Inexpensive London stay

Lovely site for visiting London. Lots of transport options, bus and train into central London. The number 3 bus which goes from nearby goes to Victoria. Once there buses are available to the popular destinations in central London etc. Having OAP bus passes meant that we travelled free. The site is in the ULEZ, which meant paying £12.50 for each driving day; two in our case, in and out, but still more than worth it. The site staff were friendly and helpful. Despite being near a busy road, the noise wasn't intrusive as thesite is well shielded. Nice restaurants and eateries down the road in Crystal Palace are a bonus. Hope to stay here again, if it isn't taken back by the local council.

June 2024 Good site, but...

Came here for a second time for two nights to visit family in London. The site has good transport links to Central London. Wardens were kind and helpful, but the site looked a little tired. Weeds are growing on the pitches and the hedges weren't as neatly trimmed as I remember from last time. Did not use the facilities on site. Overall a pleasant stay, immediately on the park, so walking and cycling nearby. Also discovered Crystal Palace village, about a 10-15 minute walk away, with lovely shops and restaurants and a big Sainsbury supermarket.

May 30th 2024 - 4 night stay

Stayed here with caravan for 4 nights from May 30th. Very welcoming Wardens. Lovely tree lined campsite adjacent to Crystal Palace Park. Horniman Museum a short bus ride away. Had a great meal at the Rocca Di Papa Restaurant in Dulwich Village another short number 3 bus ride away.Toilet fittings a bit "tired", but showers hot and plentiful. Unsurprisingly, TV reception excellent as quite near to mast which is obscured nicely by tree cover. Very quiet and peaceful throughout our stay. Altogether, a great site close to the Capital.

Another visit to Crystal Palace

Just had another 4 days at Crystal Palace and will be returning later in the year. Ideal site for nipping into London, and for us also visiting our daughter. The No.3 bus goes to Victoria, but personally the train is a lot quicker. Staff are very helpful, shower block is starting to show age but due to ongoing lease issue can see why. Hopefully the lease will be extended again so we can use many more times. Would recommend although our Motorhome is ULEZ exempt which is a bonus and well worth checking before booking.

Helpful Wardens

We just got back from a four night stay and would like to take time to thank the assistant wardens Andy & Claire who gave us a very friendly welcome and took time to answer lots of questions as it was our first time staying here. The links into London weather by bus or rail were very good, we used both. The Campsite was very clean & tidy and we would recommend it as a base to visit London. Thanks Tony, South Wales

Perfect for visiting London

We used this site for visiting Central London, which is approximately one hour away by public transport. The site is spacious and was relatively quiet when we were there. Remember, you are staying in a city location, so you do hear some traffic, which didn't bother us. Do visit Crystal Palace Park when you are visiting, its a lovely green space, suitable for walks and bike rides. We will definitely come again.

Great London Stay!

We had a lovely 3 night stay at this site, and had a great time. It's ideal for visiting London as there are ample buses not too far away - only 5 to 10 minutes' walk. We changed at Brixton for central London. Despite being very close to the big Crystal Palace mast it's a green and leafy site, and the site is well maintained. As others have written, the shower/toilet block isn't modern but it's extremely clean and well-serviced, which is all that matters. When we were there, new site wardens had just arrived, but they were friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend this site.

Long Weekend in London

We stayed at Crystal Palace for a music gig in central London on Friday night and some weekend shopping and sightseeing. The welcome from the staff was friendly and helpful and included a comprehensive briefing on temporary changes to the bus service due to roadworks. The facilities were imaculate as always and the site overall was clean and tidy. We used both bus and trains to get into London both convenient to access from the site with a short walk. I recommend checking out the shops and cafes in Crystal Palace in the area known as The Triange, if you like carrot cake visit Colairo's in Westow St. for coffee and cake - the best I've had and a generous portion. I hope the Club can continue to keep this site open because it is an absolute gem.

Great site for London

Stayed last month - it's a great site and perfect for visiting London. Unfortunately Transport for London fined us as Google maps sent us off the South Circular into the ULEZ for 2 mins at Clapham and appeal unsuccessful .... so we'll be saving up before we come again! The ULEZ zone has now been extended but we all want cleaner air and we have no issue with that. It was still a great place to stay - would recommend.

Good base for visiting London -BUT!

On arrival, after a difficult journey we were allocated a pitch which is fine. On trying to get the caravan into its correct position our Motor mover wouldn't work. So for nearly an extremely stressful hour of not really knowing what to do(the van was stuck in the middle of the access road to the pitches), I could see a warden gardening close by so I went to tell him our predicament -I don't know how he didn't notice us struggling. He immediately said, oh it's because of the tower- there was a BBC communications tower right next to the site-he said it can affect the remote control on the movers. So why on earth were we not forwarned of the when checking in?? After the extremely stressful journey, and then this, we were ready for heading off thinking the mover was broken. Luckily there was nothing pitched opposite so we managed to reverse the van to the pitch with the car. Had there been something there we would not have been able to do it. On reading the site information after , it mentions motor movers could be affected by the tower, but who reads that before getting pitched up? This is an extremely serious communication failure and should be addressed. ALL visitors should be advised on checking in and it should be noted on the site information big and bold! Besides all of this, it is a good base for visiting London.
