  • Family-run Somerset farm site 10 minutes from the A303
  • On the Macmillan Way, 25 minutes' drive from Glastonbury
  • Firepits allowed and wood for sale on site
Set down for a stay surrounded by the south Somerset countryside at Willowbank Farm. At this family-run and family-friendly site run by farmer Martin, you'll be well-based for a spot of stargazing, wildlife spotting and plenty of fresh air. It's on the route of the 290-mile Macmillan Way footpath, 25 minutes' drive from Glastonbury and 40 minutes from Longleat's safari and adventure park. (And it's all easy to get to as well, as the A303 is a mere 10 minutes away – making it potentially rather handy for a stopover.) Surrounded by a working farm with fields actively farmed throughout the year, the site is pretty peaceful. Guests can pick a plot where they please. With all the open spaces, there’s plenty of places for kids to let off some steam and families to play games, look out for wildlife, build firepits (there is wood available to buy on site) or unwind with a barbecue (bring your own with you). As the site is off-grid, bring a torch along to avoid any late-night stumbles as you make your way to the composting toilets. If you're planning on doing a big shop for supplies, there are large supermarkets 20 minutes’ drive away in Wincanton or a smaller food shop good for the basics 10 minutes’ drive away. In Castle Cary (10 minutes’ drive), there are more food shops, butchers and pubs serving tasty grub. Or if you prefer your country pubs, there’s a cosy inn five minutes’ drive away too.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Well, I'ma be honest I haven't been camping in a while but this place was HEAVENLY no matter who you are when you see those stars at night- I swear closest to pure relaxation Ive ever been . There's gonna be some bad reviews about the toilets but tbh it was chill like they were well maintained and didn't smell too bad quite a fun first experience
Staff were polite
Cows were interesting
Veiws were stunning
Family time to the max
I love it there
Perfect middle of nowhere field with wildlife and serenity

Disliked Maybe a little bit of a drive but manageable
Or a washing up station or more taps

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A spacious and peaceful campsite with a real sense of privacy. The pitches are well maintained, the grass is neatly cut, and the whole site is spotless. The views are beautiful, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Mobile signal and data coverage are also good enough for everyday use. Highly recommended if you're looking for a quiet and chilled getaway.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked -nice quiet location, surrounded by lots of country side & nature.
-laid back host; pitch wherever you want.
-huge field which is well maintained.
-VERY reasonably priced. Well worth the money.

Disliked The only criticism I have is
-it’s a little tricky to find. The satnav took us to a farm house & barns. We managed to find the site after carrying on down the road a little further.
-there isn’t any hand sanitiser in the loos- so make sure to bring your own.

We would definitely stay again!
