The Orchard – Camping & Touring

We are a family run camping & touring  park, offering an idyllic location for family holidays.

The site is graded by the AA’s Quality Assessment scheme. In 2019 ( we did not open in 2020 ) we were awarded 4 stars – Gold 87 % 

Our pitches are all allocated, and set in approximately 10 acres of mature, landscaped garden grounds, and the site as a whole is nestled in a wooded valley, surrounded by rolling hills and farm land.

All pitches are grass, and can accommodate all types of touring units, motor-homes & tents. ( please contact us directly if you have a larger style motorhome ) 

We place a firm emphasis on sustainable tourism and being ‘nature friendly’ – so please do be aware of our site rules before booking
