We stayed on the overflow field rather than the main site which gave the kids loads of space to play (added by della_e 17 aug 2020)

  • Peaceful Westcountry site in the scenic Somerset Levels
  • A five-minute drive from Martock and 20 minutes from Yeovil
  • Buy fishing licences and locally brewed cider on site
In need of a few days (or weeks) basking in peaceful countryside, within leisurely reach of lengthy scenic wanders? Head along to Southfork Caravan Park, a family-friendly and dog-friendly site less than five minutes’ drive from the large Somerset village of Martock – it’ll tick all the right boxes. The site’s in the pretty Somerset Levels and there are plenty of walking options close to hand, starting with the 50-mile long Parrett Trail along the River Parrett, which active guests might be drawn to join less than a minute’s easy stroll from the site, and which joins up with the West Somerset Coast Path at Bridgwater Bay. Not much of a rambler? Try angling for a different pursuit with a day’s fishing on the river’s banks: fishing licences are available to buy from reception, there are rods to hire if dragging kit and caboodle from home isn’t possible, and coarse fisheries within 20 minutes give plenty of avenues for landing carp, bream, tench, roach and chub. When talk of fish sets mouths watering, this is the right place to be: the Somerset Levels are well known for top-notch food, beer and cider, so there are plenty of tasty options hereabouts, and barbecues are welcome on site when something home-cooked appeals. Wash eats down with a bottle (or two) of genuine Somerset cider, available on site from the small shop…

Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Nice and quiet Great sized pitch (stayed o the super pitch with grass) Good local walks by the river Good clean facilities We didn’t actually use it but there’s a great looking Cafe and Deli on site too!

Disliked: The only minor thing we found was the height of the fixed shower head, fine for me (5’6) but my partner is 6’1 and they’re too small to get underneath. Would have also liked a squeeze mop to clean up after having a shower (unless we just didn’t see them) - More preferences than dislikes, will definitely be back.

Local attractions

Somerset is famed for its cider, and stays at Southfork won’t disappoint on that front. The well-placed site is less than 10 minutes’ drive from Somerset Cider Brandy Company, producers of Somerset Cider Brandy and Burrow Hill Cider, and Perry’s Cider Mills and Bridge Farm Cider are open for visitors within 15 minutes. Pretty sweet, no? This isn’t just a top spot for fans of apple bevvies though… Anyone with a yen for wandering among flowers and trees is well served here too: East Lambrook Manor Gardens (home of Margery Fish’s ‘achievable’ cottage garden) are less than five minutes away, Tintinhull House Gardens are within 10 minutes, and Hestercombe is 40 minutes from the site. Prefer nature walks to be more wild and free? Step away from the cultivated lawns and meticulously planned box hedges with jaunts to the East Devon, Dorset and Blackdown Hills Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (all within 35 minutes), or head further afield with a trip to Exmoor National Park a little under an hour away. For traditional holiday days, the beaches of Somerset and Dorset – at Lyme Regis and Burnham-on-Sea – are within about an hour’s drive, and kids can be easily entertained at Longleat Safari Park, Wookey Hole and the West Somerset Railway, all within 45 minutes.
