Step aboard Howard Hughes’ original private jet, now grounded at Apple Camping for the adventure of a lifetime. This 1970s aircraft — once linked to Hollywood and then international cartel intrigue — has been lovingly restored into a unique stay for couples, families, and aviation fans to enjoy its original features.

The Owner Says

A truly unique place to stay -  retaining most of the original features, including the illuminated bar area. The Jetstar is a first class executive jet plane that would have carried up to nine passengers. Originally built in the 1970, it has been expertly modified to create comfortable glamping accommodation, and to the rear is a new addition, a spacious double bedroom in the style of a first class ships cabin. There is a toilet and cold water basin on board the plane and the cockpit has an Xbox console with some flight games.
in addition to the double bed in the cabin area, there is a small single bed behind the cockpit. (This is only 5'7"/170cm which is fine for many adults, but not all!) There is also a leather sofa on the plane which is 6'4". Given this configuration, it is more suited to a couple or two adults and two younger children.
The cabin and the cockpit are powered by mains electricity however the fuselage has the planes original lighting and is powered by car batteries and should be used economically. There is a double plug with usb ports which lamps can be plugged in. A bluetooth compatible CD  and radio is mounted in the main fuselage.
Our nearby facilities building has hot showers and toilets, plus a kitchen area with sink, pots, pans, cutlery, fridges, toaster and kettle. There is also a laundry area with washing machine and dryer which can be used by request at an additional cost.  If you like to BBQ...we have plenty of BBQs across the site. Guests are respectfully requested to remove shoes when wet.
- The aircraft is over 50 years old and completely original — expect character and history, not perfection.
- Shower and additional kitchen facilities are shared but finished to a high standard. Please note, towels aren't included.
- Great for couples, families, and content creators.
- Featured across major media and social platforms.
- One of Apple Camping’s most iconic stays.
