Nice site for London

First time at this site and although apprehensive about towing in Greater London, it all went smoothly. We planned the route carefully using the site directions, sat nav and traditional road map and used the premise that if its wide enough for the bus, we can go in the caravan! From the west, the south circular is a good road. The site itself was as expected, clean, well laid out and the temporary wardens covering the time we were there were helpful and kind. The shower block was nice and warm. It takes an hour to get into London but get upstairs on the bus and you see the sights! If you have chip and pin, it works well and saves you trying to get an Oyster Card. I used my credit card chip and pin as I get extra peace of mind with that. Don't forget that Crystal Palace community is worth a visit. There are some good restaurants and shops and we enjoyed a splendid meal in the small Italian restaurant (Lorenzo) as well as a good lunch in a cafe (Little Palace), both on Westow Hill. All in all, we are very satisfied with this site and hope to return again if we can find space.

Crystal Palace for the first time

Stayed at Crystal Palace for the first time from 27th December till 2nd January 2016. It was a really enjoyable stay, and about a 40 minute journey on the number 3 bus from outside the site into London, we usually got off at Trafalgar Square. The warden's were brilliant, due to a disability issue they were able to move us to a more suitable pitch. Their help was very much appreciated. We took our 3 dogs with us and they enjoyed.

Always a cracker of a site

We have family in London, so we regularly use this site.  The wardens are always friendly and helpful.  The facilities are always very clean and during the winter nice and warm. We would recommend this site to anyone visiting London. If you intend to go sightseeing buy your Oyster cards online before you leave home, just means you can get to the sights quicker.

A warm Christmas welcome

Having stayed at this excellent site on several occasions we already knew what to expect. Arriving on Christmas Eve however we were greeted with the usual friendly wardens and the added hospitality of wine and snacks in reception. It was a wonderful start to our Christmas break and I would recommend the site to anyone wishing to stay near London.

Ideal for sightseeing in london

This site is ideal for visiting London just a short walk to the bus stop no 3 to Piccadilly cost £1.50 but buses do not take cash so you need an Oyster card or use you bank card touch pay.  The site is up to the usual standard of the CC. Very nice and helpful wardens  We went our with friends for a meal at Joanna's restaurant in crystal palace highly recommend the food and service on our return our friends park in the entrance we sat there chatting and the warden came out to see who it was, so we had a good feeling about security on the site as most people are out all day and evening leaving their vans so well done warden. Booked already for Christmas shopping next year 2016.

Stayed for two nights .

This time we came here to visit family for a 91 st birthday party . It was held in a pub in nearby Streatham which was a forty minute walk away . It was also an option to get a bus there which was what we did on our return . We believe that this site is often used by people like us who have lived in London and return to visit relatives . We were also able to catch up on our hobby of Geocaching . This time we made use of our cycles and rode to Clapham Common . Once again the wardens were very welcoming and we had a suitable plot for our motorbike . We will be back soon x

Very convenient for a London visit

We live in France and stayed in our motorhome for two nights in mid-December, on a visit to see family. the site itself is very well laid out, and is next door to Crystal Palace Park. I imagine it would look absolutely beautiful in the summer months, and even in winter the trees and shrubs were very pretty, even if not at their best. The showers, toilets and laundry facilities were all excellent, and the pitch, although not precisely level, was very well situated. The site is ideal for a London visit, with several bus-routes on Crystal Palace Parade to visit all parts of south and central London. We were very satisfied with our choice and will definitely stay there again on our next visit to London.

Great location

My good lady wife booked this site for my birthday weekend as we had tickets for a show in London.  It is great for just getting on a bus 5 minutes walk from the entrance that takes you to loads of London locations.  We did Victoria palace on the day of arrival, out for a meal and safely back to the site on the buses that run every 10 minutes. The next day off to Greenwich for another great day out, again buses every 10 minutes.   The staff were GREAT, really friendly and very helpful. Facilities clean and tidy.  Large park next door, not that we had the dog with us for a city trip. Just walked into crystal palace for an evening meal on the second night, only a 30 minute stroll and there is a great selection of places to eat. Truly great location for an active city type break.

Were we really in the capital city ?

We decided to stay at Crystal Palace as we wanted to spend some time in London going to the theatre and seeing friends.  This was such a good decision! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The wardens were the usually friendly people we have come to expect at Caravan Club sites. The site was amazingly quiet and peaceful and we couldn't believe we were actually in the capital. We did not hear any aircraft noise as stated in other reviews and so must assume our 4 nights there were not under the flight path for that period. The best thing about the site from our point of view was the easy access to central London (Whitehall, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus) to and from the site by the excellent No.3 bus service which is accessed just outside the entrance road and runs 24 hours a day - perfect. The journey is about an hour in the rush hour but less than 40 minutes late at night.  Finally the facilities are as good as any of the Caravan Club sites and we had no complaints at all I worry about giving such a glowing review as I intend to use the site more in the future and don't want it to be continuously fully booked ??

due for an update?

We have visited this site many times over the years, and it is an excellent location. Not easy to access from the west on the M25, but once there is relatively easy to go into central London, either by bus or overground trains. However, it really it time it was updated, and for a year round site to have the washing up facilities outside is simply not what should be available at what is still a premium priced site. Other than this, its a very useful site, though being under the main flightpath, plus the main TV transmitter aerial, it's not exactly Quiet and peaceful!
