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
