- Pop-up site with views across Exmoor and the Bristol Channel
- A five-minute drive from Timberscombe and 10 from Dunster
- Woodland and countryside walking trails leading straight from the park
Settle down in Somerset at Allercott Farm for a trip to a family-friendly pop-up site. With seven acres of green fields to explore, this is just the kind of spot that’s excellent for embracing the experience of all-natural stays. As if that wasn’t already enough, there’s also the fact that Timberscombe, a riverside village in Exmoor National Park, is a five-minute drive away.
Light a campfire and let the smaller travellers run free while you gaze over the cairn-topped summit of Dunkery Beacon and the Bristol Channel beyond. Make a note to bring binoculars – on a clear day, Wales’ Brecon Beacons can be seen on the horizon. A fence and hedge encircle the site, meaning that you won’t be worried about the kids straying too far.
If the views inspire you to get out and stroll, set off towards the southern edge of the farm, which has a marked woodland trail and access to a public footpath. There's also the Coleridge Way, about a mile up the road towards Wheddon Cross.
The facilities here include a portable toilet, a cold tap and waste disposal bins, plus a hot shower. Well-behaved dogs with considerate owners are welcome; logs are available for purchase for those who plan on getting a fire on the go come nightfall. Those staying on Saturday nights can also treat themselves to a freshly baked wood-fired pizza on site.
Open from 26/05/2023 to 04/09/2023

Local attractions
Dash into Dunster (10 minutes' drive) to stroll around its independent shops, or sip ales in one of its cosy traditional pubs. The place is also stuffed with history: the age-old Dunster Yarn Market and National Trust-run Dunster Castle are both well worth a visit, as is the 16th-century dovecote that’s tucked away behind the main street.
After perusing the above, you could set out from Dunster and walk to Dunster Beach in roughly 40 minutes, or drive down the coast to Minehead (20 minutes) for fish and chips by the sea, classic arcade amusements or steam train trips on the West Somerset Heritage Railway.
Outdoorsy types have lots of options too, including hiking to the top of Dunkery Beacon (15 minutes), taking in the scenery along the four-mile Porlock Woodland Walk (30 minutes), crossing the river Barle at Tarr Steps (25 minutes) or fishing for trout at Wimbleball Lake (20 minutes). The seaside villages of Lynton and Lynmouth (45 minutes) are also worth the journey, both as destinations in their own right and as starting points for a hike up to the gorgeous Valley of Rocks (50 minutes).
