A great site for London
This is a great site for visiting London. The team are welcoming and helpful, the site is an oasis of calm and extremely well managed, and the location makes access to central London really fast.

Abbey Wood
This is a fantastic campsite. We visited in October 2024. The site itself is especially clean, the wardens were around every day sprucing up the site and were very friendly and chatty. There are lots of well established mature trees and hedges, it feels like being in the countryside although we’re right in the middle of London! The site itself is very well positioned about a 10 minute walk from Abbey Wood train station, which is at the end of the Elizabeth line, perfect for getting anywhere in and about London. The showers and toilets are kept very clean and the standard is the one you expect from a caravan and motorhome club site. We will be returning next year and this will be our base now for travelling to London!!
ok but noisy
the bottle bins are to close to pitches , people emptying glass bottles in late at night and very early in the morning waking us up , why not have 1 bottle bank near the entrance away from pitches ? also from 6 am - 9pm you will hear planes from london city airport and also sirens from police etc

Super site spoilt by poor lighting
Loved the site for all it offered, but have to say the Clubs decision to turn the Bollard lights off after dark is a poor one from a health and safety side. Please keep the lights on until people have finished their evenings duties (showering / washing up etc) as the roads are covered with (October / November) Hazelnut husks. I had a bad fall due to poor visibility and slipping on said debris (which the staff spend all day everyday desperately trying to keep on top of).

Great site just 10 minutes from the tube station
We picked the wrong spot next to an oak tree and in the wind it sounded like we were being shot at, as the acorns landed on the roof. The local squirrels were very happy to see them though. This feels like a very rural spot just 10 minutes walk to the tube, which will whisk you into the heart of the metropolis that is London in 20-30mins. This was our first experience of a CAMC site and we were very pleasantly surprised. Although it felt a bit pricey, the site is great and the welcome and advise from Gareth in Reception was really great. We will be back.
Not my favourite
Another overpriced club campsite where if you book hard standing without awning (which is the same price as a regular pitch with awning) you could end up with an awful parking spot. The blue pitches, the ones to avoid, are either situated on gravel ground outside the toilet block ( no real privacy ) or alongside the sloping exit road out of the site. At £38 pn per blue pitch it’s a disgrace and price gouging at its very best. Unlike Crystal Palace the site is located in a not great area and although the train ride into the City is super I can only imagine that a walk back late at night from the train station would not be something I would enjoy.
Such a shame Crystal Palace is closing.
Just great
Just returned from our forth visit to this site; it ticks all the boxes for a beautiful local get away in London for us. The site is peaceful, with trees, parakeets and even the odd owl to compliment the expected foxes and squirrels. Great facilities and helpful staff. Near to Abbey Wood station and the town for shops and a station pub that does nice food - pity their mac n cheese no longer on the menu tho. Highly recomended

Thank You
I was staying for 3 nights on the Abbey Wood site but unfortunately I ended up in hospital on the last night of my planned stay.. The wardens were really helpful. My husband had to travel by train to London and they organised for him to stay the whole time I was in hospital. Thanks to the wardens for their help. Looking forward to staying there again soon.
Campeggio Fantastico!
Abbiamo soggiornato qui ad Agosto e siamo rimasti veramente contento. Il campeggio è immerso nel verde, le oazzole sono grandi e tenute benissimo. Tutto il campeggio è un piccolo gioiellino tenuto perfettamente dal personale , i bagni sono puliti come la zona del lavaggio stoviglie. Il personale è fantastico, molto efficiente e molto molto gentile e disponibile e sanno farti sentire a tuo agio anche se come me non parli benissimo l'inglese!! Dista dalla linea Elisabeth della metro 10 minuti a piedi e proprio vicino alla metro c'è un supermercato Sainsbury's molto grande e ben fornito. Per noi è stata una bellissima esperienza e torneremo sicuramente!
What a find!!
Our first stay at Abbey Wood - what a gem of a site! As other have said, easy enough to get to from the M25/Dartford crossing. Once you’re pitched up, it is literally 10mins walk to the village centre, local Sainsbury’s and both overground rail and the Elizabeth Line - so every bit of London is quick and easy to get to.
And yet (again as others have said, the odd siren apart) once you are one site you would *never* know you’re in the capital. Peaceful, leafy, so much wildlife (the wild parakeets were a real surprise!), just a wonderful site to be on.
The wardens were so friendly and helpful (great tips on travel, as well as where to get a good local breakfast!). Can see why this site is so popular, and would def come back for our next family visit to London. Love it!!
