  • 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).

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: The pitches were large and accommodating. The shower shacks were great, very hot and very powerful, there is also a toilet block with a single indoor shower. Great washing up facilities. Peaceful and quiet (other than, see below). We cycled for our 3 day stay but there appears to be lots of walks too. Not far from Guildford, Horsham etc if you wanted a town. Cranleigh was really lovely (pricey but pretty) - Sainsbury's in Cranleigh. Very poor data signal for us throughout in the entire area, but not just the site, but hey, who cares - our phones were nice and rested. We are with Vodafone so don't know what other providers are like. We really liked it here and will be returning

Disliked: Absolutely nothing ..... other than, the twatty group of folk who had hired out the glamping field next door for 2 nights. They must have been hard of hearing !!! as their music was loud until around 4am on their 1st night and their children even louder screaming and shouting until almost midnight! Their 2nd night was a bit quieter, with a much earlier finish, maybe they had worn themselves out parting on the Friday night!!! This is absolutely no reflection on the management of Springbok as it is run by a private company but some would be put off going again if it was their first visit and had to encounter such selfish people

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: We have stayed here previously when it was all grass, but the hard standings are a great improvement - although getting awnings pegs in the ground required a pile driver! The site is easy to access and facilities are greatly improved by the addition of a washing up area and cute individual showers. It is a peaceful, calming site with stunning views set on a beautiful estate. From the site there are walking and cycling opportunities as well as stunning woodlands. Shopping opportunities are also within easy reach. We have used this site frequently over the last 20 years and would not hesitate to recommend it.

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.
