  • 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 stunning, tidy site among trees with a stream. Spacious pitches offer sun/shade. Facilities are new & spotless. Great for kids with a climbing frame & paddling stream. Easy self-check-in. Friendly owners. Minor issues: pitch allocation, peak toilet queues, parking, some noise.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Quiet after 22h00
Managed to book late
Price not too steep

Disliked No vehicles allowed next to pitch and no reception area
Lots of smoke from other camper campfires/barbecues etc

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re so pleased you found the site quiet after 10pm and that booking was nice and straightforward.

We understand the car-free field and the lack of a reception area can feel a little different. We’ve designed the site this way to keep the camping field safe, peaceful, and more in touch with nature. Instead of a reception, we’re always just a phone call away if you need anything at all during your stay.

We also appreciate your comments about campfire smoke – it’s a popular part of the camping experience for many guests, but we’ll keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t spoil anyone’s visit.

Thank you again for your feedback, and we’d love to welcome you back in the future.

We will be returning.

Georgia B.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Communal fridges, extension lead, mixed sex toilet and shower room, separate men’s and females toilets, showers and sink facilities. Nice stream, provides endless entertainment for kids. Saw lots of children playing nicely and had a wooden swing set. Firepits but bring your own wood as expensive to buy on site. Pitch up anywhere. Spacious campsite with one shaded corner, rest of space mostly full sunshine.

Disliked Slightly busier on Saturday but was a bank holiday. Staff shortage so toilets not replenished with rolls and soap but the man was very helpful bringing us wood whilst also working at the clubhouse down the road.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your detailed feedback – we’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the facilities, the stream, and the family-friendly atmosphere on site. It’s always lovely to see the kids making the most of the space and the swing set, and we’re glad you found the site spacious and welcoming.

Over the bank holiday the toilet supplies were replenished but ran out much quicker than usual due to the site being so busy. We’re glad our onsite manager was able to help – we always respond quickly to any problems, even if we are short on staff. Thank you as well for your kind words, we’ll be sure to pass them on.

Bank holidays are always our busiest time, so we really appreciate your understanding. We’d love to welcome you back another time 😌

It's a lovely site, excellent for families with small children.

Anna h.

Power optional concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Being surround by beautiful trees was fantastic. Close to the shower/amenity block was very convenient

Disliked Allowing the fire pits made for a very uncomfortable stay, the smell was overwhelming and totally unnecessary on an already warm evening.
Due to location the road noise can be loud

Recommend to friends Visit again

Loved our stay and the site , would recommend and use again

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Quiet site with good facilities, and great for stargazing.

In a great location, close to Longleat with Frome and Warminster both easily accessible to get any essentials that may be needed during the stay (Frome has at least 2 supermarkets and a retail park with other shops such as The Range, Warminster has at least one supermarket and a lovely garden shop which sells firewood).

The climbing frame was very much enjoyed by my daughter, as was the stream (she decided to sit in it on the first evening, getting herself soaked 🤣). The gate to enter the site was different but made it very private, the camping field being car free was great.

The quiet times were followed so it was nice not being woken at first light by someone outside excited and wanting to play, and getting the kids settled was fairly easy too 🥰.

Disliked Never saw the site owners, if I did they never introduced themselves to me. Although we had our own trolley to transport stuff, some of the carts provided by the site have seen better days, practically fell apart when we did use them.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review – we’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay, and that your daughter made the most of the climbing frame and even braved a splash in the stream! 🥰 We’re really pleased you appreciated the peace and quiet, as well as the car-free field, which helps keep the site safe and relaxing for families.

We’re sorry we missed the chance to introduce ourselves during your stay – we do try to give guests space to unwind, but we’re always just a phone call away if you need us, and we always respond quickly to any problems. With the carts, most are in good condition but there is one that’s a little more worn – we’ll make sure that one is sorted. We’re glad you came prepared with your own trolley too.

We’d love to welcome you back again soon!

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.
