Apple Orchard gives you the option to stay in one of our luxury Wooden  pods with electric and heating also available are beds and bunk beds. All you have to bring is your bedding and cooking facilities.

We have an on site shop selling basic camping conveniences and a café.

The site is located in a rural location with walks and cycling. It is a short distance from link roads to the Forest of Dean, Cheltenham, Ross on Wye and of course, Gloucester with its famous cathedral and docks.

Adjacent to the site is the Walmore Common which holds a recognised Special Protection Area. It is an area of damp grassland and ditches composed of clay soils overlying the only significant area of peatland in Gloucestershire. The Common is subject to regular flooding and this creates suitable conditions for regular wintering of wildfowl and Bewick Swans. Ideal for those who enjoy bird watching.

Just a little heads up for the weekend.... It's gonna be a scorcher! 🔥🔥🔥 Possibly the hottest yet! 🌞🌞🌞🫠🫠🫠Please remember there is not a great deal of shade at the campsite for you or for your dog if you are thinking of bringing it. Make sure you bring a cool mat or a little paddle pool just to keep your furry friend cool. And for the 2 legged babies, please remember the sunscreen! Drink plenty of water, all our water taps on the field are drinkable and its lovely and cool too. 💧💧💧🚰We are still operating the no campfires on site rule. Everything is much too dry to be risking flames. 🔥🔥🔥Please respect this. BBQ'S are allowed providing they are off the ground and you keep a bottle/bucket of water nearby, just in case! 🪣🪣🪣🪣We want everyone to have a good time this weekend, with no disasters!! 😀🎉🍦🍺🍹Breakfast from 9-11.30 this morning and don't forget the hot food menu is on tonight, pizzas, burgers, chicken boxes to name just a few. 6pm-8.30.

The eagle-eyed amongst you this weekend will spot Daisy looking very colourful in her new headgear. The high number of flies about in the orchard this summer are pestering our 4 legged friends all day long, so we will be fitting all our donkeys out in similar headgear. Hopefully. If they'll let us! 🤣🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰 ... See MoreSee Less

Meet Dennis!

Dennis the DonkeySay hello to the latest member of the team. Dennis the Donkey has joined us for the 2022 season and he looks forward to welcoming you at Apple Orchard.

Dennis came to us from Usk. He is one year old and is a lovely gentle lad. He can a be a little mischievous, and loves a gentle pat on his neck.  He has also been joined by two females called Dottie and Daisy. Both are a little more reserved than Dennis, but they are all the best of friends. They are out in the orchard quite often and we ask you to just give them a bit of space and not to give them food treats, else we will have to call him Dave! So please don’t feed them.

We have built them a new stable and we are sure they will love their new life at the campsite.
