Every camper remembers their great camping trips, and the campsite normally has a lot to do with it. It's the vibe of the place, where you're pitched, the surroundings, the facilities and the local area. You come back exhausted and grubby, but you've loved every minute. You felt a million miles away from reality, had a smile on your face and were already planning the next trip! That's the Fallow Fields feeling! A family-friendly site in a great location with more than enough room for everyone. It's a chance to escape the daily doldrums and get some much needed open skies. You'll be staying on a beautiful fruit farm, nestled close to the apple and pear trees. Camp in a tent or campervan, the aim here is to make camping easy! This is a car-free site where kids can roam freely. Pitches are allocated, but broken up by fruit trees and long grass for a relaxed atmosphere. There are campfires to cook on by day, or keep warm by night. If you'd rather not bring your home with you, you can even glamp in either an unfurnished or a fully furnished bell tent. The furnished bell tents feel really special and sleep 4, including a full double bed and two futon mattresses with some chic furnishings. You'll want to bring some food along too, as there's camping equipment for cooking and eating. Sorry, dogs can't join you in the furnished bell tents.
