Crystal Palace Club Campsite

Why stay here ...

We regret to announce that Crystal Palace Club Campsite, one of our oldest Club campsites on the network, closed at the end of 2024. The Club had been operating the campsite for several years on a renewable lease and we were informed that, sadly, it was not going to be extended.

Thank you to everyone who stayed with us at Crystal Palace. We know there is another perfect pitch just waiting for you. To help you find some inspiration, here are some popular alternative Club campsites just a short distance away which we hope you will try:

Abbey Wood Club Campsite (open all year) - 13 miles, 52 minutes by road

Alderstead Heath Club Campsite (14 Mar - 03 Nov 2025) - 12 miles, 47 minutes by road

Gatwick Club Campsite (open all year) - 26 miles, 60 minutes by road

Wyatts Covert Club Campsite (open all year) - 32 miles, 1 hour 30 minutes by road

There are also a number of Certificated Locations in the local area.

The Crystal Palace Club Campsite is ideally placed for visitors who are keen to visit London and all its attractions. The number 3 bus near the caravan park departs regularly and goes into London via Brixton, Lambeth Bridge, Victoria train station and terminates at Whitehall. The bus operates all through the night so late night theatre goers need not worry about returning to site.

As well as London itself, the campsite is ideally situated for annual events such as the Ideal Home Exhibition, the London to Brighton mini run, the London Marathon, the Chelsea Flower show, Wimbledon and of course Christmas and New Year events. Whether you’re camping, touring in a motorhome or towing a caravan, our London campsites are open to all tourers making it a great location from which to explore.

If you need a break from the capital, Crystal Palace is a delightful community in its own right with plenty of pubs, shops and restaurants all within walking distance. The huge park next door still displays the ruins of the iconic Crystal Palace which unfortunately burnt down in 1936. The local museum open at weekends is well worth a visit to see pictures of the Palace as it was. Also within the park are Paxton's dinosaurs surrounding a lovely boating lake, playgrounds, cafe plus a national sports centre complete with a public swimming pool, play area and maze, and it is an ideal venue for cycling and walking. It is possible to cycle into London using route 23 of the National Cycle Network which starts in Dulwich, home to the Picture Gallery.

Please note: this Club campsite is situated within the London Low Emission Zone (LEZ) which means you may need to pay a fee based on your vehicle's emissions, age and weight. The best way to find out is to use the Transport for London Low Emission Zone Checker. To avoid any late payment penalties, it's best to set up an Auto Pay account before you travel and then the appropriate payment is taken automatically when you drive into the zone.
