Welcome to station farm

  • Secluded site on a small welcoming Somerset working farm
  • In the Avalon Marshes nature reserves, five miles from Glastonbury
  • Riverside wildlife haven with firepit for each pitch
What a spot for wildlife lovers… Station Farm is a small family-run Somerset farm on the edge of Shapwick Heath Nature Reserve and situated between the Ham Wall and Westhay Moor Reserves (3,700 acres of reclaimed wetland collectively known as the Avalon Marshes). Bring your binoculars along for a stay here – you’re likely to spot all sorts of bird life (including cranes, egrets, birds of prey and kingfishers) around here, and there are several hides within a short walk for those who’d like to settle in for some serious spotting. If birdwatching’s not your thing, look out instead for otters, beavers and water voles or head out straight from the farm onto footpaths and bike routes across the reserves (including the Bittern Trail, which goes all the way to Glastonbury, five miles away). Just next to the farm is a river that’s fab for kayaking, paddleboarding, wild swims and fishing (permit required). Sticking to dry land, there’s plenty of space for kids to run about and greet the farm animals (ponies, sheep, pigs, donkeys and free-range poultry). Each pitch is provided with a barbecue/firepit (with logs and kindling available to buy) so you’ll also have space to keep warm once evening falls. This is an off-grid site so it’s a good idea to bring a torch along; toilets, showers, drinking water and a covered washing-up area are a short walk from each pitch. For safety, there’s no parking on pitches but wheelbarrows are provided to help haul kit. (Parents, do be aware that there’s easy access to lakes, ditches and the river so you’ll still need to keep an eye on the kids.)

What customers say

Station Farm: a top spot! Guests love the peaceful vibe, friendly hosts Karl & Bethan, and great, clean facilities. Plenty of space for kids, farm animals, fire pits & wheelbarrows. Toilets can get busy, but it's a minor point in a fab stay.

Middle Ground unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked I had a lovely stay at Station Farm. The owner was a lovely guy. The site was great and the facilities were brilliant. Nice showers and toilet area, lot’s of wildlife and friendly people around. It seemed a great place for children too. The location is great too, with a pub within walking distance, and an hour or two walk to Glastonbury Tor.

Middle Ground unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked A beautiful, well kept campsite and farm. Excellent facilities - clean and hot showers, communal area with activities, outdoor kitchen with fridge freezer. A number of additional thoughtful touches including fire pits for each pitch and wheelbarrows for transporting kit. A perfect place for young families, especially if there is interest in nature and animals.

The owners were both lovely. On site, as attentive as you’d need, happy to explain things and also answer questions about the farm/animals/plants.

Couldn’t rate this spot highly enough. Thanks for sharing your beautiful plot!

Liked Made to feel very welcome by Karl. Plenty of space and able to choose own pitch. Very good facilities. I was here for the birdwatching and the site is in the perfect position to explore Shapwick, Ham wall and Westhay reserves. The Avalon marshes centre is just across the road with a decent cafe. Loved hearing Bittern booming and cuckoos calling from my tent. Would recommend and will be back

Local attractions

If you need to get your bearings, a good place to start is at the Avalon Marshes Visitor Centre (five minutes’ walk) – there’s a café here too, so you can plan your walks over a cup of coffee. Beyond your immediate surroundings, there’s plenty more to see – perhaps beginning with an outing to Glastonbury (10 minutes’ drive/half an hour’s cycle) to stroll through the town and visit the abbey and the tor. Wells (20 minutes’ drive) is another urban centre that’s worth a wander, particularly if you stop in at Europe’s first Gothic-style cathedral. For outdoor days, go for a hike around Cheddar Gorge (20 minutes) or hit the beach in Burnham-on-Sea (20 minutes). The West Somerset Railway (45 minutes) is a good option if you fancy seeing some of the scenery at a leisurely pace. Other ways to fill your days? Well, maybe delving into the caves at Wookey Hole (20 minutes), visiting Europe’s largest naval aviation collection at Fleet Air Arm Museum (half an hour) or checking out the stately home and safari park at Longleat (50 minutes)…
