  • Peaceful farm site at the south of the Surrey Hills National Landscape
  • A 20-minute drive from Horsham; half an hour from the South Downs
  • Farm produce for sale on site; small firepits permitted on site
You're free to pick any spot that takes your fancy at Etherley Farm, a roomy farm site at the very south of the Surrey Hills National Landscape. Around an hour and a half's drive south of London, this is a pretty handy location indeed, 20 minutes' drive away from Horsham and the High Weald National Landscape and half an hour from the South Downs National Park. The site has basic facilities including water, individual showers and a toilet block, but no electric hook-ups. Although the poultry farm at Etherley isn't open to visitors, it's a different matter for guests, who can bag some of its mouthwatering produce for their barbecue: chicken, burgers and sausages are all on sale (just drop the owners a line stating what you’d like when you book). Small fires are welcome on site, but only on previously burnt areas and a safe distance away from neighbours or tents. You can't take any wood from the surrounding National Trust woodland, so instead the site sells bags of logs from their local produce shop. Alternatively, bring your own, ensuring it's free from nails and screws.

Andrew H.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked We had a fantastic stay at this campsite and would happily return. The open field offers loads of space, which made it feel relaxed and perfect for families. We especially loved being able to have a fire and cook outdoors with the kids – it really added to the camping experience.

Having the car parked right next to the tent was incredibly convenient and made unloading and packing so much easier. The nearby The Parrot was excellent, and we really appreciated the lovely woodland walk to get there rather than having to use the road, which felt much safer with children.

The location is ideal for hiking and exploring the surrounding area. The toilets and showers were spotless throughout our stay, and the farm shop was brilliant – such a great bonus to have on site. Overall, a wonderful campsite in a perfect setting.
