The Mendip breeze carries the scent of turned earth and distant cowbells across this working Somerset farm, where pitches feel properly rural without being isolated.
Thornhills suits campervan and caravan tourers who want a genuine farmland backdrop rather than a resort-style park — couples escaping for a few nights, dog owners looking for footpaths and honest countryside (though you'll need to check ahead about bringing your four-legged friend). Somerset means rolling hills, cider orchards, and the Levels stretching silver in the right light; this is the quieter, unpretentious side of the county, away from the festival crowds.
Details are kept simple here — the site itself doesn't list specific facilities, so expect a back-to-basics setup where you rely on your own kit. Campfires might be allowed depending on the season and conditions, so ask when you arrive. The vibe is low-key and agricultural, the kind of place where you hear tractors in the morning and sleep deep after a day's walking.
