Bank holiday weekend away

Stayed here for two nights , lovely place you would have no idea you were in a built up area once on site. Quick access to London on the train. Some parts of the site could do with updating especially the washing area. Highly recommended if you arrive early as the midday rule isnt enforced this is possibly due to the easy access and egress to the site. Well worth a visit

Perfect for visiting London

The site is perfeclty situated in a suburb of London for visiting the city. The next railway station "Abbey Wood" is about 10 walking minutes away. Take the DLR train to the city, not a bus (takes too much time). With the DLR the city can be reached in about half an hour. As a restaurant we can recommend the indian "Taj Mahal" nearby the station.

Run in with the staff!

We were only staying the one night and after the altercation with the staff it was probably just as well. Everything was fine until we came to leave. Pitches fine, facilities fine, site quiet, handy for the station and for a lovely walk. Would come again as there seems to be so much to do in this area and to get to London by boat might make a change. The incident arose when we came to empty our motorhome - we had been advised of one MWP (Motorhome Waste Point) on the left as entering the area behind the barrier. However on leaving that would mean that we would need to actually leave and come back in again but we noticed another MWP shown near a toilet block. Unfortunately my husband mistook an ordinary emptying/fill up place for a MWP and was carefully emptying our grey water with a hose when 2 staff members stormed over. The male was very aggressive and asked my husband if he was a new member - we have been members for many years but tend to use the CLs so are not that clued up with the site restrictions plus had never been to Abbey Wood. Instead of politely redirecting us, the staff member was quite abrupt with my husband (in his 70's so doesn't look macho or tough!) and demanded he refer to the plan which we had been handed on arrival. We hurriedly packed away the hose and scurried to the correct place. Truly sorry for this error but we thought the MWP on the plan referred to where we were. It wasn't as though we were emptying our toilet there! and we were trying to minimise any overflow by using the hose!! Lighten up staff and try and be a bit more courteous towards members. Thanks

Lovely stay

We really enjoyed our few days at Abbey Woods. Wardens were friendly and we stayed on pitch 20 which gave us plenty of space and sun! We felt secluded even though we were surrounded by other vans. The site is very peaceful though early morning noise from the station being renovated did annoy at times. We used both the bus and train into London. 180 to Greenwich is a bumpy 40 minutes ride. Train station is about 10 min walk away and much more comfortable and quicker than the bus. The security is very good at the site. We would definitely stay here again. Grass nicely kept.

Yorkshire visitors

Hard to believe we were in such a huge city when we pitched up at the peaceful and green abbey wood site. Outstandingly helpful and friendly wardens. Nothing too much trouble. Facilities immaculate. An array of tame wildlife including squirrels and birdlife including parrots! Site wonderful for transport links to London within a short walk. Good curry house (taj mahal ) near train station.

Great location for visiting London

Sometimes it isn't easy to do a city trip with a motorhome. Abbey Wood is indeed a great choice for visiting London. Staying in an nice green surrounding with only a 5 minute walk and 35 minutes train ride to the city of London. Very nice and helpful staff, very clean facilities, nice pitches and good WiFi reception. We would definitely stay here again.

Yet another visit...

Visited again and found the wardens to be very accomodating to our changing requirements owing to a family emergency. The pitch we chose was slightly sloping but not a problem with the levelling blocks. Facilities clean and site tidy - as said before the site is tree lined and belies it's suburban location. No sign of foxes this time but big family of grey squirrels - a real pest if you're camping! All in all very friendly well organised site.

Useless Wi-Fi

Don`t bother paying for the wi-fi as it is utterly useless and a complete waste of money. Wardens and Air Angels not interested.

First caravan trip to London

We debated for several weeks in our house over all the pro's and con's of taking our caravan to London. Still unsure of what we had let ourselves in for we agreed to take the plunge and chose Abbey Wood as the site to head for. Abbey Wood site is a large site bang in the middle of the residential area of Abbey Wood. This site is just the opposite of what your expecting to find in London. First of all when we arrived we were greeted by some of the nicest wardens we have ever met on our Caravan Club tours. The site itself is in a large wooded type park. It is all very nice and peaceful and we were amazed with all the squirrels running about. The toilets and showers are, as we have come to expect with the Caravan Club, all very clean and very well kept. You are about a 5 mins walk from Abbey Wood shops. Here there is a great cafe, chip shop, kebab shop, pub among others. The train station is bang in the money and with trains every 20 mins to central London with a 30 minute journey time, its heaven. There is an Asda about a three mile drive from the site. It was a funny but good feeling to be doing all your running around in London all day to return to a nice peaceful caravan site setting and put up your feet with a BBQ and a beer!! This is by far the best trip to London we have ever had and we are already talking about returning soon. This is now one of our own personnel favorites and we will certainly return. If your put off taking the caravan to London, then don't be and get yourself along to Abbey Wood. Keep up the good work!!

Great Oasis of Green

Abbey Wood is a superbly located and well maintained site, with easy links to Central London (currently via the 180 bus to Greenwich, though the new Cross Rail station will apparently give quick and direct access. The site was excellent / the neighbours beyond the fenceline however were making the most of the Bank Holiday weekend with very loud music up until 11 pm. The playground is aimed at 4-10 year old children. Our stay was hassle free and we will be bsxk again
