Somerset Reindeer Ranch

From the second we arrived we couldn't fault this awesome find. Sarah and her husband were helpful and on hand at all times yet unintrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was relaxing, fun, secluded and most importantly the kids could play safely and they didn't want to leave which is always a good sign! We'd love to visit again.

Everything! Fantastic hosts, super friendly, all very safe and Covid compliant. Stunning setting. Both of our children said it was the best holiday ever.

Originally we were meant to stay at another campsite but we messed our booking up. We found Reindeer Ranch and managed to book in at last minute and I’m so glad we messed up our first booking! After a very stressful drive we were welcomed with a outside bar! Where I had some lovely cocktails to calm down with. The campsite owners were very friendly and accommodating. We pitched up and spent the night roasting marshmallows next to the fire pit next to our pitch and looking at the stars 😊 The next morning I booked some of the animal experiences to do with my partner, where we got to meet and feed a reindeer called dasher, some very cute 3 week old bunny’s called Cookie and Rose and my favourite bit meeting the fluffiest amazing dogs I have ever seen! I can’t recommend this place enough for family’s, even couples who want to get away and relax and animal lovers! Also the shower was lovely (I haven’t found one in my camping travels as nice as the ones they have there). Will definitely be coming again soon, hopefully for longer (as we only had a night there) and taking my mum too.

Nothing

We all loved this place, the warm welcome, the beautiful animals, the ability to have animal experiences (we'll return for these). Our girls loved the enchanted garden, we loved it too but also loved the cocktail bar! The BBQ but was lovely and cosy. This was our favourite family weekend away.

Nothing

There was nothing not to like about this site. It's definitely our favourite campsite so far. My 7 year old didn't even want to leave the site to explore the surrounding area. The site is secure with fully functioning toilets and showers that are kept clean and there is a cleaning cupboard so you can also help to keep it clean in the current covid climate or if it's not to your satisfaction. Recycling bins too, so you're not just chucking everything into one bin. The enchanted garden and toilet/shower/washing up area is beautiful and looks really pretty at night with the lights on. Sarah is both attentive but non intrusive and nothing is too much trouble. My daughter loved being surrounded by the reindeer and horses and watching them as well as the smaller animals in the enchanted garden and not forgetting the cats and dogs. My favourite was the donkey. We booked the unicorn experience for my daughter and she loved it, "best day ever" in her words and she can't wait to go back to school and tell her friends all about the unicorn and Santa's reindeers. Having our own fire pit and water tap was also a huge bonus. It's not a camping trip if we haven't roasted marshmallows at least once! All in all a magical stay.

Not a dislike but constructive criticism: there was no hot water at the washing up station. This in no way impacted our stay as we just boiled a kettle on our stove.
Road noise can be heard, so if you're sensitive to noise it may not be for you. We live near a main road anyway, so it didn't bother us.

There's a lot to like. It's a small site, with staff that really can't do enough for you.

If you love animals, they're all around you: horses and reindeer are in the fields by the camping pitches, the farm cats and dog are likely to wander around to say hello during your stay. The enchanted garden kept all of our small children happy. The site gate is generally closed so there's no vehicles to worry about really, and the fencing allows the children to get close to the animals, but not too close.

The toilet and washing facilities are new, and regularly cleaned. Every pitch has running water, which is a massive bonus.

Very friendly staff. Basic amenities for staying in a farmers field. Big bag of firewood for £5. Security gate for getting onto the site. Small cocktail bar in a converted horse box if that’s your thing.

Queuing to wash up at the one sink with no hot water. Extra toilets and showers needed for busy times.

Friendly/welcoming staff
The accommodation (reindeer lodge) was fantastic
Clean facilities
Quiet setting

Nothing!

We had a brilliant time the family who run the place are so friendly and attentive. They offer amazing experiences that you would be hard pushed to find anywhere else. Its Christmas everyday with the Reindeers so close by.
The whole atmosphere is relaxed and the added addition that every pitch has its own firepit is awesome. We just sat back toasted giant marshmellows (purchased on site) and drank some wonderful cocktails (purchased from the horsebox tiki bar on site).
The children could run around and play safely and see the animals without fear of them getting out of the site as the gates are closed all the time. The enchanted garden is wonderful and even tho I have boys not girls they loved it.
We will definately be back as Im sure it can only get better as they have only be open for camping for 2 months.

Water could have been warmer at the washing up sink but this in no way effected our stay.

Fantastic campsite. Owners are really helpful. Lots of animals for kids to play with. Very clean
