  • 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.

 Nikki G. 6 reviews

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Everything, there's nothing to not like, lovely new toilet, shower block. Washing up area. Diane is a lovely lady and is very accommodating. There is no freezer at the moment to keep your ice packs frozen, but Diane is aware of this, and said she is looking into getting one. The woodland for the dogs to run around in is one of the best I've ever seen, and I've camped at many sites. My dog absolutely loved it. Will definitely be returning. The price per night is also good, for what you get it's very reasonable. And the added bonus of a pub within walking distance. 😍

Disliked None

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review.
I'm happy to continue freezing ice packs in my freezer ATM, but as you said, I'm on the case to buy a small freezer to go with the communal fridge.
See you and your dog again🙂

Extra clean facilities, beautiful views!

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Beautiful setting, very clean facilities, and felt like we were left peacefully to enjoy ourselves (knowing Diane was nearby if we needed anything). Our kids loved the chickens and trampoline. Clear area where we could dispose of ashes, bins etc.

Disliked Nothing to dislike!

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked From the fantastic & informative welcome from Debbie it was a lovely, away from the hustle and bustle stay. Pick you our pitch in the large orchard, even between the fruit trees. New amenity block with nice hot showers. Great walks near by and a lovely village pub (Bell & Jorrocks) that does good food within a 15-minute walk through the fields or along the road (last bit is on grass).

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked Staying amongst the trees. Good toilet facilities.

Disliked Minor - Toilets got dirty quickly and ran out of loo paper.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review.
The toilets are cleaned/serviced four times per day Unfortunately some members of the general public are more messy than others. Thank you for informing me that the toilet paper had run out, so that I could rectify it straightaway..

we will be back

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.
