The benefit of this site is that there is a beautiful lake at the entrance. However, as others have said, there are then 3 large uninteresting fields beyond where you actually camp.
There appeared to be one toilet block, which had three showers. I found myself queueing outside in a queue of 4 people waiting for the showers, as although not peak season, the site was full. The facilities seem not enough for the size of the site.
The toilet block is closed between 11am and 1pm and with no alternative, you really need to have done all your showering, washing up, etc, before 11am.
We walked for about 1.5 hours along footpaths to get to West Horsley, where there was a dog friendly pub.
Apparently the site is always full for weekends, because of people wanting to fish in the lake, and the managers advised that you must always book and can't just show up.
Others have mentioned the fish and chip van. It comes on a Saturday only, and it takes bookings. So when we came back from our walk at 5.30pm, it had already taken all the bookings for fish and chips and had no fish left. So unless you are a regular and prepared to queue up to book your supper at 4pm, you shouldn't rely on this as a way of getting your supper.
On balance, I probably won't go here again. Even with my C&CC membership card, it was expensive.
We are members of the club and have used many of thier sites, all good until this one. This site is too expensive. The fee just maybe ok if you are given a lake-side pitch but not if you're stuck in the middle of the 'back field'. The site was very busy the toilet/shower block is not enough when the site has so many units/people staying. The location is very good for visiting Wisley Gardens Brooklands etc. The staff we met were friendly and helpful.
Very nice site which is easy to get to off the M25 and A3.
The local village is approx. 1 mile away with a footpath all the way. It has 3 banks, a Post Office and several takeaways including a Chinese, Fish & Chips, and an Indian. There are two small supermarkets, a newsagents and a Bakers.
Approx. 4 miles away, in Byfleet there is a Tesco Extra as well as a very large Marks and Spencer.
Very, very helpful staff who work hard to ensure a good stay.
Limited toilets and showers but very clean and plenty of hot water in the showers, where you can choose the temperature yourself.
Rubbish mobile telephone contact if you are using Orange.
This is a beautiful site and is just off the motorway, we visited this site in June 2006 and we have just re-visited this site again in June 2010.
Lots of lovely wildlife and we were pitched by the lake.
The staff are very helpful and we walked to the train station from the site and caught a train to Guildford. The site is very clean and very well organised.
We were down south to see family and friends and the weather was really hot myself I have a good suntan now.
Really lovely site and location in leafy Surrey. Very pretty with fishing lake. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
The toilets and showers were really clean. The showers were lovely and warm.
There is a fish and chip van in the evening which is such a bonus.
There is a playpark which consists of only two swings and we could have done with a little more to keep the kids occupied, buts its only a small gripe.
Good shop which sell everything you need really. Esp ice cream!
Value for money but we are Camping and Caravan Club members so its a bit cheaper for us. They accept non members.
We have just returned from the early May Bank Holiday weekend at this site.
This a lovely site with a pond at the front of the site, popular with anglers young and old. Around the pond there are several hard standing pitches for caravans and motorhomes, although the access road does run between the pond and the pitches. There are three more fields with hookup with a few hardstanding pitches around the edges.
The main toilet block, laundry and washup was in the central field which also provided space in the middle of the field for tents without electric. A children's play area and recreation hall (with a table tennis table) was in the field to the right. Some tents, without EHU, were also placed in a lovely looking wooded area close to the pond. In addition to the main toilet block. There were more toilet and shower facilities by reception.
The facilities were sufficient, never seeing anyone queuing. There was always hot water (free), toilet paper and soap whenever I used them. They were not very dirty but neither spotless. Although in good working order they did seem drab and basic. There were notices saying the main block was closed 11am to 1pm everyday for cleaning, but perhaps a more regular inspection would have been more beneficial - there were a lot of children on site and frequently toilets weren't flushed and with the wet weather the floors got muddy very quickly.
Something I found very disappointing was the lack of recycling facilities. Plenty of dustbins were available, even free black bin bags were provided, but no recycling at all. No energy saving measures were in place in the toilet block either. All the lights appeared to be left on 24hrs a day - even in the chemical toilet disposal area!
I would have expected better facilities for the price - I think it worked out at about £23 per night for a 4 person tent, two adults (C&CC members) and EHU.
The pitch itself was good, flat and sheltered by trees. Water and bins available close by in the centre of the field. By the end of our stay the field was getting pretty muddy, though a strip of concrete in the field was being made use of for parking which seemed a good idea.
The site manager is very exacting in the instructions for pitching - being told precisely where the corner of our tent had to be and in which direction it must face, although we had a relatively small tent on a big pitch. When the family next to us arrived they were even told to move over 2 foot after they had detached from their car! Apart from that the site staff seemed very friendly.
East Horsley is in walking distance of the site (about 1/2 mile). Budgens mini supermarket stocks all the provisions you'd need. I think I also spotted a cost-cutter, bakery, indian restaurant, sports shop, a library and several cash points. We visited the Chinese restaurant, £15.50 for an all you can eat menu.
Horsley train station is about 20 minutes walk, then 50min by train to London Waterloo (about £8.50 adult single). There are plenty of walks from the site. The Black Swan pub is a mile or so walk north in Martyrs Green, it's what I'd call a Gastro Pub and might have felt out of place sitting inside in my muddy walking gear but, but was lovely outside. The Barley Mow and King William iV in West Horsley, both fantastic typical village pubs serving food.
Guildford is a few miles away for shopping etc. Clandon and Hatchlands National Trust Properties also worth a visit. The surrounding Surrey Countryside is lovely - we did lots of wishful thinking looking at some of the huge gorgeous houses!
Overall a nice site with adequate facilities and plenty to do in easy reach either on foot, car or train. However, I think it was too expensive for what it offered.
Visited the site over the Easter Weekend and in typical fashion we had lots of rain. We had a hard standing for our caravan which did make life easier, a suggestion would be to increase the size of the hardstandings so you can get right around your caravan and awning as the grass was extremely wet and the mud was inches deep and sorting out the aquaroll meant a trip into mud each time.
Over all a great welcome at reception, toilets and showers were great. Plenty of hot water. Staff very helpful. Cleaner is a little strict at times.
Over all we really enjoyed the site and our kids had a good time. Close to Thorpe Park, and easy to get to the main motorway links north and south.
After a long journey, it was nice to be greeted in such a friendly manner. On 1st approach the site looks idyllic, considering we were 1/2 an hour or so from London, this was a beautiful part of the area and quiet too.
We were offered a choice of pitches, most of which are spacious, level and have water points and waste points nearby.
There are 5 separate areas to pitch, in the wooded area (for those with no electric), around the lake (for those with children over 12 or no children), around the children's play area, and 2 quiet paddocks, which we chose, heaven !
Facilities are all immaculate, and the reception/shop stocks the very basics. There are some fantastic dog walks, and a beautiful walk in a conservation area.
We visited London by train, which you can get to from the town of Horsley a couple of miles away, very reasonable prices including parking. We also visited Legoland (very pricey, but they do have free dog kennels which we didn't know and paid a fortune to have ours kennelled).
We stayed for 10 nights and the weather was great, we would definitely return to this site, fantastic !
Great location very quiet and the pitches were well spaced and serviced.
The facilities are modern and well kept, with regular visits from the on site staff to make sure everything was okay.
They staff always had time to stop for a chat if you were in the mood and were always cheerful and helpful.
The children were a little bored as the on site play are is limited but we managed to entertain them before the got too bored.
The main feature of this site is the lake which is well stocked with fish we saw several medium sized Carp caught just walking around and fishermans tales of monster fish were often heard!
Overall a great site to get away from it all and we will definitely be going back.
We stayed here in July for 4 nights. The campsite is well positioned for several outstanding days out, so we used it as a base. The small village down the road has a couple of decent restaurants - particular a fine Indian.
The campsite itself is fine, decent washing facilities and suchlike, and a little light on entertainment for kids. The playground for example is tiny, and the games room has a single table tennis table.
What stood out for me on this site was the level of customer service, which was excellent. One example - the valve on my gas bottle was faulty and the manager agreed to swap my bottle for one that worked, even though I had bought mine in Kent. He didn't have to do this, but it saved me a lot of grief and meant we could BBQ.
Stayed for 1 night on the way to the continent. Quite busy but not noisy, very popular with anglers and convenient for stops off M25. Walked into East horsley village for a fabulous Indian which took about 25 mins but worth it. I wouldn't stay for a week but a cracker for a few nights chilling or a stop over to Dover. Toilet and shower facilities as you would expect. Very good.
First visit to this site and with some trepidation as it had all the ingredients of a disaster in the making. Carp lake, which normally means husbands dumping their wives and kids to go fishing while the latter runs riot. Caravans and camper vans - lots of concrete hard standing and people trollying waste about. Add in the height of the season and changeable weather and it didn't look good.
WRONG - Horsley handled it all very well from the time we arrived to our departure. Helpful staff, toilet block and washing up facilities all good and a nice balance of all types of camping that avoided that overcrowded feeling. This is a big site but has been chopped up in a way that offers something for all types of campers.
Locally there is a lot to do but for us the stand out feature is a walk along the river Wey which is a short drive away. Here you can follow a well defined tow path for a far as you wish past pubs and locks whilst watching the rivers narrow boats chug by.
This is a picturesque site with clean, ample facilities. Helpful staff & good local shops nearby. We enjoyed a walk round a new local nature reserve which can be accessed from a footpath at the rear of the site.
My children enjoyed fishing on the lake & were fascinated by the large flock of ducks that wandered round the site twice a day looking for food.They found the play area uninspiring & didn't use the activity hall because table tennis bats etc had to be loaned from shop which was closed when we wanted them.
I did not feel this site was particularly tranquil, our pitch was in the middle of a small field so I felt very overlooked, also there seemed to be little respect for 11pm noise deadline, I had to get out & ask a neighbour to keep voices down & could hear TV in nearby trailer tent until gone midnight. I feel notices requesting quiet after 11, & a mention in the site rules would be a good idea.
I would consider using this site again but would request a pitch in a more secluded area.
We have been going to this site since June every 2 weeks with my boyfriend and his daughter of 4 years old. Toilet block and shower facilities are great and mostly very clean and even though the children's play area is minimal his daughter loves it. It's in a very nice area and Guildford town for shopping which I love is 15 mins away. There's a few nice pubs which do nice food. There is a large field which you can take your dog on. The fishing lake is good, you can only use bread, luncheon meat and sweetcorn but very easy to catch with this.
