  • Orchard pitches on a fruit farm and plant nursery in Kent countryside
  • A 10-minute drive to Sissinghurst Castle Garden and 25 to Leeds Castle
  • Fresh eggs on site; five minutes’ drive to a pub
It’s not every day you get to pitch up among fruit trees, so grab the chance to do just that at Frittenden Orchard, where off-grid grass pitches are scattered in orchards on a Kent farm near Staplehurst. For even more of a back-to-nature vibe, you can wander the 11-acre woodland wildlife haven around the camping fields, where you might get to see foxes, badgers and deer. The site owners are happy to suggest local walks and sightseeing ideas for you. Free-range eggs are available from their own hens (just think of the breakfast fry-ups…). As this is a simple campsite, there’s no electricity but you will have a wifi connection and ice-pack freezing to keep your food fresh and chilled, as well as charging facilities for your devices, so you can keep in touch with the outside world. You can barbecue meals on grills brought from home, and pick up locally sourced produce from the handy store in Frittenden (five minutes’ drive), but if you’d rather someone else did your cooking while you’re away from home, there’s also a smashing pub in the village serving yummy burgers and local beers.

What customers say

A chilled-out, roomy campsite in lovely scenery. Friendly host, pick your own spot among the fruit trees. Top-notch, spotless new loos, showers & washing-up area. Local pub nearby. Basic but charming, say some.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Quite and nice location

Disliked Showers would only last a short while before running out of water

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I'm sorry that you found it inconvenient to push the button on the shower for more water, on your back to basics camping experience.

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked A beautiful site with masses of space. Lovely new showers and toilets, nice covered washing up area and even a fridge and a freezer for campers use. You can walk to the pub and the church across open silent fields. Delightful and very good value for money too. Will definitely return.

Disliked A sign or two on the road advising that the entrance was close would be really useful.
It was our first time at the site and I went past with my caravan. It was some distance before we could turn around, then we nearly had the same problem again!
A handout with some info on rubbish sorting, tap location and how to get to the pub would be handy. But these are very minor gripes.

Liked Great place

Disliked You aren't allowed to park on the pitch but we were sleeping in the car so had to do it

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay. You had booked a tent pitch instead of a tourer pitch.

Would definetly come again and recommend this lovely place!

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked A very large site. You can pitch where you want. Not busy even though it's school holidays. New showers and toilets, and two sinks for washing up. No freezer for ice packs but a fridge to keep milk or drinks chilled. Very peaceful. No lighting around the fields so definitely need a torch.

Disliked Nothing.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. New freezer installed today 🙂

A great campsite that felt safe and relaxing.

Liked We had a wonderful week at Frittenden orchard last week.
Diane was a great host and was always available if needed for anything.
The facilities were lovely and kept very clean.
Great walks for the dog in the nearby fields and forest to keep cool in the warm weather
We will definitely be returning.

Local attractions

Kent is known for its historic stately homes – but which to visit first? Leeds Castle (25 minutes’ drive) has a host of activities, from guided tours to jousting tournaments and raptor displays, to keep families entertained all day. There are rose gardens to wander in Sissinghurst Castle Garden (10 minutes), and at moated Scotney Castle (25 minutes) you can follow trails through landscaped parkland. There’s more active stuff to do too; kids with energy to burn can wear themselves out on zipwires or mountain-biking trails at Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest (20 minutes), or on the inflatable course at Bewl Water Aqua Park (25 minutes). Younger children can cuddle the cute creatures at Buttercups Sanctuary For Goats (20 minutes), and any rainy-day issues are taken care of by the indoor pool at The Weald Sports Centre (10 minutes). If you’ve treated the kids to their day out, you deserve some me-time too. How about heading into Royal Tunbridge Wells (40 minutes) to browse indie shops or lunch in the cosy bistros of The Pantiles? And if you fancy a night out, book tickets for shows at the Trinity or Assembly Hall theatres.
