Why stay here ...

Abbey Wood Club Site is now fully open following exciting redevelopments. Additional all-weather pitches including some fully serviced pitches have been added, there's now two new-style open grate motorhome and campervan waste points, for easy drive-over waste disposal and no heavy drain cover to lift, and electric hook ups have been added in the camping field.

Abbey Wood Club Site feels positively rural when you reach this gently sloping verdant site. Its mature tree screening and spacious grounds make this a 'green oasis', with tent pitches and pods also available. This site's unique selling point is its location - there are shops and good railway connections, providing frequent services to central London in just 35 minutes, within walking distance of the caravan site. Alternatively, nearby Greenwich offers its own blend of fascinating attractions, including the famous observatory and National Maritime Museum.

River cruises operate from nearby Abbey Wood Club Site between Greenwich, Tower Bridge, Westminster, Kew, Richmond and Hampton Court. Open all year, this is one of our busier London caravan sites, and is very popular with European visitors during the summer months. There are good reasons to visit Abbey Wood throughout the year though. The Christmas Lights, shopping at the January Sales, the London Marathon, Excel Centre and the Chelsea Flower show can all be enjoyed from this scenic, yet well placed, site.

Please note: this site is situated within the London Low Emission Zone. Visit the Transport for London website for more information.

Super Xmas break

We (family of 4) stayed for 8 nights, 21st to 29th December, and had a lovely relaxing break. Site was 1/3 full when we arrived and got progressively busier as the week went on, but it was always quiet at night (not sure it would be so peaceful during summer months when it was full). Shower block was always warm and clean with oodles of hot water (great water pressure too), barely saw another soul - felt like we had the place to our selves!! Washing up area was one of the best we've used - lovely deep sinks with (again) masses of hot water. We managed to get good TV reception from van aerial without a booster needed. We bought WiFi which at times was good but also experienced quite a bit of droppage as the site filled up. Easy 10 min walk to Abbey Wood railway station (National Rail - not TfL)., but you can buy TfL Travelcards. Very frequent trains into central London - every 10 mins even in the holidays. We probably could've got cheaper family travel for the week if we'd done more homework before coming due to the daily charges for the children. There is a little Co-op 5 min walk away and we drove to the Tesco at Bexley (15 mins) away for our xmas food shop. Be warned it only has underground parking so you would have to find alternative parking if you have a motor home. We also saw a Morrisons opposite Tesco but don't know about the parking options. We loved listening and watching the parakeets flying around the trees. We saw masses of squirrels but didn't experience issues with any other wildlife despite leaving the bin outside the van overnight. Follow the Club driving directions to the letter and you'll get there without too much bother...the satnav will try and take you down Knee Hill...don't go that way or you'll end in a right pickle as it is a steep narrow lane that buses use and there's barely enough width for 2 cars!! Lovely and peaceful holiday - we will probably visit again but during quieter times as we like our sleep!!

Lovely site, but...

The dreaded leaf-blower, not exclusive to the Caravan and Motorhome Club at this time of year, conspires to disturb the peace of this otherwise beautiful site. Whatever happened to rakes? It's also curious that whenever a Caravan & Motorhome site change team, the first few weeks of the new girls-and-guys are always a bit thwart (they've to purge the 'bad' habits of the departing leaf blowers). I was even shouted at during my latest visit for a misdemeanour not even outlawed in the T&Cs (I looked!) :-( Still, the club not only have great sites, but also many great staff. They'll settle in before they're moved on :-)

Lovely site and ideal for London visit.

A lovely well laid out wooded site just a few miles from Greenwich with the rail station just a10 mins walk away. Good size and clean shower blocks, friendly and helpful staff and we had a good size level pitch. If you're going into London or an O2 show then it really is an ideal base in a pleasant setting.

Great well maintained site.

We spent 9 nights staying at Abbey Wood over the latest Uk mid term break , the campsite was full but during our stay we found all the facilities to be beautifully maintained and clean. The site is an easy train trip into London from the station, and this makes it a great site to base yourself at. We had none of issues mentioned by the previous reviewer, and in fact we’re pleasantly surprised to see that the wardens were out and about continually tidying and maintaining the site. We trained backwards and forwards to London or Greenwich every day we were there at different times and experienced no issues or problems walking to and from the station and that included getting back to Abbey wood after nights attending shows. A great site in a good location with everything you need in close proximity Cheers
