As the name suggests, Commons Wood Club Campsite backs onto delightful woodlands and is within reach of several beautiful parks. For those who fancy some excitement and limitless shopping options, the campsite is only 30 minutes away from central London by a fast and frequent train service into King's Cross. Easy access to the city makes this Hertfordshire campsite an ideal base to visit any of London's popular exhibitions held at sites such as Olympia or Kew Gardens.
Commons Wood Club Campsite offers a wealth of options to keep everyone in the family happy. The lovely Stanborough Park is only about 2 miles away with a playground and crazy golf as well as a gorgeous lake where you can try your hand at boating and fishing. Reed Marsh Reserve - which is incorporated within Stanborough Park- is an ideal spot for bird watching. You can also explore several stately homes within the local area. The closest town to the campsite is Welwyn Garden City, built soon after the First World War as part of the Ebenezer Howard's Garden City movement and one of the finest examples of modern town planning. Its rich history is evident in such artefacts as a Roman Bath preserved in a steel vault under the nearby A1.

Everything you could want plus proximity to London if you fancy
Decent facilities, well laid out, nice walk for dogs through the grounds at Hatfield House and a good convenient location. My only reservation would be the facility to empty the grey water tank (it’s a bit clumsy), but that aside it ranks as a top site. Staff are not quite... Show more

Absolutely Amazing
Wonderful friendly welcome, beautifully clean site with modern clean facilities. As a new member, totally impressed, good value for money. Bonus, no mud to contend with when getting water or disposing of waste. Lovely walks. Would highly recommend a visit.

Nice campsite but no concessions for my 31year old daughter with learning disabilities we had to pay full adult price.
Not happy as there were no concessions this trip was to see Harry Potter world for our Daughter who has a disability we were charged full adult price for her this is the 1st time this has happened to us. Maybe stick to caravan & camping club sites... Show more

Beautifully clean with a warm and friendly welcome.
Small site, located on the edge of a town. Backs onto some nice woodland walks. Generous sized pitches which sweep around the site in a circle. Seems to help the site feel spacious and provide a bit more space between the pitched. The toilet blocks were immaculately clean and really warm... Show more

Needed somewhere to pitch up whilst working in the area. Booking was easy and the site ticks all the boxes. Facilities on site are better than expected and are extremely clean. I’d have no hesitation returning again or recommending to friends / family.

Superb woodland retreat
I’ve stayed here a few times now and always feel welcome by friendly helpful staff teams and fellow guests. There’s a great mature friendly vibe. The location is great for jumping off into the city from local rail links and there’s plenty of beautiful walks nearby. The people make the... Show more

Acceptable for an overnight stop
Stayed one night before our onward journey at the beginning of November. The site had everything we needed for one night, but not a site I would stay for a long period of time. There did appear to be many pitches being used for long term residents, again not too concerning... Show more

Very dissapointed
