The Orchard Campsite hosts several fun and unique themed evenings throughout the year including “Alien Encounter” and regular “Star Parties”. Every year there are a dozen major meteor showers, yet most people rarely take the time to enjoy what can be an amazing and memorable experience. Orchard offers visitors the opportunity to get a closer look at the stars through special monitors connected to its own observatory. The site also offers excellent facilities including an on-site shop, a landscaped BBQ area, and its own gypsy-themed caravan.
