Dorset Nectar Orchard Campsite

Gostou As an 81 year old backpacker/rambler, I am an unlikely visitor from London ! But I had three great days here in the sunshine and 'the Boss' did everything he could to make my stay enjoyable. Many thanks. (and for reviving my interest in superb cider!)

Gostou Beautiful setting, quiet ideal for relaxing getaway. Wood for fires and firepits available. Cider available open in the evening at peak times. If not open good pub 15mins walk.

Gostou The setting is fantastic and unique, on site cider bar with lots of delicious options, the wood burning stove inside is a life saver for soggy camping trips. Good toilet facilities that serve the bar and the campsite. Location is really quiet and remote. 2 on site dogs that liked to visit each camp (though they will look to be fed!) Garden with picnic benches and garden games to keep you entertained.

Não gostou Only 2 showers, one relying on limited hot water and ran out of hot water very quickly in the morning.

Do gerente: Hi there Rupert

We`re really glad you enjoyed your stay at the Orchard camping.

As you may have seen, we`re quite excited and very nearly finished with our new bathroom block which will provide an additional 4 showers and 5 bathrooms to the current series of bathrooms, showers and facilities.
Do tell us if there are issues with hot water showers in future visits, they have a direct hot water system so shouldn't have run out like that.

Really glad you enjoyed your stay with us.

All the Best
Take care

Gostou Lovely long pitches with plenty of room. On site cider bar that was very good. Remote and far from any noisy roads

Não gostou You could hear snoring

Do gerente: Hi there
Really Glad you enjoyed your stay with us Orchard camping, we like offering a quiet relaxing experience.

We offer large 16 foot wide by over 200foot long pitch rows, allowing pitches to be as spread out from each other as they like.
Some people DO snore incredibly loud and this can in exceptionally rare instances carry through the tranquil, quiet setting.

Really glad you enjoyed your stay, look forward to welcoming you back.

Gostou Great to have a row of the orchard per pitch. Lovely Ciders from the bar, and peaceful setting. Fire pit was available on the pitch to use.

Não gostou No dogs allowed but owners dogs wandering around people's tents looking for food.
Limited showers but hopefully once new shower block finished this will improve.

Do gerente: Hi there Racel

Really glad you enjoyed your stat with us here at the Cider Orchard camping between the rows of trees.

As you may have seen, we`re quite excited and very nearly finished with our new bathroom block which will provide an additional 4 showers and 5 bathrooms to the current series of bathrooms, showers and facilities.

The cider farm shouldnt be doing that and we have taken measures to remedy that.

We look forward to welcoming you back.

All the Best

Gostou Lovely pitches and location in amongst an apple orchard. Lovely ciders as well. Lots of seating outside the shop which also had a nice seating area inside too. Stayed at this location for the Melplash Show which was a short drive away.

Gostou General vibe at tap room was very pleasant - nice large sculpture garden with plenty of benches, sunshades along with a few games like Giant Jenga.
Good choice of ciders to try along with wood for the included fire pits at each pitch.
Pitches themselves nicely spread out and very pleasant. Nice and Quiet

Não gostou Toilets got busy in the evening (I believe more are being built for next season) Water in shower by bar was cold in the morning
Lane for access pretty narrow so be ready to reverse! lol

Gostou The location, the cider. The general vibe of the place.

Não gostou It was over booked. We had a group of 10 in the row next to us which meant that they had to put a tent right next to ours. I think they should have been given 2 rows to spread out over. With groups on the site the atmosphere does change from quiet and peaceful to a bit of a party. It depends how far you are from the groups as to how much you will be affected
