  • Spacious pitches at a 260-acre Surrey estate near Cranleigh
  • A 15-minute drive to Winkworth Arboretum; 40 minutes to the coast
  • Fishing and social club on site; profits support local charity
A holiday for yourselves, and you get to do good for others at the same time? It’s a win-win situation when you stay at Springbok Campsite, part of a secluded estate on the border of Surrey and West Sussex. The estate is run as a charity that provides accommodation and support for former seafarers, and any profits made by the campsite will be fed back into providing services for the residents. Concerned you may have to sacrifice certain facilities in order to support this worthy cause? Not a bit of it – this is a lovely site that’s part of a 260-acre estate made up of farmland, forest and formal gardens. You’ll be able to take walks around at your leisure, perhaps stopping in at the pretty walled garden or picking up a day pass for some fishing on the one-acre lake. Dog-friendly pitches here are spacious and fuss-free, and have access to basic shower and toilet facilities, plus a camp kitchen/washing-up shack. Guests are also welcome to stop in for a drink at the on-site social club. Barbecue evenings at your pitch are permitted too, if you’d like – there are shops 10 minutes’ drive away in Cranleigh for all the bits you’ll need. (Please note that barbecues must be raised off the ground and disposed of responsibly once they have cooled down.) If a country walk and pub are musts on your rural break, you’ll be pleased to hear that both are on hand – in fact, you could combine both with a stroll to one of the hostelries within a 30/45-minute walk. For other outings nearby you’ll have a choice of heading north to the Surrey Hills, west to the South Downs National Park or south to the coast (about 40 minutes away).

What customers say

This is a peaceful, well-maintained site set in beautiful countryside, offering spacious pitches and convenient access to local walks. Visitors frequently praise the friendly atmosphere, particularly in the social club where residents are welcoming. Facilities are generally clean and adequate, though some reviews note they are dated and in need of updating, with ongoing refurbishment plans mentioned. The rural location provides tranquility, though some note occasional aircraft noise and limited mobile signal. Overall, a highly recommended and frequently revisited site.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked This is our absolute favourite place to bring the camper van. Beautiful grounds, great dog walking trails, spotlessly clean toilets and showers. Washing up facilities . Everyone is super friendly, and there is a bar if you fancied a drink. What more could you ask for for!

Disliked There’s nothing not to like.

Mike H. 9 reviews

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Only 10 Motorhome spots with hookups nicely maintained, friendly, chilled out site owned by Care Ashore. Relaxed environment. Good well stocked fishing lake. Retired seafarers in the bar great to talk to. Japanese Garden.

Disliked Very little - each pitch is separated by a large rock, take care in a larger motorhome although perfectly navigable. Little bit of noise from the nearby race track but not intrusive

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Mike

Thank you for your fantastic review. We are so pleased you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, fishing lake, bar and unique surroundings here at Springbok Campsite. It is lovely to hear you found the site friendly and well maintained.

We also appreciate your helpful feedback regarding the pitch layout for larger motorhomes. The noise that you heard was from a local farm that was holding a 24hour British Lawnmower Racing Event held over the weekend.

Local attractions

If you like a good garden visit on your break, you’ve come to the right spot – it won’t take long at all to reach the likes of the National Trust gardens at 121-acre Winkworth Arboretum (15 minutes’ drive) and Nymans (35 minutes), with woodlands, a lake and natural play areas. The colourful Ramster Gardens (15 minutes) and pretty Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens (35 minutes) are certainly worth adding to the list too. If you’ve brought the kids along, a trip to Fishers Farm Park (15 minutes) may well be on the cards for tractor rides, mini golf, treetop trails, pony rides and lots of animals to meet (plus indoor play areas in case of dodgy weather). You might also like to see the big birds at Surrey Hills Falconry (20 minutes) or hit the beach in Worthing (40 minutes). No kids in your party? A day at Denbies Wine Estate (35 minutes) might appeal instead then – you can sign up for tours and tastings here, and there’s a lovely restaurant too.
