Offering guests the chance to switch off and reconnect with nature and loved ones. This almost wild camping site is set amongst a sheltered orchard in a scenic Dorset village, away from the noise of crowds and busy towns. The site offers a total of 32 non electric grass pitches, each dotted amongst small fruit trees, ideal for shade in the summer. Each of the tent pitches measures a spacious 13m x 8m allowing up to six guests, whilst the touring pitch welcomes those in campervans, measuring 13m x 9m and allowing up to eight. The rural location means the surrounding wildlife is also thriving, so keep an eye out for birdlife, bees and any animals looking to treat themselves to an apple or two. Be sure to also take the short five minute walk to the nearest pub, the perfect place to find out recommendations from the locals. Evenings can also be spent cooking up a BBQ or by the firepit, but ground fires are prohibited. Four-legged friends are also welcome to join you for your stay.
