Camping in Hertfordshire

Hertfordshire's mix of farmland, riverside meadows and Chiltern hills makes for varied camping and glamping, much of it easy to reach from London yet properly rural once you're there. Around Tring and Chorleywood the sites lean towards the Chilterns, with woodland and hilltop settings at places like Chiltern Yurts and North Hill Farm, while the Lee Valley near Broxbourne and Goffs Oak offers a gentler, waterside feel, seen at Lee Valley Almost Wild Campsite.

Elsewhere the county's smaller farm-based sites, such as Fuzzy's Farm, Home Farm Glamping and Toad Abode, tend to favour quiet fields and family-friendly pitches over facilities-heavy parks. For something more established, the Hertford Camping and Caravanning Club Site suits those wanting a straightforward, well-run base near the town. Choosing between them often comes down to whether you want a working farm setting, a wooded glamping retreat like Three Lakes Glamping or The Secret Garden, or a simple field to pitch a tent for a night or two.
