The first thing you notice is the Somerset light — wide, soft, settling over green fields that seem to roll on forever towards the Mendip Hills.

This is a straightforward site for tent campers, caravanners, and campervans who want easy access to Glastonbury without the festival mayhem. You're in proper Somerset here — cider orchards, mystical vibes from the Tor, that sense of ancient landscape beneath your boots. It's a good shout for couples exploring the southwest, families using it as a base for Wells Cathedral or Cheddar Gorge, or anyone chasing a bit of that Avalon magic without the crowds.

You'll find clean toilets and hot showers onsite — nothing fancy, but the essentials are sorted. Check about campfires when you arrive, as policies can shift. It's a relaxed, no-frills spot, the sort of place where you pitch up, brew a cuppa, and let Somerset do the talking.
