  • Rural Somerset site crossed by a stream a five-minute drive from Frome
  • Longleat 10 minutes’ drive; Wookey Hole Caves 35 minutes
  • Play area with miniature adventure course
A gorgeously rural corner of Somerset is the setting for Seven Acres Camping Site, which stretches over (you guessed it…) seven acres on the edge of the Longleat Estate, a five-minute drive from the town of Frome. A stream runs through the site, which is just off the B3092; this makes it easy to access, but it also means you may hear some traffic noise. A railway line runs parallel to the road, too… but you might find that the jolly whistling of a passing train rather adds to the romance of camping. It’s all about perspective, isn’t it? Regardless, forget the possible noises and accentuate the positive, starting with oodles of space and a play area with play equipment and a miniature adventure course where the kids can climb, slide and swing to their hearts’ content (while you keep an eye on proceedings from the nearby shaded bench). Your canine companion is not left behind either, with plenty of dog-friendly walks in the surrounding area. Have a go at the circular Mells Walk (10 minutes’ drive), following the course of the Mells River; or head to Clanger Wood (20 minutes’ drive), known for its bluebell meadows and colourful butterflies. Cranborne Chase National Landscape (35 minutes) has trails leading through its distinctive landscape of chalk river valleys and escarpments; this area is also an International Dark Skies Reserve, so be sure you have all you need to stay until after sundown for some spectacular stargazing.

What customers say

This is a beautiful, clean, and well-maintained site set amongst mature trees with a lovely stream. Pitches are generally spacious and well-kept, with many offering a good balance of sun and shade. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are frequently described as new, clean, and immaculate. The park and playing field are great for children, with a popular climbing frame and the stream providing opportunities for paddling. The self-check-in process is noted as easy and fast. Owners are consistently praised for being friendly and helpful. Some guests experienced issues with pitch allocation, limited toilet facilities during peak times, and parking arrangements, with a few mentioning traffic or train noise.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely site, we stayed for one night while visiting a friend. Toilets/showers clean, two showers didn’t seem to be used maybe just having frosted glass. Little play area in the tent field the children seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Nice open camping field, surrounded by trees and plenty of space for children to run around.

Disliked A few things let this lovely site down. We had no electric so a freezer to re freeze blocks would have been a great help also lockers to charge phones.
There are 3 showers in ladies but only one gets used as others you need to get changed in toilet corridor.
The toilet paper kept running out, a large lockable roll might be better.
The sinks are large and high so a step would be useful for children.
Proper recycling bins. The mixed recycling bin was used for waste.
Some of the site was a bit messy, we did a litter pick collecting old cans from the newly cleared wooded area.

Would think twice about visiting during a busy time, if at all.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Neither liked or disliked site as such. Spacing not as great as add. suggested, but acceptable. See below for down side

Disliked Arrived to find allocated pitch occupied. No onsite reception. Eventually owner turned up. Appears he had moved us to another pitch, totally unsuitable for a campervan, to enable groups of friends to have adjacent pitches. Claims to have to have texted of the change the morning of the arrival day. Did not receive it. Suggested too full for an alternative hard standing pitch. Grass pitch found.
Toilets clean but only two ladies and two ladies/ men for approximately 50 pitches. Fresh water supply was one tap close to the ground

Alicia S.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Loved the stream, the field with no cars in it, the woodland walk and the facilities.

Disliked When we booked it said cars aren't allowed on the pitch, but didn't realise you need to use wheelbarrows/carts (provided) to carry your stuff over the little bridge into the field. After the little bit of overwhelm of the thought of moving our stuff it was absolutely fine as its part of the experience and the boys loved using the carts!

Local attractions

Budding zoologists might enjoy a day at Longleat (10 minutes’ drive), where you can drive through vast enclosures housing big cats, wolves and rhinos; get hopelessly lost in Britain’s largest hedge maze; and take a tour of the 16th-century stately home, with its splendid artworks and tapestries. Wookey Hole Caves (35 minutes), on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills National Landscape, features a subterranean network of limestone caverns and passages with evocative names like Witch’s Kitchen. After having a go at the caving experience, check out the lifesize creatures at Dinosaur Valley or unwind on the miniature golf course. Treat yourself to a visit to Bath (35 minutes). The Roman bath complex in the centre of town includes a sacred spring and a museum displaying ancient artefacts. Follow that with afternoon tea at the Regency Tea Room at the Jane Austen Centre, where you can pretend to be Emma or Mr Darcy.
