The woodland pitches are a hidden gem, perfectly done with much more space than the marketing would let you know. Each woodland pitch is different, and here's a guide.Pitch 13 is tucked away and has lots of hammock trees. We used 4 trees to put 5 hammocks up. If you really wanted, you could probably get a dozen hammocks. You could probably get 3-4 small tents and in photos is the one with the big awning. In pictures, it's the one we didn't use.Pitch 14 is the closest to the river and the riverside pitches. It's also closest to the tap. The ground is soft and flat, but with lots of holes. Again, several small tents could fit here, but a big tent couldn't avoid holes. It's the most exposed, being next to both main paths which lead from the riverside pitches to the car park.Pitch 15 is the second smallest, but is flat and the trees are perfectly placed for hammocks. It's not on the main path, but isn't tucked away. In the pictures it's the one with the green hammocks.Pitch 16 is in the middle and is by far the smallest. It's tucked away and distinguishes itself because it has a flat grassy area that could hold a 3-4 man tent. In pictures, it has the blue yet.Pitch 17 is huge and the furthest away from the river. We used it as the kitchen and campfire are because we were a large group. It's slightly sloping but 7-8 two or three man tents could be pitched if you had good sleep mats and many hammocks could fit, even without using the main campfire area.I don't know if the site rules would allow so many people, and the sizing notes I made are to give a sense of scale only.
Very much a mini getting away from it kind of place just on the North East edge of Greater London. Not from it all, perhaps, but quite a lot.
Nice location enjoyed the camaraderie round the campfire
What a gem so close to London! We cycled along the Lee Valley path slowly from Angel which we took slowly(4hours with lots of stops).We were created by Dave, the friendly and helpful warden. The pitches are a wonderful size and a fire pit with pre ordered wood made for a lovely evening. We love nature. Keep up the good work and thanks for a great stay.
