What customers say
This is a pretty, quiet campsite with a strong focus on nature and family-friendliness. Guests consistently praise the extremely clean toilets and hot showers, as well as the friendly and helpful owners. The site offers numerous activities for children, including table tennis and a stage area, and has spacious pitches. A communal area with a fridge and seating is a handy addition. Some visitors noted that due to the no-cars-on-pitch policy, wheelbarrows are essential, and more of these would be beneficial. The site also uses natural meadow areas which, while lovely for wildlife, means more insects. Recycling facilities were temporarily unavailable but are being reviewed.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Absolutely loved Draysey Woods camp site. Very peaceful and such a beautiful little site. Toilets and showers are ok, not the best I have ever experienced but then certainly not the worse. Draysey woods had a great trail to walk around vann lake. Very friendly owners and would definitely stay here again.
Disliked No hot water in wash up area and fridge freezer certainly needs a clean.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Clean toilets and clean hot showers , friendly owners, beautiful setting, fire pit, communal area, no cars on actual campsite policy, wildlife (we heard a Tawny Owl at night and saw many bugs, birds, beetles and butterflies) and friendly goats.
Disliked The rain! (Obviously not in the site’s control!)

Great campsite. Fuss free, lots to do and run by a lovely family.
Bell tent (basic)
Liked Beautiful place. Lots to do for kids and felt confident for my tween to go off on an adventure across the field. I was surprised how much there was to do for kids, and particularly tweens, which was a bonus. Table tennis, badminton, there's a stage, and backstage-den area, giant logs to climb and pretend to be knights. Really nice place. I think we had the best location on the site. We had a bell tent at the top of the hill with stunning vista. Loads of space on our area. Good firepit which can also be used as a barbeque. Lovely solar lights inside. And picnic table next to tent. Great spot to watch the swallows catch dinner. The toilets and showers were very clean and comfortable, although showers handheld. Good separate social area. There is lots of long grass so do bring trousers to run through it and stay safe from ticks. They also sell wood and firelighters in case you need them. Excellent communication. Easy to walk or cycle to pretty town nearby, with a pub that's great for drinks. (Has a few games including pool and climbing frame). There are also pretty paths and lanes to walk through. Will definitely be back with a big group.

Lovely friendly family run site!
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely and clean ablution facilities, well sign posted, Table-tennis, Badminton and football games on site, the kettle and fridge/freezer super handy in the communal area, washing up facilities are great. Woodland walk at the edge of the campsite and plenty of pubs in the Surrey hills.

10/10 will be back!
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Really enjoyed this campsite! Showers were definitely one of if not the best showers we’ve experienced while camping, hot, clean and powerful. The pitch size and layouts very good. Woods at the bottom of the field were loved by the dogs. The hosts were very friendly (Charlie and Hayley) phoned last minute to add an additional night and they sorted us out! Gave us good information about local attractions. Very well kept campsite.
Disliked Wheelbarrowing your gear down to your pitch wasn’t a bad thing but enjoy the exercise before you pitch!

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Clean loos and showers. Communal area with fridge, ping pong & seating. Pretty & quiet.
Disliked The only downside is you can't park next to your tent, so lugging your kit a couple of hundred metres may be a problem for some (although wheelbarrows are provided).
