  • Family-friendly site in a rural spot three miles from Frome
  • A 15-minute drive from Longleat House and Longleat Safari Park
  • Firepits and games room on site
Set on a Somerset break? It's a crafty move to grab a spot at The Den and Orchard, a family-friendly site on the edge of Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It just so happens that there are plenty of walks nearby, as well as other days out in the local area including fishing, mountain biking, visits to National Trust properties and the excellent Longleat Safari Park. Firepits are positioned on every pitch for a laidback evening of cooking and flame gazing. The appointed chef can acquire essentials at the supermarkets in Frome, three miles away. If you'd rather let someone else do the honours, it's possible to order local food delivery from your phone or take a short five-minute drive to local food outlets. Facilities on site include a washing-up area and a wooden toilet block with gents’ and ladies’ toilets and showers. A games room (with darts, table football and table tennis) is on hand too, for damp evenings and general entertainment. Being just under half a mile from an A road, you may hear some road noise at rush hour or if the wind is blowing in the site's direction. Just outside of Frome, it's a bit noisier here than at a fully rural site, but it's very handy for getting around and also for ordering from takeaways in Frome or quickly picking up supplies in town.

What customers say

This well-kept, clean, secure campsite is praised for its peaceful vibe and great facilities, like hot showers and a games room. Pitches have picnic tables and water hook-ups. A great base for exploring local spots. Some road noise and tight pitches at peak times. Manager is committed to improving guest experience.

Power optional grass and gravel RV campsite

Liked Good communication pre-arrival with easy access to site. Well maintained pitches with EHU and access to water. Facilities very clean with complimentary cleaning products. Location was perfect for access to Frome for Cheese and Grain music venue (£13 taxi ride from campsite to town centre)

Disliked No warm water in one shower block which was a result of gas bottle running out. Nobodies fault, down to timing, but not a cold shower fan.

Power optional grass and gravel RV campsite

Liked The pitches were beautiful lots of bird life around and the play area and the games room were great for my 7 year old son.

The facilities were clean and so so warm, the shower in the womens had good water pressure.

There is lots in the local area there is a sainsburys, the range, Greg's, KFC and McDonald's less than 5 minutes away.

Disliked I did find the site quite noisy there is a lot of noise that comes from the A road very close by. It does die down after 'rush hours' and Saturday morning was also quiet.

Power optional grass and gravel RV campsite

Liked The Campsite location felt like a hidden gem—peaceful and tucked away, yet conveniently close to a local town with all the amenities. It’s also just a short drive to Longleat Safari.

Each pitch was beautifully presented, had its own grassy area complete with a picnic bench.

The site also features a games rooms.

Overall, the facilities were exceptionally clean and very well maintained.

Alison A. 1 review

Power optional grass and gravel RV campsite

Liked Location - easy to find,good to visit Bath and Frome but no easy public transport available (40 min walk to Sainsburys nearest stop)
Great pub ( Masons Arms) within walking distance.

Disliked Pitch too small-had marked van size but pitch allocated was too small.
On arrival pitch allocated was too short for our 6.36m van.It was barely long enough for our friends in their 5.5m van.Fortunately there were 2 larger spaces on the other side of the site that were large enough.
Very narrow to drive/reverse onto pitch-tried v hard not to drive across grass but narrow & had to drive onto an occupied pitch to make the manouevre.
No one on site to speak to.
Toilet door Top block was not opening on several 'visits'.
Heater in family bathroom ( far left) not working despite numbers clicking over it did not come on.
Hot water not working in top block Easter Monday.
Generally shower/toilet provision seemed inadequate relative to number of pitches & visitors.
Club Room not open Easter.
£6 daily on top of booking fee is excessive for EHU.

Local attractions

Work up an appetite for the next meal tackling the mountain bike trails at Windhill Bike Park or seeking out one of the circular walking trails in the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; both are about 10 minutes away by car. If you’d like your walks to take in pretty gardens and historic buildings, head to Nunney Castle (five minutes’ drive), The Walled Garden at Mells (10 minutes) or Stourhead National Trust property (15 minutes). Bath’s half an hour away for urban strolls with a Roman tinge, and fishing is 15 minutes away at Shearwater Lake for those who need a bit of a rest. You’ll easily fill a day over at Longleat (15 minutes away), driving the safari trails, visiting all the different animal areas, touring the house and pottering through the pleasure gardens. The famed caves and kid-friendly attractions at Wookey Hole are about half an hour away.
