late arrival with broken van

We stayed over Easter BH here & arrived 4 hours late with a broken van in the dark & the wardens were absolutely fabulous. They were out with miners torches assisting the driver unloading the van off a lorry, & got us on our pitch within half hour. Really supportive & understanding, for which we were extremely grateful. Many many thanks. Houston's, Trowbridge.

Great location

This is a perfect location for visiting London. The proximity of public transport services makes it easy to go in and out of London and this greatly enhanced our stay; it's always good to be able to leave the car behind. Considering location, it was relatively peaceful - the actual site is in a 'dip' which means noise levels are reasonable - we weren't troubled at all. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend it for a trip to London and will likely visit again. Thank you.

GREAT LOCATION BUT POOR FACILITIES AND OVER PRICED

The Crystal Palace site is in a brilliant location for visiting London and the surrounding area but that is it. We paid £31.70 a night for two people over the Bank Holiday and what do we get. No choice of pitches. Out of date facilities although the wardens do a fantastic job they cannot compensate for such basic facilities. There are too many internal trees which restrict satellite TV reception and Wi-Fi is very erratic - we have paid for a service which we don't get. We have visited this site dozens of times and this is the first time we have been allocated a pitch which suited our needs. We have already booked for two weeks time to attend a local event but we wont be visiting again and depending on what response I get when writing to Head Office I am seriously considering resigning from the Club.

Disappointed

I sincerely hope that this site is due for refurbishment as the facilities are far below the standard we are accustomed to from club sites. I also felt the standard of cleaning was not as high as other sites. The site benefits from its easy links into London but the journey to get to it was not easy. We will not be returning

Great to visit London

Location is great for visiting london. Overland Train station is a 15 min walk through the park. The bus station is 10 mins walk. The bus stop for the No.3 bus to Westminster and central London is just out side the campsite. The No. 122 bus goes to Lewisham and the DLR. The campsite gives all the standard requirements with very helpful staff. Crystal Palace Park is a 5 min.walk includes a swimming pool.

An excellent base for London

We have been to Crystal Palace campsite before and would use it again. Not an ideal journey to reach the site from the southwest, but once there we were able to park up (lots of space around the motorhome) and enjoy what London has to offer. Plenty of travel options to get in to London (bus and train). I thought that the travel advice provided by the campsite was brilliant. They had files full of slips of paper with detailed instructions on how to get to a number of places of interest, in London, closer to home and also sporting venues, particularly useful to us as we were heading to Twickenham on one day. Getting back from Royal Albert Hall was a doddle with their info. Don't miss the Crystal Palace Museum (only open on Sundays) or a wander around the park (the dinosaurs are fun for all ages). There are loads of restaurants within walking distance. So much to do in London I'm sure it won't be long before we visit again.

Fantastic site for visiting London

We visited the site for four nights in the Easter holidays. This site allocates the pitch for you and I have to say, the wardens there took great effort in looking at our booking and accommodating the size and age of our family, making sure the pitch size was big enough and located near the toilet blocks. There are no play facilities, but that was not necessary as we planned full days out each day. Getting into London, we found that it was quicker getting the number 3 bus to st marks, then get the underground at oval station. Waterloo station gave access to the London eye, sea life, Shrek adventure, London dungeon. Baker Street station for Madame tussaudes and South Kensington station for the natural history museum. Unfortunately, we use sat nav to get part way there, however, this took us through a congestion charge area. We were unaware that this must be paid online by midnight the following day so we are waiting for a penalty notice to come through the door, making the £10 charge a £64 charge if you pay it within 14days! The site is absolutely fantastic though, surrounded by trees and a park behind. I would definitely visit again, we were extremely sad to move on.

Great

Very, very friendly staff, quite a lot of traffic noise, but what would you expect in London, didn't stop me having a great time of a good night sleep. Great location for traveling in to London. Second time of stopping would definitely stop again.

First trip in our motor home. Found the staff very friendly, site was well maintained and clean as well as quiet. Crystal Palace itself is worth seeing and travel to central London was easy.
