  • 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.

Great spot for London trips. Guests love the clean showers & friendly staff. Nature and walks are a plus. Beware of geese droppings and occasional train/plane noise.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Level pitches, good facilities, beautiful surroundings

Disliked The geese poo which was EVERYWHERE!!
All over the grass on our pitch and the entire site!
We spoke to reception but we were made to feel as if it was just part of the site.
Unfortunately there was so much geese poo it was difficult to step around our pitch without stepping on any :-(

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked "We spent 3 wonderful days here. It’s a fantastic place to recharge. The whole area is tidy and nicely maintained.
Our cabin was sparkling clean and ready when we arrived.
Absolutely no complaints! We and our furry friend loved every minute of our stay. We’ll definitely be back!"

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Plentiful toilets and showers. Well-maintained grounds and amenities. Convenient location (cheap train to London from Broxbourne, good road links to M11, M25 etc). Surprisingly rural feel to the site, despite its location just on the edge of town. Friendly staff.

Disliked Entirely beyond the site’s control, some clientele were a bit loud and boisterous, particularly in communal areas - though even they did tend to tone it down after about 10pm. The goose droppings referred to elsewhere were noticeable but not particularly problematic.

Recommend to friends Visit again

A lovely site with very helpful staff.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked The staff were absolutely FANTASTIC .! From arrival ,where all our camp gear was taken to our pitch by buggy , and back to reception when we were leaving by a super bloke ,whom then rang up a taxi for us.We forget his name ,but he was great,then to find out the taxi driver would only be 10mins.,as he lived on site ,he was so nice too.Gary Brown .The pitch was very well placed for us,near to the loos and washing up.We had a great stay and would like to thank everyone.

Disliked We know there was a pre-warning about the geese , but we weren't quite prepared for all the guano,haha. The only other thing is my partner who used the lower end toilets (nearest the main gate ) , the ladies hot tap in the ladies were rarely working.Either ,when the hot tap was pressed it wouldn't move and no water,or,when pressed a trickle then nothing.Can't fault anything else.

For a short camping trip this place is ideal. We will stay again

2 bedroom safari tent (no pets)

Liked Safari tent was great, lovely space and furniture. Whole site nice and quiet, shop handy for bits and pieces.

Disliked Showers were clean but shower heads desperately need de-scaling or replacing, terrible flow of water in most (or in one case in the men's no shower head at all).

Quiet site. Very clean facilities. Liked…

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Wir sind vom 27.7.-31.7.26 hier gewesen.Der Campingplatz ist echt super.Sauber,ruhig und mit viel Liebe in die Natur eingebunden.Wir sind erst später angekommen aber alles hat super geklappt.Flugzeuge und Bahn sind so minimal zu hören,es ist super.Wenn man nach London möchte sollte man mit dem Auto bis Boxbourne fahren und dann mit dem Zug weiter.Hat super geklappt.Alle sind nett und hilfsbereit.Preis für 2Erw.,2Kinder als 24Std Ticket um die 60€ und fürs parken 9€ umgerechnet.

Disliked Ich wüsste nichts negatives zu berichten.Die Wildgänse gehören hier bestimmt schon lange….. zum Platz.Sie kommen abends vom Wasser herüber.Das ist halt Natur und eigentlich super schön.Schön campen kann man zu Hause im Haus machen.

From the manager: Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung; wir hoffen, dass Sie sich bald wieder für einen Aufenthalt bei uns entscheiden.

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.
