Van Life Campsites in Surrey
Surrey surprises many van lifers — the county is mostly within an hour of London yet contains some of the best ancient woodland and chalk downland in the South East. The Surrey Hills AONB covers the North Downs and the Greensand Ridge, and several farm sites here offer genuine quiet just 30 miles from the capital.
Box Hill, Leith Hill, and the Hurtwood are popular cycling and walking destinations, and farm sites in the Tillingbourne Valley and around Shere are well positioned for exploring both. Frensham Great Pond near Farnham is one of Surrey's most atmospheric spots — a heathland lake with sandy beaches and a surprising sense of wilderness.
Surrey isn't traditional van life country — it lacks wild coasts and remote uplands. But for van lifers based in or near London, or those looking for a quiet midweek stop between bigger adventures, the Surrey Hills offer genuine countryside and good farm camping only a short drive from the M25.
