Simple camping and comfortable glamping amongst organic fruit trees, wild flowers and woodland, bordering an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with some of the darkest night skies in Europe. In the beautiful High Weald of Kent, Tash and Nick have been running May Tree Orchard's low-impact, nature-friendly, seasonal campsite, Plum Camping, for the last 5 years.
The Soil Association certified organic land is full of wild flowers and surrounded by woodland and other orchards. Electricity and hot water for showers and washing up is solar generated. So you can charge your phone if necessary, but we'd recommend stargazing and enjoying the quiet warmth of friends and family around an evening fire instead.
Bring your own tent, stay in the delightful hand-made shepherd’s hut or stylish caravan, or hire the whole May Tree Orchard space. Numbers are kept low here so that there is always plenty of room for everyone, as well as peace and quiet.
The campsite is an hour and a half drive from London and a 20 min walk to the sleepy and pretty village of Goudhurst, with pubs selling great food and two local shops for self-catering. There are also two excellent farm shops within walking distance.
Close to May Tree Orchard, there are walks via Sissinghurst, Scotney and Bodiam Castle, and water activities on the River Rother and at Bewl Water. Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest is a ten-minute drive from the campsite and the coast around Hastings and Rye is just over 30 minutes.
An amazing independent food business, Growing Communities, sells pears, apples and plums grown at the orchard in their box scheme serving North and South London, and you can also buy them from the Pear Necessities stall at Stoke Newington Farmers Market. Delicious apple juice and tasty chutney made from the organic apples grown in the orchard are available to purchase on site, as well as plum preserve and orchard plums.

We had a great night here. The site has a wonderful setting, lovely and quiet, and plenty of space.
Our only problem was getting in the access gate as it was jammed closed, but we were met quickly to help get us in.

A wonderful weekend family gathering in real countryside with a fabulous vibe of peace and goodwill. Plenty of space, firepits, ice cream, pizza, very special beers, enjoyable showers, and.... we had sunshine!
The campsite team are switched on, welcoming and helpful. We will be back. Thank you all.

I camped for two nights in my own tent with my four year old and a dog, and we absolutely loved it. We only live up the road 😂 but this gave us the “middle of nowhere” camping experience within a 20 minute drive. The event on Friday night was brilliant, the cafe is wonderful and I was looking longingly at the exercise classes…next time! My daughter cried when we had to leave, we will definitely be back (and the husband can come too next time, there’s a Reformer with my name on it!!!) thank you for a lovely stay and see you again soon.

Lovely ‘wild Glamping’ set up. Off grid.
Each bell tent was equipped so that all you need to bring is bedding, food and a tea towel.
We stayed on a very hot evening so the tree cover was welcome. Plenty of shade and protected from elements. There is a little field if you want to get out from the woods (and play a little badminton). Bucket shower was great.
I also over stayed by an hour or so (thanks!) and saw just how much effort was put into the cleaning of the cooking equipment etc by the staff who were wonderful.
I did take a camping stove as I wasn’t sure I wanted to cook over a fire during the heatwave but actually I made a fire anyway as it is always fun and could have coped without.
If going in wet weather I would make sure you take decent footwear - that’s all! Thanks for a lovely stay

We had a brilliant stay at The Barn KT9. It’s even better than the photos. The tents were huge with comfy beds and clean sheets. The room diffuser was a lovely touch. Beautiful views and a relaxing space. The kids really enjoyed finding the different activities you had laid out in the field. The cafe was even better than hoped! Flushable toilets and a gorgeous shower - we will definitely be back! Thank you so much Charlie and family for having us and making us feel so welcome

We had a wonderful and relaxing 2 night stay here for fathers day. Its so peaceful yet so close to London and lots of child friendly places. The onsite cafe had fabulous views, coffees and pastries, and its a short walk across the field and Ashtead Common to the Star pub which has a little play area in the garden.

As on previous trips to the barn we had a lovely time. Toilets are clean and the site is so well looked after. Plenty of wheelbarrows and the fire pits bbqs and tables were a real plus!
The honesty shop for logs saved us Friday night as we had completely forgotten to get some, genius idea.

Really liked the location and setting. It had everything we needed, with two pubs, Chessington World of Adventures and Chessington Garden Centre all within walking distance. There were games to play like cornhole, and a nice cafe on site. There's also a gym, Reformer Pilates, and a pizza van that comes during the week. Will definitely be back with my kids.

I absolutely loved this peaceful, tucked-away gem! Each pitch is beautifully laid out, nicely separated from the others, and comes equipped with its own dedicated fire pit and barbecue grill. It really feels like a stunning little hidden oasis, yet it remains reasonably accessible. A perfect spot for a tranquil getaway.

What a superb camping site! We have stayed on lots of sites and this was one of our favourites- huge pitches, clean and plenty of toilets/showers.
The local walks and ideas were fab and I can definitely say that I have never stayed on a site with a camel before!
The owners and staff were all amazing and nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you for creating a space and experience for all to enjoy!

I loved camping at Tomkin's farm. The site is surrounded by beautiful countryside and there were lots of interesting meadow flowers, insects, birds, and animals to be seen in the area. The llamas, alpacas and bactrian camel were fascinating for the children and the llama behaviour in particular was of deep interest to the girl in our group.
The showers and toilet facilities were in good shape and water was good and hot. Signage for drinking water and women's only toilet could be clearer.
The footpath to the local pub was easy to follow and the pub itself was good.

The campsite is lovely and situated in beautiful countryside. Facilities are good, although signage around the women's only toilet and the drinking water tap, could be better. The showers are very hot, and the one cold shower was very welcome on the hottest days. It was lovely to walk to see the alpacas, llamas and camel - the latter of whom was very sensibly staying in the shade. The walk to the nearest pub is very pleasant!

Wonderful stay! Such a lovely & peaceful setting with the main sound all weekend being the amazing birdsong! Small and relaxed site with lots of space between pitches and limited number of campers. We had such a friendly and helpful welcome from Natasha and Nick and lovely chats throughout our stay about their orchard and local places to visit etc. The outdoor shower was a highlight especially as we were there during a heatwave! Also the apple juice and jam. Great to be able to re-freeze ice blocks too. The surrounding area is also beautiful. Would definitely recommend.

This was a great campsite, they were very friendly. The facilities were basic but clean and functional. The cafe was great and the option of pizzas on Saturday and Sunday night was brilliant. The location was lovely and seeing the alpacas and camels was fantastic.
