The rattle of guy ropes in the Somerset breeze and the distant hum of fairground machinery remind you this is a site with a story — a working showmen's winter base that opens its gates to caravans and campervans when the season allows.
This is one for touring caravanners and motorhomers who appreciate somewhere off the beaten track, where you're not pitched cheek-by-jowl with a hundred others. Dogs may be welcome — best to ask ahead — and the campfire policy is decided on arrival, so don't assume either way. It's a working site first and foremost, which gives it an honest, unpretentious character that some will love and others might find too bare-bones.
Facilities aren't listed, so come prepared and phone ahead to confirm what's available when you plan to visit. The vibe is quiet, practical, and refreshingly free of fuss — a decent overnight stop or low-key base if you're exploring the area and want somewhere straightforward to lay your head.
