Southfork Caravan Park

The rhythmic clatter of tent pegs echoes across open pitches where morning mist rolls off the Somerset Levels, revealing distant views that stretch toward the Mendip Hills. Southfork Caravan Park offers straightforward, no-frills camping in the heart of England's West Country, where ancient wetlands meet cider orchards and the mystical pull of Glastonbury is never far away.

This is a site for traditionalists and practical tourers who value location over luxury – those keen to explore Somerset's historic market towns, prehistoric lake villages, and the dramatic Cheddar Gorge without paying for facilities they won't use. The year-round opening makes it particularly appealing for hardy souls chasing winter solitude or festival-goers using it as a Glastonbury base.

Expect the essentials: clean shower blocks and toilet facilities serving pitches that accommodate tents, caravans, and campervans alike. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so inquire when booking if you're planning fireside evenings. The atmosphere is refreshingly unfussy – a working site where the Somerset landscape does the talking and you're left to enjoy it on your own terms.
