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.

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

Disappointing

We have stayed at many club sites but I have to say this one was disappointing. Site staff were helpful and friendly. General layout and site was clean and standard for a club site. However the site facilities were disgusting. I don’t believe this is necessarily the site staffs fault. In the female toilets every one was unflushed and used tampons in the showers. I cannot quite fathom how anyone can be that gross, but clearly some people like to live like this. We end up using our motor home loo, which was not great with 6 people staying in it. Looking at past reviews the dirty toilets is a common complaint. Maybe these need to be checked more frequently through the day. We have never had this problem anywhere else. I also get that we were in London but didn’t quite bank on the rave that went on all through the night and into Sunday. I site is perfect for visiting London. We used the train on the Sunday. 10 minute walk. Wouldn’t venture in to the shopping area after dark. We got stopped quite a few time by people asking for money.
