We have booked for a long weekend in Chertsey the last weekend in August. OH as just been looking at the site in the Big Sites Book and spotted under the worth noting section the line "Towcars must remain on site overnight due to the possibility of flooding"
Can anyone put our minds at rest as to whether this is likely in August or is it just there to cover their backs. We are going t oa wedding and are likely to be out very late on Saturday night. The car will be staying on site and we will be taxiing or walking to the venue (I'm told it is a 5 minute walk) so even though the car will be on site, we will not.
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
you would have to be the unluckiest man on the planet ,for it to be a problem ,though you never know with global warming when the ice caps melt we will all grow web feet and fins , seriously though i have been there in august with non stop rain and it has not been anywhere near a problem
the river is not across the road its banks are right on the edge of the site , saying that i do not think it flooded last summer with all the rain we had , also a thought, it is the thames that runs by the site ,and is that not controlled by the flood barrier
the river is across the road and it would be a freak 'accident' if the site got flooded
where are you going for the wedding?

We are heading here end of July and have tickets for a theatre in Piccadilly, do you know the best train route from the campsite to somewhere close to Piccadilly. The bus tours also leave from there.

You will be fine I promise. We have stayed on the site eventhough we only live a few miles up the road near Hampton Court Palace in a timber framed house right by the Thames.
As someone said you would have to be really unlucky if we were to have flooding during August.
We stayed there end of August last year. Fab site, perfect location! I wouldn't have thought there would be problem unless it was extremely bad weather.
As said previously it is right on the bank, lovely site , one we will return to without a doubt!

From what I remember (we stayed there last august) the quickest way into London was to get a train from Chertsey to Weybridge and then change to get a train to Waterloo (where you can pick up the underground). the trains from Chertsey into the city took at lot longer.

As KHWood says you can get a train from Chertsey, but you can also go via Staines (changing there also as train runs between Weybridge & Staines). Trains come back a bit later through Staines rather than through Weybridge. Either way you will need to get a taxi back from Staines / Weybridge as I think the service to Chertsey drops dramatically after 9pm.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
