  • Marked-out pitches or pick your own: site bordered by the River Axe
  • Wookey Hole 2.5 miles; Wells 3.5 miles
  • Farm animals, rope swings and on-site farm shop; pub/café half a mile
What a bewitching place. And most especially for kids: Wookey Farm, a couple of miles from the famed Wookey Hole Caves (and their famed witch), is a tiptop option for small sorts and their owners, with loads of space to run around and a menagerie of animals to coo over. Older offspring will be sizzling with excitement on hearing that they can stoke flames and get social at the communal campfire area, while bigger folk will probably be content to bring along a firepit and laze idly on the family pitch, taking in the views of the Mendip Hills and towards Hembury and Yarley hills… Off site, it's three and a half miles from the farm to cutely compact Wells, six miles to Glastonbury, and a drive of 45 minutes to the coast at Weston-super-Mare. The site is on a small, family-run goat farm where guests are most welcome to meet the menagerie (sheep, pigs, hens and a donkey live here too) and find out all about running a farm. All pitches are in a level two-and-a-half-acre space with marked pitches or in an overflow meadow bordered by the River Axe: you can opt to be as mixed in or as far away as you like. Splashing, paddling and critter spotting can all be had in the river, as can back and forthing merrily on the rope tyre swing over the water (more swings are around the site if this seems slightly too hair-raising). Wookey Farm is an eco-friendly site, with emphasis on keeping things as natural as possible. Facilities are basic but well kept: four compost toilets and washbasins, cleaned twice a day; a washing-up area with water tap alongside; and plenty of facilities for sorting your rubbish (recycling and food waste contributions are keenly welcomed). For those barbecue supplies, the farm is just down the lane from Wookey village's café, shop and three pubs. There's also an on-site farm shop selling the farm's own goat's cheese, goat's milk and meat, along with alcohol, snacks and gifts.

What customers say

A lovely, quiet farm site. Spacious, level pitches with hedges for privacy. Friendly staff, great farm shop & animal encounters (pigs, donkeys, goats!). Families loved the river & swings. Showers scarce & compost toilets tricky, but most would return!

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Low-key, sensible guidance to pitch. No unnecessary check-in. Space at each pitch with small wild hedges. Pic-Nic bench. Recycling bins at each pitch. Respectful other campers and children (also dogs!). Quiet except for early morning birdsong including collared doves. Low key eco toilet ( not to everyone’s liking.
Walking distance to Wells. Short drive to bird reserves at Somerset levels and Glastonbury Tor.
Selective farm shop - goat and cider orientated. Friendly and nice staff.

Disliked Whilst smelly toilets and no hot water for dishwashing and no showers or washing cubicles could upset some fastidious campers, it suited my wilder choice of camping.

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked We stayed in the meadow . Super easy to arrive and find out where you are as there's a black board up with directions and your name . Lots of space and really clean . Toilets were clean and the hot water was a nice bonus . We bought a bbq meat pack which was quality and good value for money. Lovely to see the animals.

Local attractions

The farm is within easy reach of many top spots as well as Wookey Hole Caves, Glastonbury, Wells and Weston-super-Mare: spectacular Cheddar Gorge is 20 minutes' drive away, Longleat and Bath within 50, and Bristol just under an hour. Quieter times await around the region's walks, such as along the 30 miles of the West Mendip Way running from Wells via Wookey to the sea at Uphill, or the Strawberry Line (also 30 miles), a traffic-free route across Somerset from Shepton Mallet to Clevedon. Closer to home, amble along the River Axe flowing through the farm. Till ringers and fashion fans should take their wallets to Clarks Village, 20 minutes away, for outlet shopping and the Shoe Museum.
