They have been ground sharing since 1993 when they lost their West Street ground. Since then they have shared at Banstead Athletic until 2011, Mertsham to 2012 and since then at Chipstead FC's ground which is roughly six miles away from their spiritual home.

Camberley Town have been knocking on the promotion door since joining the league with Epsom in 2006 - They have finished in 3rd place on two occasions and for the last two seasons they have been runner's up to South Park and Molesey.
