Cam Bridge Camping

The gentle burble of water over stone announces your arrival at Cam Bridge Camping, where the River Cam winds lazily past grassy pitches and morning mist clings to the Somerset lowlands. This is proper countryside camping, the kind where birdsong forms your alarm clock and the only glow after dark comes from your torch or perhaps a crackling campfire.

Tucked into Somerset's lush heartland, this straightforward site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to its riverside setting. It's ideal for families seeking a back-to-basics break or couples wanting to escape the digital buzz without sacrificing comfort entirely. The surrounding Somerset Levels offer flat, easy cycling and walking, while historic towns and the Mendip Hills lie within striking distance for day trips.

Facilities keep things simple with clean toilets and hot showers serving the pitches. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so ask the owners about gathering around the flames once you've pitched up. The overall atmosphere is refreshingly unpretentious—a genuine slice of Somerset where the landscape does the talking and the pace naturally slows to match the river's meander.
