, and although it was quite busy, everyone was very respectful and most people headed inside for 10pm.

On Sunday when we woke up, we were not ready to leave! We spoke to a staff member and luckily, they were able to squeeze us in for another night! We were so grateful as it was bank holiday Sunday and the site was still quite busy. We purchased firewood and made a fire and once again, spent a lovely evening relaxing and cooking.

We had beautiful views of the sunset and sunrise each evening and morning. The surrounding walks are beautiful and there is so much to do around the park.

As two thirty something year olds, we didn’t feel out of place playing football, bat and ball and badminton every evening! Every person we spoke to was friendly and welcoming.

Do not be put off by the portloo toilets - the staff are fantastic and were at the toilets every hour replenishing toilet paper and cleaning up. The showers were hot and powerful and more than fine for a few nights stay.

We are seasoned campers and have been to so many different places and sites, but this one really was something special. The atmosphere every single day was so lovely and we got very lucky with the bank holiday sunshine! We would recommend this site to anyone! Perfect for couples, families and even larger groups. We will one million percent be back! Thank you!

Syntes om Hot showers and clean toilets.
The site was not too busy. I felt safe as a solo female traveler.
Was greeted by a lovely young man called Zak who was very helpful.
The walk around the lake is really beautiful and the delightful 100 Aker Winnie the Pooh wood is a quaint little area to explore.
I didn’t research the area before I arrived and would liked to have had more information on nearby local walks and trails.

Syntes ikke om £3 for a 500ml bottle of Diet Coke at the kiosk was expensive.
The camping fields are quite exposed with only a few trees for shade so choose your pitch wisely if it’s really sunny.

Syntes om The staff were phenomenal, friendly, and willing to go above and beyond to help you out!!!

Syntes ikke om The facilities are very family-oriented with both the playpark, mini mini-golf and mini quad bikes all being better suited to children. There is also a Winnie the Pooh walk, which is suitable for older individuals as a nice shaded walk, if you didn't want to go around the unshaded reservoir, so this is aimed at children but appeals to all ages.

The cafe was very small and lacked any air conditioning, causing it to be hotter inside than just being outside. This, alongside their closure on Tuesdays and short operating hours, with hot food ending even earlier each day.

Finally, the farm was quite expensive to enter, so I cannot comment on it as we found the price to be much too high.

Syntes om Nice big flat field

Syntes ikke om Very poor and not clean sanitary facilities (Dixie’s), no hot water to do dishes and no where the option for electricity. The staff was only between 9-16h on site.
