About Aldenham Country Park

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.

The site is open for weekends from May bank holiday weekend and then from 26th July and 31st August and weekends in September.

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

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

A really good place to stay my daughter. We were going to Wembley (30 mins away driving, train station is quicker) so we camped here in our transporter. It was really good value, didn't use any facilities apart from the toilet as we just slept. It was quiet and we had a code to enter after closing, which was perfect. The staff were friendly and the toilets very clean, I would stay again.
