About the site


With plenty of activities to keep your whole family busy, Aldenham Country Park provides an exceptional, safe environment for the perfect camping trip away. Only a few minutes' drive from the M25, you can enjoy getting back to nature whilst in easy reach of many attractions and the capital. Campers and campervan owners enjoy plenty of space on non electric grassy pitches in the stunning surroundings of the park. For glampers, there's a range of lovely five metre bell tents which can be hired with beds, bedding, cosy furnishings and other fun touches of luxury as an extra. There are also comfy cabins to sleep four, which are rented furnished with beds, a wood burner and a picnic bench, and there are also packages which can add extra touches to the cabin such as cooking essentials, bedding etc for a modest extra fee. Aldenham Reservoir on privately owned property flanks the park and visitors can enjoy the circular walk at their leisure. Please note, due to the proximity to a main road, some of the camping pitches may experience some road noise.

A note from the site themselves...

We took over the site back in 2012. We had its formal re-launch in April 2012, thereby securing its future as a fine country park, open for the public to enjoy once more.

The aim of our site is to connect people, land and food through educational and recreational activities. We are a not-for-profit community interest company, so our profits are invested back into the community to enable us to keep the park running for our guests. We hope to welcome you soon, Andy

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

Great sight, friendly welcome and good instructions of where you can pitch. We were treated by Zak who was very friendly. Loos were always clean a d showers a good temperature. Everyone we met staff and visitors all friendly. Great walk around the lake with lovely scenery. The shop prices were reasonable. My only moan was we were low on camping gas but there was no where on sight to buy any which meant a drive out which we did t want to do. Maybe something to think about, just a few necessary camping supplies. I have already recommended a d would stay again

Bad crowd ruined for everyone

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

Nice camp site for families, big play area etc. We however had a very bad experience last night with a couple arguing with each other all night, keeping everyone up and getting angry with one another. My children were a little scared. Speaking to another camper, apparently this happened the previous night well, so not sure why they were not sent away. No security on site to deal with the issue. Other issue was that there was a large event taking place, the main entrance closed at 6pm, then you have to use the after hours entrance which is basically the exit. It's one in/out and I had to wait over 20 mins for a break in cars to get in. If they have large events no idea why they shut the main gate or don't have someone on the exit to control it. Nice site, but needs better security and traffic management.

Great location

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025

Great country park location, friendly and helpful attendants. Lots of activities for families. We walked to the Stanmore tube station on our way to Wembley ( 3.5 miles approximately) the public toilets near the park entrance were modern and very clean but the porta-toilets and shower huts in the camping field were not for me. We would return but not for more than one night.
