  • 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).

What customers say

A peaceful, tidy spot in lovely country. Spacious spots, easy local walks. Friendly vibe, especially in the social club. Facilities clean but dated; refurb planned. Tranquil, but can get aircraft noise & patchy phone signal. Highly recommended!

Liked This is our absolute favourite place to bring the camper van. Beautiful grounds, great dog walking trails, spotlessly clean toilets and showers. Washing up facilities . Everyone is super friendly, and there is a bar if you fancied a drink. What more could you ask for for!

Disliked There’s nothing not to like.

Mike H. 9 reviews

Powered concrete and grass site

Liked Only 10 Motorhome spots with hookups nicely maintained, friendly, chilled out site owned by Care Ashore. Relaxed environment. Good well stocked fishing lake. Retired seafarers in the bar great to talk to. Japanese Garden.

Disliked Very little - each pitch is separated by a large rock, take care in a larger motorhome although perfectly navigable. Little bit of noise from the nearby race track but not intrusive

From the manager: Hi Mike

Thank you for your fantastic review. We are so pleased you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, fishing lake, bar and unique surroundings here at Springbok Campsite. It is lovely to hear you found the site friendly and well maintained.

We also appreciate your helpful feedback regarding the pitch layout for larger motorhomes. The noise that you heard was from a local farm that was holding a 24hour British Lawnmower Racing Event held over the weekend.

Liked Spacious pitch, lovely views . Nice campsite with use of the Care Ashore social bar. Lovely clean shower shacks but only 2 for the site so we didn’t use them

Disliked No reception on arrival which was off putting. Some aircraft noise

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Judy

Thank you for your lovely review. We are pleased you enjoyed the spacious pitches, views and the use of the Care Ashore social bar. Its great to hear you would visit again.
We are sorry that you found it off putting that we do not have a reception. Springbok operates on a first come, first served pitch basis, there is not always a staffed reception/check-in point, and this information is included in our pre-arrival greeting mail.

Thank you for your comments regarding the aircraft noise - we appreciate all feedback.

We hope to see you back again soon.

Best Wishes
The Springbok Estates Team

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.
