Peace and quiet, but with such good transport links into London

It was very easy to find this site, and the access was plain sailing. Our welcome was very friendly and helpful, and all contact with the staff was lovely, we felt like they were pleased to see us. The pitches were cleverly spaced so that you were not overlooked,and even though half of the site was closed due to groundwork, that did not diminish our enjoyment of the stay.The shower blocks were very clean and well organised, and the free hairdryers just made everything easy. It was a two minute walk to the bus stop that was direct to Greenwich, and then we used trains, buses and the DLR which were all very accessible, and by using a contactless card, good value for money. There is a Sainsburys superstore just ten minutes walk from the site which stocked every household item that you may have forgotten. We were woken by the chainsaws and the woodpeckers, which were both very pleasant reminders that we were staying in a wood.

Can't fault the site although not as close to Greenwich as we thought

The site was well laid out, quiet and clean with good facilities and very helpful staff. Our only reservation is that after reading the write up in the club magazine on sites in London we were under the impression it was far closer to Greenwich whereas in reality its a 8 min walk to the bus and then 40 mins travelling time. Our lesson from this is that we need to do our research more diligently before we book sites but as we are new members we obviously still have a lot to learn.

Great access into Central London

Now stayed at Abby Wood site twice, and getting the hand of travelling into city centre, its quick and easy, and about to get a whole lot quicker when Cross Rail opens up at end of the year. The site has been clean and tidy on both visits, with helpful staff on hand to answer all our questions. Will be back soon.

Wardens were so helpful to us

We stayed before Xmas, this is my 7th time staying at this site. The site is so handy for public transport to London and the facilities are always spotless. Our motorhome developed a problem with the habitation door, which meant that we had to abandon our holiday to get it back to the dealership. The wardens couldn't do enough to help. We had to leave early and just thought that we would have to lose our remaining nights fees as we hadn't given notice. On our way back we received a call from the Wardens who refunded our remaining night fees.We hadn't asked for a refund they notice we had remaining nights and rang us on their on initiative. That is service above and beyond, its why I use the Caravan and Motorhome Club again and again. We actually had to have a new door lock part fitted and the refund meant that we could get away before Christmas for a couple of nights at another site.

Brilliant site

Always a pleasure to stay here. Plenty of room, really clean and well maintained. You either like or not, the parakeets. So close to the train & bus. Wonderful!

A lovely site in the city

We stayed here for 3 nights over New Year as we got tickets for the NYE fireworks. What a lovely site, clean toilet and shower block with underfloor heating. The staff were an absolute delight, giving us advice on how to get back from the city and even put on drinks 3-4 pm on New Year's Eve. The main gate did close at 10 for vehicles but that didn't bother us as we travelled from Abbey Wood rail station direct to Victoria and even went by bus one day to Greenwich. Abbey Wood town was ok but felt safe with the high fence and security cameras. The site was lovely and quiet, I did only score this a 4 as you do hear a bit of aircraft noise. Some work was commencing on the day we left but not sure what but we will have no hesitation in returning if we need to be in London.

Good site, which is very handy for visiting London.

We visited the site for a long weekend recently and found the site up to the Caravan Club's high standards. I would highly recommend thi site if you want to visit London. One moan though about the 10 o'clock curfew; this can be very inconvenient for us as we usually drive our motorhome off site. Have to make sure we are back early!

Excellent stay to explore London

We are in our 70's and new to caravanning, this is our first visit to a club site. Apart from the reviews we had no expectations. If this is the standard to expect I think we are in for some lovely visits to far away places. Staff first class. facilities were excellent (only one toilet block open but certainly not crowded) Lovely site to explore London with local buses and train within a few minutes walk. I note the remarks of the previous reviewer, if this is a tired and worn out site, what pleasures we have coming. I agree it is a little difficult getting on to the pitches, Our c'van is like us a little ancient (2001) with the Motor Mover not working, but we managed. The MM is now operating. The opening times did not worry us as we used local transport so walked in. I can understand the security aspect though. Unfortunately we had to leave 24 hours early, not only did we get a refund but as we wanted to get away early was offered any time out and someone would open the gates for us. What was noticeable, was the number of people using the site as a base for their work. An altogether lovely experience.

Now ge getting old and un-loved

This site is great for everything that you would expect of a key London site, however it is becoming un-loved. The site requires a major overhaul (last conducted in the early 1990's), the facilities are becoming old and worn. The pitches are now too small for what the club requires in regards to space between units (alleged fire regulations) and the maintenance of the pitches is sparce. Another major issue is the time the gates are closed and opened, why close at 10pm and do not open until 8am. They say it is for security, but anyone can walk through the open side gate. Motorhomes and pods (high-end where they have removed speed bumps to stop the noise, so much for safety) are taking over this site, motorhomes only stay for short periods but take up all the best pitches. i will return because of the location, but please show some love to the site.

grandkids visit

Hi, this is a excellent site, and kids friendly,we all enjoyed our recent stay.If I have any criticism,is the lack of "leaving day " parking, where I would like to make a trip into London on last day,a nd park up for half a day,and paying for it. I did park on site for day but paying more or less full overnight fee. There is no parking on roads nearby.
