About Lees Wood Scout Camp

A former Scout camp that's now largely defunct, Lees Wood sits quietly east of Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire - the sort of place you'd only know about if someone had mentioned it or you'd stumbled across the overgrown entrance by accident. The site itself is mostly off-limits these days, though the woodland setting that made it attractive to the Scouts back in the day still lingers in the trees and paths around it. Unless you've got a particular connection to Scouting history or you're genuinely interested in defunct youth organisations, there's not much to do here - it's more a curiosity than a destination. The real appeal of the area lies elsewhere. If you're based at North Hill Farm just 2.8 miles away - the only five-star rated option among local caravan parks - you'd be far better spending your time exploring the Colne Valley or walking the proper trails through the surrounding countryside. Wyatts Covert and Whelpley Hill Park both offer decent bases for family holidays in the region, but neither puts Lees Wood Scout Camp high on the itinerary. Honestly, unless you're researching Scouting heritage or you've got a sentimental reason to visit, give this one a miss. The woodland is nice enough, but it's not what draws people to Hertfordshire. Better to focus your efforts on the parks and countryside proper.
