North Down Orchard

The scent of apple blossom drifts across the pitches in spring, while autumn brings the sweet, earthy aroma of ripening fruit underfoot. Set within a working orchard, this Somerset site offers something genuinely different – the chance to wake surrounded by gnarled fruit trees and meadow grasses, with views stretching across the gentle folds of the county's characteristic landscape.

This is a place for campers seeking simplicity and a connection to the land, whether you're in a tent tucked beneath the branches or settled in with a touring caravan or campervan. The South West's famous cider country and rural Somerset villages provide the perfect context for a slower pace of exploration, with local walks and country pubs within reach.

Facilities are straightforward – clean toilets and showers serve the pitches – keeping the focus firmly on the orchard setting itself. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so come prepared to ask. The overall vibe is refreshingly low-key and pastoral, where the main entertainment is the changing seasons, bird song, and the simple pleasure of camping among fruit trees.
