Directions from the station to the campsite: ** Turn right onto the A25 (heading northwest). ** At Shere turn left onto Gomshall Lane (signposted Shere, Ewhurst) ** Turn left onto Middle Street (signposted Ewhurst) ** Continue forward onto Shere Lane ** Continue forward onto Sandy Lane ** Continue forward onto Hound House Road ** Campsite is on the left, clearly signposted. ** Drivers -- don't drive into the first entrance, keep going until the second entrance on the left hand side, which will take you to a car park near the training centre. There is a bus no.25 to Peaslake, the nearest stop, to the east of the campsite. There seems to be a footpath to the campsite. Look at the timetable [http://www.surreycc.gov.uk/sccwebsite/sccwspublications.nsf/591f7dda55aad72a80256c670041a50d/c2a076219ed06fee8025728b005fbaf8/$FILE/25_Arriva.pdf here]. Don't forget it's the countryside, so long gaps and no nightbuses! The bus leaves Gomshall (Compasses pub): 10:16, 12:16, 14:16, 16:16, 17:21, 18:26 and arrives at Peaslake about 10 minutes later. The bus starts from Guildford about 25min before Gomshall, so it might be worth catching it there. Sample train timetables from London to Gomshall below. You can search for more [http://www.thetrainline.com here]. Don't forget that with the bizarre pricing system we have here, it's almost always cheaper to buy your ticket in advance. If you're traveling with two or more others, you can get a groupsave ticket.

Useful if, say, you want to come via Dorking.
