  • A wild camping experience in the heart of a Somerset rewilding site
  • A tranquil and basic set up, surrounded by wildlife and glorious views
The Heal Somerset campsite is nestled in a field in the heart of our rewilding site, offering a wild camping experience surrounded by wildlife and glorious views. The campsite has a tranquil and basic set up with a mains water tap and a compost loo. It is a self-service campsite with no warden on site, providing a fully immersive nature experience.​ The pop up site is situated well away from any buildings, to give you an experience of being in the midst of nature. The site is in a very quiet rural area but we want to make visitors aware that there is a train line which runs along the valley, with trains passing through from time to time. We support train travel as a means of transport and the sound of the trains is brief, so we hope you embrace their passing by, as we do. Train lines are also great wildlife corridors! ​An area of the field has been mown for the camping and there are no numbered pitches - you will be able to choose where you want to pitch your tent. Once here, you will be able to walk along the mown paths to explore our wider rewilding site and see how the land is responding already. Although the site has only recently begun its recovery, we are seeing more and more wildlife every day so hopefully you will too! For the benefit of the wildlife here, dogs aren't allowed on site (unless they are assistance dogs), except on the two stretches of footpath which cross two areas. To preserve the feeling of a nature retreat, vehicles aren't allowed on site. The campsite is a 500m walk up a track from the parking area - although if you have heavy equipment you can drop this off by car before you park!
