Our park plan. which tier’s your favourite?

  • Peaceful and scenic touring pitches on a friendly, family-run farm
  • Walks in the Blackdown Hills National Landscape 15 minutes' drive away
  • A 10-minute drive from the M5 and 40 minutes from the southwest coast
Seeking some simple Somerset serenity? Grab yourselves a pitch at Gamlins Farm Touring Park, which has a splendid 2.6 acres of peaceful countryside to its name. The touring pitches here are spacious and surrounded by lovely hill views, making it just the spot for a bit of quiet rural relaxation. It’s a family-run and family-friendly place where dogs are welcome too – both kids and dogs are likely to appreciate the chance to run about in the open air while the grownups put their feet up and soak up the views. All the essential facilities have been provided here, including a launderette, a chemical disposal point, toilets and showers. Guests are welcome to bring barbecues or light campfires; pick up supplies at the shops in nearby Wellington (10 minutes’ drive) or Taunton (20 minutes). Both towns are also good places to find places to eat out, and there are also several pubs to pick from in the local villages. As it’s only a 10-minute drive from the M5, Gamlins Farm makes a handy stopover point for those taking on a long motorway trip. It’s worth a trip in its own right too, though, for a few days chilling out in scenic surroundings with your family, your pals, your other half or just your good self. Locations on the southwest coast of England, including Exmouth and Sidmouth, are 40 to 45 minutes' drive away from the site.

Power optional concrete slab caravan site

Liked Everything about this site! Starting with the most friendlest of welcomes from Lisa and Woody... even our dog was made to feel welcomed.
We were allowed to choose our own pitch, all of which were clean and well maintained and evenly spaced.
The facilities for a small quiet site were impeccable. The toilets and showers were exceptionally clean.
The site is small, yet perfect for a quiet peaceful getaway.

Disliked Nothing!

From the manager: What an absolute joy to read your feedback - thank you! We're so happy the campsite offered just the sort of peace and charm you were looking for. It's feedback like this that reminds us why we love doing what we do. You're always welcome back any time. All the very best, Lisa & Woody

Angela D.

Power optional concrete slab caravan site

Liked On our way to Cornwall we needed to stop for the night so we took a chance on getting a pitch at Gamlins farm touring park so glad we did.
Upon arrival Lisa and Woody gave us the most warmest welcome. They advised us how to book and showed us around, even pointing out the best pitch for us.
The facilities were spotless even having a few essentials you may have forgotten.
Pitches were level gravel and spacious , wifi if needed and all having EHU.
We were treated to freshly laid eggs, one with a lucky double yolk.
After a very quiet nights sleep we were sad to have to move on so will be coming back for a longer stay next time.

Disliked Nothing to dislike everything was what we wanted and more.

From the manager: Thank you for your wonderful review, Angela - we're genuinely touched! We care deeply about creating a relaxing, friendly space, and it's lovely to hear that came across during your stay. Your kind words have made our day! Please do come back again soon. Lisa & Woody

Route directions

Using the postcode in a satnav sometimes takes you to Gamlins Farm Yard rather than the caravan park. If this happens, go past the farm yard and around the corner; you will see the caravan park on the right-hand side, roughly 300 metres further along.

Local attractions

The main focus at this site is usually relaxing in the lovely rural setting rather than packing days full of busy excursions. There are, however, plenty of options for low-key outings, including walks in the nearby Blackdown Hills National Landscape (15 minutes’ drive) or at the Bridwell Park estate (10 minutes), where you may well encounter deer in the grounds. For other outdoor activities nearby, train your aim at Abbey Burton Clay Shooting (15 minutes), play a round at Oake Manor Golf Club (20 minutes) or head to Somerset Adventures (20 minutes) for archery, climbing and watersports. For something a little bit different (but thoroughly rural), how about meeting some cute companions at Somerset Sheep Trekking or Stoke Wood Alpacas (both 25 minutes)? If you need indoor attractions for a damp day, both the Museum of Somerset and County Classics Motor Museum in Taunton (20 minutes) are worth visiting. There’s also an intriguing little museum/heritage centre at Upottery Airfield (25 minutes) for anyone with an interest in flying and/or the area’s role in World War II.
