The scent of Somerset cider orchards drifts across the field, and if you wake early enough, you'll catch mist rolling off Exmoor's northern slopes just a few miles inland.
This is proper West Country camping territory — pitched behind the Allerford Inn with space for tents, campervans and caravans, it suits anyone wanting an unpretentious base for exploring Exmoor's wooded combes and the nearby North Somerset coast. Families appreciate the pub proximity (handy for meals when no one fancies camp cooking), while couples and walkers often use it as a staging post for the Coleridge Way or coastal path routes that crisscross this corner of Somerset. The village itself is quintessential thatched-cottage England, all packhorse bridges and National Trust corners.
Facilities cover the basics — toilets and showers onsite — and campfires are worth asking about when you arrive, as policies can vary. Expect a relaxed, slightly rustic vibe rather than manicured glamping; this is camping that knows its audience and doesn't try too hard.
