Campsites in South East England

The South East of England

From the lush, green Surrey Hills, through golden wheat fields and leafy vineyards to the iconic White Cliffs at Dover, the South East of England has drawn visitors from far and wide to admire its landscapes. Its coast has been a popular holiday destination since the Victorian era, and offers some typically English seaside experiences, from donkey rides and deckchairs to candy floss and arcades. The headland is characterised by towering chalk cliffs that seem to shine in the sun, and which once signified home to countless weary soldiers returning from France.
