Why stay here ...

The Abbey Wood Club Campsite 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 campsite'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 site. Alternatively, nearby Greenwich offers its own blend of fascinating attractions, including the famous observatory and National Maritime Museum.

Open to caravans, motorhomes and campers, the site caters for all tourers and is a great option for those seeking a city break. The site itself is ideal for families, with plenty facilities on-site to make your stay a comfortable one.

River cruises operate from nearby Abbey Wood Club Campsite 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.

Another nice stay at this site

We visit this site often because it is close to family. This is our first visit since February (and since Covid) so there was some apprehension but there was nothing to worry about. The site was very quite (due I think to the lack of foreign visitors) but was still well maintained, kept clean and secure. The Wardens who look after the site were friendly, helpful and make you feel very welcome and maintain a good balance between making your stay enjoyable and ensuring you understand the rules around keeping people safe from Covid. We will be visiting again soon and have no concerns now about Covid Security.

Great access to central London

Abbey Wood is set in an urban area in the fringes of East London, subsequently it’s a 25min overland train to London Bridge. This mean access to central London is very easy, including direct bus routes to Greenwich. The nearby train station is much improved since our last visit in 2014 (Oyster cards accepted). The site itself remains well cared for with the usual high standards of cleanliness in the facilities. Having visited Crystal (car park) Palace site last year...Abbey Wood is our preferred option when visiting the capital.

Another lovely visit.

We have just returned from Abbey Wood site having stayed for five nights. All the wardens are very friendly and helpful, the site is very well kept and the facilities spotless. We visited our son and also went into central London choosing to use the Thames Uber Clipper boat from Woolwich Arsenal Pier to central London very convenient. If it wasn’t for Covid 19 we would have used the tube or bus very convenient from this site. Central London was really quiet and we felt very safe. We will definitely be returning. Fantastic job being done by Steph,Chris and all the team at Abbey wood.

Another very good stay

Once again, we found ourselves at Abbey Wood, predominately to be able to visit nearby family, but also for access to London. As ever, the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful and they maintain the site to a very high standard. Local buses are efficient and the trains provide easy access into the city. This time we discovered Lesnes Abbey - what an interesting place and it is a lovely landscaped area for a local walk, very close to the site. We look forward to our next visit.

Very well maintained and managed

A very well appointed parkland site with immaculate facilities. Yes the surrounding area is grotty but it’s east London! On site you are very safe and the site Is peaceful, It’s actually hard to believe you are in London. Greenwich is a 20 minute drive and a beautiful place to visit, obviously central London is close by train too. We stayed during COVID and we were impressed at the sensible approach of the wardens. Look out for the warden couple, don’t know there names, she is from Liverpool and he is tall bald funny man, they made our stay great, thank you. The squirrels are entertaining and foxes love a pair of shoes... seriously don’t leave shoes in the awning! A well managed site with good serviced pitches and very clean facilities, we will be back.
