Fully enclosed EHU pitch with water and sink

Flat and grassy five-acre site on the edge of the Somerset Levels
A 15-minute drive from Taunton; Barrington Court 20 minutes
Dog-friendly site with easy access from the A378

As you'd expect from a site with such a name, there's a whole lot of space in which to relax and explore at 5 Acres, a large grassy site on the edge of the Somerset Levels. Kids and dogs are both welcome on site here, and there's plenty of scope for them to run about and play games safely away from barbecues and campfires (which are also permitted to keep you warm and fed in the evenings). Facilities on site include firepits, a toilet and shower block and outdoor sinks with mains water. The surrounding Somerset Levels aren’t just out in the sticks – they also produce them. Willow cane has been cultivated the traditional way in this part of the county for hundreds of years and can be seen growing within a mile of 5 Acres. the Levels are also a wildlife haven, making them an all-round top choice for country walks along the many trails nearby. If wild swimming is something you're always keen to do, good news on that front too. 5 Acres is just a 10-minute drive away from the river in Langport, which is popular for both wild swimming and kayaking. And while this may be a rural retreat, it's also one that's easy to get to as it's just off the A378 (no winding country lanes to negotiate for this one…). Taunton town centre, with its wide range of shops and supermarkets, is a 15-minute drive away. The closest pub and coffee shop are five minutes away by road.

What customers say

This quiet site has large, flat spots with fire pits & unique dishwashing stations. Clean, quirky washrooms (horsebox conversions!). Enclosed spots are great for dogs. A few mentioned hot water or road noise issues, and spotty cell service. Owners are super friendly and helpful.

Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews. Last updated 2026-10-06

The hut and shelter, have beautiful solar lights that really make the pitch glow at night.

You across the campsite field which was lovely as the grass is in the middle were allowed to grow

Teddy, the border terrier enjoying the view from the side door of the camper

What a better view to wake up to in the morning hearing silence apart from birds

Powered grass tent or RV campsite (premium, Private restroom amenities)

Liked We liked everything, made camping so much more enjoyable. The private premium bathroom and kitchen was amazing, with Flushing Loo.
The kitchen area was super had everything that you could possibly need.
Lots of space to store belongings and an additional space to dress after showering was a bonus.

The enclosed pitch itself was massive, with lovely positioned trees for additional shade and privacy, very well thought out.

The hosts were very welcoming and friendly.

Good location, with easy access to local amenities, 40mins to Lyme Regis which was beautiful.

Disliked Not staying longer!

Liked The site is very quiet. Not too far from local supermarkets, shops and local town.

Disliked Toilet block could have done with being cleaned more regularly. Often points in the weekend where there were no toilet rolls in any of the 3 toilets.

Local attractions

First time in the West Country? Get your bearings at the Museum of Somerset (15 minutes' drive), a family-friendly local history exhibit housed in the grand surrounds of Taunton Castle. Other history-infused haunts, like National Trust-managed Barrington Court (20 minutes) and Coleridge's Cottage (40 minutes), are also pretty sure to help you get a feel for the place. Already a maven in all things southwestern? Skip the history lesson and get straight out for rambles in the Quantock Hills (20 minutes). The coast is also within range, whether you opt to head north to the Bristol Channel for swims at Kilve beach (40 minutes) or a trip to Watchet arcade (40 minutes) or south to Lyme Regis (45 minutes) on Dorset's Jurassic Coast. If you're looking to branch out from your common and garden holiday attractions, take a closer look at the traditional willow products on display at Coates English Willow Visitor Centre (10 minutes). More local produce can be inspected (and tasted) at promisingly named Sheppy's House of Cider (15 minutes), a well-established Somerset firm where you can analyse dry, medium and sweet varieties.
