Advantages
Quiet location, very large pitch with waste water connection
Negatives
Showers not usable, even when they work hardly any water comes out
Good for visiting London, not for vacation
We were at the campsite for a visit to London and booked a pitch with electricity/water/waste water. The pitches are nice and large and the awning area is laid out with gravel. Waste is separated and there is a small store at the registration desk. The bus to London stops right outside the site. The... showers didn't work 90% of the time, everything else did. Cleanliness of the sanitary facilities was good. The site is just before the low emission zone.

Advantages
Public transport connections for visits to London.
Negatives
Bus from CP only from May
Good starting point for London
with good public transport connections. Bus directly from CP only from May, alternatively drive by car to the train station (weekend parking free), but note LEZ. Very friendly staff, clean and normal standard sanitary facilities. Rental cabins recommended as an alternative to tents, but not cheap.

Advantages
Great for visits to London!
Nice place especially suitable for London tours. Sanitary simple, but very clean. Friendly staff. Bus does not run to the site until May, until then you have to walk about 20 minutes, but is not a real problem, connection to London impeccable.

Beautifully located site with its own bus stop. You can be in the center of London in an hour by bus and underground. Idyllic tent pitches, some with electricity. Basic sanitary facilities, but very clean. Overnight stay somewhat expensive, e.g. one person with a tent (without electricity) the equivalent of almost 25 euros.

Advantages
The pitches are very large, surrounded by greenery - an ideal starting point for London.
Negatives
When there is a youth group, it can be noisy - the sanitary facilities are outdated.
Ideal starting point for London
Very large pitches and if there isn't a youth group there, also in a quiet location. Ideal starting point for exploring London. A day ticket for the subway - and you are relatively cheaply mobile all day long. Stayed at the site in 2009, 2010 and 2011 - improved from year to year.

Well located for a sightseeing tour of London. However, the sanitary facilities are not particularly good. It smells slightly musty. You can get from the site to the Underground by bus, the bus stop is at the campsite itself. And then everywhere you want to go. However, the journey to the city center takes a good 45 minutes.

Very practical location for trips to London. The number 215 bus stops and starts directly at the campsite and you can easily get to the subway station "Walthamstow Central" (approx. 30 min journey time) and from there into the city. Day tickets, which are valid for all buses and subway trains, are available... at the reception of the square, with 2 adults and 2 children we always paid around 20 pounds. The crowd on the site is very international, during the day it is deserted, in the evening all the visitors to London come back. The sanitary facilities are actually quite tidy and are cleaned once a day. Unfortunately, this is a bit too little and therefore they were very often dirty and I was personally annoyed by the push-buttons on the taps, which didn't run for a second (i.e. one hand must always be on the push-button, otherwise there is no water). The people at reception were very nice and helpful, there was a small store with fresh bread and basic groceries at reasonable prices. We also used the washing machines and dryer (3 + 2 pounds).

At the beginning of our two-week vacation in England, we spent a few days in London. The campsite is a little further out of the city, but is well connected to the public transport network. Unfortunately, the bus to the Underground station doesn't leave directly from the campsite until May, so we drove... to the Underground by car. It was only about 7 km, so much quicker than by bus. The Underground takes you into the city center in about 15 minutes. The campsite is well maintained and very quiet. The pitches are partly asphalted and partly gravel. There are therefore only a limited number of pitches available for non-English campers. It is therefore advisable to make a reservation. As is apparently common in England, there are no mixing cranes at the washbasins, only separate cold and hot water cranes. The staff were absolutely friendly and helpful. At the end of our trip to England we stayed at the campsite again for one night and had to report exactly where we had been, what we had seen, what the weather was like, and so on. If we come to England again, we will certainly stop here again.

It was our first trip to England. We took the ferry from Calais to Dover and then took the highway from Dover to the campsite - and we were glad we had a satnav with us so we didn't get lost on the highway. From the highway down it was only a few ridiculous kilometers and the campsite is easy to find... (please drive in right at the Lee Valley Campsite sign - if you come from the highway, you can easily drive past it - turn left - sign on the right side in a bend). The owners were super nice, showers, electricity etc. are included in the price - which is not a matter of course. The connection to London is really great, right in front of the campsite, it couldn't be better - day tickets (6.30) can be bought directly at the campsite (children up to 11 (?) are free - don't need a ticket. As our Dover-Calais ferry didn't leave until 9pm on our last day, but we had to vacate the pitch at 1pm, we asked if we could park somewhere until 6 or 7pm - and the owners gave us another pitch free of charge until 7pm, so that we could drive into London on the last day - really SUPER nice of the owners, I don't think that's a matter of course (we wanted to tip the owners for this, but they thankfully refused, they didn't want to accept it). We will definitely go there again! Tip: It's best to pre-book online in the high season to make sure you get a place.

First time on this site, but definitely not the last. Very friendly and helpful staff - the sanitary facilities are small, but extremely clean and well maintained. The location is ideal for a trip to London - there is a bus station on site. Congratulations to the operator.
