The scent of apple blossom drifts across the pitches in spring, and by late summer you're camping beneath branches heavy with fruit — this is Somerset orchard country at its gentlest.

Blossom Orchard welcomes tents, campervans and caravans, making it a good bet for mixed groups or families who like a bit of flexibility. You're in Somerset's soft rolling heartland here, where cider orchards give way to the Levels and the Mendips rise to the east — proper West Country without the coastal crowds. It's the sort of place that suits a slower pace: exploring market towns, walking footpaths that tunnel through hedgerows, maybe a day trip to Wells or Glastonbury.

Facilities are straightforward — toilets and showers onsite — so you've got the basics sorted without unnecessary fuss. Campfires may be allowed, but check when you arrive as it'll depend on conditions and the time of year. The vibe is relaxed and rural, the kind of spot where you wake to birdsong and fall asleep under dark skies.
