There are 5 provisional sites planned. These are:
Westlands Playing Fields in Romford
This will cost 30 pounds a night, for a 3-night minimum stay, and will provide all the facilities- showers, toilets, water points, security, camp shop, TV lounge, and most importantly, a shuttle bus service running to and from Romford Rail Station, where you can take the train to Stratford, a 15 minute journey.
Gravesham- Rugby Club, Old Gravesendians Rugby Club and a site in Culverston
These 3 sites are located in Gravesham, and are close to Ebbsfleet International Station which will have a high-speed rail link (10 minutes) to Stratford and the Olympic action. The two Rugby Club sites will have breakfast served daily and dining available for meal times if you don't feel like cooking. There will be plenty of on-site entertainment with a big screen TV in the clubhouse and themed nights, sports competitions, bar service and more. The Culvertsone campsite will have less in the way of entertainment on offer, but will have bar service and of course all 3 will have the necessary toilets and showers! All will cost 30 pounds per night.
Waterworks Nature Reserve at Lee Valley
This site is the closest you will get to the action in a motorhome- 10 minutes walk from Olympic Park. The fee reflects this, being 45 pounds a night for a minimum 3-night stay. It will offer the sanitary facilities, full onsite catering with a cafe open from 6am to 10pm, and a bar and TV. Note that this campsite is within the Low Emissions Zone, which certain vehicles are charged to enter. Check it out before you arrive.

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
