  • Family-friendly Hertfordshire touring site near Waltham Cross
  • A 35-minute drive to Warner Bros. Studio Tour for Harry Potter fans
  • Easy access from the M25 and close to London train services
The words ‘camping’ and ‘London’ don't often go together – so when you find a site that manages both it’s well worth taking a look. Just to the north of the capital, Theobalds Park is in a handy Hertfordshire spot that gives you all the greenery and fresh air of a countryside campsite plus easy access to central London for days out. The hardstanding touring pitches here are set in lovely woodland surroundings with open grass areas and plenty of space to relax in the open air. Dogs and kids are welcome; the on-site launderette may prove useful for any muddy mishaps they might have. A motorhome service point is also provided, along with toilets and showers (including wheelchair-accessible facilities). Getting here should be nice and straightforward, as the location is very close to Junction 25 of the M25, where the orbital meets the A10. It’s just outside the town of Waltham Cross, putting it within easy reach of shops and places to eat (you’ll be allowed a barbecue on site, by the way, so pack yours if you fancy some alfresco cooking). The town’s railway station is a very useful facility as well, with services taking you into central London in about half an hour. Not that it’s all about city day trips when you stay here though – being in the outskirts means you’ll also be able to plan outdoor activities like walks, fishing and birdwatching or opt for some of outer London’s attractions like the Natural History Museum at Tring or the popular Warner Bros. Studio Tour.

Laura W.

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Proximity to London was great and we were in North London in less than an hour with an Uber/Overground. Pitches were spacious and the kids enjoyed the slide.

Disliked No bins in ladies toilets so they were getting pretty grubby. I was assured a bit was on the way but a temporary solution would have been easy to achieve.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Laura,
Glad to read that the site was ideal for your travel plans and that your children enjoyed their time here. The lack of bins was due to being let down by a supplier. I did try a black refuse sack before your stay but found this ripped and rubbish on floor so took it away. I'll ensure that the bins are placed asap.

Excellent facilities

Barry C N.

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Great location for getting into town easy to find and you can avoid the ULEZ getting there but you very close . Great welcome from the site manager and the site has great size pitches with very good condition hook ups .
The facilities are plenty full and clean with lots of water points it all well kept .
Great for families with play areas and open space and as it's spacious peaceful enough for solos .

Disliked Some will complain about the hum from motorway traffic but it wasn't a prob for me at night

From the manager: Hi Susan,
Thank you for your review. I have had to tell people on more than one occasion to slow down. Sadly, as you saw, they don't listen! We have new larger speed signs being installed around site in the next few days. We are also looking at speed humps for the loger parts of the road structure.

Local attractions

London has to be the big attraction, of course – hop on the train for half an hour and you’ll be right there in one of the world's great cities. The list of things to do is almost endless – first-timers will definitely want to see landmarks like Big Ben, the London Eye and Buckingham Palace but there are heaps of interesting things around for all ages and tastes. If you don’t fancy the crowds of central London, take a look at local options – perhaps wandering in the gardens at Forty Hall Estate (five minutes' drive), meeting the animals at Willows Activity Farm (20 minutes) or exploring the eclectic exhibits at the Natural History Museum at Tring (45 minutes). Fans of a certain boy wizard will surely be delighted with the Warner Bros. Studio Tour (35 minutes) too. Fancy some outdoor time? Head to Lee Valley Country Park (10 minutes) for walks, fishing, birdwatching and cycling, or adrenaline activities at the Lee Valley White Water Centre. Epping Forest (15 minutes) is another good option for a long walk or bike ride.
