My daughters bought me tickets in April for a "big" birthday to ATP at O2 in Nov. After a 3hr traffic jam journey we arrived at CP and put kettle on. Then I discovered I had left O2 tickets at home. A call to my daughter confirmed that they were still on her computer file (after 7 months!) so e-mailed them to the wardens who printed them off. They all saved me and the day! Federer won as well. Many thanks to wardens at CP. Excellent! However bus journeys into London/ O2 getting worse! may have to start using tube.
The little printed travel guides the wardens make are excellent and should be "rolled out" across all the sites.
SIMPLY THE BEST
This beautiful and perfectly manicured site is ideally located on the fringe of the magnificent Crystal Palace Park and a 10 minute walk away from shops, bars & restaurants and the railway station. A 20 minute journey to London Victoria Station & the Underground network. Site staff are always welcoming, very friendly and helpful and are a credit to the Caravan Club.

Beautiful quiet site
We have just returned from this site. We had an accident not 300yds from the entrance and so limped onto the overnight stay area. As we were worried about moving the van, the Wardens let us stay there until we were recovered 3 days later. They could not have been more helpful - nothing too much trouble. They even contacted us regarding the van after we had left. Thankyou so much! The site is a hidden gem..so lovely yet so close to the city centre.
Great site in a great location
Just returned home after a fantastic 5 night (it was supposed to be 4 nights, but decided to stay an extra night) stay at this site. The park is really good, with excellent facilities, and the location is brilliant. Crystal Palace is an easy walk with lots of shops, pubs and restaurants, and the park is nice to wander around. And just around the corner are a number of bus stops, one of which is for the number 3 bus that takes you central London.
Best Location Ever!
The site is hidden away within Crystal Palace Park where one of the corners of the Crystal Palace used to be. the site is terraced wooded and you could be in the country. some of the levels are quite a steep walk way from the showers. the toilet and shower block could do with with an upgrade but is perfectly adequate. the warden team are helpful and welcoming even when you mess up your booking like I did! the centre of London can be reached by bus number 3 from very near the site entrance. the journey usually takes an hour to piccadilly circus depending on traffic and changing drivers. you can also walk accross the park to Crystal Palace overground train but we only used the buses and paid using a contactless debit card (no need to buy an oyster card and pay £5 for it) the debit/credit card is only charged £4.40 no matter how many buses you travel on in a day. There is rumor that this site may close - if it does it will be a great loss to the caravan club and its members. a great site for any memeber but there are no play facilities or dog walk but Crystal Palace park can be acccesd directly from the site with all these facilities and more. I cant recomend this site highly enough
A haven in the metropolis
This was the third time we have visited and stayed at the Crystal Palace site. We love it there so easy to get into the middle of London in half an hour. We have had two stays in the summer and this, our third, in November. At all of these times the site is so welcoming hidden away from the busy traffic. The staff are so helpful and polite and take an interest in where you have come from and the reasons for your stay. The shower and facilities block is always spotlessly clean and the showers/toilets warm in the winter. We love it and will be back for more short breaks.
A quick stopover
We stayed for one night and have to thank the wardens for being so accommodating about our early arrival. We had to be at a family party and we cannot thank them enough for their help when they were busy with other jobs they had to do.
A bit of aircraft noise but this would not stop us visiting again, we were not there long enough to look at facilities for children but site in good position for London tourist spots and theatres.
Windy night!
After a 5 hour drive from the West Country, it was nice to be welcomed by a lovely Welch lady.
Love this site. Only got in as someone cancelled at the last minute. Very quick ThamesLink train to St. Pancras Int' from Sydenham Hill. 5 stars all round!
Great location for London
It was our first visit last weekend for the Good food show. We love London and visit at least once a year but usually Hotel & rail. We were thrilled at how close and easy this site is for access to the centre. The no3 bus is so frequent. We tended to hop off & on at Brixton and tube it from there for extra speed. But it's easy enough to stay on the bus to the centre. We will definitely be back.
Crystal Palace Club Site
This site is the ideal spot to see London, very easy acces to the trains and buses to all locations, Underground at Brixton via number 3 bus, fastest underground on the system and with an oyster card ( travel discount ) you can enjoy your trip with minimal fuss and cover all of the popular spots and theatre's.
