Orchard View: View of bell tent (photo added by manager on 11/04/2023)

General

  • Small, peaceful south Somerset five minutes' drive from Wedmore
  • Wookey Hole, Cheddar Gorge and Wells Cathedral within 20 mins' drive
  • One-acre camping field in a secluded orchard; dogs welcome on site

Peace and pretty views come as standard at Orchard View – this small-scale site in the south Somerset countryside has been set up in a secluded apple orchard with a backdrop of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

There’s plenty of space to pitch up comfortably here, with an acre of land set aside for the campsite and guest numbers kept on the low side. The village of Wedmore is about five minutes’ drive away for shops, pubs, restaurants and other handy amenities.

This is a super spot for those aiming to get out for walks or bike rides – there are footpaths and bridleways all around, taking you through the woods and foothills that run down to the Somerset Levels. Cheddar Gorge is about 20 minutes away by car if you want to take a hike between the craggy cliffs over there for a change of scenery.

Various essential amenities are back on site for guests – including a toilet and sink, showers, a chemical waste disposal point and water/waste water facilities. Dogs are welcome to join you at this site, which is well geared up for travelling pets.

If you like to finish up your camping days by building a blaze of some sort, you’ll be in good company here – open fires and barbecues are welcome in the designated areas, and logs, charcoal and firelighters are all available to buy on site.

Please note

The site does not accept breeds/crossbreeds listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act (i.e. Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, and Fila Brasileiro).

Group bookings of 8 or more adults are not permitted (couples and immediate family members excepted).

Commercial vehicles (vehicles used for work-related purposes, carrying goods or fare-paying passengers) and sign-written vehicles are not permitted on site.

At least one of the party members must be aged 18 or over.

Guests are advised to bring a good quality torch with them as parts of the site are unlit.

No naked flames are allowed inside the hired accommodation units.

Please note that the toilet/shower facilities are unisex.

    Beautiful gem of a site in really pretty and quiet rural location. Small but perfect .. simple beautifully clean showers and loos in wooden cabins, shared fire pits a lovely little orchard and horses to look at. The icing on the cake are the wonderful family who run it. We broke down while there in our van and they were incredibly kind and helpful. Will definitely be back.
    Absolute bliss for me and my adult son.

Lovely, peaceful campsite set in an orchard.14/08/2023

    This is a small and peaceful campsite set within an orchard. The pitches are a good size. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. The facilities are clean with lovely hot showers. There were a couple of ponies in the adjoining paddock. Fire pits are available and wood etc can be purchased for a toasty night by the fire while enjoying a view of the stars. Very close to and convenient for birdwatching at the reserves on the Somerset Levels.

    Friendly and helpful hosts.
    Great areas for camping with good ground which was level, with nice grass and no stones so easy to peg tents.
    Quiet and peaceful setting.
    Clean toilets, showers and washing up facilities.

    Disliked: 

    No hot water in toilets or washing up area.
    One toilet had good shelves to put toiletry bag or towels on, but the other toilet had none, not even a hook for a towel.

Local attractions

If the sight of all those apples has put you in the mood for a few sips of cider, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s only a half-hour walk to Lands End Farm, where Roger sells flagons of his award-winning cider alongside local cheeses and other bits and pieces for your picnic. For a different tipple, head to Fenny Castle Vineyard (10 minutes’ drive) for a tour and a browse of the shop.

The natural landscapes around here are equally enticing, whether you stay above ground for hikes around Cheddar Gorge and Ebbor Gorge National Nature Reserve (both 20 minutes) or delve underground to explore Wookey Hole caves (15 minutes).

Elsewhere nearby you might like to take a stroll around the cathedral city of Wells (20 minutes), hit the beach in Burnham-on-Sea (25 minutes) or take a trip to Glastonbury (25 minutes) for the abbey, indie shops and a walk up Glastonbury Tor.
