Convenient & clean but some real issues

We booked the site as a two way stop over whilst collecting our new van as the access fro the M25 is excellent. Be warned as other have mentioned the issue of taking the Tilehouse Lane access. DO NOT DO THIS! We managed to get away with it and met no traffic coming the other way. It is single lane only with few passing spaces. The airfield does generate significant noise. The coming and going of the helicopters is the worst offender. The other significant issue is the use of the site by business workers staying over in the week. If they are members then this is ok on one level but their coming and going at really unsicial hours is just not on. I thought the rules were no noise between 11pm and 7am in the morning! This is just not the case as people were up and off between 5.30 and 7.00am which is really unsociable. I can totally understand why people uase their vans and do this if working in London but it totally ruins the site for others who are on a vacation of some sort and do not want to rise that early. Perhaps all the work vehicles should be kept outside the site perimiter in the visitor area or these members be zoned in some way as then they only disturb themselves. It does need resolving though!

This is not like a normal club site.

I went to the site with an open mind, having read other negative reviews. I am not one to be influenced by other opinions. I had difficulty in booking the appropriate pitch and saw straight away something was just not right with the site on arrival. There were several business type vehicles such as vans and pickups which were being used by workers. Not that there is anything wrong with this but from 0645am on my first morning until just after 8am at least 8 of these vehicles left with the associated unsocial banging of doors and revving of engines. These residents returned at the end of the working day. As there are only 50 pitches on site that meant almost one fifth of the pitches were being used for business and not leisure which is what would you might expect from a club site. The weather during my stay was quite reasonable which meant the nearby airfield was very active with helicopter training traffic. I personally do not mind aircraft noise as I am a pilot, but I did not expect to have my van filled with the smell of jet A1 exhaust from a large commercial Dauphin helicopter that was doing engine runs after maintenance for more than an hour. That is how close the airfield is.The site itself is well maintained and the wardens are doing an excellent job of keeping it clean. I cannot recommend this site due to the noise aspect. This is not your usual cub site. It is obvious it is being use as alternative accommodation for workers in and around London during the week.

Very handy

I chose this site as I wanted to visit London and was on my own so didn't fancy trying to navigate to the other London sites. Very easy access from M25 but do as the book says and do not take first turn into Tilehouse Lane . If you follow directions in book no problems . As expected friendly warden who gave me good advice about getting into London and gave me timetables etc. Half hour walk from site to train station but beware,when you have walked round London all day the walk back to site is uphill. Plenty of parking near station or on station car park (free for blue badge holders ). Bit of aircraft noise but not offensive . Shops in Denham provide essential supplies . Really good Indian restaurant . Overall a lovly site ideal for London visits

Excellent site for London

We chose this site for its easy access from the West and it's proximity to London. Aircraft noise was not a problem as we were in London for most of the days we were there. Very convenient to Denham Station (5 mins by car) and plenty of parking space at station. 25 mins to Marylebone. We followed satnav instructions and used the narrow road. Not a problem but we got a friendly admonishment from the site reception staff for using the wrong route! Moral: Follow the site owners instructions! Good site, well cared for and excellent facilities.

. recent break

We went to this site for a short break in January 2017, the facilities and friendly staff were excellent. The only downside to our trip was the new Caravan Club/ Garmin satnav which took us the wrong way in and we ended up on a very dangerous narrow lane full of pot holes. Make sure of your route before you go. This satnav has twice been wrong when using the club site index.

Cracking site

Just to clarify, the marks given for each category, I don't feel I can review for families as I don't have kids and it was January hence middle marks I've given it. it is a very quiet site apart from being opposite Denham airfield. I'm afraid you'll either love it or loathe it, but we loved it and were happy to put up with the associated noise during helicopter flying lessons and Cessna coming in to land, but may not be everyone's thing. Site is spotless, shower black immaculate and two of the friendliest wardens we've met, and the relief wardens were great too. We found this site perfect for visiting Harry Potter World, an easy 15 min drive away. Denham railway station is a good 25 min walk or 10 min drive, with many trains straight into Marylebone, takes about 20 mins. One day travel card was about £14 off peak Gerard's Cross has lovely independent Everyman cinema, large Tesco, M&S food and smaller Waitrose. Lovely cafe called Grocer and another called Jungs. Our friends live nearby and swear by the Swan pub In Denham village, more on the pricy side. Also worth a visit is Old Amersham and Beaconsfield for a pootle round , a spot of lunch or coffee and buns. If the weather picks up there is a lovely walks or linear cycle ride along the Grand Union Canal. We really enjoyed it here and will be back to explore more of the countryside.

some people

We found this site ideal as we were visiting friends and family for the weekend.  We were there for 3 nights and it was bitterly cold weather.  I mention this as on our last night we went to bed, toasty warm but, in the small hours woke up really cold. No power in the van, therefore no overnight heating. I'd assumed a power cut. Once light I discovered a van behind us had pulled out our cable, plugged in his own and chucked ours on the grass, it was minus 2 degrees that night. Why he did that I've no idea as he wouldn't open his door but so talked to the site managers,  who were stunned by this and couldn't be more helpful. I still can't get over how selfish and inconsiderate some people can be, especially as a power post had plenty of spare sockets even closer to him than where ours was connected was available.  I cannot conceive of a circumstance where I'd behave so appallingly on a site.

Great site to strike out from

Stayed for a few nights over half-term, usual high standard of facilities for a Club site kept clean and well-maintained by the friendly and helpful wardens. Don't be fooled by the bus-stop just inside the site - only about 3 buses a day and the earliest isn't until after 10am. The railway station is only about a 25 minutes walk, and there are 2 trains an hour into and out of central London (which in fairness is why we chose this site). Only a few of the pitches are wide enough for awnings, but don't leave your shoes/Crocs loose in the awning overnight - the foxes take them!  I'd echo previous comments, the proximety to the aerodrome is great for plane spotting (kept the kids happy) during the day but the take-offs & landings end soon after 5/6pm so not that intrusive.  No play area.

Half Term Holiday

We have been to this site a number of times and love it. Its not huge and there is no facilities for children to play but hey - we weren't here for that. We chose this site because of its proximity to getting into London. It is conveniently placed for Denham station and a weeks car parking costs about £22. We went into London every day on this visit - leaving at 9:55 and not getting back until after 10pm. Long days but train routes were reliable. Site is kept very clean and it was nice that the users didn't foul the place up (last time at Crystal Palace was awful and full marks to the team there as they had their work cut out). We found low noise with not much air traffic from the nearby Denham Aerodrome. Site team were friendly. Its  a bargain to stay here and it is also a great location for other places nearby. A+
