  • Peaceful pitches in the Surrey Hills, 10 minutes' drive from Dorking
  • Box Hill, Leith Hill and Denbies Wine Estate within 20 minutes' drive
  • Lake on site for fishing and waterside walks; dogs and kids welcome
A slice of the slow life in the Surrey Hills National Landscape – sound good? In a rural spot about 10 minutes’ drive from Dorking, Henfold Lakes is a place that’s all about countryside calm and simple pleasures – think long walks, quiet morning coffees in the open air, evenings chatting under the stars, kids scampering about rather than scrolling… This family- and dog-friendly site is tucked away among peaceful woodlands and open countryside on the edge of the National Landscape, putting you within easy reach of lots of gorgeous scenery and walking trails. For a bit more outdoor activity, there’s a fishing lake on site where guests can cast out a rod or take a walk by the water’s edge… or just pick a quiet spot and do nothing, of course. There’s plenty of space to relax at this site, with roomy pitches where you’re welcome to set up various bits of kit like a gazebo, awning and outdoor table. Simple facilities stretch to just toilets and showers; no unnecessary extras to spoil your peace. You’ll be able to pick up snacks, drinks and picnic supplies at the shops and supermarkets in Dorking, and there are a couple of pubs within a five-minute drive for when you fancy eating out.

What customers say

This campsite offers large, level pitches with ample space for dog walking, and has received praise for its friendly and helpful staff. Fishing and scenic walks are highlights. While some recent reviews mention upgraded, clean facilities, older feedback and some August 2026 comments indicated issues with cleanliness and a need for more toilet and shower blocks. The bumpy entrance lane and occasional aircraft noise have also been noted. Building work was ongoing during some stays.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Close to lots of hikes and trails.

Disliked Being close to Gatwick is no joke. By the second night we were more used to the planes taking off but it's still very present.

Electric grass pitch

Liked • Massive pitches so aren’t on top of each other
• Lots of space for dog walks
• Facilities close to our pitch
• Great for kids to run wild and use imagination
• Toilet and shower in one cubicle made things so much easier with kids. Big enough for everything not to get wet whilst showering

Disliked Bathrooms dirty. Not just floors as this is expected when camping but the toilet and sinks.
