General
- Peaceful and scenic farm site with views of the Blackdown Hills
- Exeter, Exmoor National Park and Lyme Regis within a 40-minute drive
- Fenced pitches with access to off-lead dog park and lounge/picnic area
Restful breaks in rural Somerset and views of the Blackdown Hills… Sounds rather pleasant, doesn't it? That magic mix of peace and quiet and far-reaching country views is exactly what's on offer at Buckland Farm Camping, a spacious site near the small village of West Buckland.
Buckland Farm Campsite is surrounded by pretty trees, hedges and a little stream – a landscape that lends itself to relaxed walks and cycle rides (many of which are directly accessible from the farm). The facilities here are also geared towards outdoor living, with highlights including a picnic area, a playground and an off-lead dog park where four-legged friends can run free (please keep dogs on leads in all other parts of the campsite). And handily, for those rainy days, a covered communal area is available, with seating, books, local guides and games, along with picnic tables outside for when it brightens up.
Other additions like a small shower block, a charging station for mobile phones, composting toilets, freezers, taps for drinking water and a washing-up station will all doubtless come in handy. You can either park in a drive-on area or in a field adjacent to the car-free area (where carting your kit to the pitches is made easier by wheelbarrows).
For dog owners, there are even a couple of fenced pitches, please contact the site owner if you would like to request one of these pitches as they are first come, first served and incur a £4 a night charge.
Off site, a number of excellent country pubs can be reached within a 10-minute drive; Taunton town centre is a quarter of an hour away.
Open from 27/04/2023 to 01/10/2023

Local attractions
The Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty starts just over the road from the farm and is full of places to explore, whether you feel like doing that on foot, by bike or on horseback. Nearby starting points for adventures include the Wellington Monument (10 minutes' drive), the tallest three-sided obelisk in the world, or nature reserves like Quants Wood (five minutes).
Exploring the surrounding county of Somerset is also a breeze, whether you're heading to the county town of Taunton (15 minutes) to see the castle, museum and shops or fancy jaunts to the nearby Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (20 minutes). Day trips to the coast and the stunning Exmoor National Park can also both be sorted in 40 minutes by road or less.
It's unlikely you'll spend your whole time in Somerset, though, as Devon's also on your doorstep. Exeter city centre is half an hour away, while beach time and fossil hunting in Lyme Regis (40 minutes) or trips on Seaton Tramway (40 minutes) are also equally accessible.
