  • 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

Good value, plenty of space, friendly staff. Guests liked the clean, updated facilities & big, flat pitches for walking dogs & fishing. Minor issues with plane noise, duck droppings & loo lights, but overall a good experience. Handy for shops & sights.

Unpowered grass site

Liked The campsite was a great find and great price.
Lots of space to choose from and the staff were very welcoming and helpful.
Definitely visit again if in the area.
Overall the dislikes did not ruin the 2 night stay.
Not too far from Chessington and 15 minute drive to local town where there is lidl, sainsburys and other shops. Staff assisted with the nearest shops.
Great for fishing.
Clean site and facilities.

Disliked The aeroplanes disrupted sleep 😴 (unfortunately, it's near to the airport, so can't be helped).
One set of guests did not follow all dogs must be on leads, and they were very large dogs.
Portaloo toilet not overly great as no lighting.

Local attractions

The Surrey Hills National Landscape is packed with outdoor options – intrepid hikers and cyclists can tackle trails at Box Hill and Leith Hill (both 20 minutes’ drive) while watersports enthusiasts sign up for paddle activities with The Surrey Hills Adventure Company (15 minutes) and golfers play a round at Dorking Golf Club (five minutes). There are plenty of less active options around too – perhaps take a vineyard tour at Denbies Wine Estate (10 minutes), learn a bit about beer at Dorking Brewery (five minutes) or wander around National Trust - Leith Hill Place (15 minutes). The Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden (15 minutes) is a top spot for art lovers, with Gatwick Aviation Museum (10 minutes) also close by for flight enthusiasts. Looking a little further afield, you could throw in trips to the gorgeous gardens at Nymans (25 minutes) and Kew Wakehurst (35 minutes), woodland walks in Winnie-the-Pooh’s home at Ashdown Forest (45 minutes) or a treat for the kids at Chessington World of Adventures (25 minutes).
