  • Rural Somerset site crossed by a stream a five-minute drive from Frome
  • Longleat 10 minutes’ drive; Wookey Hole Caves 35 minutes
  • Play area with miniature adventure course; dog-friendly walks nearby
A gorgeously rural corner of Somerset is the setting for Seven Acres Camping Site, which stretches over (you guessed it…) seven acres on the edge of the Longleat Estate, a five-minute drive from the town of Frome. A stream runs through the site, which is just off the B3092; this makes it easy to access, but it also means you may hear some traffic noise. A railway line runs parallel to the road, too… but you might find that the jolly whistling of a passing train rather adds to the romance of camping. It’s all about perspective, isn’t it? Regardless, forget the possible noises and accentuate the positive, starting with oodles of space and a play area with play equipment and a miniature adventure course where the kids can climb, slide and swing to their hearts’ content (while you keep an eye on proceedings from the nearby shaded bench). There are no cars permitted in the camping field, keeping the atmosphere peaceful; after you park up, you'll need to unload and walk to your pitch. This is a self-check-in site, so settle in at your own pace. While you may not see them, the team is on-site daily to make sure everything is running smoothly. Your canine companion is not left behind either, with plenty of dog-friendly walks in the surrounding area. Have a go at the circular Mells Walk (10 minutes’ drive), following the course of the Mells River; or head to Clanger Wood (20 minutes’ drive), known for its bluebell meadows and colourful butterflies. Cranborne Chase National Landscape (35 minutes) has trails leading through its distinctive landscape of chalk river valleys and escarpments; this area is also an International Dark Skies Reserve, so be sure you have all you need to stay until after sundown for some spectacular stargazing.

What customers say

A gorgeous, tidy site nestled among old trees with a charming stream. Pitches mostly roomy, with sun/shade. Facilities new & spotless. Great for kids, with paddling in the stream. Easy check-in. Owners praised for friendliness. Some pitch/parking issues noted, plus a bit of noise.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Space , quiet location , traffic noise minimal . Pretty stream and plenty of space to sit out without feeling to close to others . Sunny spot even later in evening in my space .

Disliked Shower facility needs better changing arrangements only one shower with private lockable door , others accessed from toilets straight into shower . The private shower had a curtain which meant the floor was wet and quite slippery

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Such a beautiful campsite, very clean and tidy. Easy to check in with the gate code and your pitch number emailed to you before hand. We did have an issue with someone setting up camp on our designated pitch but the owner sorted things out quickly.

Disliked A little busy for our liking but that’s our preference, No fault of the owner or campsite.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Clean and tidy site

Disliked Most of the showers had only glass doors so no privacy. No proper check in and no owners seemed to be very present so not clear how to get help if needed. Dogs are allowed on site but must be kept on leads, this isn’t the case there was a dog running around most of the time, around peoples pitches and no one to keep an eye on things. Pitches weren’t level and most of them it would be a struggle to erect and awning or tent on them. Road and train track quite loud.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked General setting was lovely, with lots of space between pitches etc. liked that we could have a campfire too. WC and shower Facilities were minimal but the chap who came to clean them left them spotless. Check in was simple and we could come and go as we pleased with the security of a secure gate access.

Local attractions

Budding zoologists might enjoy a day at Longleat (10 minutes’ drive), where you can drive through vast enclosures housing big cats, wolves and rhinos; get hopelessly lost in Britain’s largest hedge maze; and take a tour of the 16th-century stately home, with its splendid artworks and tapestries. Wookey Hole Caves (35 minutes), on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills National Landscape, features a subterranean network of limestone caverns and passages with evocative names like Witch’s Kitchen. After having a go at the caving experience, check out the lifesize creatures at Dinosaur Valley or unwind on the miniature golf course. Treat yourself to a visit to Bath (35 minutes). The Roman bath complex in the centre of town includes a sacred spring and a museum displaying ancient artefacts. Follow that with afternoon tea at the Regency Tea Room at the Jane Austen Centre, where you can pretend to be Emma or Mr Darcy.
