  • Small adults-only site on organic working farm on the Somerset Levels
  • A 10-minute drive from Glastonbury; 15 minutes from Wells
  • Gastro pub and tea rooms just over a mile away
Looking for a peaceful pitstop surrounded by green meadows with views towards the Mendip Hills and Glastonbury Tor? Just as the nearby Avalon Marshes nature reserves welcome resting birds, Garslade Farm is a friendly place to relax and take it easy for a bit. In the winter, these fields are home to an organic sheep business run by Mike and Bridget, whose family have looked after this land since 1830. When summer comes, the lambs make way for the caravan park and campsite – with hard tracks throughout to give the humans easy access. You could spend your whole break soaking up the serenity of these surroundings, but if you want to do a few days trips, a wander around the cathedral city of Wells would be a suitably civilised way to start. Take the short but strenuous hike up Glastonbury Tor to spot all the sights in this unique landscape, then gawp at Britain’s biggest gorge – and go below into the caverns – at Cheddar Gorge. Practicalities on site are covered with toilets, showers, washing up, recycling and wifi. Barbecues are allowed, but you might decide to let someone else do all the hard work at the award-winning gastro pub in Godney – just over a mile away – or the tea rooms at Double Gate Farm (you’ll need to book ahead before all the chips or scones get gobbled up). Whichever you pick, there should be a good night's sleep to follow, as there's an 11pm noise curfew on site.

Powered grass site

Liked: Lovley little site, quite, clean and if you into the 2nd area for pitches and back up agsinst the hedge you can see Glastonbury tour as you sit out side and wake up to it in the morning. Drinking water filling points, on the way in and in the pitch areas. The staff were really helpful with great local knowledge. Recycling bins, washing up areas, fridge freezer is shared but their if you need it. Showers and toilets are in an old barn, so don't expect to find them with out extra members in them, (I.e crane flush, and the odd spider) but they are more than adequate for the purpose. Loads of room per pitch and ehu points. If you are into walking the dog then just be aware it is a working farm so they need to be on lead at all tined when on site. Will go back again.

Disliked: Only one thing, was the showers aren't power showers.

I would strongly recommend this ideally located paradise.

Liked: Tranquil site with beautiful views. Working farms turned camp sites are always a welcoming addition to the experience. At one with nature which is what camping should be. Very friendly hosts made it an excellent stay.

Disliked: Not really much to dislike. Facilities were basic as expected, but adequate. You get what you pay for.

Liked: Peaceful site. View of Glastonbury Tor. Friendly welcome. Location ideal for Wells and Glastonbury.

Disliked: Toilets and Showers are basic, but functional. And it is an inexpensive site, so I accept the compromise.

Powered grass site

Liked: It’s a working farm and based on some previous reviews I only expected basic facilities. The shower and wash facilities are better than I expected. Maybe they’ve been improved. They were clean and tidy and there was always plenty of hot water. The pitch was level so no sliding down the tent. Staff were helpful and I would definitely go again if in the area. 5* rating based on a working farm.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

The Somerset Levels and Moors make up one of the largest lowland wetlands in Britain and a visit to the Avalon Marshes Centre and RSPB nature reserves will introduce you to their history and ecology. Time your visit right and you may witness the incredible starling murmurations. If you love shopping you really need to experience the unique mix of retailers in Glastonbury, a town long linked with the mythical and mystical. For a more mainstream selection try Clark’s Village factory shopping outlet. Meanwhile, Cheddar’s the place to shop for cheese (and cider). A classic seaside day out can be had at Weston-super-Mare – sandcastles, fish and chips, donkey rides on the beach, entertainments on the pier, it’s all here. Or if you’d like a different view of the coast, head to Brean Down, a 300ft-high headland that sticks out a mile and a half into the Bristol Channel with a ruined Napoleonic fort at the end.
