The gentle rustle of ash leaves overhead and the distant lowing of cattle across the Somerset Levels set the tone at this peaceful meadow site, where morning mist often lingers in the hedgerows before burning off to reveal wide, flat views across one of England's most distinctive landscapes.
This is classic back-to-basics camping for those who prefer simplicity and space over endless facilities. Ash Tree Meadow welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to its grassy pitches in the heart of Somerset, within easy reach of Glastonbury's mystical Tor, the cathedral city of Wells, and the wildlife-rich wetlands of the Levels. It's ideal for couples and families seeking a quiet escape with room to breathe.
Onsite facilities are straightforward and functional: clean toilets and hot showers provide the essentials. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so it's worth asking when you book if an evening fire is part of your camping ritual. The atmosphere here is wonderfully unhurried, the kind of place where you can genuinely switch off and let the Somerset countryside work its restorative magic.
