  • Prettily landscaped park within easy reach of major travel hubs
  • Within an hour's drive of London and Brighton; Gatwick 15 minutes
  • Communal firepit in the centre of the site for guests' use
Woof. That’s your dog telling you to book a long, long Lingfield stay: the pitches at family-run Long Acres Caravan and Camping Park are perfectly pet-friendly (though there is a small extra fee for man’s best friend) – and there are lots of options for walkies in the surrounding Surrey countryside too. Whether using Long Acres to be walked by the dog or as a base to see the attractions of Surrey, human campers are also in for a treat at this friendly well-maintained park: there’s a well-stocked tourist information kiosk, firepits to hire, and three spotless centrally heated toilet and shower blocks. For food, Lingfield village – with its shops, pubs, restaurants, takeaways and supermarkets – is a mile away. There's a communal firepit in the centre of the site available for everyone to use: wood can be bought for a small charge.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its spacious pitches, very clean and modern toilet/shower facilities, and friendly, helpful staff. The location is noted as good for local walks and attractions. However, a significant drawback for many is the constant, low-flying aircraft noise due to its position under the Gatwick flight path. Some also mentioned paying for showers and a lack of a central shop.

Liked Lovely campsite, we had a nice size pitch as we didn't need hook up. Showers are 50p but nice and hot.
Loved watching the aircraft flying overhead.We were only going to stop one night as we were travelling up the east coast but booked an extra night

Disliked Not alot of shade in middle of field, not a problem for us as we have a sun canopy

Elizabeth T.

Shepherd's hut

Liked The hut was nice

Disliked Very crowded, the hut is extremely close to the hut next to it and on the busy path, so we had streams of people walking past the hut while eating. Might work for you if you enjoy crowds or if you had a large group and booked multiple huts. The hut was not cheap to hire, so the charge for the showers seemed unreasonable, as we could have hired a cute flat on abnb for the same price

Hayley A.

Electric grass pitch

Liked A very beautiful camp site. The grounds are well maintained with excellent shower and toilet facilities.
We had a great time here and the children were able to freely explore the woods and stream. We were lucky to have extra space for a game of Kubb and cricket.
The on-site shop and snack truck sold ice-creams which were needed in the sunshine.
The staff were very friendly. Our tents were pitched opposite the park. We had issues with older children hanging out in the park at 11/12pm swearing and being very noisy. They were staying in the tree houses. Despite telling them to stop swearing and be quiet, this didn't make a difference. Emails were sent out the next day, to remind guests of the rules and 10pm is quiet time. Unfortunately, this didn't make a difference.
It may be a good idea, if a member of staff did a drive through at 10pm to ensure all guests were abiding by the rules.
Despite, this small issue it did not ruin or dampen our weekend. We all had a fabulous time.

Disliked This camp site is next to Gatwick airport and you do get low planes flying above every couple of minutes. This can-not be helped but the planes are very loud and continue to fly through-out the night.
I advise people to pack ear-plugs so you are not disturbed during the night.

Sarah K.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The dogs walks and Bridles paths. The pub in walking distance. The size of the boys were generous. The bar onsite was fairly priced.

Disliked Lack of basic items in the onsite shop. Screaming kids at 8am on a Sunday morning. Kids playing is lovely, but screaming uncontrollably is not ok. Smelly shower blocks which were too far from the Hayfield and half the site was a building site with random businesses on which gave it a rough feel. Not bad, but not for us.

The WiFi is chargeable.

Local attractions

Don’t lose your head with the huge range of historical highlights in the area, starting with 13th-century Hever Castle (15 minutes' drive), the childhood home of Anne Boleyn (boo to Henry Eighth) and with award-winning gardens, water maze with a mind of its own and what will probably be the fave of the kids – a 13th-century gatehouse with historical instruments of execution and torture. Standen (15 minutes), a National Trust property at nearby East Grinstead, has a hillside setting around an arts and crafts house with work by William Morris. Gardens more your thing? Wander around the world woodlands at Wakehurst (20 minutes), managed by the Royal Gardens at Kew and the setting for much of Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of As You Like It, or take a look at Wisley (35 minutes), the flagship garden of the Royal Horticultural Society. Horses? You’ll like Lingfield Park Racecourse, one of only five all-weather racecourses in the country, with race meetings all year round. Or how about other types of beasties – Surrey is stuffed with animal parks, wildlife centres and farms: Lingfield’s British Wildlife Centre (five minutes) with 40 native species, Farnham’s Birdworld (an hour) and the farm park Hobbledown (35 minutes) for starters – or the zoo and Sea Life Centre at Chessington World of Adventures (35 minutes). Not that a visit to the racecourse coincides with this, but if you’re looking for free things to do around Long Acres and in Surrey, again the area is stuffed with options including walks among the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and chalky North Downs, drooling with envy at Mercedes Benz World or learning about Lewis Carroll at Guildford Museum.
