About Long Acres Caravan and Camping Park

Set in the Surrey countryside, this site is close to the village of Lingfield under the Gatwick flight path and many attractions nearby. With several different camping fields, and on a busy weekend in the summer, you can expect them all to be full of children playing games and happy dogs (on leads) wagging their tails. The smell of barbecues and breakfast bacon will be in the air, and if you're lucky, you might spot some of the local rabbits, deer or buzzards. Spacious pitches are available for tents, caravans and motorhomes with six different camping areas to choose from. There's the smaller Pines field, the larger Meadow or eight-acre Hayfield. You're also able to indulge in a range of glamping options, sleeping between two to five people. For groups up to four, choose between four glam bell tents, three cosy glamping pods (Higgledy Piggledy, Cedar, and Pathfinder), or the Beach Shack. If you're looking for something more traditional, check out the charming shepherds hut, perfect for two. For groups of up to five, the Woodmans Lodge and the hand-built Tree House offer an exciting stay. All accommodations are equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay, including comfy beds, electric and mini-fridges. Bedding and towels are also provided, so all you need to bring is yourself and a sense of adventure. You are more than welcome to bring your own BBQ/fire pit (these must be at least 18 inches from the ground) or you can hire a private fire pit from the site (charges apply) or use the communal fire pit (free of charge). Throughout the summer, the site is joined by food and drink vans during the weekend and enjoys a daily visit from the local ice cream van!

Long Acres Caravan and Camping Park is open from 29/03 to 02/11 in 2024 and from 18/04 to 27/10 in 2025.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Very friendly at reception. Well kept site. Fairly quiet on our field so it was quite peaceful, despite planes, which are a bit of a pain but we were aware we would be under a flight path! Lovely walk to the Wire Mill pub, where we had a nice late lunch. Loos and showers good, although ladies hand dryer not working.

Lovely place to go
