  • Peaceful camping field with year-round facilities
  • National Trust and English Heritage properties close by
  • Hike the 20 minutes up Ham Hill from the site
Check out this well-connected Somerset pub site… The Masons Arms is in the good-looking hamstone village of Odcombe near Yeovil, surrounded by topping walking trails – the 20-minute hike up Ham Hill is thoroughly recommended just to start strolls off. The Masons Arms is close to many Somerset attractions including National Trust and English Heritage properties, but is set peacefully well away from the main road. And as it's a pub site, dinner and drinks in the Arms each evening are also thoroughly recommended (the bar and restaurant are closed on Monday and reopen at 4pm on Tuesday) - no fights needed about who's going to drive home… Facilities at the Masons Arms include a modern unisex amenities block with two toilets, two showers, three sinks, a washing-up area, a hairdryer, an iron and an ironing board.

What customers say

This campsite, behind a friendly pub, offers peaceful pitches, clean facilities, and good food. Staff are welcoming and it's dog-friendly. Some find the unisex washrooms and motion-sensor lights a bit awkward. Bins can overflow and some facilities need a refresh. Great value for a quiet escape.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked * Lovely campsite and a great place to spend 3 days.
* We really enjoyed the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
* A great experience for me and my two sons, with plenty of time to enjoy the outdoors together.
* The campsite was well maintained and had a nice family-friendly feel.
* Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay and would happily come back.

Disliked * There were only a few minor things that could have been better.
* Some facilities could perhaps be improved or updated, like the light in the shower/toilet block going out

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Absolutely — here’s a smoother, more natural version that keeps the warm, genuine feel:
Camping Area Review


Lovely little camping area attached to the pub, and excellent value for money. The food and drinks in the pub were very reasonably priced, and the staff were lovely — welcoming, friendly and very approachable.
The toilet and shower facilities were clean and well maintained. It’s also very dog-friendly, which was a real bonus.

The location is peaceful and quiet, with only the occasional faint “baa” from the sheep to remind you you’re in the countryside! A lovely, relaxing place to stay — we’d happily come back.

Disliked The only slight downside was the push-button shower, which turns off after a few seconds, meaning you have to keep pressing it throughout your shower. That said, the water was lovely and warm, so it wasn’t a huge issue!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely site nice level pitches very friendly staff and beautiful pub.

Disliked Unfortunately the shower block lights go out after about a minute and the showers need the buttons holding in to work which my son found impossible. Such a shame when everything else was perfect.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Lovely friendly small site. Good for tents. Village Pub. Will return.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Friendly, small cosy site. Attached to a pub, which we were not disturbed by at all, but could have eaten and drunk at if the weather turned! I had questions beforehand which they answered really quickly.

Disliked Very distance church bells that my super hearing picked up on in the night. The toilet block motion sensor lights go out at inconvenient times. Slight slope

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked A lovely place to pitch up for a few nights. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a great atmosphere throughout our stay. The amenities are basic but clean, well maintained, and adequately stocked. We really enjoyed our time here and would happily return.

Disliked The only slight negative, although it’s not something the site can really control, is that the pitch is often used for overnight stop-offs. As a result, not everyone maintained the expected camping etiquette, and there was some noise late into the night. Otherwise, we had a lovely stay.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Proximity to pub with food, good level pitches and not crowded, clean toilet and shower facilities. Good location for exploring Somerset.

Disliked Nothing to dislike about this site - my only concern is that too many people find out about it!

Local attractions

Sunny days, rainy days and everything in between are all covered around The Masons Arms: check out the area's historic houses, its many walks, cider farms, museums… The pub is surrounded by walking country including many footpaths around the village and the walk to Ham Hill which can be reached with minimal road walking. Also within walking distance is the National Trust's Montacute House, an Elizabethan mansion surrounded by green gardens. Yeovil town centre is about 10 minutes' drive away and there are plenty of small Somerset villages to delve into too – most with yet more cosy Somerset pubs. Or motor around the local museums like the Fleet Air Arm and Haynes Motor Museum, both under 10 miles away. If you fancy a beach and heritage day out, the Jurassic Coast is within about 40 minutes' drive.
