What customers say
A ripper quiet spot, mates! Lovely big, flat sites. Handy to the train and brewery. Facilities are basic but clean, with some recent upgrades. Great for a chill getaway with farm critters around. Just a heads-up, loos can get a bit busy in peak times.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Great little campsite tucked away near the West Somerset Railway, Taunton & Bridgewater so lots of places to go visit.
The site was an open field lined on 2 sides with woodland. Chickens & geese roam freely.
We went with electric hookup but you can go non electric hookup.
Basic toilets & showers, kept very clean & the showers had complimentary shower products. Recycling & general waste bins.
Karen was a great site owner. Very welcoming & knowledgeable on local history
We will go again. So peaceful & so tranquil
Disliked Not dislikes but more ideas about a few little kids park rides for younger children & maybe some fire pits for the evening

Unpowered grass caravan site
Liked Quiet site, yet easy to access and walking distance to pubs serving food. Friendly owners, mostly level site and the showers were decent, hot water and eco-friendly products provided. Toilets were pretty good too, considering they're not permanent structures and therefore not on mains drainage - plenty of them for the size of the site.
Great walks from the site too, straight into the Quantock Hills
