The Orchard Camp Site

Campfire at night (added by infoorchardcampsitecouk 23 Aug 2010)

The Orchard Campsite hosts several fun and unique themed evenings throughout the year including “Alien Encounter” and regular “Star Parties”. Every year there are a dozen major meteor showers, yet most people rarely take the time to enjoy what can be an amazing and memorable experience. Orchard offers visitors the opportunity to get a closer look at the stars through special monitors connected to its own observatory. The site also offers excellent facilities including an on-site shop, a landscaped BBQ area, and its own gypsy-themed caravan.
