Aldenham Country Park

It was beautiful.

–

Loved how there were walking trails, a little zoo, places for a picnic and a little shop. It was really natural looking and we were able to do what we liked with our set up and make it our own. There was security at night which was really impressive and made us feel safe. Really enjoyed it overall!

It is right beside an airport for small planes so a lot of low flying planes and helicopters, the notice wasn’t outrageous though. Also wished the shop had sold various camping foods for when we ran out instead of just cafe but the town did Uber eats grocery delivery to the front gates so we were able to find a way.

The area was lovely, not too far Away from everything but still felt I was in the countryside.
The staff were very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Loved that they were happy to answer my questions

The toilets were not very well maintained and the area around the sink could do with some boards or something down so it’s not slippy

Stayed in the 'School' field which is a good camping field with adequate basic facilities. As it was a busy weekend the music off at 10pm was a blessing and everyone seemed to respect the quieter later evening time.

Staff very nice and accomodating.

Good choice for young families because of the nearby Farm, and park facilites.

Would have preferd to stay in the 'Avenue' field which was closed for some reason. This is the one they show on Pitch-up with lots of trees/rope swings etc.

Recycling was non existent which is a shame in this day and age.

Toilets are chemical portaloos which are never a nice experience. Only basic 2 showers available for the School Field.

There was plenty of spaces between the pitches and the they were fairly flat and level.

The staff seemed nice and were friendly.

Lovely walk in the 100 Aker Wood (great for kids) and nice walk round the reservoir.

The toilets seemed to flush with the contents of the tanks below and I don’t think had been changed for a while (smelled really bad!)

Fires should only be made using the wood bought there - we spent £64 of wood for the two nights fires.

Almost everything (including the play park) had extra costs attached.

This was our second stay this year and the second field was open this time which was lovely with all the trees. The country park is great to explore and location is perfect for visiting London.

Large open space in two fields. Plenty of toilets. Friendly staff. Price for solo travellers. Lovely setting with plenty to do in surrounding area.

Directions (easy to miss entrance). Limited washing/washing up facilities compared to size of rest of park. Price to multiple people.

However there is a big issue when it has rained. The gates to both fields are not properly maintained. Absolute mudbath with cars getting stuck, made entrance to second field impossible.

The second big issue was the roping off of reserved areas. This was the entire outside of the field. It forced everone else into the muddy inner field. To make matters worse all but 2 of these areas were unused while I was there.When a large party then camped right next to me and played music until 3am it was all too close to comfort. Completely needless issue that could be avoided with better management of this site.

Very friendly staff, a secure rural location so close to London!

–

Spacious pitch areas, open fires which smelled amazing. loved the pick up coming round to check if additional firewood was needed and an icecream van in the evening.
For a cheap pitch near London it was okay.

A bit close to a main road and an air field.
Toilet facilities are porta-loos and not much cleaner than festival toilets, showers are rudimentary shacks but functional and the water was hot.

Location & things to do.
