A note from the site themselves...

Settle down for a sweet stay among apple trees at Orchard Lodge Campsite, a delightful Devon site where the pitches are set up right there in a cider orchard. Being entirely surrounded by trees means plenty of peace and privacy for guests, as well as some rather enticing aromas from the fruit.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2024

A great campsite, it was rural and quiet. The facilities were basic, but the showers were warm, clean and all perfectly useable. If you're looking for peace and quiet, then this is the campsite for you.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesJul 2024

Great basic campsite with excellent facilities and very good local pub nearby. Nice touch to be camping (carefully) between the rows of apple trees. Remote and very quiet, takes a little while to get back to the main roads.
