A must to stay at this amazing site so close to London

Staff friendly, helpful professional and cheerful, great team that we met. Facilities spotless. Serviced Pitch needed a small amount of leveling but plenty of room around pitch. Fantastic wooded area loads of wildlife to see. Loved every minute of our stay. Great cafe near train station "Abbey cafe" they do a great full English., and healthy options too. Walk to train station 5-10 mins on way back slight incline. Perfect for visiting London. Definitely a site that is perfect just the way it is.......

Really nice site, hidden gem in the built up location. Brilliant for visiting London

We came to this site as we wanted to take our children to London to visit the museums. It was perfect for this, it has a station, a 10-minute walk away with trains going every 20-minutes into London. The site its self is lovely, its a real hidden gem in a built-up area, surrounded by old oak and conker trees (and various others) which are full of squirrels, parrots! (YES parrots!) and other woodland creatures. The children's park area isn't huge but the children still enjoyed it, although there wasn't a great deal my youngest (2 year old) could enjoy in the park. Overall, we had a lovely visit and would be happy to book here again if we want to visit London borough again.

Great site... but...

Lovely clean site, but a few issues. We now in peak rate and one of the toilet blocks appears to be permanently closed. The site is full. There's a large queue for the showers in the morning. No-one knows why the 3rd shower block is closed. Wifi is pretty much unusable when the site is full. The club charges a premium for the wifi but does not have the capacity to provide a usable service. Not good! Location is good for day trips to central London - about 45mins on the train. Site is well cared for but another drawback is where the site maintenance goes on over the weekend. I come here for a rest and some peace and quiet, but right next to me someone has a powerful hedge trimmer and its very very noisy! Can't this be done on weekdays? Staff are friendly. The site has a small shop. Its so small it only seems to sell icecreams and fruit pastels! But there is a coop 12mins walk away. Shame they don't stock food items on site.

Lovely

Wow what a lovely site. Travelling from Lincolnshire the journey because of traffic was slow. It was therefore great to be welcomed by someone who was friendly and happy to be of help. The site is spotlessly clean. The team working there are knowledgeable and keen to ensure your stay goes well. For example we were not keen on our pitch and we managed to get it changed. Our front locker hinge broke and we didn’t have a drill with us. One of the team let us borrow his and offered to help. The walk to the station and small shopping area is about 10 mins so really once you get there you don’t need to move your car until you leave. We usually choose CL sites but I definitely will be booking Abbey Wood again, no more London hotels for us! 😀

First Trip to London

Easy to get to off the M25 - be sure to follow handbook directions not sat nav - site an unexpected peaceful oasis in amongst residential area. Close to Abbey Wood Station which gives excellent access to Charing Cross. So much to do in London that 10 days was not enough - be sure to visit Greenwich Site Staff were fantastic - so friendly and helpful - site very well maintained a credit to the staff.

Unexpectedly peaceful site near London's heart.

Well run, clean and organised, good layout. This site is surprisingly tranquil considering its location, there are jumbo jets passing overhead but they are strangely unobtrusive and traffic noise is minimal. There is a flock of green parakeets in the surrounding mature trees to keep you amused - take binoculars. The location of Abbey Wood is near to the M25 and easy to get to. There is not much in Abbey Wood itself except a railway station, supermarket and a ruined abbey. Using the train to get about makes sense - trains run every 15 min. and take 20 min. to get to Greenwich (Greenwich market, Royal Observatory, Cutty Sark)for example. Visit Eltham Palace its a real gem. Pie and Mash(with optional eels and liquer) at Greenwich market. The Arts café near the Thames Barrier is well worth a visit for a bohemian vibe overlooking the river surrounded by small artisan and artist studios. Very enjoyable visit to the otherwise manic metropolis.

Excellent site

In the last three weeks we have stayed at Abbeywood three times while visiting family. This is a beautiful paridise just outside of London. Very well run and lovely helpful friendy wardens. Well worth a stay.

Should have stayed longer

We usually stay at Crystal Palace when visiting London but thought we'd try here instead. Beautiful peaceful site and not too far to drive from M25. Great train connections to city centre and lots of buses too although they take quite a long time. Really good for visiting Greenwich and we spent a few days there as there was so much to see and do. Highly recommend Viscount Sunday evening cruise. Must highly commend the staff at this site. So happy and friendly it made our visit a real pleasure.

Great location

We visited the site over easter half term, great site and i can pretty much agree with the many comprehensive reviews already listed so i won't rattle on!. This is about our 5th list to London and previously we had stayed at Crystal Palace, this being our first try at Abbey Wood. Both sites are great to the high club standard you would expect, so i will just list a few considerations for this against Crystal Palace. The access from the M25 motorway to Abbey Wood is excellent in comparison to Crystal Palace, I'm not saying Crystal Palace is horrific because its not, but Abbey Wood has a much better caravan friendly route from the motorway to the site and is much closer to the motorway network. The walk to Crystal Palace and Abbey Wood to the local train station is comparable, and both train routes and services are fantastic. Crystal Palace town itself is much better than Abbey Wood. I imagine most people will arrive at the site and like us, each day set off into the London Metropolis, however occasionally when at Crystal Palace we will take a walk around the town visit the shops, pubs and restraints which are all fine. This isn't really an option at Abbey Wood as there isn't much there save the station, a goos supermarket and a few local takeaways etc. Its still an OK place but CP can offer more.

A peaceful gem in the middle of suburbia

This was our first visit to Abbey Wood. Having used CMC sites before I was expecting the usual high standard for our Easter break. From arrival I was impressed. The wardens were friendly and helpful, they gave great advice about choosing a pitch. Great information about getting in to London, and various facilities on the site. We chose pitch 6 which was in the crescent part of the site facing the sun, if it had been present! It was a quiet part of the site given there was no thorough traffic and would definitely try to get in this area again. There would be more passing traffic if you were on the main drive, but to be honest given it's not a massive site there won't be that many cars etc going by. I couldn't believe how peaceful it was, birds singing, wind in the trees, all the more remarkable given it is surrounded by houses. The trees however give good camouflage. There was noise from the odd aeroplane, but they were few and far between. Facitiltes were good - clean and warm and numerous service points. Even though by the end of the week there were few empty pitches you didn't feel as though you were among a mass of people. The drainage was good and even though it rained every day there was no standing water anywhere on the site. The price was very good given we weren't far from London, and even the drive down from the North East of England was relatively straight forward. When we come the next time I wouldn't come off at the A223/A220 as the satnav suggested I'd continue on to A210 then danson road and Brampton road. Just be mindful that satnav will send you down knee hill to the site however at the crossroads there is a sign sending you to the left, this is a circuitous route which is fine given knee hill is steep, however at the roundabout from the B213 there is no sign telling you where to go, it was only the fact I knew we needed to come from knee hill that I spotted it to the right of the roundabout and knew where to go. This was nothing to do with the site however. Roll on our next visit, it's a no brainier for a visit to the capital.
