Great base for exploring London

This is a fantastic site - well organised, spacious pitches, good facilities and with a consistently friendly welcome from the helpful and knowledgeable wardens. The trees and wildlife make the site feel quite rural despite the proximity to the superb network of buses and trains a short walk away. We've used the site three times this year - we've brought bikes with us on two occasions and cycled on The Thames Path cycle network and to Greenwich. We've also taken the train from Abbey Wood station to Woolwich Arsenal and then jumped on a Thames Clipper boat to central London. We're really pleased to have found this site and will use it whenever we need our London fix!

Just fantastic

We have to echo the views of others about this site. We were a little nervous about taking the caravan to London but no more! Really easy to get to and then wow, one of the best sites we have stayed at - just beautiful. It was like staying the in middle of a park, so well set out, fabulous mature trees and waking up was like being in an aviary with the birdsong and the parakeets. The staff are quite exceptional. A lovely welcome and cheerful friendly staff throughout the stay. Quite frankly you could just spend a break here without leaving the site, there is so much to enjoy while you are there. But the added bonus is the nearby train station taking you in 30 minutes to central London. Just great, thank you so much Abbey Wood staff, we have already booked for our next visit.

Great location - oasis of woods - close to London transport network

What a brilliant site! Large pitches, site very roomy, lots of facilities - modern and clean. Only a 10 minute walk to Abbey Wood over ground train station - circa 30 minutes to London Bridge and the trains run every 15 minutes or so right up to midnight. A perfect location for exploring London/going to a show.

Wonderful surprise of a site and super-friendly wardens

Travelling through housing estates and built-up areas, you turn left into Abbey Wood site and into a green oasis full of mature trees, well-kept green spaces and the beautiful floral display at reception. The greeting was warm, friendly and welcoming and we were told to find a pitch before returning to reception for a pass key to the gates. The site was not too busy and we had plenty of pitches from which to choose. We found one level enough to not to have to use anything under the wheels. Within the centre of the site and next to the play area there is a large space for camping. The variety of tents was interesting and a far cry from the days when we used canvas. Just one party did not obey site rules, setting up their tent and camp far too close to another unit and lighting a fire with enormous flames and smoke with only about 2 metres space - against all health and safety guidance. The layout of the site made all the rest of the areas feel spacious and not ‘overlooked’. There is a play area for the children, so the days are full of excited noise from the younger ones, playing, riding bikes and scooters, and bouncing balls. Everyone observed site etiquette and things went quiet by 10pm. The nights are slightly disturbed by a little bit of road noise and the screams of the resident family of foxes - but none of it was too intrusive. The facilities were kept spotlessly clean, but for such a large site there is only one disabled shower. With three separate toilet/shower blocks it would be great if the club could think about updating a little and provide disabled facilities in each of them. We were there during some fine weather and the towering mature trees gave lovely dappled shade, and were also home for some gorgeous parakeets. Not too far away and within walking distance there is a Sainsbury’s, some take-aways in Abbey Wood ‘village’ - all a short downhill stroll from the site. There is also a cafe which is very popular with the locals and clearly the daily meeting place for a good chinwag. The railway station too is a short downhill stroll from the site and we found the service to be excellent and very regular. With so many places to visit and so much to do, we will be returning to again enjoy all that Abbey Wood has to offer.

Fantastic Location

Great site. Spotlessly maintained with spacious pitches & helpful staff.. The location, 10 minutes walk to the station with direct connection into central London makes this site perfect for any visit to town. Lesnes Abbey ruins adjacent to the site are well worth a visit too. Oh, and that screaming noise in the night? It’s just the foxes! No problem as long as you don’t leave shoes outside your van.

be aware

We had a pleasant time here cycling the Thames path , close to supermarkets and shops of all kinds . Railstation within easy walking distance for trips to central London. But and its a big but be very aware that the London Emission zone covers this site and the regs have changed as to what vehicles have now to pay (March 2021). If you motorhome is over 3.5 tons and is not Euro 6 rated or vehicle does not meet the new emmission regs you must pay the charge within 24 hours of entering . The best way to check is to use the tfl.gov.uk/lez site and use your registration to find if you must pay. Do not consult online forums as they out of date.

A good site made Great by the staff

We have visited twice; we like London and our youngest just gave us our first Granchild! On our first visit I hurt my back lifting awkwardly (hospital job...). The staff were PROACTIVELY supportive, noticing my painful limp and keeping a respectful “eye on me” while wife saw “our” new baby - I certainly didn’t want her to be marooned with me. On our 2nd visit the staff insisted I didn’t “provoke “ my back and helping in a way that I felt OK about, i.e. joking and making sure I wasn’t embarrassed by not being able to “do my jobs”... They have been the best site staff among many good site staff over the years. For all the caravaners who WON’T injure themselves, this is still a great site! London is the draw but also give the Abbey Inn pub, with the Sourdough Pizza restaurant a try - with a Wednesday free film night and many other attractions we enjoyed our visits. The ambience is friendly, with smiles from the owners and what seemed to be local residents and commuters from the adjacent Station. We generally found folks pleasant, perhaps helped ‘cos we don’t “look down our noses” at anyone, anywhere. We prefer, as a couple, to “live and let live” without feeling superior to our fellows (come on: you know what I mean!). Book ahead and be chilled about which pitch you get - there’s no pre-choosing - all have their advantages. We are booked to come back in July for our third visit this year (and if Grandma has her way I don’t doubt we will be testing the Bailey heating and insulation during Autumn...).

Super site

a warm welcome awates you at this site, the wardens could not be more helpful We had to leave our daughter and mother on site as we had a family emergency and we asked the staff to keep a watch on them should they have any technical issues and they were more than happy to oblige. their few days went without hitch and although we did cut our visit short nothing was to much trouble. the wild life is amazing and yes the foxs steal shoes!!! (We were warned) With other issues on site the wardens need medals and are a credit to our superb club Thank you Abbey wood we will return!!!!! to continue our adventure

The perfect stay

We arrived here at the site and we’re welcomed by two lovely couples, the check in process was quick and easy and made so by the site managers. We were two MotorHomes travelling together and the managers did everything to ensure we were sited next to each other. The site is very beautiful and yet very secure with discreet cameras tucked away in the pleasant surroundings of tall leafy trees and chirping green parakeets. After settling in staff members arrived to ensure that we were happy and ok (which we were). After that we were left alone to enjoy the peace and quiet. The site itself is exceedingly clean as were all the facilities, and they were kept that way throughout the whole of our stay. We stayed for three days and during this time the staff came by occasionally whilst maintaining the site just to chat. This is the ideal site for trips into London with the train station just down the road which will take you into London Bridge, ideal for trips to the West End etc. We will definitely be back, once you’ve stayed here you’ll put this at the top of your ‘I’m gonna return here’, list. Great prices as well as club members
