  • 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: Beautiful quite area with nice walks and woodlands nearby. Clubhouse was great and everyone really friendly, there was also a massive TV showing the football. WiFi available in clubhouse. Shop stocked with essentials we forgot to bring toothpaste and was able to buy some onsite. My kids were also very happy they sold ice creams. We liked it so much we wanted to stay another 2 nights but sadly was fully booked.

Disliked: Male toilets were mostly clean but did have a drain/sewage smell when you walked in. A decent air freshener would be welcomed.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay wasn’t quite what you were hoping for.

Just to clarify for future guests – our shower facilities are open and available, and we also provide a kitchen area in a separate shed, which includes two sinks and hot water for washing up. Additionally, we have an onsite bar and shop offering drinks, snacks, and essentials, which many guests enjoy during their stay.

We understand that our simple, back-to-nature camping experience isn’t for everyone, and we appreciate you giving it a try. Wishing you all the best in your future travels!

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Great location, excellent electric pitches, spotlessly clean and well equipped amenities. The social club bar and store in the main house were major pluses, and the residents and staff were really, really friendly. Fab walks with the dog direct from campsite.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike !

Lynne M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: This is a beautiful well maintained site with glorious views of the Surrey countryside. It is quite basic in the facilities- but they are clean and absolutely fine to use. However, the pitches are well laid out with easy access to water and hook up. The grey and black disposal is nearby as well. This is a tranquil site with no staff breathing down your neck for minor perceived infractions, you don't even have to book in, its all taken care of at the time of booking! Bare in mind it is a working farm and care facility so there is the occasional tractor rumbling about but it doesn't detract from the overall peace and quiet. It was very windy when we were there, so a sturdy windbreak may be in order and on very hot days you would need a parasol or roll-out sunshade as there are no trees on the pitches for shade. This is definitely one we are planning to return to as soon as possible. We also watched Kites (the bird) surfing thermals all afternoon. Just fabulous to see.

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.
