You wake to long views over the Somerset Levels, morning mist pooling in the valleys below while the ridge stays clear and sharp in the early light.

This is a straightforward spot for tent campers, tourers, and campervans who want elevation without fuss. Somerset's good for walkers — the Mendips are close, Cheddar Gorge and Glastonbury Tor both within striking distance — and the pitch types suggest a mix of folk passing through and those settling in for a few nights. Dog policy isn't listed, so worth checking ahead if you're travelling with one.

You've got the basics covered: toilets and showers onsite, nothing elaborate but perfectly workable. The campfire situation needs confirming when you arrive, so don't assume either way. The name hints at something a bit more boutique, but the facilities list suggests a relaxed, no-frills site that trades bells and whistles for that morning view. Quiet, hillside, old-school camping with a bit of Somerset spread out beneath you.
