  • Dogs welcome and direct access to walks; pub 15 minutes’ walk
When all you want is peace and lots of countryside in which to wander, the answer is simple: make a beeline for Draysey Woods Nature Escape. This small family pop-up site sits on a farm 10 minutes’ walk from Ockley in the Surrey Hills National Landscape – it’s not a place to head for if you’re after entertainment and lots of music; this is a quiet site providing simple pleasures like long rambles through the fields and dog walks in woodland. The camping field is level and backed by trees; there’s masses of room for family games of football and general running around. Handy facilities include hot showers and clean flushable toilets, washing-up sinks, picnic tables and an under-cover games area. Near the site you can scramble up Leith Hill (15 minutes’ drive) to its landmark tower and absorb views across the Surrey hills to the South Downs National Park (10 minutes). There are also lots of National Trust properties for you to discover in about half an hour’s drive, and when you’ve had your fill of local heritage, there is a pub 15 minutes’ stroll away and several others within 15 minutes by car.
