This is our local camp site and we have been there a few times - it is our site of choice for testing new tents!
It is a small, friendly site with a play area, shop and nice heated toilet and shower block next to the tent field. Friends have hired the wooden pods and said they were comfy.
Children always have fun as site is small enough that you can keep an eye on them whilst they roam about.
Nice walks from site along the reservoir to the canal where you may be lucky to spot a boat by the lock.
Couple of good, family friend pubs near by.
Downside is the nearby helicopter and traffic noise but for a break with friends at start and end of the season we love it.
Things to do
Take a trip around Lee Valley Park - hire a bike, walk around the canal and admire the swans on the many lakes, take advantage of the tea huts and pubs along the way.
Visit the White Water Centre the venue for the 2012 Olympics.
Visit the Royal Gunpowder Mills and Waltham Abbey. |

Your local campsite looks wonderful, looks like there's a lot to do around there as well?
ReplyDeleteWe are still finding about sites near us, we're venturing a bit further afield in 2 weeks time to visit one in Nottinghamshire, the downside to having a very old bus is that you don't get there very quickly and the mpg fuel economy is far less than tenting with a car... last time we did a long journey it was a bit of a nightmare for a variety of reasons but this is our first time out again on a longer journey (we've been keeping very local) and we're hoping it will give us a sense of how far we can easily go in a weekend without it being a struggle!

Your bus buy sounds brilliant. There's quite a lot to do round here. We are lucky in that whilst we're close to London we have 2 very lack campsites for tent testing and camping with groups of friends. My reason for this blog is I'm a bit of a camping geek and my kids are a bit fed up of listening to me!
