Two-acre site on a family-run smallholding in Bishops Lydeard
Five minutes' walk from West Somerset Railway steam trains
Rural site backed by woodland; two pubs within a few minutes' walk

If you like to arrive in style on your holidays, this is certainly a place where you can do just that… Bishops Lydeard Caravan and Camping Site is one of those rare places where you can ride into town on a steam railway, thanks to the West Somerset Railway station a mere five minutes’ walk away. Those planning to ride the rails at a later point, meanwhile, should be pleased to hear that access in a more conventional manner is also straightforward, as the A358 passes fairly nearby. Either way, this is a rather splendid spot with pitches spread across a two-acre field surrounded by protected woodland just on the edge of the village. It’s all been set up in the grounds of the 18th-century Greenway House, a Grade II-listed building that was once part of the adjoining Sandhill Park estate. It’s now a family-run smallholding, so you’ll share the space with ducks, geese and chickens and there are more farm animals to spot in the surrounding fields. As well as being a top spot for train enthusiasts and those in search of farm stays, this place also has much to offer walkers, cyclists and folk travelling with four-legged companions, thanks to the plethora of pathways in the surrounds. And it’s also rather handy that there are two fine pubs and a microbrewery within a few minutes’ walk… Life on site is pretty simple, with a few amenities set up in the form of portable toilets, water taps, a chemical disposal point and a shower room. Barbecues are permitted and there’s ice pack freezing available to keep provisions cool.

What customers say

This peaceful, rural campsite offers spacious, level grass pitches and friendly, helpful hosts. Its excellent location is within walking distance of the West Somerset Steam Railway, Quantock Brewery, and local village amenities. While facilities are described as basic, they are generally clean and include complimentary toiletries. Some guests noted minor issues with shower temperature or the limited number of washing-up sinks, but overall feedback highlights the site's tranquil atmosphere and excellent value.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Hosts, were very friendly and welcoming

Disliked Access to the site too narrow
Showers and toilets are only portaloos/temporary, think of festival
Great location for the railway

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I’m sorry that you misjudged the entrance driving in but we did offer assistance to complete entry and also offered help when leaving, however you declined and were able to exit without any problems. I’d like to clarify we have flushing normal toilets in our luxury toilet trailer. Our portaloos are only really used as a back up when exceptionally busy. We also have a 4 bay shower trailer with hot water sinks. A shower room with hot water pedestal sink. All our facilities are routinely checked and cleaned daily multiple times.

Lovely simple grass field with basic facilities

Liked Basic but perfectly sufficient, warm functioning showers, toilets were fine, ground was flat, bins and clean water and ancillaries available, flexible getting in and out

Disliked No mobile Internet in the area I pitched up in, but that is not a rule, other areas did have it.

Local attractions

Start local with a stroll up to the village to browse the farm shop, the Quantock Brewery, the tea rooms and the little rural life museum within Bishops Lydeard Mill. Just outside the village (but certainly worth travelling a mile for) is a smart hotel where you can pick up day passes for the swimming pool, spa and nine-hole golf course. If you need an excuse to book in for some pampering, perhaps a few long walks or bike rides would fit the bill? There are plenty of options in the nearby Quantock Hills National Landscape, around the Blackdown Hills National Landscape (20 minutes’ drive) or over in the Exmoor National Park (15 minutes). And one mustn’t forget the coast – the South West Coast Path starts in Minehead (half an hour), and it’s got plenty of beachy activities too. A little inland from Minehead is the splendid Dunster Castle; other fab options for days out nearby might include horse riding (10 minutes from the site) or gentle strolls around Hestercombe House & Gardens (15 minutes).
