  • Simple Somerset farm pitches in a handy spot close to the A38
  • Cheddar Gorge and Burnham-on-Sea beach 10 minutes’ drive
  • Riverside location in Lower Weare; village pub a minute’s walk away
Seeking a slice of Somerset serenity – but without the need to negotiate lots of little winding roads? Somewhere that you can soak up the rural views but also find plenty of attractions and activities nearby? Peak View Gardens is just the place. This chilled-out site on the banks of the River Axe in Lower Weare is just off the A38 for easy journeys in and out. The village location means you’re a mere minute’s walk from the local pub, a family-friendly place with a skittle alley, home-cooked food and plenty of local beers and ciders to sample. If you’d rather cook your own dinner, that’s fine too – just bring along a barbecue and pick up supplies from the butcher or supermarket in Cheddar (10 minutes’ drive). Cheddar is, of course, also the place to pick up some cheese for your picnic lunch – and home to top attraction Cheddar Gorge (10 minutes). Other ways to fill your days around here might include hitting the beach at Burnham-on-Sea (10 minutes), heading underground at Wookey Hole (25 minutes) or exploring the pretty streets in the tiny city of Wells (half an hour). Since the site is on the edge of the Mendip Hills National Landscape, there’s also the option of getting out for a scenic walk – with the closest route being the one up Crook’s Peak, right next to the site. This is a peaceful and simple site with hot running water, and guests have access to a shower and portable toilets.

What customers say

This wee, tidy campsite gets props for clean loos and showers. Owners are ace and the alpacas are a hoot. Great base for Somerset. Some found facilities basic and a bit noisy, but they're sorting it. A chill, family spot.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Friendly, great value little campsite.

Check-in was straightforward, with instructions including pitch number texted the night before. You can drive up to your pitch to unload but not park next to it... the car park is directly next to the site though, you'll never be more than 2 mins walk from your pitch.

Facilities are "back to basics" in style, but the showers are hot & the toilets flush so this is by no means wild camping. They were also cleaned twice a day during our stay and well maintained. We never had to queue/wait to use the facilities so the number available was appropriate for the size of the site.

Perfect size campsite for kids, with plenty of space to play without straying too far out of sight. The alpacas in the field adjoining was a treat for kids and grownups alike!

The BP garage 5 mins walk away has a well stocked local shop for provisions + some basic camping supplies. The Lamb pub a few mins walk away also does proper pub grub at good prices (with huge portions!) if you want a night off cooking/washing up.

Site is well positioned for local attractions (we visited Avalon Marshes + RSPB reserve which was a 30 min drive away). There's also a public footpath through fields next to the campsite if you fancy getting out and about without driving anywhere.

Gavin P. 3 reviews

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Travelled as a family of one adult and 2 children. We were happy with the site for our style of camping as we head out early and return late so primarily use it as a base to sleep/shower.

The location of the site among some of Somerset's best spots, plus a text the night before to advise of location and pitch number helped that self-serve approach.

Small site with around 15 pitches on a level field and shielded by hedges. Facilities include parking, bins and 3x toilet/showers which were clean as well as an outdoor sink/tap. Can walk into local village. Alpacas located in the adjoining field, which the kids loved, and a couple of picnic benches available for use.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for highlighting that you enjoyed our clean, quiet campsite and meeting the alpacas!

We're sorry to hear that our facilities didn't quite meet your expectations. Peak View Gardens is a simple, back-to-basics campsite, and we aim to be as transparent as possible by including photos of our facilities and describing them clearly on our Pitchup listing before guests book.

Whilst our facilities are intentionally basic, we pride ourselves on keeping them clean, well maintained and exactly as advertised. We appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoyed your stay overall.

Local attractions

Hilly treks in the area around Cheddar Gorge and Caves (10 minutes’ drive) are rewarded with spectacular views of the Mendip Hills. If you’d rather head underground, you can take a tour of Gough’s Cave, with a subterranean river and awesome rock formations. It’s also possible to have a go at rock climbing and adventure caving. Into wildlife? There is no shortage of local places where you can admire beasties of all species and sizes – from Animal Farm Adventure Park, home to sheep, donkeys, wallabies and meerkats; to Puxton Park wildlife park, with farm animals, more meerkats and a monkey house, plus a high ropes course. Both are 20 minutes’ drive away. Wells (half an hour) is England’s smallest city, with an ornate Gothic cathedral known for a clock topped by mechanical jousting knights circling every 15 minutes, plus the medieval Chained Library. Events at the moated Bishop’s Palace & Gardens nearby range from garden walks to wellbeing sessions.
