We used this site for the first time as a 3 night stopover on our way home from the south coast. We have previously used Wyatts Covert (many times) and Ashridge. We were greeted with the words "as you're early you'll be able to have a hardstanding as most arrivals today will have to be put on grass". Arrival time at this site is 12 noon and we arrived after this time having planned our journey accordingly. We hoped this was the warden trying to be funny so we gave him the benefit of the doubt but a more friendly welcome would have been appreciated. However, this was one of the most disappointing sites of the very many we have visited on the Club's network. As previously stated in other reviews the shower pressure was very poor, many hardstandings were covered in weeds and there was a general feeling that things were not up to usual CC standards. The noise on the site was virtually constant - traffic and aircraft were expected being close to London but tractors and grass mowing all added to the general clamour. This was exacerbated by one warden using a leafblower which put leaves into piles for the wind to then blow them about again - a complete waste of time !! Early mornings were also disturbed due to people going off to work, obviously using the site for this purpose. We also had people cutting through our pitch walking very close to our caravan so they could save themselves a few yards walking to the facility block - we were the end pitch right by the roadway! Although probably a great location for visiting London this is not a site we will be rushing to return to.

We have just returned from Commons wood site. We were visiting family nearby. Friendly and helpful welcome on arrival. Security barrier with fob provided. The site is adjacent to a large hospital but once on site this is not a problem. On the other side is a golf club where an outdoor celebration was taking place but this ended at around 10pm. We are used to peace and quiet so the noise of overhead aircraft was noticeable for us ( Luton airport). Of course when you weigh this up against the fact that this site is within close proximity of the capital and has all the other good aspects and facilities that you would expect from the Caravan club then don't be put off. I would definitely return to use for a purpose as in a visit to family or the capital city. The site has a large caravan storage area which may be relevant to your situation. Overall the site surved our purpose and we enjoyed our stay.
