 Had booked a Safari Tent with full facilities.
Had to cancel at the last minute due to illness.
They immediately gave full credit for use at a later date which I regard as excellent.

We went on a busy weekend but there is a lot of space and we found a nice spot to pitch our tents on clean flat ground,
The price for two bikes and two tents was good and the prices in the shop seemed reasonable and its very well stocked including a good selection of local beers.
There is a lot of space and although busy we didn't feel crowded and the site wasn't noisy.
My only negative comment was that the toilet / shower block was a bit messy and could do with being tided more often but for me this is is a minor point and may have been due to the time I used them.
I will go back again and do recommend this campsite. Its best feature are the friendly ad helpful staff/owners.

Just returned from a lovely 3 night stay with family & friends at the Orchard campsite, Alan was very helpful and understanding from the beginning in finding us a more away from the crowd experience to help with our daughters experience of camping.
Campsite reminded myself of camping as a child more laid back and less restrictive as some other sites I've stayed at.
The small shop on site offers plenty of choice from bacon to chocolate or wine to dog tethers so has plenty to offer the camper and the kids for any treats & sweets without running to the co-op every 5 minutes and the prices are also very competitive.
Toilets and showers are also good and there is also washing up facilities with a kettle and microwave for people to use free of charge which is a nice touch.
Small play area for kids with a couple of swings etc but most seem more interested in playing ball games or enjoying the woods or the river and ponds which again is great to see.
Logs can be purchased from the shop for £6 a bag and your allowed to have your own campfire so don't forget the marshmallows to toast over the fire which are also available from the shop, kids loved that bit of course.
Overall a fab time had by 6 adults & 6 kids and already making plans for a return trip later in the year. Thankyou Orchard & Alan

What a beauty of a campsite!
It’s location is perfect with a lovely on site shop and a little village in walking distance which you can get all the essentials from!
The staff are super friendly and very helpful.
The kids loved it as there was plenty for them to explore.
The facilities were always clean and looked after.

We arrived early. The first from our group. When we explained we were in a group the owner gave us permission to use a field at the back so we did not disturb any other campers. He also booked our group in so everyone could head straight down when they arrived.
It was lovely and peaceful.
All had a great time.
Have been to this campsite several times over the years and have always received great service

Nice location, river and woodland walks nearby plus a short walk to the village with all shops that are needed for a stay away. There is also on site shop with good selection and open early till late.
Good pitch sizes and freedom to choose your own area.
Toilet and showers were good, clean and tidy and enough given how many people were on site but I suspect may be a bit of a wait on very busy days.
If you have a large tourer or motorhome the approach roads are a little tricky but my combined outfit is just under 12M length and I got through OK.

A real gem of a campsite. What else can I say……. It’s a beautiful location which caters to every need, the on-site staff are super friendly and helpful.
The amenities are clean and have everything you need. It has a lake, a river, forest and loads of open space to play and explore.
I cannot fault this place me and my family absolutely love it. I’ll be back again and again and again.

The location of Orchard campsite was great. It’s only 10 minutes to walk into the centre of town where you can find most amenities you might need.
There’s an excellent Indian restaurant there also, ten out ten for that. The staff (at the campsite) were friendly and gave a lot of local advice which was very handy.
The site is very pretty and open whilst also enjoys lots of trees if you want that sort of pitch. Flexible check in check out was very handy. So for all of the foregoing, no fault at all.
However, the toilet and shower facilities are a bit limited to be honest. There were only 2 showers for men or women whereas women also had a separate 3 showers to use.
The toilets were often left unclean and 1 had a broken toilet seat so was unusable for the time we were there. Also one of the separate urinals was blocked for the whole period we stayed there.
The toilet/ facilities area could really do with updating and perhaps a separate facilities block could be added across the other side of the main field. I can imagine that at a busy time, using the facilities would include quite a bit of waiting.
Another slight downside was the noise from the A12. It’s busy road and quite close so you can hear the traffic most of the day.
To finish on a positive note, we did enjoy our time there.

What a great find! This site is so relaxed and far from some of the larger campsite organisations with their restricting rules etc.
We were able to have a camp fire for starters which is what camping is about! However rarely allowed.
The facilities were great and the shop very well stocked. This campsite is for everyone! You can pick your own space on a massive piece of land by the river.
It’s one of the best sites we have stayed. The staff were pleasant and helpful and we will 100% recommend and stay again.
Also excellent value for money and no strict check in check out just totally relaxed which is what camping should be!
