  • 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.

A great, peaceful spot with friendly staff. Clean facilities, some with heating. Spacious pitches, nice walks, and good London access. Watch out for goose droppings & some dated facilities/traffic noise.

Martine & David W.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

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.

Liked Location, walks next to water and fairly close station to get into London. Able to use Oyster card for cheaper travel. Facilities good but need better maintenance.

Disliked Didn't mind geese wondering around but grass on our pitch was covered in goose poo!

Liked The washing facilities, toilets and showers were all clean and easily accessible. The campsite was in a good location for walking along the canals and rivers.

Disliked The shop was very limited and there were no nearby grocery shops within walking distance. As I didn't come with a car I had to get an Uber grocery delivery.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked We have stayed here before location is great for my son. It’s an great area with lots of walking or bike riding to do by the canal. Very friendly and accommodating staff .

Disliked Only dislike was pitch up did not put our booking through to the site which meant we were not on a hard standing pitch . This was very disappointing as they could have let us down big time if the campsite was full.

It really is a great place to stay!

Wee Brave wigwam (no pets)

Liked I came here for 2 nights, and everything was good and peaceful. The huts are as clean as home, and the whole environment is quiet. There is space to do BBQ, walk around in nature, and space to just sit down and have a snack. There is also a cafe, pub and a pathway (to walk) near Dobbs Weir

Note: I had to leave the key in the room, whilst checking out as I needed to take my younger relative to her GP appointment, I tried to check out at the reception but maybe I was a bit too early (it was around 8am); I'm really sorry if this caused any disruption, and created any extra work

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.
