  • 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 campsite offers spacious, level pitches in a peaceful countryside setting with lovely views. Visitors appreciate the friendly staff and residents, the on-site bar and shop, and the numerous walking opportunities. Facilities are generally clean and well-maintained, with shower shacks being a highlight for many. Some guests noted that facilities are basic and could benefit from an upgrade, and mobile signal is weak. Despite minor points, the site is highly recommended for a relaxing break.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Just got back from a fantastic stay at Springbok Campsite and I can’t fault it. The whole site is clean, well-kept and full of things to do. We had showers and decent toilets (I’ll be taking my own loo roll next time just in case), plus plenty of entertainment on-site – a bar with a dart board, table tennis, giant Jenga, dominoes and pool. There’s also a lovely fishing lake, an enclosed garden and a koi pond which was a nice surprise.

We took our own little “kitchen in a box” which made cooking easy, but the real stand-out was the atmosphere. The staff in the shop and behind the bar were genuinely friendly and welcoming – it made all the difference.

Cheap to stay, everything we needed was right there, and the kids were entertained from morning to night. Highly recommend and we’ll be booking again!

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Peaceful, beautifully presented site in a lovely setting.

Disliked Beware the SatNav- it sent us down a very narrow dead end with the same road name as the road the site is in. We had to turn the van around with the motor mover!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for the 10/10 review. We are glad you had a great stay and apologises that your satnav didn't take you initially onto the main entrance route in, at least we got you all here in one piece with my minute by minute scenic directions!
Best wishes, the Springbok Estate team.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Lovely and quiet, well laid out, peaceful small site with nice views, the japanese garden was a benefit. Played some pub games in the bar at night, bar was very reasonably priced. Bathrooms were pretty clean. Would be a good site to explore from by car, local walks available but not much around.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked It wasn’t too big and the pitches were well spaced. We liked that the site was a charity and we did go up to the main house to use the small shop and the games room which was part of a resident home which was quaint. We also walked around the gardens and used the showers which were good. Toilet block was clean and not too far from the pitch.

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.
