Weekend Trip to Far and Away Camping

Lovely campsite, good country walks around and very friendly hosts!

3 nights at Small Meadow Farm

We booked the site for private hire and it was the perfect place for a long weekend with a big group; Anna was a lovely, friendly and responsive host and we enjoyed her recommendations for places to visit in the area. The woodland area with hammocks was a lovely relaxing spot with much welcome shade. Would recommend Hastings old town, Pett Level beach and Rock-a-more beach. Thanks again Anna!

Weekend Trip to Far and Away Camping

Lovely quiet campsite, beautiful setting very rural.

Weekend Trip to Riverside Farm experience camp fire

A perfect short break with really friendly, host, other campers and well cared for animals to pet. Kids loved messy about on the river and the classic camp fire.

2 nights at Beech Estate Campsite

Lovely campsite, really private pitches in the forest and clean facilities.

A peaceful area to sit and enjoy the sunrise and set in the land around you.

2 nights at Hendred Farm Huts

Stayed at Dorothy and it was the perfect stay especially as we were celebrating my boyfriends birthday. We were lucky enough to have the whole area to ourselves, and the weather was beautiful. We loved the peacefulness and hearing the church bells in the distance was and added bonus. The bed was very comfortable and we adored the shepherd's hut and loved that every little detail was thought off even the spare phone chargers. Pub was a lovely surprise just how close it was and the food was exceptional

1 night at Riverside Farm experience camp fire

This place is pure magic, couldn’t have asked for anything more. The location is stunning, based in a valley with views of meadows and grand trees as far as the eye can see. You would think you were deep in the countryside. The stream was crystal clear and crisp, we floated down on the kindly provided paddle boards which the kids loved. Not to mention the very friendly animals who wander freely around the site, it was beautiful seeing animals free in their natural environment. The piglets were extremely friendly and my daughter had so much fun playing with them. There is so much to do, in the woodland area my daughter had fun playing in the sandpit, swinging in the hammocks and zooming along the zip wire. We had a gorgeous fire in the pit provided, grilled our fish and enjoyed the starry night. In the morning we collected eggs from the lovely chickens - the freshest eggs I’ve ever had! And to top it all off, Morag is the loveliest person, such a genuine down to earth soul. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Pitchcott Farm

The views are great. It’s very peaceful. There’s a great football goal in the barn. Tony is a friendly and interesting owner. It’s a really big field with waist high grass, so being on the opposite side of it from the loos or shower is a bit of a challenge - pitch on the loos side if you can. It’s quite a long way to get water too.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Woodland Camp

We had a great time camping on the site, great location and friendly hosts. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Glassenbury Camping

Clean facilities, plenty of space for privacy, firewood available and really friendly/helpful staff. Would happily come again.

Weekend Trip to Beech Estate Campsite

Beautiful campsite, friendly staff and very clean facilities. All worked perfectly and would definitely recommend.

2 nights at Secluded Woodland Camp

Jon was a great host, really friendly and always happy to help. The views from the meadow fields are great and I had the whole place to myself for the first night and was just amazing, felt completely recharged and rested sitting in the fields watching the butterflies. Only downside is it’s a bit of a walk from the car and up bit of a hill. Not enough to put me off recommending it though. Just pack light and bring a friend to help pull the trolley. Can’t wait to come back again. 5* thanks again Jon :)

2 nights at Fontmills Farm Campsite

We had a fabulous time at Fontmills. Beautiful site, lovely clean facilities, super lovely hosts and the cutest little animals. We’ll be back for sure!

1 night at Barn Owl Camping

Very nice spot! We just have been for one night, we wished to stay longer.

Weekend Trip to Hendred Farm Huts

We spent a lovely relaxing weekend at Martha with our old pooch and we loved it. We did alot of laying about on the grass and listening to the abundance of birds. The barn owl hunting every evening in the field was a first for us and very special. The hut was kitted out nicely and felt comfortable. It's very cosy. We really enjoyed our time there and felt revived by the serene atmosphere.

Weekend Trip to The Nut Plat Retreat

Very nice off grid experience. Facilities are good but it’s more of a rustic experience than luxury. We had a lovely weekend. Nice walks to the vineyard (1 hour) who have a nice outside area to try wines and the cheeseboard is decent. The rifleman pub is a stones throw from the nuthatch and the food is really good. Wood fired hot tub is a nice touch. Just have to be patient with it. Really friendly host. Would definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to Riverside Farm experience camp fire

Beautiful campsite - little piece of heaven. Kids and adults equally had a wonderful time. Would recommend to anyone.

Weekend Trip to Hendred Farm Huts

Our 2 night Stay in Dorothy was truly wonderful! We will definitely be back! The location and hut were perfect!

Come and meet the chickens and ducks, friendly pygmy goats and miniature shetland pony Dino at Dogwood Camping, a gem in the heart of the East Sussex countryside.

Dogwood is in the pretty village of Brede, and is walking distance from two fine country pubs. We are surrounded by stunning countryside where you can take your dog for a short stroll across the fields or go for a long romp through the woods and valleys. Or just sit and relax, listen to the birds and soak up the peace and quiet. We are fortunate to be in a 'dark sky' area, perfect for long, relaxing summer nights around the campfie, sipping hot chocolate, toasting marshmallows and spotting shooting stars! During the summer our site is a popular spot for families and campers visiting nearby Camber Sands sandy beach and year round we welcome all different types of campervan, motorhome and caravan. We look forward to welcome you to our little slice of paradise. Please note our strict 'no group' policy - we only accept single families, single couple and single campers. No more than 2 adults in any group, even on separate pitches. Please bring your acoustic guitar or similar but, as this is a quiet site, please no radios, stereos or videos unless you're using headphones. The birdsong here is incredible by the way! Very wet weather and winter – please note in the off-season, and if very wet, the camping field is closed to vehicles, replaced instead by semi-hardstanding areas or our summer car-park area. Facilities are open but please be prepared for the vagaries of the weather, leaves, puddles and mud. To change pitch please let us know asap so that we can try if possible to find you another. Apart from the car-park, pitches can get very muddy in prolonged, heavy rain. If you are not prepared for these eventualities please do not book.

Plum Camping in May Tree Orchard

11 units · Glamping, Tents5 acres · Goudhurst, Kent, South East England

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 4 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 about a ten-minute drive from the campsite and the coast around Hastings and Rye is just over 30 minutes. Two amazing independent food businesses sell pears, apples and plums grown at the orchard – Local Greens (South London) and Growing Communities (North London). Delicious apple juice and tasty chutney made from the organic apples grown in the orchard are available to purchase on site, and sometimes there are home-grown veg and herbs for sale.
