What customers say
This campsite offers spacious, well-maintained pitches in a beautiful, peaceful rural setting. Guests appreciated the friendly atmosphere, particularly in the social club bar, and the opportunity for walks. While facilities are generally clean, some noted they are basic or dated, and occasional issues with hot water or signage were mentioned. Improvements are planned, and many guests expressed a desire to return.

Anonymous Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Lovely surroundings in a peaceful location. Big EHU pitches with large grassy area next to each pitch.
Clean loos, not too far from the pitches.
Didn't use the washing up point or Elsan but it's nice to have them.
Disliked The EHU area is used by tents as well as motorhomes, with tent campers pitching on the grass and parking on the hard standing. Tents are therefore very close to nextdoor campervans in this setup. If we came again we'd probably avoid an EHU pitch knowing that it's mixed with tents and book in the field instead, albeit there's quite a slope in parts of the field.
As others have already said, there needs to be more loos for the number of pitches.
We hoped to have a hot breakfast in the Careashore building but we were told we needed to book it in advance. It would have been helpful to have been told this in the campsite info.

A very enjoyable stay with good and helpful comms with site manager.
Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Excellent location in attractive grounds. Peaceful, with well organised and spacious hard standing pitches. Loos and shower block impeccably clean. WiFi would be wonderful! Would definitely return.
Disliked Ideally the site should have more showers and loos (only one shower and 2 loos for each sex at present.
A more accessible water source and a drive-over drainage point for motorhomes grey water would be very helpful. (There is a drain in the turning point area outside the site but it is partially blocked).
The current access point for wheeled grey water requires the heavy container to be lifted up over the surround to empty it

From the manager: Thank you for leaving us a review.
We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the lovely grounds and made good use of the bar area during your stay.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the showers and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We will look into this to ensure they are working as expected.
As a rural campsite, mobile signal can be limited, and while we do provide WiFi, this is available in the Main House rather than across the pitches to help preserve the peaceful setting.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Overall a great location for some peace & quiet
Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Stunning views, quiet, lovely walks and woodland. Close to Cranleigh with a nice selection of little shops and cafes
Disliked Very difficult to put pegs into the handstands and still minimal investment in toilets and showers, which are clean but extremely worn. Not a problem if you have your own facilities

Would return, really enjoyed our stay!
Anonymous Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Well maintained pitches and grounds in beautiful countryside. Great dog friendly clubhouse. There was a fantastic band there one evening, with a good value bar!
Good walks close by.
Disliked During a busy tent season I doubt there would be enough toilet facilities for families. 2 ladies loo's, 2 mens and 1 disabled. Clean but old with a few spiders.
1 shower and only 1 sink in each block.
However they have added 2 outside shower shacks which were great!
