Scout Park (Scout and Guide Campsite)

Visited and stayed here a few times now. Its a great little campsite. Almost in the centre of town but feels like your in the country; you would never know your right in the middle of a housing estate. The nearest tube station is only a 5 minute walk and is on the piccadilly line taking you strait into central London.

The accommodation buildings are well stocked with lots of cooking utensils and seating. The climbing is great as-well.

Unfortunately I didn't get much time to look around the rest of the site as we were there for the monopoly run and busy with Youshape meetings.

(One extra thing.... Free wifi would be great! :D )

Fantastic resource to have in the city. You can forget that you're still in London

Great little 8 acre site. Very close to tube network and lovely, friendly Warden

Very nice Scout campsite close to the centre of London. Surprisingly large considering it's location. Very friendly warden! A good selection of activities available - climbing, archery, air rifle shooting to name a few. Close proximity of houses around site means loud late campfires are out!

With a tube station just around the corner, this ia a perfect base from which to Explore London and the surrounding area.

There are a number of different camping areas and unless you are close to the entrance it is very quiet.

Facilities are very good. The toilet block could do with a bit of TLC, but I've known worse. Booking is straightforward and everyone I have dealt with has been very helpful.

Used to live next door to this place, kids always ran riot in the local area, no supervision whatsoever. Entrance is on a rat run for cars so more than once nearly saw kids running across and nearly get run over. (Slightly) Older ones used to stand by the gates smoking and drinking, unsupervised, in North London at gone midnight. Made complaints to scoutmaster about noise, antisocial behaviour, lack of supervision,etc but got fobbed off every time. Only a matter of time before a kid is seriously injured or worse due to the shambles this place is and the lack of care and supervision by the operators. Made living there hellish.

Scouting is a great opportunity for kids to get outdoors and explore and Scout Park is a wonderful resource that enables this.

We, as a scout group used this place as a base for 3 days to explore London. It was perfectly situated for that purpose.
The building we used was warm, clean and well equiped. Everything was explained to us on our arrival by the manager, who assistrd us in sorting out the required sleeping arrangements.
