  • Family-run farm campsite with access to the North Downs Way
  • Half a mile from Seale; Guildford a 10-minute drive
  • Off-grid site with gas barbecue for communal use
If ‘secluded but certainly not isolated’ sounds like the sort of location that’s just right for you, take a look at Waggoners Campsite at Hampton Estate. This family-run site is surrounded by scenic Surrey countryside, and yet it’s a mere half-mile from the little village of Seale and only a little further from the A31. All is peaceful and pretty at this site – pitches are part of a large field fringed by woodland, and they have stunning views over the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The staff here make an extra effort to create a friendly camping experience, with an emphasis on space, seclusion and escapism. This environmentally conscious spot also tries to minimise its impact on the planet, with green solutions like hand-made compost loos and cold wild woodland showers. The whole place is off grid so it might be a good idea to bring a torch along. Barbecues are permitted for alfresco cooking, and you may be able to make use of the communal gas-fired barbecue. Fancy seeing some more of that lovely countryside? There are direct links to the North Downs Way and Surrey Cycleway trails from here, and several good places to take the dog for a walk nearby too. If the kids aren’t into all that walking, they may like to know that both Thorpe Park and Chessington World of Adventures are a little over half an hour’s drive away.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Very good alternative camping. Must say at 70 I gave the cold shower a miss. All clean and updated several times daily by Sophie who was very helpful.

Disliked: Only one thing I would improve and that would be some very modest landscaping to allow a flatter place where possible for those in tents.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Scene was lovely … A3 almost sounded like waterfalls at times, almost wild vibes with few almost luxury elements like the toilet / showers.

Disliked: Large groups - although nice to see groups allowed this came with lots of kids which was nice but also very loud in the day

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Location, plenty of walking. The composting toilets took a bit of getting used to but they were cleaned out frequently and didn't get smelly or unpleasant.

Disliked: Noise from dual carriageway (will remember my earplugs next time)

Local attractions

If you need a quick way to stretch your legs, start with a stroll on Puttenham Common or take a walk into Seale for a craft shop and tea room – either one will take you about 15 minutes on foot. A little further afield, you could also take a wander around the ruins of Waverley Abbey or the colourful pathways of Tilford Cottage Garden (both 15 minutes’ drive). Getting a glimpse of the past might involve an outing to the Rural Life Living Museum (20 minutes) or going into Guildford (15 minutes) to see the castle and Guildford House before stopping by at Loseley Park on the return journey. None of those quite what you’re in the mood for? How about a round at Farnham Park Golf Course (15 minutes), a day of thrill rides at Thorpe Park or exploring the theme park, zoo and aquarium at Chessington World of Adventures? Both are a little over a half-hour drive away.
