Our pitch for bank holiday weekend
The farm house
A lovely sunny day

  • Pitch where you like at a back to basics farm site near Wells
  • Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge within a 10-minute drive
  • Pub two minutes' walk away; water supply and toilets on site
Let your troubles ebb away at Ebborways Farm near Wells, in the scenic heart of Somerset. Perfect for those in pursuit of an authentic camping experience, simplicity is the key here: it’s just you, a field – and a campfire if you like – in sumptuous, serene surroundings. Facilities are limited to a water supply and composting loos, and you can pitch wherever you like, alone or in groups. However, you’re not too far from a bit of civilisation: it’s a short walk to a handful of pubs – including a couple that do top-notch food – and a farm shop, in the local village of Priddy (and pretty it is, too). Fire packs (matches, firelighters, kindling and logs), as well as nets of logs, are available to buy on arrival. Please note that phone signal is very limited here, so you may wish to use the internet for research before you arrive.

What customers say

A friendly, spacious site with big fields. Comfy composting loos. Great value, peaceful, with lovely nature and a pub nearby. Some noted noise, uneven ground, and no showers, but expected for a basic site.

Unpowered grass and earth site

Liked Lovely friendly owner who welcomed us with a smile and a chat. Composting toilets were kept clean and well stocked. The area was lovely and peaceful with a pub in the village a 5 min walk away. Drinking water tap on site.

Disliked No washing up area or showers but we expected this so wasn’t a problem.

Unpowered grass and earth site

Liked A favourite site of mine. Pitch where you like and firepits allowed and are dotted around the field. Logs available to buy. Loads of open space.
Compost loos have always been clean.
Nice pub a short walk away.

Disliked Not really dislikes, but be aware:
Internet and mobile signal hit and miss so check before choosing a pitch. Also no showers so pack the wep wipes!

Unpowered grass and earth site

Liked This campsite is not luxurious in anyway BUT it’s extremely laid & it’s not run with millions of rules. Which we love.
They charge per person, so you’re not limited within a small pitch.
The fields are huge, and you pitch where you like, so there’s a ton of space between other campers.
We went on a super hot bank holiday weekend, and it still wasn’t crowded.
So many campsites are soo strict & have so many rules to follow- which I’m sure suit some campers- but this campsite is so chilled. They don’t even have a check out time!!
The kids were able to run around the fields and play games. One of our dogs can be quite hard work in busy settings; but he was sooo chilled the whole time as it was spacious.
We will certainly be back when we’re back in Somerset!

Disliked The only thing that was not a highlight, was the sawdust toilets. But then it does suit the rustic vibes of the campsite.

Not the camp's fault but not the quiet escape I look for.

Local attractions

Given the proximity of Bath and Wells, there’s an obvious temptation to regale your companions with choice one-liners from Blackadder; but pause for breath and you’ll discover that both have more celebrated charms than the baby-eating bishop. Bath probably needs less of an introduction: think Roman baths, Georgian grandeur, Jane Austen, rugby and culture aplenty; while Wells, which holds the accolade of England’s smallest city, is a medieval gem with a thirteenth-century cathedral, a moated bishop’s palace, and a lively twice-weekly market. Also highly recommended is a trip to the spectacular Cheddar Gorge, which offers something for all ages: fabulous views; brilliant caving and rock climbing; walks up Jacob’s Ladder; open-top bus tours; a clutch of family attractions; eerie stalactite caverns; and, of course, more cheese than you can shake a stick at. Keen walkers will be delighted by the proximity of the Mendips (Ebborways Farm is close to the West Mendip Way, which runs to the Ebbor Gorge nature reserve); or, for those who prefer life on four wheels, there are loads of fascinating places an easy drive away: atmospheric Glastonbury, the colossal caves and family attractions at Wookey Hole, the vibrant maritime city of Bristol, the fantastic safari and adventure park at Longleat, and the sandy beaches of Weston-super-Mare. Finally, should you feel the need to splash a bit of cash, there are more than 90 outlet shops at the Clarks Village centre, in the nearby village of Street.
