What customers say

Well-kept, clean site with stunning views & a friendly vibe, especially manager Stan. On-site bar a great social hub. Showers/toilets praised for cleanliness. Minor issues: ants in tent, dog noise, dated shower blocks. Peaceful & good value.

Debby L.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Our first time camping, and what a lovely site with amazing views. Stan very helpful on arrival and came round after an hour to check we were ok. Clean toilets and showers, on site bar amazing and food vans at weekend, pizza Friday and Greek Saturday 😀 There was an onsite fete, play your cards right and a bbq put on by the residents/permanent pitch holders which was brilliant. Everyone so friendly and helpful, we will definitely be back.

Disliked Nothing… if you’re looking for somewhere you can enjoy the peace, or you like meeting people and socialising this place has it all.

Liked Really quiet site in a lovely position with great views over the Somerset levels.
Langport is a lovely town with a supermarket about 1.5 miles away from the site.
Stan is very helpful and knowleagable.
Ladies showers were cold one morning but he sorted it immediately.
The showers, toilets etc were all extremely clean.

Disliked The (presumed drunk) bearded resident who spent Saturday night shouting for 'Alexa' in a very loud voice.
Fortunately he must have found her by 9-30pm as he then stopped and probably went to bed!

Jenny G.

Camping pod

Liked Beautiful view from the camping pod. The welcome was very friendly and helpful. The pods are great, comfy beds, storage, kettle, BBQ and outside chimnea. We were a group of 4 ladies on motorcycles and it was such a treat not to have to carry tents etc. we were made very welcome. Toilets and showers were always very clean with plenty of hot water. We loved the pizza van and bar on Friday night.

Disliked Absolutely nothing!!

HE S.

Powered grass site

Liked Welcoming owner. Clean loos & shower block with plenty of warm water. Fantastic view from the 'pub' over the levels. Large, flat pitch.

Disliked V quiet site, pub only open on the Sat night, not a 'disliked' but still worth folk being aware of. No view from the pitch itself, which lacked any tree/ planting 'privacy'. Would I recommend, it would depend on what someone was looking for.? Unlikely to return as not enough in the area itself to warrant.

Liked Just returned from 4 days at Bowdens crest caravan and camping park and just wanted to say thank you for a very relaxing time away. There is nothing to dislike, the facilities are kept clean, a bar available on site, the views are beautiful, the campsite is very peaceful and everyone on site is so friendly. Thank you very much for a wonderful few days.

Local attractions

The best of Somerset is close to hand from Bowdens Crest, such as witch hunting at Wookey Hole Caves, striding around the Quantock Hills, Blackdown Hills and the Somerset Levels, exploring the subterranean sights of Cheddar Caves, or, for the more modern, happily spending holiday money at Clarks Village in nearby Street. Glastonbury is about 12 miles away; these days it’s probably better known for its famous fest nearby, but a more peaceful time can be had around Glastonbury Abbey, which has stood on this site since the seventh century and which may – just possibly – be King Arthur’s Avalon where the mighty Excalibur was forged (Arthur and Queen Guinevere are purportedly buried here.) The ‘holy hill’ of Glastonbury Tor, home to Gwyn ap Nudd or the King of the Fairies, is another legendary local highlight to trek to: Somerset picnics taste super at the base of St Michael’s Tower, accompanied by tasty views of the Somerset Levels, Wiltshire, Dorset and over to Wales. Tiny Wells, about 20 miles away, is well worth a visit too: once there, see the show caves at the Wookey Hole Caves on the edge of the Mendip Hills. Another seven or so miles north-west and on the south side of the Mendips, spectacular Cheddar is worth at least a day to see the most of Cheddar Gorge and Cheddar Caves, where you can stick to sightseeing or be a bit more adventurous caving or rock climbing. Outdoor options in the area include hiring a bike and pedalling off from Langport Visitor Centre into the Somerset countryside, fishing on the River Parrett and around Bridgwater, Somerton and Taunton, or sea fishing for Dover sole and bass from the beach at Burnham-on-Sea.
