Woodland campsites in Surrey Hills AONB

·

Surrey Hills AONB packs in over 300 forest campsites where you can swap city noise for birdsong and woodland trails. You’ll find everything from basic woodland clearings to sites with hot showers and wood-fired pizza. Average stays run about £83 per night, but you can pitch up for as little as £9. Campfires are allowed at most spots, and many sites welcome both pets and muddy boots. Hiking is the main draw here, with winding paths under ancient oaks, but some campsites even tee up wild swimming or a short drive to the coast for a surf. Local favourites include The Barn KT9 (111 reviews), Beech Estate Campsite (67 reviews), and Woodlands Camping (59 reviews). Most sites offer proper toilets, so you won’t be digging a hole in the ground. If you’re after a woodland escape, Surrey Hills serves it up—straight and simple.

Welcome to Furnace Brook, a tranquil 60-acre Ecosystem Restoration Community tucked away in the rolling countryside of East Sussex. Here, peace, wildlife, and connection to nature come first. Whether you’re waking up in a handcrafted lakeside cabin or camping beneath the stars, this is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover calm. At the heart of the land lies our beautiful lake, surrounded by native trees and wildflowers. Herons, dragonflies, and kingfishers visit often, and misty mornings give way to glowing sunsets reflected on the water. Our cabins blend simple comfort with rustic charm — natural materials and wide windows that open to birdsong. For campers, we have rural private pitches or spacious and communal spaces. It’s quiet here — no loud music, no generators, just the crackle of a fire and the sounds of nature at night. Furnace Brook is part of a working Ecosystem Restoration Community. Every stay supports rewilding and soil regeneration, helping wildlife and woodland return to the landscape. Guests are welcome to wander our trails, learn about the restoration work, or simply enjoy being surrounded by thriving nature. We also brew our own small-batch Furnace Brook Beer, made with local ingredients — the perfect companion for a lakeside sunset or a cosy evening by the fire. If you’re looking for stillness, beauty, and a genuine connection to the natural world, Furnace Brook offers it in abundance. Come to rest, reflect, and experience life at nature’s pace.
