  • Small adults-only site on organic working farm on the Somerset Levels
  • A 10-minute drive from Glastonbury; 15 minutes from Wells
  • Gastro pub and tea rooms just over a mile away
Looking for a peaceful pitstop surrounded by green meadows with views towards the Mendip Hills and Glastonbury Tor? Just as the nearby Avalon Marshes nature reserves welcome resting birds, Garslade Farm is a friendly place to relax and take it easy for a bit. In the winter, these fields are home to an organic sheep business run by Mike and Bridget, whose family have looked after this land since 1830. When summer comes, the lambs make way for the caravan park and campsite – with hard tracks throughout to give the humans easy access. You could spend your whole break soaking up the serenity of these surroundings, but if you want to do a few days trips, a wander around the cathedral city of Wells would be a suitably civilised way to start. Take the short but strenuous hike up Glastonbury Tor to spot all the sights in this unique landscape, then gawp at Britain’s biggest gorge – and go below into the caverns – at Cheddar Gorge. Practicalities on site are covered with toilets, showers, washing up, recycling and wifi. Barbecues are allowed, but you might decide to let someone else do all the hard work at the award-winning gastro pub in Godney – just over a mile away – or the tea rooms at Double Gate Farm (you’ll need to book ahead before all the chips or scones get gobbled up). Whichever you pick, there should be a good night's sleep to follow, as there's an 11pm noise curfew on site.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: The quiet location between Glastonbury & Wells with a view of Glastonbury Tor. Good facilities. Appreciated having a hot shower every morning & a freezer for my iceblocks. Also appreciated being able to park next to my tent & being able to use my firepit. Met the owner Bridget on arrival who is helpful & friendly. I was very lucky with the weather! Thank you for a lovely 4 night stay.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Always such a beautiful place to stay. A very enriching time with stunning scenery excellent facilities and pitches. It is also a very sacred land and holds much to be discovered. The rates are so very reasonable too. The staff are always delightful, down to earth and very friendly. My partner and I have visited several times and are always so very excited and thrilled when we get the chance to come back. Wonderful views of the Tor and stunning walks available and always so much to do in the ever vibrant and exciting Glastonbury. We always feel so very energised and refreshed after spending time at Garslade farm. Thankyou just doesn’t cut it !

Disliked: Nothing!

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Arrived on site ok no problem to find. Met by staff who looks after everything. Very helpful pointed out where we could camp. Facilities all in converted barns simple but clean and fairly tidy . Hot water in sinks with electric shower being available. Location handy for cycling on lanes but field walking difficult as many cows and sheep abide there. All in all good site for what you pay. Would return again.

Local attractions

The Somerset Levels and Moors make up one of the largest lowland wetlands in Britain and a visit to the Avalon Marshes Centre and RSPB nature reserves will introduce you to their history and ecology. Time your visit right and you may witness the incredible starling murmurations. If you love shopping you really need to experience the unique mix of retailers in Glastonbury, a town long linked with the mythical and mystical. For a more mainstream selection try Clark’s Village factory shopping outlet. Meanwhile, Cheddar’s the place to shop for cheese (and cider). A classic seaside day out can be had at Weston-super-Mare – sandcastles, fish and chips, donkey rides on the beach, entertainments on the pier, it’s all here. Or if you’d like a different view of the coast, head to Brean Down, a 300ft-high headland that sticks out a mile and a half into the Bristol Channel with a ruined Napoleonic fort at the end.
