Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (wild)
Liked ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Orchard Wild Camping and honestly couldn't recommend it more highly.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much care and thought has gone into this campsite. Everything is incredibly well organised while still keeping that peaceful, authentic wild camping atmosphere.
The facilities are excellent and exceptionally clean. The toilets were spotless throughout our stay, and the showers were a real highlight. They're heated by solar energy, which is such a brilliant touch, and because they're open to the sky with no roof above, you get the unique experience of showering outdoors while looking up at the clouds during the day or the stars at night. It feels so natural and relaxing—something you don't often find at a campsite.
Every pitch has its own private fire pit, which makes the evenings incredibly cosy and gives each pitch a lovely sense of privacy. Sitting around the fire under the clear night sky was one of the best parts of our stay.
If you're worried about the nearby A12, don't be. It really wasn't an issue at all. Once the evening comes, the campsite becomes incredibly peaceful, and during the night it's wonderfully quiet. We all slept really well.
A special mention has to go to Simon. He is an incredible host—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He's fantastic with children, and they absolutely loved spending time with him. His enthusiasm and kindness really make the experience even more special.
If you're looking for a peaceful, family-friendly campsite with immaculate facilities, private fire pits, unforgettable outdoor showers, and a host who genuinely cares about his guests, Orchard Wild Camping is the perfect place. We made wonderful memories here and will definitely be returning.
Thank you, Simon, for such an unforgettable stay!
