Exclusive use

For normal group bookings we have a limit of 6 adults and their children up to a maximum group size of 12. If your group exceeds this why not book exclusive use of The Orchard Campsite? We can accommodate groups of up to 32 people (including children). 

If you want to party the night away then we’re probably not the right venue for you but if you are looking for somewhere peaceful to spend quality time with friends or family, cook over the camp fire, play games, build a den or stargaze then our orchard offers the perfect retreat.

Please note that bookings for exclusive use cannot be made online. Please contact us on amy@fenendfarm.co.uk to book.
