Why stay here ...
As the name suggests, Commons Wood Club Site backs onto delightful woodlands and is within reach of several beautiful parks. For those who fancy some excitement and limitless shopping options, the caravan park is only 30 minutes away from central London by a fast and frequent train service into King's Cross. Easy access to the city makes this Hertfordshire caravanning site an ideal base to visit any of London's popular exhibitions held at sites such as Olympia or Kew Gardens.
Commons Wood Club Site offers a wealth of options to keep everyone in the family happy. The lovely Stanborough Park is only about 2 miles away with a playground and crazy golf as well as a gorgeous lake where you can try your hand at boating and fishing. Reed Marsh Reserve - which is incorporated within Stanborough Park- is an ideal spot for bird watching. You can also explore several stately homes within the local area. The closest town to the caravan site is Welwyn Garden City, built soon after the First World War as part of the Ebenezer Howard's Garden City movement and one of the finest examples of modern town planning. Its rich history is evident in such artefacts as a Roman Bath preserved in a steel vault under the nearby A1.

Site in need of some TLC
Site is at this time year peaceful and relaxing. Wardens were very welcoming and helpful, and allowed us to move to pitch not under trees. Not many sites look at their best in Dec, however Commons Wood felt a little tired. The pitches were flat but a few were unkempt. There appeared to be quite a few units, both Caravans and MH’s, that we’re being used by long staying trade residents. The facilities were functional, but my wife on two occasions found toilets had been disrespected by a club member, and left in a filthy condition. As was seeing family, didn’t use any local transport or shops/ sightseeing. TV reception is poor and requires and external aerial cable, WiFi was good though. All in all am not sure I would return in a hurry
First Time on Site but will be back
Stayed from 24th Sept for 6 nights. Upon arrival we were met by the staff who were very welcoming and friendly. Allowed us to have a good look round the site and decide on the pitch we wanted.
The shower and toilet facilities were extremely clean and well maintained. Plenty service points around the site. Along with ground maintenance.
My only grip which is a difficult one to sort is that the hard stand pitches live up to their name with amount of ground pegs bent.
Would certainly return
First time at this site.
We stayed at this site from August the 18 th for 3 nights. After we booked we read the reviews and was unsure of what to expect here. Upon arrival I was met by a very nice warden who explained all I wanted to know. This site is very well laid out brilliantly clean toilet and showering facilities. The whole park is well maintained and clean. I found that both wardens were very helpful towards us. We’ll definitely be booking again at this site.
Pre Holiday Pitch
We store our van at Commons Wood & usually put it on a pitch before a holiday elsewhere. It's very well managed with a good site team.
Convenient location
My wife and I have been using the site for the last 10 years, to visit our family who live nearby.
It is well laid out and there are plently of water etc. points aroung the site.
The wardens are always helpful whne I have needed them
We have a non awning pitch which is hard standing, i.e. gravel and suits us whatever the weather
There are various places to visit locally inc Harfield House for the house and /or the children's play area,
It is close to the A1 by the A414 junction sp easy to get to.
