  • Spacious pitches at a 260-acre Surrey estate near Cranleigh
  • A 15-minute drive to Winkworth Arboretum; 40 minutes to the coast
  • Fishing and social club on site; profits support local charity
A holiday for yourselves, and you get to do good for others at the same time? It’s a win-win situation when you stay at Springbok Campsite, part of a secluded estate on the border of Surrey and West Sussex. The estate is run as a charity that provides accommodation and support for former seafarers, and any profits made by the campsite will be fed back into providing services for the residents. Concerned you may have to sacrifice certain facilities in order to support this worthy cause? Not a bit of it – this is a lovely site that’s part of a 260-acre estate made up of farmland, forest and formal gardens. You’ll be able to take walks around at your leisure, perhaps stopping in at the pretty walled garden or picking up a day pass for some fishing on the one-acre lake. Dog-friendly pitches here are spacious and fuss-free, and have access to basic shower and toilet facilities, plus a camp kitchen/washing-up shack. Guests are also welcome to stop in for a drink at the on-site social club. Barbecue evenings at your pitch are permitted too, if you’d like – there are shops 10 minutes’ drive away in Cranleigh for all the bits you’ll need. (Please note that barbecues must be raised off the ground and disposed of responsibly once they have cooled down.) If a country walk and pub are musts on your rural break, you’ll be pleased to hear that both are on hand – in fact, you could combine both with a stroll to one of the hostelries within a 30/45-minute walk. For other outings nearby you’ll have a choice of heading north to the Surrey Hills, west to the South Downs National Park or south to the coast (about 40 minutes away).

Lovely laid-back site with spotless pitches and gardens. Bar's a hit. Some find facilities a bit basic, but peaceful location and good value for money make people want to come back.

Esther F.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked I loved the location and views of surrounding fields and Estate, it was quiet as it was November. The toilets were clean and well kept. We were able to walk directly to Sidney Wood which provided lots of route options for our dogs.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Esther

Thank you for the 10/10 review and for taking the time to leave your comments.
Sidney Woods is a wonderful place for a dog walk - the beauty is that you have the main path that does a big loop of the woods but you can go off and follow the little tracks through the woodlands and if you are lucky you get to see the wildlife. Sidney Woods is especially lovely in the spring when the bluebells are out.

We hope to see you again soon.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Great site, clean toilets and showers and heated in winter months, very peaceful and the residential home for the old seafarers that you can use drinks are very competitive in price, they will do a full English breakfast or a roast on Sunday but you must give 24 hours notice, breakfast lovely but roast over priced for what you get.

Local attractions

If you like a good garden visit on your break, you’ve come to the right spot – it won’t take long at all to reach the likes of the National Trust gardens at 121-acre Winkworth Arboretum (15 minutes’ drive) and Nymans (35 minutes), with woodlands, a lake and natural play areas. The colourful Ramster Gardens (15 minutes) and pretty Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens (35 minutes) are certainly worth adding to the list too. If you’ve brought the kids along, a trip to Fishers Farm Park (15 minutes) may well be on the cards for tractor rides, mini golf, treetop trails, pony rides and lots of animals to meet (plus indoor play areas in case of dodgy weather). You might also like to see the big birds at Surrey Hills Falconry (20 minutes) or hit the beach in Worthing (40 minutes). No kids in your party? A day at Denbies Wine Estate (35 minutes) might appeal instead then – you can sign up for tours and tastings here, and there’s a lovely restaurant too.
