  • Stourhead 15 minutes’ drive and Longleat 20 minutes
  • Basic off-grid pitches surrounded by wildlife; shops 15 minutes’ drive
If you’d like to give back to the land on your West Country camping holiday, then Heal Somerset is the place for you. At 15 minutes’ drive from Bruton, this is a pop-up site on a rewilding farm, with a wild vibe and spectacular views over Somerset valleys. The peaceful camping field is neatly mown and there are no numbered pitches, so you can choose where to pitch your tent. There is no warden around on site, so this really is a full-on wild camping experience with a basic setup including a mains water tap and compost loo in the field. There are additional toilets, a hot shower and washing-up facilities in a barn around 300 metres from the camping area. Once you’re settled in, you can follow mown paths to the rewilding area and see how the land is responding; hopefully you’ll also spot some of the abundant wildlife that now calls it home. For the benefit of that wildlife, dogs are not allowed on site (unless they are assistance dogs). To preserve the feeling of a retreat in untamed nature, vehicles aren’t allowed on the camping field; it’s a 500-metre walk up a track from the parking area. However, any heavy gear can be dropped off before you park. There is a railway line in the valley, with occasional trains passing through. The sound is brief and train lines make great wildlife corridors, so hopefully it won’t disturb you at all.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked I loved this site. I was able to drop my camping gear at the field and then park the car. It had a clean compost loo and tap with beautiful views. Within hours I had a visit from a hare, the first of many sightings, and later, the privilege of seeing a beaver family. There are lots of trails to explore and some very large but friendly pigs. Whilst the site does not have a warden, all the team members were helpful and phone numbers are displayed if needed. I will definitely visit again and look forward to seeing even more wildlife during the rewilding process. Perfect for those who enjoy peaceful camping.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Peaceful, beautiful place. Saw deer in the evening and a hare in the morning. Beavers are making a dam in the river. New shower and toilets near the entrance as well as composting loo in camping field. Owners very welcoming. Heal Rewilding is a great project.
(I didn't use wi-fi but can't un-select the optional wi-fi star rating after selecting it by mistake, so I'm leaving it at 10 stars).

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

There’s a station in Bruton (15 minutes’ drive) if you’re travelling by public transport. The village is home to restaurants and shops as well as Hauser & Wirth Somerset (10 minutes’ walk from the centre). The latter is well-worth a visit for its contemporary art displays; you can tour art installations in the gardens for free. Frome (20 minutes’ drive) has shops and supermarkets as well as concerts and market stalls in the Cheese and Grain events venue. There’s a lot of history in this corner of Somerset too; you can nose around the handsome Palladian mansion at National Trust-owned Stourhead (15 minutes), and then explore the extensive gardens filled with follies and water features. Perhaps you’d also like to walk up to Alfred’s Tower for stunning views over Somerset and Wiltshire? Moated Nunney Castle (also 15 minutes) is a romantic medieval ruin that is free to wander. If you have kids with you, combine culture with a family day out at Longleat (20 minutes); take a self-guided look at Longleat House and then move on to spotting lions, giraffes and elephants in the safari park.
