  • Prettily landscaped park within easy reach of major travel hubs
  • A mile from shops, pubs, restaurants and takeaways at Lingfield
  • Communal firepit in the centre of the site for guests' use
Woof. That’s your dog telling you to book a long, long Lingfield stay: the pitches at family-run Long Acres Caravan and Camping Park are perfectly pet-friendly (though there is a small extra fee for man’s best friend) – and there are lots of options for walkies in the surrounding Surrey countryside too. Whether using Long Acres to be walked by the dog or as a base to see the attractions of Surrey, human campers are also in for a treat at this friendly well-maintained park: there’s a well-stocked tourist information kiosk, firepits to hire, and three spotless centrally heated toilet and shower blocks. For food, Lingfield village – with its shops, pubs, restaurants, takeaways and supermarkets – is a mile away. There's a communal firepit in the centre of the site available for everyone to use: wood can be bought for a small charge.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Staff were lovely, facilities ok but you have to pay additional fee for using showers. Did not like my experience at this campsite due to the location being in direct line with planes landing at Gatwick. Got no peace, no sleep (even with earplugs in) as low-flying planes were overhead literally every minute of the day. It was relentless at night as well! Did not stop, even in the early hours of the morning. I went home tired, frazzled, my anxiety shot to pieces and cannot understand how people put up with this. Made me laugh with the campsite rules about "quiet-time" is in between 10.00 and 6.00 am and if you make excessive noise, you will be asked to leave. Pales into insignificance with the aeroplane noise.....

Disliked: Low flying planes as this camp-site is in the path of Gatwick landings

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Tidy site, with nice separated enclosed areas. Very modern clean toilets. Friendly staff. Good footpath walks to local lake and good pub.

Disliked: 50p needed for a shower - the only coin I did not have. Aircraft noise from nearby Gatwick.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: The chilled environment, the bar by the gate was a great stop off before heading back to the tent, and coffee in the morning whilst waiting for a shower! The pitches were large, comfortable and spacious for our large group, we had a great time, super chilled and away from the massive group of families that turned up for a weekend of games and activities! We had that much fun even the planes didn’t bother us! Basically you’re under the flight path for Gatwick, but her if you’re having fun who cares and they didn’t bother us!

Disliked: The mess left by other campers when they all left the same day! Makes me sad that they have to drive past the bins and can’t be bothered!

Liked: Großer Campingplatz im Grünen, gute Möglichkeiten um mit dem Hund zu laufen.

Disliked: Der Fluglärm ist aufgrund der Einflugschneise extrem, auch sind die Toiletten und Duschen zu manchen Tageszeiten nicht besonders sauber.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Stayed here for 2 nights this June, we were lucky enough to have lovely weather. We camped non electric in the hayfields which has large individual pitches, giving you privacy and plenty of space. The toilets and shower blocks were all extremely clean, and very modern. The top shower block is perfect for families and very accessible, with bathroom-like cubicles. One thing to be aware of is the location of the site, you are under flight path of Gatwick, so planes can be loud up until about 11pm and starting again from about 5:30am. Personally this was the best aspect for us as aviation lovers! The town is a 5 minute drive and has everything you need. Staff were lovely too, very helpful. We will be back, Couldn’t recommend this site enough. 😊

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: The lovely staff member who called to work out our check in as reception was about to close - really polite and informative, The hay field set up.

Disliked: Having to pay 50p for a shower, The other noisy campers with kids playing and shouting til 10pm, The sounds of the planes from Gatwick which we found very intrusive. Not a good location for a campsite.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Loved this campsite. The lovely natural surroundings meant there was always something for the kids to be exploring - the stream, woodland walks etc. the nice flat grass pitches meant that tent pitching was easy and comfortable. Great amenities - neat and tidy. A well run campsite

Local attractions

Don’t lose your head with the huge range of historical highlights in the area, starting with 13th-century Hever Castle (15 minutes' drive), the childhood home of Anne Boleyn (boo to Henry Eighth) and with award-winning gardens, water maze with a mind of its own and what will probably be the fave of the kids – a 13th-century gatehouse with historical instruments of execution and torture. Standen (15 minutes), a National Trust property at nearby East Grinstead, has a hillside setting around an arts and crafts house with work by William Morris. Gardens more your thing? Wander around the world woodlands at Wakehurst (20 minutes), managed by the Royal Gardens at Kew and the setting for much of Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of As You Like It, or take a look at Wisley (35 minutes), the flagship garden of the Royal Horticultural Society. Horses? You’ll like Lingfield Park Racecourse, one of only five all-weather racecourses in the country, with race meetings all year round. Or how about other types of beasties – Surrey is stuffed with animal parks, wildlife centres and farms: Lingfield’s British Wildlife Centre (five minutes) with 40 native species, Farnham’s Birdworld (an hour) and the farm park Hobbledown (35 minutes) for starters – or the zoo and Sea Life Centre at Chessington World of Adventures (35 minutes). Not that a visit to the racecourse coincides with this, but if you’re looking for free things to do around Long Acres and in Surrey, again the area is stuffed with options including walks among the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and chalky North Downs, drooling with envy at Mercedes Benz World or learning about Lewis Carroll at Guildford Museum.
