  • Peaceful and scenic touring pitches on a friendly, family-run farm
  • Walks in the Blackdown Hills National Landscape 15 minutes' drive away
  • A 10-minute drive from the M5 and 40 minutes from the southwest coast
Seeking some simple Somerset serenity? Grab yourselves a pitch at Gamlins Farm Touring Park, which has a splendid 2.6 acres of peaceful countryside to its name. The touring pitches here are spacious and surrounded by lovely hill views, making it just the spot for a bit of quiet rural relaxation. It’s a family-run and family-friendly place where dogs are welcome too – both kids and dogs are likely to appreciate the chance to run about in the open air while the grownups put their feet up and soak up the views. All the essential facilities have been provided here, including a launderette, a chemical disposal point, toilets and showers. Guests are welcome to bring barbecues or light campfires; pick up supplies at the shops in nearby Wellington (10 minutes’ drive) or Taunton (20 minutes). Both towns are also good places to find places to eat out, and there are also several pubs to pick from in the local villages. As it’s only a 10-minute drive from the M5, Gamlins Farm makes a handy stopover point for those taking on a long motorway trip. It’s worth a trip in its own right too, though, for a few days chilling out in scenic surroundings with your family, your pals, your other half or just your good self. Locations on the southwest coast of England, including Exmouth and Sidmouth, are 40 to 45 minutes' drive away from the site.

What customers say

Newly renovated, small, quiet site. Hosts Lisa & Woody get rave reviews for being friendly & helpful. Spotless washrooms, lovely showers. Pitches are good-sized, level & clean. Great free WiFi. Some miss play areas, but most are eager to return!

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Immaculately clean wash block, friendly and helpful owners, secure site with locked gates and onsite 24 hour staff (always something that I prioritise when booking sites as I travel alone with my children), great views, reliable wifi and a site that will forever be known by my children as the one with the great hammocks!

Disliked Nothing that I disliked but pitch was rather small and bland…I presume over time hedges will be grown to add character and partitioning to the pitches. A small shop for essential provisions would be a nice addition.

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked The friendly welcome and tour of the facilities when we arrived.
Quiet campsite
Clean toilet block with helpful local information on the walls
Not too busy, never had to queue to use the toilets
Accepted 1 night stays, so perfect for a stop off on our way further south

Disliked Not really a dislike, but as we approached there was a sign for Gamlin Farm which didn't lead to the campsite, a sign directing to the Touring park at that point would have been really useful.

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked The hosts were extremely welcoming and made us feel right at home. The facilities were spotless and very well maintained. We really appreciated the thoughtful little touches that showed how much the hosts care about their guests. Having access to a washing machine was a bonus, and the site itself was lovely and peaceful. It’s also in a great location, close to things you might want to do or see. We will definitely be returning here – it was absolutely lovely.

Disliked The only downside for us was the extra charge for dogs. Normally this would put us off booking, as it feels unnecessary unless there are specific dog facilities like a wash station or dedicated dog field. That said, we are really glad we stayed as everything else was brilliant.

Stuart F.

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Booked as an overnight stop from the East Midlands en route to Cornwall
Very warm welcome from the Team.
Clean toilet/shower blocks.
Lovely location.
Nice, small site with flat hard standing pitches.
Free Wi-Fi was great.
Very limited for the kids but we knew this when we booked, so it wasn’t important, the kids made their own fun using the hammocks that were at the top of the site.

Liked Lovely site, surrounded by stunning countryside. Very clean, large pitch available for our very long motorhome, stable ground. Showers and toilets really lovely, all new and sparkling. We booked last minute and we were very warmly welcomed and introduced.

Local attractions

The main focus at this site is usually relaxing in the lovely rural setting rather than packing days full of busy excursions. There are, however, plenty of options for low-key outings, including walks in the nearby Blackdown Hills National Landscape (15 minutes’ drive) or at the Bridwell Park estate (10 minutes), where you may well encounter deer in the grounds. For other outdoor activities nearby, train your aim at Abbey Burton Clay Shooting (15 minutes), play a round at Oake Manor Golf Club (20 minutes) or head to Somerset Adventures (20 minutes) for archery, climbing and watersports. For something a little bit different (but thoroughly rural), how about meeting some cute companions at Somerset Sheep Trekking or Stoke Wood Alpacas (both 25 minutes)? If you need indoor attractions for a damp day, both the Museum of Somerset and County Classics Motor Museum in Taunton (20 minutes) are worth visiting. There’s also an intriguing little museum/heritage centre at Upottery Airfield (25 minutes) for anyone with an interest in flying and/or the area’s role in World War II.
