Lovely site, but...
The dreaded leaf-blower, not exclusive to the Caravan and Motorhome Club at this time of year, conspires to disturb the peace of this otherwise beautiful site. Whatever happened to rakes? It's also curious that whenever a Caravan & Motorhome site change team, the first few weeks of the new girls-and-guys are always a bit thwart (they've to purge the 'bad' habits of the departing leaf blowers). I was even shouted at during my latest visit for a misdemeanour not even outlawed in the T&Cs (I looked!) :-( Still, the club not only have great sites, but also many great staff. They'll settle in before they're moved on :-)
Lovely site and ideal for London visit.
A lovely well laid out wooded site just a few miles from Greenwich with the rail station just a10 mins walk away. Good size and clean shower blocks, friendly and helpful staff and we had a good size level pitch. If you're going into London or an O2 show then it really is an ideal base in a pleasant setting.
Great well maintained site.
We spent 9 nights staying at Abbey Wood over the latest Uk mid term break , the campsite was full but during our stay we found all the facilities to be beautifully maintained and clean. The site is an easy train trip into London from the station, and this makes it a great site to base yourself at. We had none of issues mentioned by the previous reviewer, and in fact we’re pleasantly surprised to see that the wardens were out and about continually tidying and maintaining the site.
We trained backwards and forwards to London or Greenwich every day we were there at different times and experienced no issues or problems walking to and from the station and that included getting back to Abbey wood after nights attending shows. A great site in a good location with everything you need in close proximity
Cheers
Disappointing
We have stayed at many club sites but I have to say this one was disappointing. Site staff were helpful and friendly. General layout and site was clean and standard for a club site. However the site facilities were disgusting. I don’t believe this is necessarily the site staffs fault. In the female toilets every one was unflushed and used tampons in the showers. I cannot quite fathom how anyone can be that gross, but clearly some people like to live like this. We end up using our motor home loo, which was not great with 6 people staying in it. Looking at past reviews the dirty toilets is a common complaint. Maybe these need to be checked more frequently through the day. We have never had this problem anywhere else.
I also get that we were in London but didn’t quite bank on the rave that went on all through the night and into Sunday.
I site is perfect for visiting London. We used the train on the Sunday. 10 minute walk. Wouldn’t venture in to the shopping area after dark. We got stopped quite a few time by people asking for money.
Great stay at Abbey Wood
Had a great time here, quiet site as well, apart the birds. Didn't realise we could not leave before 8:00 a.m. So had to park up and wait to leave on our final day. So easy to get into London by train took about 40 minutes, will be even quicker when cross rail opens.
Great
Stayed for a few nights so we could take in a show, go to Greenwich.
The directions are spot on but make sure you pick up the A201, its easy if you do and a bit of a b~~~~r if you miss it. DONT GO DOWN KNEE HILL.
Great team of wardens, all 8 of them. Mark and Mark are a team.
Transport to anywhere is a doddle. If you are a wrinkly you can us ethe bus pass on buses but not trains.
Royal Observatory is 3/4 hour away on bus. Be prepared for rip off prices for food.
Tina musical. Well lets say as it was the first night of the new Tina it was average.
Site though is brilliant if you dont park undre the trees. It was really raining chestnuts.

beautiful quiet site
Such a surprise! When you drive in from a noisy busy suburb and enter into the green tranquil space it is a real surprise. Surrounded by trees and parakeets you would think you were out in the countryside. The facilities are as always spotlessly clean, a decent dog walk is on the site and the pitches are spacious and well kept. Abbey Wood park containing Lesnes Abbey is well worth a visit. It is just opposite the site and the grounds are extensive. We took our dogs every day and nowhere near covered the whole park. It is beautifully laid out with lots of information, including a tea room and information centre around the Abbey. It is all free. It is a short walk to the station, down into the 'village' where you can get a train directly to London Bridge and Charing Cross. While we were there the village held a food street market which was fun and interesting, and the local pub does superb pizzas. If we visit London again we will definitely stop here again
Lives up to expectations
This is my first trip to Abbey Wood as Crystal Palace has always been my favoured London stop. I can’t add much to all of the positive reviews already posted other than agree. It’s a great site, a quiet, green oasis in the urban sprawl that is Greater London. The immediate surrounding area holds little of interest and doesn’t have much in the way of nice restaurants and pubs, but as a base for exploring further afield it’s perfect.
Great base
Great location within 30mins train ride of London Bridge station. Plenty of shops in Abbey Wood village and a large Sainsburys just beyond. Facilities are good - particularly heated floors in showers in winter. Deceptively tranquil location in the centre of a London suburb
