Beach camping in Surrey Hills AONB

·

Pitch your tent or park your caravan near the sand in Surrey Hills AONB—over 80 beach-focused campsites put you close to salt air and chalk cliffs, with the South Downs and Channel Coast within easy reach. Most sites here keep it simple: think showers, toilets, and campfires allowed, but don’t expect a full lineup of facilities everywhere. You’ll find options from just £13, with the average night running about £39. Top picks include Chalky Downs (241 reviews), Lepe Beach Campsite (51 reviews), and Housedean Farm Campsite (44 reviews). Bring your fishing rod, keep an eye out for deer at dawn, or saddle up for a beach ride—this patch of southeast England packs more than just a view.

Our host was very friendly and helpful. Facilities were fine, clean and tidy. You will probably need some ramps if you want to be completely level but wasn’t a problem for us.

Me and my partner stayed at Chalky downs for 2 nights for a little get away ✨. Sharen’s land is beautiful, everyone is so friendly and we even got to order a sausage bacon and egg bap with tea and coffee in the morning! ☀️. We went into Brighton town for a bit of shopping and to see the sea, only a 14 minute drive and we parked in the station car park 👏🏼. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be going back! Thank you so much. 🫶🏼

We had a great weekend on Sharen‘s land, there appeard to be plenty of space although some places are a little hilly so need to be careful where you pitch your tent. Facilities were really clean, there were only three showers but luckily the campsite wasn’t overly busy, so it wasn’t an issue.

Beautiful surroundings, great place to pitch up my van for its first outing and has taught me what additions I need for my setup next time I go camping. It’s well looked after has almost everything you need if you are a seasoned camper. The views are stunning and it’s so peaceful despite there being a fair few other people there. Would for sure stay again Take chocks for your van!

The Downs stables is lovely place to spend quality time. All the directions were clear and precise, Theo's pod was perfectly prepared for our arrival and the premises are comfortable. We got to see many horses too. We sure will return to Ruth's land.

We had such a lovely time at Chalky Downs. On arrival we were met by Sharon who was so welcoming and helpful. She had also noticed we had 2 little ones and had pre-arranged a spot with some shade for the hot weather, which was very thoughtful and appreciated. The views are wonderful, and is close enough to a nice beach in Rottingdean and Brighton. Would definitely return
