Would highly recommend- beautiful family run campsite!
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Amazing campsite! This was our second time staying. The owners are super friendly and thoughtful and have really worked hard to think of everything they can to make this campsite relaxing and close to nature.
- Most of the site is left un-mowed as meadow to encourage grasshoppers, butterflies and other pollinators, giving peaceful views and biodiversity, but there is also ample mowed space to find a quiet pitch for your tent.
- Showers and toilets are clean and well stocked, there's a good washing-up area, and even a covered seating area that can be used in bad weather.
- Beautiful woodland attached to the site gives space to explore, and having no cars on the field means it is peaceful and child friendly.
- New features are being added regularly (log seating appeared while we were there!) as the owners have a good vision for comfortable but nature based camping.
- Couple of good pubs in walking distance of the site that both do food, and a small shop for emergency snacks. Dorking a short drive away, as well as Leith Hill and an excellent pub called The Parrot.
Would highly recommend- beautiful family run campsite that we will return to!
Disliked Because large areas of the field are meadowland, there is a lot of insect life - so be prepared for bugs!
