Wild Whitty

Spacious wild-style campsite overlooking Taunton Vale in Somerset
Taunton 15 minutes' drive; Lyme Regis three quarters of an hour
Family-friendly, with a shallow stream and simple play area

Looking for camping without the big crowds? After a wild-style site where you'll have plenty of room to yourself? Then wend your way towards Wild Whitty, a small and intimate site in the gorgeous Somerset countryside around Curland. Sitting in Taunton Vale and with lovely rural views, this family-run, family-focused site is based on a 30-acre smallholding. You can pitch up on a number of plots here, surrounded by wildflowers or down by a meandering shallow stream where kids can safely plan (under adult supervision, of course). After a spot of fossil-hunting around the water, younger guests can build dens (materials are provided) or head to a small basic play area and amuse themselves. There's a lot of wildlife around here, plus a couple of resident sheep and a few chickens – what more could you ask for? Facilities include a large oak picnic bench which can comfortably seat up to 10. Firepits are provided and wood is sold on site. Freshly-prepared breakfast boxes can be ordered in advance and home-made cakes and ice creams are sold. In terms of essentials, there is a hot shower and composting loo located in a wagon house, where there's also limited solar-powered USB charging available.
