The sound of urban London fades beneath the rustle of leaves and birdsong the moment you step onto this wooded site on the edge of Epping Forest.
Tucked into the Lee Valley Regional Park, this is proper green-belt camping for Londoners and visitors who want proper canvas-under-trees nights without the motorway trek. Tent pitchers and campervan tourers both find space here, with electric hook-ups available if you need them. It's brilliant for families who want a taste of the outdoors while staying within reach of the city, and dog walkers have Epping Forest's ancient woodland trails right on the doorstep.
The site keeps things straightforward — pitches among the trees, facilities you'd expect, nothing fancy but nothing lacking. Check about campfires when you arrive; policies vary with season and conditions. Coarse anglers know the Lee Valley well, and Waltons Walk Fishery is just a short pedal or drive if you fancy an early-morning session. The vibe is relaxed and leafy — a proper camping escape that happens to be in Zone 6.
