About Etherley Farm
This back to basics campsite is the perfect location for enjoying a peaceful stay in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Surrounded by National Trust woodland and scenic walking trails, it is an ideal spot for those wanting to explore the outdoors.
The site is simple with two camping fields situated on a working farm. Tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes are all welcome across the 50 unallocated non electric grass pitches, with up to ten people per pitch.
Group bookings, such as Duke of Edinburgh, are also welcome and will all be able to camp together too.
Out of peak season and during the week, the site is tranquil, with the chatter of ducks and geese in the background and the murmur of tractors as the farm goes about its daily business.
If you're wanting to venture off site, the charming towns of Horsham and Guildford are both within a 30 minute drive, perfect for days of shopping or exploring.
BBQs and small campfires are allowed, perfect for cosy nights under the stars. However, please ensure to not take any wood from the surrounding National Trust woodland.
Dogs are not welcome, sorry.
Site facilities include modern showers and toilets, as well as hot water for washing up. There's also a produce shop which is licensed and sells free-range chicken, duck, burgers and sausages, egg and honey from the farm, along with some camping essentials.
The produce shop is open - Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 8am-6pm, Fridays and Saturdays 8am-7pm, Sundays 8am-4pm and closed on Mondays.
The nearest supermarket is Londis which is a ten minute drive away. The Parrot in Forest Green is the closest pub to the site, a 20 minute walk away, and several others are within a short drive.

A note from the site themselves...
The farm is the home of J A Keen and Son. The Keen family have been farming at Etherley Farm since the late 1950's and we are now in our third generation of farming. We produce high quality free range poultry all year round, with lamb, hogget and mutton available seasonally.
We do not allocate pitches so you can choose your own spot based on wherever suits you. You can either tuck yourself away in a corner of a field or enjoy a hassle-free gathering with your family and friends, we want everyone to have the best time possible!
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesApr 2023
We stayed at Etherley Park for 2 nights in our newly converted camper. Great site on the farm with recently refurbed facilities and a great little shop selling local produce.
We stayed as a family of 5 and we really enjoyed our stay and took a walk to Leith Hill Tower on one of the days. Will certainly return again for a longer stay, likely this year.
We were advised to park on the side of the main field which has hardstanding ground below the grass. The weather was absolutely terrible and we did get stuck in the grass. It wasn't 5 mins before we were towed out with the tractor by the nice farmer. The kids loved it and added to the adventure.
Highly recommended and already looking forward to coming again.
Location is also worth noting, We live in Hampshire and would normally travel away for a camping trip. This place was less than an hour's drive and it felt like we were miles away. Next time I ride my mountain bike at Peaslake, Leith Hill or any of that Surrey Hills area, I will book a night here and get 2 days riding the local hills.
Great site and will be returning again. Good enough for me to take the time to leave this review :)
Lovely spot well out of the city :)

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023
My friend and I had a great stay at Etherley! Very well looked after campsite with friendly staff and fellow campers. The hikes around Leith Hill were a definite bonus and the stargazing was gorgeous this far out of the city. My only heads up to other campers would be to make sure you know how you're getting home as we had a bit of an adventure on our way back. We look forward to coming back again soon!
Fantastic site!
