So convenient for seeing London’s sights.

The site itself is perfectly located, far enough away from the busy city centre but easy to travel to and fro by rail or bus. On arrival we received a warm and friendly welcome and this set the tone for the two weeks we were there. The staff could not be more hardworking, helpful and friendly-they really are an asset to the site. The facilities are a little tired but understandable when the future of the site has been so uncertain. However the staff kept them clean and well stocked. My only wish would be for the pitches to all have a grassed area for the awning and for seating. All in all, a quiet and well run site in a really convenient location. We would happily stay again.

Nice site but hardstanding pitches NOT suitable to put an awning up on !

Had a pleasant stay . Quiet site. The only problem we had was we were on a hardstanding pitch and it was impossible to erect an awning. You cannot drive the tent pegs in at all !

Easy to explore area

We had a lovely week at Crystal Palace, it is so easy to get into London. The number 3 bus stop is a few minutes from the site entrance, this takes you to Whitehall/Horse Guards, once there it is easy to visit any part of London. Also if you are lucky you can travel on London buses for free by using your bus pass. To use the tube get off the bus at Brixton. We didn't spend much time on the site itself so can't comment on much about the site. From the site you can walk through Crystal Palace park and walk into Crystal Palace town. We didn't move our car from when we arrived to when we left, apart from a quick visit to the petrol station to fill up with fuel. The only thing we feel should be addressed is that we were told the site entrance was in the Low Congestion area,, we registered with the Low Emissions zone but at no point did we receive any charges, which was most welcome All in all a lovely visit, one that we shall certainly do again

Easter break

Just home from a fantastic week at Crystal palace club site. Brilliant site with good facilities on either hard standing or grass. Site is well maintained and the site wardens are very pleasant and helpful. £3.30 return busfare into London well worth it all though each passenger has to have their own card to pay with.. nice to see the site managers potting plants ready for the hanging baskets. Looking forward to seeing them blooming in the summer.

Great location, we'll be back if it's still open!

With friends and family living only 3 miles away this has been a great place for us to stay while visiting them on a number of occasions in the last couple of years. Transport links are great and there are lots of opportunities for cycling - loads of cycle paths. The site itself is on a number of terraces, surrounded by trees which makes up for the lack of grass. Birdsong is actually louder than any traffic noise - what a delight in central London! The facilities aren't the most modern but absolutely fine and as clean as on any other site - clearly there's no point in the Club spending to upgrade anything while the lease is under threat. What a shame it will be to lose this site, with no others so close to the centre of London. Site staff have always been friendly and helpful. All in all a great find and one we'll use again for as long as we can.

Good site, great location and friendly staff

We have just returned home after an enjoyable 5 nights on this site. Excellent location for central London and surrounding areas, with very good bus service. The Wardens were very helpful - nothing was too much trouble for them. Clean and well kept site. We would definitely book again and hope it will be open for the foreseeable future.

Friendly staff and clean site

This was the first club site we had ever stayed at so we really appreciated the lovely warm welcome we received from the lady on arrival (unfortunately I cannot remember her name!). She explained everything we needed to know which was great. The toilets / showers were really clean and the overall site felt clean e.g. no rubbish laying around etc. We ordered local takeaway to be delivered to the entrance which was really delicious, we didn't go out much in the local area as we were just stopping by quickly en route to somewhere else so I can't comment too much on the local area but obviously it's a great location for travelling round attractions in London.

Great site for visiting relatives in south London. We have been a few times before and it seems to be on borrowed time. THis time we heard that its future is secure up until Sep 2022 but the future after that appears unclear. If it goes it will be a big loss to the network of sites. My only gripe is that the wardens were cleaning the facilities at 10.30 am on a Sunday morning, precisely when many campers were getting up after a night out in our great capital city. I think it would make more sense to do the cleaning in the afternoon. Other than that, the site is almost perfect.

Nice, traditional site

We've just spent 3 weeks on this site, visiting our first grandchild at our daughter and son-in-laws flat, in nearby Streatham. The site was perfect for us, clean and tidy (despite the closure notice hanging over it) and the wardens were fantastic - helpful from our initial phonecall enquiry, through to when we left. They do a great job and deserve recognition for their efforts. This time of year, particularly on a wooded, damp site, does bring challenges, with the toilet block in particular, suffering from the occasional inconsiderate member, who doesn't make any effort to keep the place clean and, I guess, that this isn't helped by the seemingly stupid decission from the Club to still prohibit the use of shower curtains, that do help to prevent the flooded floors we often experienced. It would also be good to have the useful stools back that we think so necessary in this old style shower block. Whilst staying there, we did travel around both town areas extensively and visited a couple of English Heritage sites, using the local buses, we also did a 50 mile, round trip, bike ride down to the North Downs. I do have to say that, with so many people living in such close proximity and with many happy to produce and dump, hige amounts of rubbish, the area is very scruffy and we were very happy to come home to our lovely Shropshire. That said, the Crystal Palace site is very well located and we do hope that it continues to operate for many more years.

Great place to stay

I recently stayed here, having visited last year. It is brilliant The reception team are polite, helpful, full of good humour and go the extra mile to accommodate requests The site is quiet, litter free, very well maintained, has green areas and is surrounded by trees. The pitches are of a good size. The toilet and shower block is really clean, well looked after with great water pressure and lovely hot water and the facilities for grey and chemical waste as well as fresh water are easily .accessible To be so close to all that London has to offer, but have a quiet, green space to return to, is brilliant.
