Great place went there with my two little dogs recently very friendly will definitely go back I had a lovely time
Excellent value
Booked site via phone a couple of weeks before. Turned up to this lovely flattish site, surrounded by fields and horse paddocks. The friendly owner turned up a few minutes after our arrival, told us about the footpath from the campsite to the public footpath. A little distant road noise from the A41, but it didn't keep us awake even though we had our windows open. We're with O2 and had very good 4g. Very good value, well maintained and would certainly visit again as I have relations in Tring.
Perfect location.
This beautiful CL is lovingly maintained by the very friendly and knowledgeable owner, who took the time to explain all the local interesting walks to be found right from the site, including the ridgeway path,Tring park and a walk into Tring itself where we visited the natural history museum.
The village of Wiggington is picturesque with a great pub (The greyhound) and a lovely community shop which served coffee and cake !
The site is secluded along a well maintained driveway and has all you need for a peaceful and very enjoyable stay.
We will definitely return.

Great off grid site
We chose this site due to its close proximity to RAF Halton so would’ve stayed whether it had EHU or not. We were so pleased when we turned up, we did miss the entrance gate but could easily turn round in an 8m motorhome. The site is in a lovely green field down an access road but there wouldn’t be much traffic noise anyway. The field is well kept & a good size for a CL with so many walks directly from the site. The owner is very friendly & knowledgable about the local area & visited the site every day. The local pub was just 5 minutes walk and we enjoyed a lovely meal there. We only stayed 2 nights but will definitely return. Great value for money at only £7 a night.
Lovely site
Stayed in late August 2019. Site entrance easy to miss, gate in hedge.
I hadn't been able to locate the site on google maps, probably as its down a green lane, which google doesn't recognise, I've since added it to google to help fellow travellers.
Green field site with a lot of space, but people all head to the sunny side of the field. lots of blackberries in the hedgerow whilst we were there. There is access to the Ridgeway path by following the track to the right of the horse field, lovely views and open countryside.
Via the small park opposite Balmers entrance you can get to the pub, an amazing play park or village community shop by going straight on. If you follow the path to the right and head past the school you come into Tring Park, there's a great scenic walk over to Tring (about 20 minutes), there are steep sections and a spiral stepped motorway bridge. Once on the other side there is the Natural History overflow museum, entry is free and our granddaughter loved it.
At Great Missenden 10 miles away is the Roadl Dahl Museum and Story Centre another great day out.
30 minutes away is Warner Brothers Harry Potter tour, this must be pre booked, especially during school holidays.

Excellent simple CL
Simple site on edge of village with good pub (5 mins walk). Site has water and black waste dump but no electric hook-up. Grass pitches in well maintained field - some shade available. Location is peaceful although is a little aircraft noise (hard to escape in south east England) but certainly not intrusive. Decent value at £7 per night (May 19). Excellent cycling in the area.

A nice basic CL
4th visit here stayed 2 nights in our new Motorhome, had the place to ourselves
Stunning weather , for those like us who like back to basics it's perfect .
The owner is friendly , we would recommend gladly .
A lovely CL.
Very neat and tidy site. Some aircraft noise as under a flight path but not intrusive and doesn't detract from the fact that this is a lovely place to spend a break. Access to the Ridgeway national trail is close by and this area of the Chilterns is a walkers paradise.
Little Gem
Just back from a peaceful 8 night stay at this lovely cl. We searched the club website for a basic cl near Aylesbury (we prefer the quieter basic sites) and after reading the online reviews, we decided to go for this one. We were not disappointed. Everything was exactly as described in the earlier reviews. The owner was very welcoming and pleasantly chatted about the many local places of interest. The main reason for our visit was a concert at the lovely Waterside theatre in Aylesbury. We had originally planned an overnight stay in Aylesbury but due to hubby spraining his ankle, we decided to take the van and stay for longer. So glad we did as hubby's ankle nearly better now (and he managed to sit still long enough to finish reading one of his books). Needless to say, we were a bit restricted this time in getting out and about but we will definitely be back, next time with bikes and walking boots. A lovely well kept site and still only £6 a night!

Great CL
Delilah the motor home plus two stayed here for 3 nights in June 2016. This is a lovely well-kept site, set well back from the road so you don’t hear any traffic. When we arrived the grass had recently been mowed so although it rained our feet didn’t get too wet. The waste and recycling section is screened off near the entrance and there are two water points, one near the field entrance and one across the other side of the field. We used our levelling blocks but it wouldn’t have been too much of a problem without. Tom, the owner, arrived the following morning to welcome us and to collect the £6 per night. He helpfully chatted to us about local places of interest and then left us alone.
We cycled everywhere, round the villages the first day and the next day into Tring to visit the Natural History Museum which we thoroughly enjoyed. A Tesco superstore was only a couple of miles down the road. If you like walking the Ridgeway National Trail passes adjacent to the site and Tring Park, with the obelisk and fantastic views is just opposite the site. The only thing to bear in mind for cycling is the hill up to the site from all directions. It didn’t bother us as we have electric bikes.
The TV reception was good as was the O2 phone signal.
Overall excellent value and a great CL.
