Exciting news - we’re trialling Smart Metering at this campsite, which has allowed us to lower our site prices. Our pitch fees now exclude electricity and you can choose whether or not to use metered electricity. You only pay for what you use, so save on energy use and save when camping with us! Find out more at camc.com/smartmetering.
Surrounded by trees so that you feel tucked away in a green oasis, Wyatts Covert Club Campsite is well located to suit the tastes of every mood - the non-stop action and shopping of London is only 18 miles away, and the Buckinghamshire caravan site is also ideal for visiting small picturesque towns like Marlow and taking river trips along the Thames. Nearby Denham station takes you into Marylebone, with easy access to the underground system, stopping at Wembley Stadium, the venue for extensive sporting and music events.
With the M25 and M40 not far away, the Wyatts Covert Club Campsite is conveniently placed for excursions. Attractions within easy reach include the famously lovely Windsor Castle, Savill Garden in the Great Park, Beaconsfield (known for the Bekonscot Model Village), Henley-on-Thames, and Oxford with all the architectural splendours of its colleges. With plenty of rides and attractions, Legoland Windsor makes for a great fun family day out. For those who want to escape a little in tranquil surroundings, visit Cliveden (once the home of the Astors) or West Wycombe Park, both beautifully preserved by the National Trust. If you enjoy long walks in lush green settings, both Denham Country Park and the Grand Union Canal Towpath are not far from the caravan park and offer hours of easy exercise. Some aircraft noise can be heard from the site. The site is outside of the London Low Emissions Zone (LEZ).

Well located site, friendly and helpful wardens, well maintained facilities, next to a noisy airfield
Wyatts Covert Club Campsite
Definitely not a peaceful or quiet site, being next to a well used air field with helicoptors and prop airplanes making noise and aviation fuel smells 9am - 8pm.
On the plus side, its a great location for visiting the area. 30 mins drive south to Thorpe Park, another 20 mins to Hampton Court Palace from there after dropping the kids!
Wardens very helpful, which was important because the metering system failed to activate for us and was out of action for our first night's stay, back the next day.
Facilities spotlessly clean and well maintained.
In the week we stayed we saw a lot of solo campers in regular vans (no EHU or water), leaving early we assume for work rather than leisure. Not a problem but doesn't make the place feel suitable for families with children.
Good site but the electricity is very expensive
Wyatts Covert Club Campsite
The warden was helpful and friendly, the site was clean and safe with a good wash-block and it's convenient to walk to Denham station (1 1/2 miles) for a 22 minute train to Marylebone.
However they are trialing an alternative power supply whereby you now have to register with an on-line third party electricity supply company, make a prepayment, and at the end of your stay they refund any overpayment. All sounds OK but it is a real pain as the website is very slow, kept freezing, and the main problem is the cost of the electricity which is extortionate at 47p per kWh whereas at home we are paying 26p per kWh; so almost twice the price for the electricity. The site is expensive at £33 per night but the cost for the first days electricity was an additional £12 even though the warden advised us to budget £7 per day which is probably an annual average.
Not having electricity included in the cost of the site also means you have to check the App regularly to make sure you have enough money on the meter so your electricity isn't cut off which adds stress to your stay. If this system is rolled out across all sites it will definitely put us off using them.

Nice quiet site but Metermacs application was almost unuseable
Wyatts Covert Club Campsite
We stayed at Wyatts Covert last weekend (we travelled into London to go to the Theatre).
It is a short walk to Denham Station (20 mins or so) with easy access to London on the train (2 stops into Marylebone) which makes it an ideal location. The site is quiet despite being in close proximity to the M40/A40/M25 and the ongoing HS2 works (be aware that some of the footpaths have been closed due to HS2).
The real issue was Metermacs. Firstly we couldn't see our bollard on the application and this was due to the breaker being disabled. I reset it and it took some time before the Metermac application picked it up and we were able to connect. Secondly the Metermacs user interface is not very good and is very slow to respond at times. If charging in this way is to continue then they need to improve significantly and even consider developing a mobile APP as well. I also felt that the price charged for the electricity was high but there are other threads and comments on this.
So overall, a good site, only ruined slighty by Metermacs.
Good Site BUT we will not be returning while Electricity Metering remains in force
Wyatts Covert Club Campsite
The site is in a good location for access to the motorway network, It is clean, tidy and well maintained. However this was our first encounter with metered electricity and it ruined our break. The instructions for use are not vey clear and the metering website is slow, clunky and unreliable. Worse than that, the cost is astronomical. For a £5 per night reduction we averaged a £13 per night spend. The unit rate is 45p per kWhr compared to the 29p national average - thats 55% uplift - somebody is making a killing and I suspect it’s not the Club!!
Also if like us, you do not use the site toilets and showers we are effectively paying twice for our hot water - once through the site fee and again through the metering charges.
If this rolls out across the CAMC we will be giving careful consideration to whether we should renew membership.
DONT discount the Pitch fees, add £5 to them and leave things alone.
ps I have no problem with the “no electricity” discount scheme.
Electric Costly Faff but location great
Wyatts Covert Club Campsite
Location for London touring excellent. Coming from Wales it is easy to get to this site, (just ignore Sat Nav in the last couple of miles where it tries to turn you onto Tilehouse lane too soon, and carry on to Denham Green Lane from where you turn right onto Tilehurst lane nearer tot he site, as advised). Train from Denham Station to London, seems fast and efficient / on time. Trains mostly half hourly until later times when becomes hourly. About 35 minutes or so to get into Marylebone. So ideal for touring London. (Albeit late at night the trains are hourly from Marylebone!). The only faff element is this prepaying for the electric nonsense. The electric prepay app could not handle a change of debit card to make a second payment. We had to get help to log in to set up the account initially, staff v. helpful but a faff for everyone including them. However the card I used for the first prepayment of electric was subsequently cancelled by bank due to me inadvertently linking to a dodgy train booking site (I had to decline the dodgy payment, so card cancelled by bank). This meant for 2nd prepayment, I had to change card on the App. The App was not friendly in this respect as it does not seem set up to 'easily' allow a change of card. It defaults you back to the card you set it up with. Tried several times with about five different cards as it would not let me key in the full card details and then with half the info only allowed, it declined each card. I could not work out whether the issue was loss of signal or a problem with the App not accepting a new card. By the time got back to site, after 8 pm, all the Staff could suggest was 'switching to gas'. Fortunately we did eventually manage to get another card accepted and to make the second prepayment. So the prepayment app is not intuitive, not relaxing and not user friendly if you need to alter your payment card between payments. Also cost seems high - about £8-£10 a day even with being cautious about electric usage. £45 for 5 nights. I would rather just pay a pitch fee and not have all this faff about the electric being paid separately. Next time I will bring my own generator as a back-up as being about to be cut off was very unsettling. Be ready to go back to no EHU and gas only on this site!
