  • Well-maintained campsite edging the Somerset Levels near Bridgwater
  • A 20-minute drive to Glastonbury Tor; half an hour to Burnham-on-Sea
  • Homemade gelato available on select afternoons during high season
With carefully maintained pitches set among flower beds and trees, Thornhills Farm’s camping area is based just outside the village of Othery on the edge of the Somerset Levels. Whether you’re overnighting on the way further down to the West Country or sticking around to explore locally, getting here is easy as the M5 is only 20 minutes’ drive away. Keen to get to know Somerset? You’re in the right place, as hereabouts you’re surrounded by the wetland Levels, plus the Mendip Hills and Quantock Hills Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Historic towns including Taunton and Glastonbury are within easy reach, as is coastal Burnham-on-Sea. Spotless facilities on this family-run holiday park – which spreads over two acres – include a modern shower block, a washing machine and tumble dryer to take care of your holiday clothes, and bottled gas (available for a small charge). And you’ll sleep soundly at night knowing that the electric gates at the entrance to the site are firmly closed for your security. On select Saturdays during the summer months, guests can get their hands on handmade Italian gelato. The site is also dog-friendly, and while there are limited walks from the farm, there are plenty within five minutes' drive. Just remember, the site is in the middle of Somerset, home to a large farming community. The site is next to a working farm, there may be farming noise.

Liked Very well run, peaceful site, (apart from occasional farm noises and a little bit of road noise), where you feel well looked after by Kitty, the manager.
Immaculately clean showers and loos with plenty of lovely hot water.

Disliked It wasn’t a problem for us, as we were only there two nights, but there are no pubs or shops within walking distance, which could be a problem for some people

Liked Tidy pitches with shrubbery and trees to make the pitch feel private. Well spaced out small quiet site. Fully serviced pitches. Toilet and laundry were modern and immaculate with very spacious showers. Staff were very friendly and came to greet you on arrival.

Local attractions

Wildlife lovers, start your exploration of Somerset at RSPB Greylake (five minutes’ drive), where you can (hopefully) catch sight of waders and raptors – of the latter, keep an eye out for endangered marsh harriers. Eastfield Nature Reserve (10 minutes) is a grassland reserve that comes alive with butterflies in summer, and the botanists among you can seek out rare orchids too. There’s plenty more for walkers to enjoy: discover the wetland meadows of the Somerset Levels (five minutes) for strolls through reed beds bordering the River Parrett – and then get a bird’s-eye view over the marshes with a hike up Glastonbury Tor (20 minutes), topped by the ruins of 14th-century St Michael’s Church. If you’re feeling the call of bracing sea air, turn north for a dip in the sea off the sandy beach at Burnham-on-Sea (half an hour) or take the kids rock pooling at Kilve Beach (45 minutes). Heading to the south coast, Lyme Regis (an hour) and Charmouth (55 minutes) are the number-one spots to root around on the beach for fossils.
