  • 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).

Rachel S.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked I felt really safe here. As a solo female traveller, that's important. It was so peaceful looking out across the fields but not too far from the main house if I'd needed anything.

The bar was nice (and really cheap). It's worth chatting to the residents too. They're all friendly but not too invasive.

The pitches were all really level and well looked after.

I don't normally pay for electric hook up as I have solar so didn't know if mine even worked. I tried it here as it was included and it does work so that's a bonus.

You have your own little area and they don't charge extra for silly things like getting a chair out.

There is an electric shower and the toilets are all really well kept.

The grounds are great for walking and the Japanese garden is really pretty.

I would definitely stay here again. Location is great, really easy to get to and signposted from the road. You feel like you're in the middle of nowhere but there are several towns close by. And of course the downs really close.

Disliked I didn't dislike anything.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Rachel what a great review, and a 10/10 review thank you so much! Your comments are very much appreciated. We do hope you'll visit us again.
Best wishes, the Springbok Estate team.

Well stocked fishing lake. Lots of walks around the area.

Robert N.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked Farm shop and cafe/ restaurant. Surrounding countryside. Location cleanliness of showers and toilets.

Disliked Only 2 toilets and 2 showers combined, one was closed for maintenance for part of our 6 night stay. No shelter from rain, especially for the two washing up sinks with only cold water. Very basic facilities.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your honest feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed the facilities and surroundings.
Noted, we are upgrading and improving facilities around our campsites going forward, and I apologise for the lack of shelter in bad weather, with essential maintenance works required during your stay.
Best wishes, the Springbok Estate.

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.
