Tree-sheltered pitch (added by manager 09 sep 2022)

Well-maintained campsite edging the Somerset Levels near Bridgwater
A 20-minute drive to Glastonbury Tor; half an hour to Burnham-on-Sea
Coffee and ice cream available on select afternoons during high season

With carefully maintained pitches set among flower beds and trees, Thornhills Farm’s camping area is based just outside the village of Othery on the edge of the Somerset Levels. Whether you’re overnighting on the way further down to the West Country or sticking around to explore locally, getting here is easy as the M5 is only 20 minutes’ drive away. Keen to get to know Somerset? You’re in the right place, as hereabouts you’re surrounded by the wetland Levels, plus the Mendip Hills and Quantock Hills Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Historic towns including Taunton and Glastonbury are within easy reach, as is coastal Burnham-on-Sea. Spotless facilities on this family-run holiday park – which spreads over two acres – include a modern shower block, a washing machine and tumble dryer to take care of your holiday clothes, and bottled gas (available for a small charge). And you’ll sleep soundly at night knowing that the electric gates at the entrance to the site are firmly closed for your security. On select Saturdays during the summer months, guests can get their hands on handmade Italian gelato and freshly-ground coffee. The site is also dog-friendly, and while there are limited walks from the farm, there are plenty within five minutes' drive. Just remember, the site is in the middle of Somerset, home to a large farming community. The site is next to a working farm, there may be farming noise.

From the manager: Hey Guys, Thanks for leaving a review, we really appreciate it 😊... just wanted to add, we really do make a point of saying on all advertising, while we love our furry friends and we are located in the stunning Somerset levels, we don't have any direct walks from the site. It is a 5 minute drive to the nearest walks 🚶‍♂️!! The farm, again, as per the information provided on the advert, is sometimes a little busy, even in the evenings. With the amount of rain we've had, the poor old farmers have to work whenever they can right now! So for anyone reading, please, if you are "sensitive" to the noise of a tractor, even sometimes in the evening, please maybe try another site. We try and be very open, communicative and clear, check us out on Google before coming, the views are stunning, the place is beautifully clean and tidy, and as mentioned above don't have walks from site, you'll have to drive just a bit! 😇 And, yes, please don't think you can walk down the A361, although worth saying, the the site is well back from the road, so not too noisy or in anyway unsafe on site 🙄 We do however have amazing ice cream 🍦 😋 So not all bad 🤣

Liked: Planned a weekend away in Somerset mainly to visit The Fleet Air Arm Museum. Booked Thornhills and were we pleased we did! What a wonderful find 😀 we had a good pitch close to super clean facilities - could not fault the site or the owner it was great. We had only booked for the one night but due to the floods we decided to stay another night and not to move on - very glad too.

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Wildlife lovers, start your exploration of Somerset at RSPB Greylake (five minutes’ drive), where you can (hopefully) catch sight of waders and raptors – of the latter, keep an eye out for endangered marsh harriers. Eastfield Nature Reserve (10 minutes) is a grassland reserve that comes alive with butterflies in summer, and the botanists among you can seek out rare orchids too. There’s plenty more for walkers to enjoy: discover the wetland meadows of the Somerset Levels (five minutes) for strolls through reed beds bordering the River Parrett – and then get a bird’s-eye view over the marshes with a hike up Glastonbury Tor (20 minutes), topped by the ruins of 14th-century St Michael’s Church. If you’re feeling the call of bracing sea air, turn north for a dip in the sea off the sandy beach at Burnham-on-Sea (half an hour) or take the kids rock pooling at Kilve Beach (45 minutes). Heading to the south coast, Lyme Regis (an hour) and Charmouth (55 minutes) are the number-one spots to root around on the beach for fossils.
