The gentle rustle of Somerset hedgerows and the distant lowing of cattle drift across this traditional campsite, where morning mist often clings to the fields before burning off to reveal the region's characteristically soft, rolling landscape. This is proper rural England, tucked into countryside that typifies the South West's quieter agricultural heartlands.
Ivy Cottage Campsite welcomes tenters, caravanners and campervanning couples or families seeking an unpretentious base for exploring Somerset's cider orchards, market towns and ancient landmarks. The straightforward facilities keep things simple, with the essentials covered for those who prefer their camping experience focused on the outdoors rather than resort-style amenities. Check regarding campfire arrangements when you arrive, as policies may vary depending on conditions.
The atmosphere here is refreshingly low-key and decidedly traditional. This isn't a site trying to be anything other than what it is: a genuine countryside pitch where you can park up, pitch up, and enjoy the kind of peace that's increasingly hard to find. Perfect for those who measure a successful camping trip in stars seen rather than stars awarded.
