Site in SE for newbies

Hello

We’ve recently taken the plunge and bought a California as our first foray into camper vans. We absolutely love it and it’s going to also be the main family vehicle - family of 4.

I’m after some suggestions please for nights away. We’re in Surrey and I’d really like to blow the family away with a night or two somewhere really lovely that’s not a ‘proper’ campsite. I’d love to go fully wild but would certainly consider somewhere slightly less holiday home set up within a couple of hours of Surrey to have a great first experience.

Any and all suggestions welcome

Thanks spuffington, appreciate the reply, I really enjoyed your posts some years back about campers and you’re probably in no small part responsible for us eventually getting the cali!

Interesting viewpoint on the wilding and slightly ominous, i assume the implication being that you’re not welcome or some undesirables arrive?

I’ll take a look at some club sites for rustic style and see what I can find. Thanks again.

Thanks all, some great suggestions there. Wellington in particular looks really interesting!

I’ll update as and when we stay out - the kids have slept on the driveway so far, but we’ve not all stayed in it yet.

This may be a proper campsite, but you can seclude yourself away. https://www.campsites.co.uk/search/campsites-in-su...

Also look at the Secret campsite in Cooksbridge. A short cycle to Lewes which is a great historic town to spend a day in.

Welcome to campavanning, its a great way to see the country.

That looks perfect, many thanks!
