  • Peaceful camping field with year-round facilities
  • National Trust and English Heritage properties close by
  • Hike the 20 minutes up Ham Hill from the site
Check out this well-connected Somerset pub site… The Masons Arms is in the good-looking hamstone village of Odcombe near Yeovil, surrounded by topping walking trails – the 20-minute hike up Ham Hill is thoroughly recommended just to start strolls off. The Masons Arms is close to many Somerset attractions including National Trust and English Heritage properties, but is set peacefully well away from the main road. And as it's a pub site, dinner and drinks in the Arms each evening are also thoroughly recommended (the bar and restaurant are closed on Monday and reopen at 4pm on Tuesday) - no fights needed about who's going to drive home… Facilities at the Masons Arms include a modern unisex amenities block with two toilets, two showers, three sinks, a washing-up area, a hairdryer, an iron and an ironing board.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its lovely location, excellent pub with good food, and friendly, helpful staff. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are generally found to be clean and well-maintained, though some mention they could benefit from an update. Pitches are often described as level and peaceful. Some feedback notes that the shower lights can be short-lived and the push-button showers require constant holding. Rubbish bin management and occasional overcrowding on weekends are mentioned by a few visitors.

Local attractions

Sunny days, rainy days and everything in between are all covered around The Masons Arms: check out the area's historic houses, its many walks, cider farms, museums… The pub is surrounded by walking country including many footpaths around the village and the walk to Ham Hill which can be reached with minimal road walking. Also within walking distance is the National Trust's Montacute House, an Elizabethan mansion surrounded by green gardens. Yeovil town centre is about 10 minutes' drive away and there are plenty of small Somerset villages to delve into too – most with yet more cosy Somerset pubs. Or motor around the local museums like the Fleet Air Arm and Haynes Motor Museum, both under 10 miles away. If you fancy a beach and heritage day out, the Jurassic Coast is within about 40 minutes' drive.
