Why stay here ...
LOW 10% refundable deposit plus FREE cancellations and FREE amendments*
**Updated 03 January 2023** Following further discussions between the London Borough of Bromley Council and the Club, we are pleased to announce that the Council has agreed to grant a longer lease which will potentially enable us to keep the site open for bookings until late 2024 with pitches available 13 months ahead
We know London is a very popular destination and are pleased to enable our members more time to enjoy one of our most popular and historic sites within the Club network for 2024.
The Crystal Palace Club Campsite is ideally placed for visitors who are keen to visit London and all its attractions. The number 3 bus near the caravan park departs regularly and goes into London via Brixton, Lambeth Bridge, Victoria train station and terminates at Whitehall. The bus operates all through the night so late night theatre goers need not worry about returning to site.
As well as London itself, the campsite is ideally situated for annual events such as the Ideal Home Exhibition, the London to Brighton mini run, the London Marathon, the Chelsea Flower show, Wimbledon and of course Christmas and New Year events. Whether you’re camping, touring in a motorhome or towing a caravan, our London campsites are open to all tourers making it a great location from which to explore.
If you need a break from the capital, Crystal Palace is a delightful community in its own right with plenty of pubs, shops and restaurants all within walking distance. The huge park next door still displays the ruins of the iconic Crystal Palace which unfortunately burnt down in 1936. The local museum open at weekends is well worth a visit to see pictures of the Palace as it was. Also within the park are Paxton's dinosaurs surrounding a lovely boating lake, playgrounds, cafe plus a national sports centre complete with a public swimming pool, play area and maze, and it is an ideal venue for cycling and walking. It is possible to cycle into London using route 23 of the National Cycle Network which starts in Dulwich, home to the Picture Gallery.
Please note: this Club campsite is situated within the London Low Emission Zone (LEZ) which means you may need to pay a fee based on your vehicle's emissions, age and weight. The best way to find out is to use the Transport for London Low Emission Zone Checker. To avoid any late payment penalties, it's best to set up an Auto Pay account before you travel and then the appropriate payment is taken automatically when you drive into the zone.
*Book any UK Club campsite with a 10% fully refundable deposit (minimum £20) plus FREE cancellations and FREE amendments up to 21 days before arrival. Applies to any non-promotional booking.

Another visit to Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace Club Campsite
Just had another 4 days at Crystal Palace and will be returning later in the year.
Ideal site for nipping into London, and for us also visiting our daughter. The No.3 bus goes to Victoria, but personally the train is a lot quicker. Staff are very helpful, shower block is starting to show age but due to ongoing lease issue can see why.
Hopefully the lease will be extended again so we can use many more times.
Would recommend although our Motorhome is ULEZ exempt which is a bonus and well worth checking before booking.
Helpful Wardens
Crystal Palace Club Campsite
We just got back from a four night stay and would like to take time to thank the assistant wardens Andy & Claire who gave us a very friendly welcome and took time to answer lots of questions as it was our first time staying here.
The links into London weather by bus or rail were very good, we used both. The Campsite was very clean & tidy and we would recommend it as a base to visit London.
Thanks Tony, South Wales

Perfect for visiting London
Crystal Palace Club Campsite
We used this site for visiting Central London, which is approximately one hour away by public transport. The site is spacious and was relatively quiet when we were there. Remember, you are staying in a city location, so you do hear some traffic, which didn't bother us. Do visit Crystal Palace Park when you are visiting, its a lovely green space, suitable for walks and bike rides.
We will definitely come again.

Great London Stay!
Crystal Palace Club Campsite
We had a lovely 3 night stay at this site, and had a great time. It's ideal for visiting London as there are ample buses not too far away - only 5 to 10 minutes' walk. We changed at Brixton for central London. Despite being very close to the big Crystal Palace mast it's a green and leafy site, and the site is well maintained. As others have written, the shower/toilet block isn't modern but it's extremely clean and well-serviced, which is all that matters. When we were there, new site wardens had just arrived, but they were friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend this site.
Long Weekend in London
Crystal Palace Club Campsite
We stayed at Crystal Palace for a music gig in central London on Friday night and some weekend shopping and sightseeing. The welcome from the staff was friendly and helpful and included a comprehensive briefing on temporary changes to the bus service due to roadworks. The facilities were imaculate as always and the site overall was clean and tidy. We used both bus and trains to get into London both convenient to access from the site with a short walk.
I recommend checking out the shops and cafes in Crystal Palace in the area known as The Triange, if you like carrot cake visit Colairo's in Westow St. for coffee and cake - the best I've had and a generous portion.
I hope the Club can continue to keep this site open because it is an absolute gem.
