Orleton Court Farm

Tyckte om On a sunny Thursday morning my wife and I set off for our annual 4 day camping experience at a medium sized local music festival. The music was a much better experience than the camping. Sharing a field ( family section = more sleep? ) with hundreds of other tents should be a breeze. It was a nightmare. Sadly, a nightmare suggests a modicum of sleep. That didn’t happen. Music finish 02:30, shouting and people of all ages talking till sunrise. No sleep. We left early Friday morning…
So, with days to kill and a car full of camping equipment, we headed to a pub (with coffee and wifi ) to plan…
Pitchup was one of a few websites that came up for campsites. As a couple with no campsite experience other than the last 15 years of music festivals their website was perfect.
We set a 50 mile radius and were provided with suitable places and several ideal options. We were able to pinpoint an available site because of the excellent filters provided. And paying was child’s play.
The campsite we chose, not only exceeded our expectations but provided a platform for exploration of local places of interest for us and everyone of our friends who will travel, camp or campervan in future.
Orleton Court Farm was amazing. Plenty of space to camp, Portaloos aplenty, a toilet and shower block too, provided all the basics a campsite needs. However, nothing prepared us for the evening that followed.
A Tap room pub, onsite, just a few minutes walk, with their own beers, ( try Diablo at 6.6%) from hops grown in the next field, was cool. A pizzeria, (open, I believe, on Friday to Sunday), was even better. Then, entertainment on a stage featuring a talented local guitarist painted the perfect picture. We got music too. Incredible. Every member of staff we spoke to was polite, friendly and welcoming.
A fishing lake is also onsite if you feel so inclined.
This campsite is real hidden gem and now I’m following them on social media. We shall return several more times as Worcestershire has many more cultural treats than we could manage in the time we had there.
So, go visit Orleton Court Farm. Go visit Pitchup. We did, and camping is now our new hobby. Awesome!

Tyckte inte om I’m not embarrassed to say we had no problems at all. From logging on to the Pitchup website, to handing back our little red flag ( to let people know that we had paid), Orleton Court Farm delivered, in spades.

Tyckte om Nice, peaceful pitch, pretty setting with the lake & river. Very useful having the portaloos dotted about which were in excellent condition. Very quiet so felt we had plenty of privacy. Spent a lovely evening in the on-site pub and enjoyed a pizza.

Tyckte inte om The facilities were not good at all (except the portaloos which had just been serviced). The actual flushing loos were in poor condition. Didn’t bother with the showers because of it.
Some litter around site, we managed to pick up everything near our pitch despite very little of it being ours

Tyckte om We loved everything about this site, there were plenty of different areas to pitch up, whether you wanted to be near a group of likeminded people, or in a quiet spot you had the choice. We absolutely loved the bar area with live music (as we went on a weekend) and was very impressed with the onsite pizza and waffle options. I would say this site seemed quite lively and if your visiting on a weekend there was many camps playing music until 2/3am but I doubt it would be like this in the week? All in All We LOVED IT here.

Tyckte om The space, beautiful views, great pizza, nice beer, fire pit, friendly people, lots of longdrop toilets around the site which always had toilet paper. There was an Axe Man competition on the weekend we went which was entertaining. It was busy but the queues for the bar never got too long and the wait for pizza was short. Also live music in the evening

Tyckte inte om Shower was cold, sign did say you could go and let them know but by that time you’re already in the shower so just coped with it
