Good for families

Fabulous location for the city but BE AWARE OF THE LONDON CHARGING ZONE

I had looked at the Abbeywood site previously but dismissed it because I thought its location it would make it a 'bit rough!' - how very wrong I was - we found this site to be excellent - the staff were very friendly and helpful, the site and its facilities are very clean and tidy. The pitches are all well maintained and clean and tidy. There are three facilities blocks and the service points for motorhomes are very good. The site itself is located within a 5-minute walk to Abbeywood station which is on both the Elizabeth line and Thameslink and so gets you into London very quickly and without issue. The Abbey Cafe which is just around the corner also offers a very nice and extensive menu. All in all we would be very pleased to return to this site. However, please take this review with a cautionary tale - be very aware that this site falls within the London Emission zone and so you need to make sure you pay this before you arrive - our motorhome is 3.5t and so on a normal day this would cost us an additional £300 (and be aware that this is each 24 hour period so that £300 in and £300 out!) however, if you dont pay it beforehand or worst still dont realise (like US!!!) then you will get a penalty and this in our case ended up costing us £1000 coming in and £1000 going out - this weekend trip ended up being more expensive that a foreign holiday for a week! This is not the fault of the campsite and I would gladly return but even at £600 plus the site fees this is not a feasible site for us again - which is a great shame. I think it would be a great advantage if the club site informed us of this before we arrived - I for one would have been very grateful to have known this beforehand.

It does warn you of this on the site listing page.

I used to enjoy this site, but can no longer visit because of it.
