The scent of wet grass and honeysuckle drifts across the Somerset levels on those soft mornings when the buzzards are already wheeling overhead before you've zipped the tent.

This is a straightforward spot for campers who like a bit of space and countryside quiet, with room for tents, campervans and caravans. Somerset's gentle rolling hills and cider orchards are all around, and the site works well for couples after a peaceful weekend or families wanting a proper outdoors stay without too much fuss. You're in classic West Country farming country here, the kind of landscape where you lose an hour just watching the light change over the fields.

Facilities are kept simple — toilets and showers onsite — so it's comfortable without being over-developed. Campfires may be allowed, but worth checking when you arrive as it can vary. The vibe is relaxed and rural, the sort of place where you remember why you bought that tent in the first place.
