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.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: I was aware that there were no shower facilities but dismayed by the state of the toilets. They were falling down and in a bad state of repair. Access to taps and to dish washing facilities was also poor.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, I am sorry you didn't enjoy your stay and our toilets were in such a disappointing state. We have now fixed the step and are back to regular cleaning. Unfortunately we had pretty much closed off the campsite due to the wet ground and I'm sorry we were not keeping on top of things.

Excellent site.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Such a lovely site loved that our pitch was in a little hide out and close to the toilets the owners were lovely and welcoming. Woke up in the morning to pop and see the farm animals goats pigs and donkeys and was treated good morning by both owners was lovely so many shops near by we arrived late to pitch so popped to a local garage for fire wood and used the communal fire pit to toast marshmallows. Toilets were lovely and clean.

Disliked: The only thing that could improve this site is shower rooms but that’s only because then I could stay longer than a night it really is a lovely place and we will be visiting again.

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Gorgeous location. My son loved paddling in the stream and playing on the rope swings dotted about. Blackboard with name to tell us where to go was cool! Good recycling and friendly campsite.

Disliked: The weather! Lol! If I'm nitpicking, the grass was very long... its always easier to pitch on shorter grass, especially when it's wet.

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Both my children (aged 14 and 10) loved the river and rope swing and the animals, it feels very open and spacious, so plenty of room to run and play games.

Disliked: We could only find one toilet emptying facility which we weren't confident enough to drive up to.

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Nice spot near stream with pretty views.

Disliked: Grass was far too long for camping. Compost toilets stank. Despite stating there were washing up facilities, there was no hot water whenever I tried. Took our washing up home as only staying for a night. Would have been mad if staying longer

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, I'm sorry the grass was so long - with all the rain in July and August, it has grown like crazy and it was hard to find a dry spell to mow. Otherwise we get complaints that people are ending up with wet cut grass in their tents. We have now replaced the gas cylinder so hot water is back - I'm sorry we hadn't realised it had run out. Glad you enjoyed the river and the views.

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.
