Barley Hill

The mist rolls off the Somerset Levels at dawn, birdsong rising from the hedgerows as first light catches the gentle slopes of this countryside site. Barley Hill sits in the heart of classic West Country farmland, where the morning air carries that particular sweetness of grass and earth that defines this ancient corner of Somerset.

This is a straightforward, back-to-basics spot for campers, caravanners and campervan tourers who prioritize location and peace over bells and whistles. You're well-placed for exploring the mystical landscapes of Glastonbury, the cathedral city of Wells, and the dramatic gorges and caves of the Mendip Hills, yet surrounded by quiet rural lanes perfect for cycling or walking.

The facilities keep things simple with toilets and showers serving the pitches across the gently sloping ground. Whether campfires are permitted varies, so check with the owners on arrival if you're hoping for evening flames. The overall atmosphere is one of uncomplicated countryside camping, where the rhythms of the surrounding farmland set the pace and the Somerset skies provide the evening entertainment.
