Apsalutly ideal location for jumping into London, the elizabeth line is a 5 min walk down the hill, fantastic to find a quiet spot with colourful birds and somewhere to relax

Lovely little camping cabin. Note there's electricity but not water supply. "Bed" not amazing. Was relieved I could get into site late and out early (key fob says gates closed 22:00-8:00). Friendly staff, friendly fellow campers. Nice spacious showers. Really near Abbey Wood station so great for my commute (!)

Lovely site with lots of trees and parakeets ! The pod was lovely too just about big enough, bed not so comfortable tbh far too hard and springy for adults, ok for a few days, shower was good, very cosy at night looking out, When the bed was pulled down the side alcoves were very dusty and dirty, loo seat was loose, easy to miss I guess but not good all the same. Staff were friendly, easy access to London, no where to eat really so bring your own food & drinks
