A real gem

Just spent a long weekend here and would thoroughly recommend the site. The wardens were always helpful and cheerful and seemed to work non-stop to maintain the site in the inclement weather conditions. Ideal location for going into London for a show or just shopping

Great as always

We use this site for all our visits to London, and as usual this latest visit was fantastic. The lovely trees, wildlife and surroundings make the stay an absolute pleasure. The wardens are always so helpful and do a great job of looking after the site.

Super but ...

Have stayed here before as it's great to travel into London using the £12 Travel card for use on all trains, buses and underground. Site is very well run, clean and tidy. Small point: the showers were not piping hot as they used to be. The only but (and it's nothing to do with the site) was the occasional VERY loud bangs presumably from a nearby bird scarer device.

FANTASTIC

We booked to stay at the Abbey for two nights but loved it so much we wanted to stay longer sadly they only had one more day available. The staff here are the best we have ever come across ,we had health problem and the staff couldn't do enough for us ,the facility's are spotless . We will return with a bottle of South American wine that we were going to give you ,but we had to leave early in the morning. Kind regards from the Cornish couple X X

excellent location for london

Just spent a week at this great Site, site is only a 5 minute walk to the train station, which will take you into central London about 30 min. large sainsburys 10 mins walk. Alot of wild life, so beware was the sons 6th birthday while we was there and left a birthday cake in awning, mr fox came in at night and draged it outside. Good size hard standing pitches with tv hook up, but beware i had pitch under the trees which was horse chestnut as the place was full my caravan was constantly bombarded with these day and night we was not there most of the day . which has resulted in a very dinted caravan roof and front, so not happy would also wake you up at night. There was several pitches like this so cannot under stand why they are not coned off. did ask to move but was told it was full. small play ground for small kids, showers great as alway

An autumnal delight

This site is well worth a visit, both in its own right and as a very useful base for Central London and all points south east. Pretty at any time of year (open all year round) it is particularly colourful with the changing colour of trees in the Autumn. Local facilities are enhanced by recent opening in 2015 of a large Sainsbury 10 / 15 minutes walk away (other side of the railway station). When Abbey Wood railway station eventually becomes the Eastern terminal of the Cross Rail line, it will be further enhanced making the City Centre even more rapidly accessible. It's a couple of years since we were last here but we noticed a SIGNIFICANT rise in the number of take offs and landings at London City Airport just over the river, and we found the aircraft noise more pronounced than in previous years. It took us around three days to become marginally accustomed to it, but in a week, we didn't become inured to it. It's always there - starting from around 05.00 hours.This is a bit of a downside and, we fear, will get worse before it gets better - if at all. Nothing you can do about it - but it does detract and reduces my scoring for 'Overall rating', 'Peace and Quiet' and 'Location' by one point each. That said, we both commented that there appeared to be fewer two tone emergency vehicle sirens in the vicinity during the hours of darkness. Can't explain that - but it was significant. Still WELL WORTH visiting and as well 'wardened' and cared for as ever.

Great location

A very peaceful site in a woodland location. This site is very popular with European campers due to its proximity to London. The bus stop is 300 yards away. catch a very frequent 180 and with one change en-route 90 minutes later you're crossing Westminster Bridge and jumping off at Horse Guards parade, and all for free with a bus pass. The train station offers frequent trains in to Charing Cross or Cannon Street for a return fare of about £8.50. En-route on either bus or train is Greenwich, very interesting in itself. We shall be using this campsite again whenever we fancy a few days away.

Oasis in the city

Abbey Wood, What a surprise! The site is in peaceful woodland and not far from from central London. There is public transport only a few minutes walk away and frequent bus and train services will take you almost anywhere you want to go. In a whole week we only used our car once and that was mainly to fill it with fuel! Choose your pitch carefully. Some are well under the trees and get no sun at all. However, the layout of the site means no pitch is too far from one or other of the shower blocks ( the third block is closed at some times of the year)

We mostly used the train to go into central London, it's far quicker than the bus, but we did use the bus to visit Greenwich and to go to the Red House at Bexley. We invested in an Oyster card before we went to use on the trains which has a daily cap of £9.50 from Abbey Wood.

Sainsburys is just a few minutes walk from the station so we often shopped each day on the way back to the van, seemed to work best as the weather was extremely hot, but we did go to the Asda at Belverdere about 3 miles away
