CAMPFIRES
We love campfires and see them as an integral part of the camping experience. Campfires bring people together at the end of the day, to cook, socialise and relax. The smell of the wood smoke at twilight and the excitement on the kids faces when the marshmallows come out are bound to set you up for a perfect night away from the city lights! We sell crates of firewood, and hire fire pits for you to use during your stay.
MUSIC
The Lower Fields are for quiet camping. We would like it to be the perfect place for children to sleep and adults to chitchat around the campfires.
On the Upper Field and near the Centre Camp we do allow you to listen and enjoy any music. But please respect your fellow campers! We want everybody to be able to enjoy their weekend without being disturbed. We ask for quiet across the whole site from 11.30pm.
Overall we are quite a sociable site, with things happening at center camp every weekend. and a public campfire to sit around for a few mins after your sauna. We have a great area for large family groups. We pride ourselves on helping new campers get the most out of the experience come and hay hello at center camp.

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.

Great site. Amazing woods to walk in and find the rope swings. Showers and toilet at the entrance are ok. Proper toilets in the wild camping field are ok once you get over the size of the spiders. Trolleys provided to get luggage from car to camp site, can be a long walk but worth it. When it’s quiet at night you can hear the pylon nearby. Loved sitting out by the fire pit.

This is the perfect little spot for a rustic couple of nights relaxing. This is my second year here. Mobile data is sketchy here so either do without the phone, or print a map for walks before you arrive.

Weekend Trip to The Nut Plat Retreat
Wonderful stay at this rustic retreat! The hot tub was easy to use, super comfortable bed, and (very) nearby pub was delicious - even a free community curry night one evening. We were also able to charge our phones at the pub and send a quick text since the site didn't have sockets/cell service (not a bad thing just something to note)! Unlimited wood and quick responses from Duncan made this an extremely smooth-sailing glamping retreat! Extremely private-feeling as well. Will definitely return for another needed city escape :)

Pitches are well spaced out. Each have a fire pit and a QR code that you can use to order from them shop (I didn’t try it out). I don’t know if I was using the right toilets as there was only one block but no signs for anything else.
We were only there a night but would definitely come back.

We loved camping at Hook Farm Campsite. Facilities are basic but perfectly functional (including warm and clean showers), site is quiet and natural. The steep slopes are not ideal, as the mattress moves down while trying to sleep. It is however a great campsite with helpful and friendly staff and management.

Lovely peaceful orchard setting and a cute retro caravan makes for a peaceful weekend escape. Both hosts were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, suggesting a lovely walk, some ideas for places to eat and giving us new ice packs for the fridge on the second day. Dog friendly which was a bonus. Caravan is comfortable and rain proof, a bonus given there torrential downpours we had during our time there. The apple juice we bought was glorious too. Definitely recommend if you want a break from electrical living for a few days. We appreciated the games available and spent a few times honing our chess skills!

It felt like a complete oasis away from the world at the moment. The owners were so welcoming, they had clearly put their heart and soul into the site. From a beautiful family friendly festival vibe of a communal area, to a stunning hot shower, a hot sauna and shady areas to hang out. The pitches were spacious, we loved the food and cocktails van! There was great walking all around the site. Could you ask for more?! We really had a sense of community and connection. Speaking to people we hadn’t met either around the fire, in the sauna or even sharing some cake with strangers at our camp. I feel so full and rebalanced now I’m home. Thank you so much for all the hard work you have put in so we all have a chance to be humans not robots xxx

This is such a beautiful little spot. I just can't recommend it enough. I went with my son who's 5 and he loved staying in the caravan, exploring the site, and seeing the wildlife. Natasha and Nick are absolutely lovely and excellent hosts. Thanks for sharing your lovely space. Definitely try their apple juice it's delicious. If you want a quiet break in the countryside, this is it.

Really great peaceful campsite with beautiful views. We all had a lovely few days at Glassenbury - the facilities were all we needed and the owners friendly and helpful. Lots of space in between pitches and fun tyre swing and bus for the kids to play on.

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.
Know before you go
- Harrison's Rocks are located one mile south of Groombridge in East Sussex—a short car drive or about a 15-minute walk. Trains run to Groombridge from London (about a 1-hour journey).
- Facilities at Harrison's Rocks include pay-and-display car parking, restrooms, and a campsite.
- 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.
