Family-friendly site in a rural spot three miles from Frome
A 15-minute drive from Longleat House and Longleat Safari Park
Firepits and games room on site

Set on a Somerset break? It's a crafty move to grab a spot at The Den and Orchard, a family-friendly site on the edge of Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It just so happens that there are plenty of walks nearby, as well as other days out in the local area including fishing, mountain biking, visits to National Trust properties and the excellent Longleat Safari Park. Firepits are positioned on every pitch for a laidback evening of cooking and flame gazing. The appointed chef can acquire essentials at the supermarkets in Frome, three miles away. If you'd rather let someone else do the honours, it's possible to order local food delivery from your phone or take a short five-minute drive to local food outlets. Facilities on site include a washing-up area and a wooden toilet block with gents’ and ladies’ toilets and showers. A games room (with darts, table football and table tennis) is on hand too, for damp evenings and general entertainment. Being just under half a mile from an A road, you may hear some road noise at rush hour or if the wind is blowing in the site's direction. Just outside of Frome, it's a bit noisier here than at a fully rural site, but it's very handy for getting around and also for ordering from takeaways in Frome or quickly picking up supplies in town.

Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Lovely campsite with great facilities. Very obviously a new site but very well done. Great games room, park and facilities for all including fire pits and bbqs

Disliked: Pitches aren’t specific so ended up with a camper facing in to ours which wasn’t great. We like our own space.

Electric grass and gravel tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We were regulars before the new owners took over. Wow what a difference!! Really makes a difference having the electric hook up, very handy. Appreciated the extra bathrooms, showers and wash stations. All kept very clean and tidy. Kids enjoyed the games room especially the arcade game. Free wifi, i didnt use it but the kids did and it worked to the end of the orchard. We liked that we could buy drinks from the club house and warm up whilst playing table tennis as it was a bit cold this time of year late at night. New owners are very kind and very helpful. Perfect base for longleat.

Disliked: Slightly missed the option to use the grass to play games as now all allocated pitches with gravel road in the middle. Pitches are a really good size but we were just not used to being so close to other campers. It would not put us off rebooking though. It's like all things, when it's so different to what you're used too it takes time to adjust but we really like it there and will be back!

Alana C. Sept 2024

Electric grass and gravel tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We loved how clean the facilities all were. The bathrooms were spacious and the family bathrooms were a great option. We liked all the little touches that made things so much easier such as the sponges and washing up liquid left by the sinks and the electric kettle available.

Disliked: Our only negative was the amount of sound early in the morning from the main road. Although this cannot be helped and the site was amazing at giving us a heads up about it. It was the only thing that we could fault.

Anonymous Sept 2024

Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Friendly owner.

Disliked: The field adjacent to the site is next to a very busy noisy road. We spent four nights here and for two solid days (from 8.00am-8.00pm), the field adjacent on the other side of this small site, a huge digger, used in a full scale construction site, was in use, creating the most horrendous noise. This was not the quiet chilled relaxed stay we envisaged.

Crabby Apple cabin

Liked: The Crabby Apple was perfect for our 2 night stay, I loved that it had all the essentials like a kettle, cups, tea, coffee and sugar. It also had bowls and plates etc. The bed was comfortable and it was perfect for me and my little girl, who especially loved the park right outside and the games room. The grounds of the campsite are really well maintained, and beautifully set out with parking spaces next to each pitch and it's all enclosed with a lock code entry and exit system, totally safe for letting the little ones run around without worrying. The toilet and shower areas are very clean and spacious. The additional sinks and wash areas are also very clean and well maintained. Although the cabin we stayed in was the smallest it was perfect for us. The 2 bigger cabins next to us were occupied and we got talking to the lovely families who stayed there and got to see inside and they were also lovely with bunk beds and couches, I would love to stay again and go for one of the bigger ones. The families onsite camping around us were also very friendly and my daughter made lots of friends with the other kids who all enjoyed playing together in the amazing park you have, (which is better than most of the public parks we have back home) all in all we loved our stay and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a lovely peaceful, beautifully looked after and friendly campsite to stay at, either as a couple or a family with children. Thank you to our lovely hosts for having us, can't wait to stay again in the future

Disliked: There wasn't anything we disliked. Everything was perfect.

Electric grass and gravel tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Simply the cleanest, tidiest, neatest, most well organised campsite we’ve ever stayed at. Very good, clear communication. Wi-fi was easy to connect to, and was fast. Didn’t drop at all. Hot water was immediate. Wash facilities were excellent. Clearly marked pitches, with enough room to feel private, whilst part of the community.

Disliked: The nearby road noise is significant. Didn’t matter during the day, but certainly affected our sleep.

Local attractions

Work up an appetite for the next meal tackling the mountain bike trails at Windhill Bike Park or seeking out one of the circular walking trails in the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; both are about 10 minutes away by car. If you’d like your walks to take in pretty gardens and historic buildings, head to Nunney Castle (five minutes’ drive), The Walled Garden at Mells (10 minutes) or Stourhead National Trust property (15 minutes). Bath’s half an hour away for urban strolls with a Roman tinge, and fishing is 15 minutes away at Shearwater Lake for those who need a bit of a rest. You’ll easily fill a day over at Longleat (15 minutes away), driving the safari trails, visiting all the different animal areas, touring the house and pottering through the pleasure gardens. The famed caves and kid-friendly attractions at Wookey Hole are about half an hour away.
