  • Marked-out pitches or pick your own: site bordered by the River Axe
  • Wookey Hole 2.5 miles; Wells 3.5 miles
  • Farm animals, rope swings and on-site farm shop; pub/café half a mile
What a bewitching place. And most especially for kids: Wookey Farm, a couple of miles from the famed Wookey Hole Caves (and their famed witch), is a tiptop option for small sorts and their owners, with loads of space to run around and a menagerie of animals to coo over. Older offspring will be sizzling with excitement on hearing that they can stoke flames and get social at the communal campfire area, while bigger folk will probably be content to bring along a firepit and laze idly on the family pitch, taking in the views of the Mendip Hills and towards Hembury and Yarley hills… Off site, it's three and a half miles from the farm to cutely compact Wells, six miles to Glastonbury, and a drive of 45 minutes to the coast at Weston-super-Mare. The site is on a small, family-run goat farm where guests are most welcome to meet the menagerie (sheep, pigs, hens and a donkey live here too) and find out all about running a farm. All pitches are in a level two-and-a-half-acre space with marked pitches or in an overflow meadow bordered by the River Axe: you can opt to be as mixed in or as far away as you like. Splashing, paddling and critter spotting can all be had in the river, as can back and forthing merrily on the rope tyre swing over the water (more swings are around the site if this seems slightly too hair-raising). Wookey Farm is an eco-friendly site, with emphasis on keeping things as natural as possible. Facilities are basic but well kept: four compost toilets and washbasins, cleaned twice a day; a washing-up area with water tap alongside; and plenty of facilities for sorting your rubbish (recycling and food waste contributions are keenly welcomed). For those barbecue supplies, the farm is just down the lane from Wookey village's café, shop and three pubs. There's also an on-site farm shop selling the farm's own goat's cheese, goat's milk and meat, along with alcohol, snacks and gifts.

What customers say

This peaceful, rural campsite offers spacious pitches, a lovely river and stream for paddling, and farm animals to entertain children. Visitors appreciate the eco-friendly ethos, fire pits, and clean compost toilets, although some found them smelly. Lack of showers is noted, but the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful surroundings make it a popular choice for short stays.

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely campsite. Clean facilities, nice big pitches, little stream with some tree swings on site, which was lovley with the weather we've had. The farm was a lovely added touch. My children loved being able to walk around looking at the animals. Nice little shop onsite selling their own produce. Only a short drive to Cheddar Gorge, wells and Glastonbury. We will definitely be back

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked Nice river and goats. They look better after the goats than after the campsite.

Disliked Everything else was not in good condition, the space needs to be looked after. The toilets were extremely smelly, we had to leave to a different campsite in the final.

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked The meadow was absolutely beautiful and everything my kids could ask for. Loads of lovely stream to paddle in, goats in the field over the stream to make friends with and loads of space to run wild.
It was a lovely chilled out atmosphere, no set pitches and plenty of space and freedom to do your own thing.
The toilets were definitely the nicest compost loos we've used and we really appreciated that they had running water for the sinks in them!

Disliked Whilst the loos were probably as good as compost loos can be, they did get quite hot and stinky towards the end each day. We were here in the heatwave though, in normal weather they would probably be fine.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked A lovely rural site. Very quiet, rabbits & squirrels running about. Other animals to visit. An easy distance to both Wells & Wookey Hole by electric bikes. Didn’t get to try the shop.

Disliked A bit tricky to set up the electric, but got there in the end. Worked out at £5 for the 2 days, which is reasonable compared with other sites.

Local attractions

The farm is within easy reach of many top spots as well as Wookey Hole Caves, Glastonbury, Wells and Weston-super-Mare: spectacular Cheddar Gorge is 20 minutes' drive away, Longleat and Bath within 50, and Bristol just under an hour. Quieter times await around the region's walks, such as along the 30 miles of the West Mendip Way running from Wells via Wookey to the sea at Uphill, or the Strawberry Line (also 30 miles), a traffic-free route across Somerset from Shepton Mallet to Clevedon. Closer to home, amble along the River Axe flowing through the farm. Till ringers and fashion fans should take their wallets to Clarks Village, 20 minutes away, for outlet shopping and the Shoe Museum.
