  • 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

Lovely, peaceful spot with spacious, tidy pitches and beautiful gardens. Friendly locals and the bar get a shout-out. Facilities are clean but basic; showers can be hit-and-miss with temp and hot water. Great for walks. Good value and many keen to return.

Liked Great little site. Clean and comfortable. Very nice welcome at the clubhouse/bar and lovely walks. Recommended. We didn’t get hot water for a shower. Not sure if we missed something so not prepared to put it down as a negative this time

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
It’s great to hear you found the facilities clean and comfortable, and that you got to enjoy the clubhouse and the surrounding walks.
Not sure what happened with the hot water but glad that it did not put you off our little site.
We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Best wishes from the Springbok Estate Team.

Liked Beautiful location. Well maintained pitches. Reasonable facilities. Only spent 1 night here during a visit to see friends in the area so didn't really get a chance to explore the site properly. We will probably be back and hopefully for longer next time!

Disliked Planes overhead throughout the night. Aerodrome nearby so one of those things. We adjusted to it after a while. Didn't spoil the stay.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Jonathon

Thank you for taking the time out to leave us a review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the location and you was happy with your pitch.

We are approximately 40 minutes away from Gatwick airport, and it is dependent on their flight path and schedules if they pass over Springbok, I am glad to hear that it didn't spoil your stay.

We hope to see you again soon.

Liked We love going to springbok, we usually visit 2/3 times a year and are never disappointed. The pitches are well kept and tidy. The campus is home to retired sea men and when we go to their on site social area you are sure of a warm welcome, at their restaurant you can book a Sunday dinner - it was very good. My husband loves the fishing lake. There are lots of little walks on site and if you are adventurous the surrounding countryside is beautiful. Plenty of hot water in the camp kitchen area to wash your bbqs.

Disliked I have discussed this mute point with the staff who assure me there are plans ahead - the toilets and shower area is very ‘tired’ and the shower tiles need a re grout but they are cleaned every day. Thank you. 😁

From the manager: Dear Susan
Thank you for your 10/10 review and for the wonderful comments. We really do appreciate you taking the time to leave us this review and particularly love that you have been returning to Springbok for so many years... you have definitely seen some changes and the washrooms will be the next to be included on our upgrade program so this will make a welcome improvement to the site.

Look forward to seeing you again soon.

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.
