Plum Camping in May Tree Orchard

100%
(20)
21km from Harrison's Rocks · 8 units · Tents, Glamping · 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 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.

The best campsites near Harrison's Rocks, England guide

Overview

About

Amid the patchwork farmlands and leafy valleys of the High Weald AONB, the sandstone crags of Harrison's Rocks are one of the region's most notable natural landmarks. Managed by the British Mountaineering Council (BMC), it's a popular destination for rock climbing, and there are options for all levels, from first-time climbers to experienced mountaineers. Choose from a variety of top-roped climbing routes, and admire spectacular views from the clifftops. If you don't fancy climbing, there's a scenic circular walk from Broadwater Warren that provides views of the rocks, and campers can also pitch their tent on-site.

When to go

The main climbing season at Harrison's Rocks is from April through October, when weather conditions are most favourable. Out-of-season climbing is still possible, but you'll be at the mercy of the weather—wet weather or frost means you'll need to postpone. The camping area is well-shaded during summer, but it can get cold at night in spring and autumn, so come prepared.

  • The reservable campsite at Harrison's Rocks is for self-sufficient campers only. There are restrooms but no other facilities, so bring everything you need with you, including food and plenty of drinking water.
