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.

Super Location, Super Site

There isn’t really a whole lot to write, if your used to CAMC sites this is as close to their standard as you will get. The big surprise here is that you’re in one of the biggest cities in Europe and you would never know. It’s so peaceful and quiet, there are parakeets, foxes and the odd squirrel. On a lovely summer day you could sit outside all day and never really know how close you are to the hustle and bustle of the City of London. Now, if your looking at reviews of a campsite in London your probably not looking to read about tranquility, you want to know how close and how easy it is to get to those famous landmarks in the city. Well, due to the new Elizabeth line it takes 5-10 minutes to walk to the train station and another 10 minutes to get to Tottenham Court Road station which is in the west end. There you can access all of central London with a short walk or even shorter bus/underground journey. All in all, its a great site with good facilities for both relaxing and exploring London, highly recommended, we have been multiple times over the last couple of years and I’m sure we will be visiting more in the future.

Drove 231 miles

I entered the reception area to book in at aprrox 15.00 on the 02/08/23. I was greeted by a female member of staff. I told her my name to book in, she then turned and looked out the window and took a look at my van which is a Renault Kangoo Maxi which i have converted myself and includes a side awning. I understand that this is a slightly alternative type of vehicle to say a T5 or larger camper, however it has all the equipment we require to sleep in etc as well as the awning and is more of a micro camper which i use to drive to work. The female member of staff then stated to me that this was not a camper van and was just a small white van and that i could not stay here with that vehicle. I was slightly shocked and stated that it had everything required to camp in. She then started to say that it is just a van and that it needed to have Vents? which i have fitted an air fan. I had requested a hard standing with awing pitch which is appropriate for cars with a roof tent, which i did suggest to the member of staff she replied that i did not have a roof tent, i then asked what's the difference to no reply. As we were talking a Volkswagon T4 entered the park which had no Vents and was only slightly bigger than my van. I then asked why are they allowed in and i am not, again to no answer which indicated to me that there was slight prejudice towards me and my van . The women then demanded to see the rear of my van witnessed by my partner who was sat in the front wondering what on earth was going on. I then opened the rear doors (no Pun intended) to show that i had a sliding bed, electrics and diesel heater all installed in the van. After giving the member of staff a free full tour of my Renault kangoo maxi we then returned to the reception. She stated that the caravan club has strict rules on this type of thing regarding the size of vehicles, i am yet to find these policy's so any direction to these would be of great help. The member of staff continued to go on about the small size of the van and how i should not have booked this pitch or the park. She then said if i were to stay that her big bosses would kick off at her and that they patrol the park but were currently off site. Seeing as the situation was not going to be resolved I asked if i could then have a refund and would then have to seek other accommodation meaning that i would have also missed the Football Game i had purchased tickets for that evening kicking off shortly. The member of staff then said that she could put me in plot 44 which is tucked away and no one could see me parked there such as management. I then entered the park and parked at 44 plot. I don't see how it matters what vehicle i park in the plot as i have still paid the exact same amount of money as someone with a motor home would have done. I booked a hard standing pitch as vehicle are not permitted on the camping field.

 

Comment from the Community Manager:

Thank you for your review. I have shared this review with the appropriate management team. With regards to your outfit, if you can contact the Club with details and images, we can review and confirm suitability for membership, but based on what you describe it sounds suitable. This is in our guidance and available when signing up for membership.  

Vehicles used for accommodation on The Club's Site Network should generally meet the following criteria:

Seats and a table
Sleeping accommodation which may be converted from seats
Cooking facilities
Storage facilities

This equipment should be rigidly fixed to the living compartment; however, the table may be designed to be easily removable. Where these criteria are not met by a given vehicle, it may still be considered acceptable if the following condition is met: The clear intended design and purpose of the vehicle is to provide leisure accommodation use during the course of a recreational holiday.

I hope this helps.

Great for London

Had a lovely two night stay so that we could attend Abba Voyage. The site was busy but not noisy . Wardens were friendly and helpful.

Great site but be careful what you book!

This site is perfect for getting to London with the Elizabeth Line 5-10 minutes walk away. It is a beautiful site too with lots of trees and wildlife. Facilities spotless and lots of peace and quiet. But please note if you book 'Hardstanding without Awning' you will probably get a parking space next to the busiest part of the site (for traffic) which is not level (though it does include an EHU) and it won't be easy to swap pitches. This does remove some of the charm of staying on this site. Otherwise great!

A great site for visiting London, but watch out for the cheeky squirrels

I stayed here for 5 nights with my wife in a VW Campervan and awning. The main purpose of the visit was to attend two Bruce Springsteen shows at BST Hyde Park. it turned out to be ideal for that. The tube station is about a ten min walk from the site. Trains run about every 7 mins direct into central London on the new Elizabeth Line - takes about 30 mins. Last tube back was midnight. I will never stay in an a hotel again for central London. The site is spot on , you wouldn’t believe you were so close to London. Some of the pitches are not completely level and you definitely need long hook-up leads. Plenty of toilet blocks all immaculate as you would expect We were warned about foxes that have a tendency to steal footwear,, but we discovered it’s the squirrels you need to watch out for. We got our awning raided, I made the mistake of leaving some bread out. After this, I placed what thought was all food in the van, but got raided again the next night, I missed some plastic pots of instant porridge, the only damage was a small hole in the inner mesh door

Fabulous Location

This was a perfectly positioned site for exploring London. With the Elizabeth Line being a matter of 5 mins away it’s perfect for getting into London quickly and easily. Spacious plots and a family and dog friendly , quiet site. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough. We will definitely be coming back , and soon I hope
