Woodland in the city

Why would you stay here? Its approach is through residential streets (although a bit convoluted, it’s best to follow the approach advised by CAMC), there is nothing much around. However, it’s ten minutes walk from the Elizabeth line that whisks you into London by tube in no time. It’s a direct tube to Tottenham Court Road where you can go to West End shows and then hop back on again in the evening and you are back in your caravan within forty minutes. Greenwich is a short ride away and access to all of London is on your doorstep. We pitched up and never used the car in almost a fortnight. The site itself is a lovely unexpected oasis of trees and bird song. As most people seemed to spend the day in the city and travel by tube the site was quiet of both traffic and people. Whilst it is quiet as in activity on site you will still hear the planes, distant trains and traffic in the background depending on the wind. For anyone after a bit of non-city woodland relief there’s miles of quiet woodland walks (or trail runs) in the adjoining Lesnes Abbey Woods and Bostall Heath. The site team were all brilliant. Friendly and informative. You couldn’t ask for a better group of wardens. We will definitely be back in the future. It was great to be able to visit the city but then retreat to the comfort of our own caravan at the end of the day.

Brilliant in every way!

We stayed at Abbey Wood for five nights and cant praise the staff enough. A superb welcome, loads of advice (it was our first time at this site) on how to get to various places in London, highly recommend the Elizabeth Line. Above all the site was immaculate, Loo’s, Showers were great and very clean and outside the grounds were well kept. Special thanks to Paul, Karen, Ian, Vikki, Sharron and Brian for a tremendous site, we would highly recommend to everyone.

Superb site and great location

We stayed here for 2 nights in January and loved every minute. Abbey Wood campsite is a lovely green oasis surrounded by trees but an easy train ride from the centre of London. The site is gently sloping but pitches are huge and hard standing is level. We were also lucky to have excellent TV reception on our pitch which was an unexpected bonus. Just the perfect place to stay if you’re planning a visit to London. Highly recommended and I can’t wait to stay again.

Great campsite, superb location! :)

My husband and I visited the site as he was working in London between Christmas and New Year so tried to make a holiday out of it for me and our pooch. You would never guess there would be a site in such an urban area, but as we turned into the site we were greeted by lots of trees and the lovely sound of bird song. The chap at reception was lovely and friendly and told us we could pick our own pitch and just let him know. The pitch sizes were massive and all hard standing (we have a motorhome) and the camp is surrounded by trees. The facilities are great- the toilet/shower block was clean tidy and warm and it even has 2 (free) hairdryers! Plenty of water points, chemical disposal, laundry and dish washing area which I always prefer using. It is a 10 minute walk to the village centre, which has a pub, a little Morrisons, local shops, takeaways and an Indian restaurant. There are bus stops and the Elizabeth Line tube and rail link which is a great station with fab links and disabled access. We had a really great stay and totally recommend this site for visiting central London and we will definitely visit again!

Super Location, shame about the shower blocks

We have stayed at the Abbey Wood site many times over the last 15 years or so. The site is the best for access to London and, with the new Elizabeth Line, it is even easier. Located in the edge of a wood the surroundings are very relaxing and full of wildlife (particularly Ring Neck Parakeets). Staying there has given us many happy experiences in London that we would not have done otherwise. Our latest visit was for 11 nights from mid November. Here lies the problem: The shower blocks were cold. Having experienced the underfloor heating working at its best on previous occasions, it came a a big shock when it appeared that the heating was either broken or the thermostats set so low, it never came on. Having mentioned it to the wardens, we were never given a definitive reason as to why they were so cold. We know it is a very popular site, and we will continue to stay there however, the shower blocks are looking very 'tired and worn out' (and cold)

First visit.

This was our first time to Abbey Wood. Using it as a base to attend ABBA Voyage. We also went into central London and Greenwich. All easily accessible by train, the station is only a 10 minute walk away. The staff were extremely friendly we will definitely return .A nice woodland retreat away from the hustle and bustle when you return after a days outing.

Above and Beyond Expectations

This was an ideal value for money site for being a tourist in London. An oasis of calm in a lovely woodland setting despite being in a very busy area. Excellent public transport links into central London just 10 minutes walk from the site. Factor in the time taken to get to the site because of traffic volumes but that's typical of London! Will definitely return. Facilities were excellent and well maintained and clean. Staff helpful.

Great location

Stayed for 5 nights, great location for visiting London. The Elizabeth tube line runs from Abbey Wood and its a 10 minute walk from the site. The site is well maintained and facilities are the usual club standard.

Sleep in the wood, live in the metropole

A peaceful stay, surrounded by nature, where everything is clean and functional, while your are still at 20 minutes by the city centre of London. It's really uncommon to find such an high quality camp site in a big metropole. It's absolutely our first choice for visiting London.
