    You need to be more specific, Surrey is a large place.

    Where are you intending to go?

    +1 for Etherley Farm. Make sure you bring a BBQ with a lid so you can roast one of their fresh chickens. Ours was even tastier than the local trails.

    There is the Chantry’s Youth Camp Site in Guildford (3 miles from town centre), lovely spot, good access to the S.H and easy walk into town. You need to be a group of supervised young people. It is run by Guildford Borough Council.
    Another one not mentioned is The Merry Harriers at Hambledon and it has Llamas too!

    +1 for the Merry Harriers. Good food, good beer and a regular stop off for many mtb groups. Not sure when your visiting, but it’s the ‘new’ owners 5th anniversary on the 20th July, so they’re having a big party, so it’s likely to be busy then.

    Merry Harriers looks great but it needs to be a campsite (hora jnr thinks its a big adventure!)

    Etherley Farm puts you right on the slopes of Leith Hill, with Holmbury and Pitch within easy reach too. It is basic, but that does mean you can have a fire (or it did last time I stayed there). No dogs allowed because it is actually a farm – they raise pricey poultry.

    Very easy cycle to The Parrot at Forest Green.

    I believe the Merry Harriers has a camping field next to the car park, although it doesn’t get great reviews!
    I forgot to mention the Camping Barn at Puttenham. I’ve never had a look inside but I have cycled past on numerous occasions and it looks interesting.

    There’s a youth hostel at Polsden Lacey.

    Yeah, Merry Harriers camp site is a field across the road from the pub and next to their car park. It’s not very large, but there’s usually a few tents pitched and the odd camper van. You have to use the pub for toilets/showers, but there’s 24hr access.

    Henfold Lakes in Beare Green near Newdigate. Good pitches and has it,s own bar and cafe. It is often visited by local cycling clubs for a tea
    stop.
    Only 4 miles to Leith Hill, Box Hill.
