  • Off-grid Somerset farm campsite with spectacular Bristol Channel views
  • A 10-minute drive to Cheddar Gorge; 25 minutes to Weston-super-Mare
  • Grass pitches with basic facilities; five minutes’ walk to the pub
A working Somerset farm. Bristol Channel views. Back-to-basics family camping. Sounds like what you’re looking for? Here at Swallow Barn Farm, there's also a traditional country pub (with plenty of outdoor seating for balmy days) a mere five minutes’ stroll away. Grass pitches here are spacious, on sloping land and have spectacular views over Somerset countryside to the sea. Basic facilities include a single portable toilet; there is no electricity, however, so remember the torches for late-night wanderings around the site. Barbecues are allowed by the pitches, and you can pick up bits and pieces from the local essentials shop (10 minutes’ walk). A more extensively stocked store and garage is five minutes’ drive away. The site is 10 minutes’ walk from Rowberrow Forest and 15 minutes’ drive from the Mendip Hills National Landscape for hikes and cycle rides. You are welcome to bring your dogs to join in all the walkies fun, but please keep them under control when on site as there is livestock in adjacent fields.

What customers say

Peaceful, back-to-basics site with great views & spacious pitches. Basic facilities (portaloos, sink) suit some. Short walk to pub, ideal for walks. Field can be sloping/wet, but owner helps. Excellent value & tranquil.

Unpowered grass and earth tent or motorhome site (sloping, maximum 6 metres)

Liked This was a perfect stop off for us heading down to Devon. It was basic but had everything we needed for an overnight trip - toilets, drinking water, and bins for both recycling & landfill waste. The site was quiet and peaceful with gorgeous views across the countryside and across to Wales on the other side.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review, so pleased you had a nice stay here.

Lovely views, pub in walking distance.

Unpowered grass and earth tent or motorhome site (sloping, maximum 6 metres)

Liked Lovely views, spacious pitches you can choose yourself. Waking up to the horses in the next field. Nice pub literally down the road serving good food.

Disliked Site was quiet but there is the distant sound of the motorway, if that bothers you.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review, we really appreciate it. Glad you managed to try out the local pub.

Local attractions

Spectacular landscapes are everywhere in this corner of Somerset, and you can admire the Mendip Hills National Landscape (15 minutes’ drive) on foot or by bike. Try the Blackdown Hills National Landscape (50 minutes) for hikes to the Norman-era Castle Neroche and nearby Iron Age remains (55 minutes), or go hiking, climbing and caving in dramatic Cheddar Gorge (10 minutes). For more subterranean explorations, take the kids on tours of the caverns at Wookey Hole Caves (25 minutes); once back above ground, follow the animatronic dinosaur trail. Need to keep everyone busy? Get out on the dry ski slope at Mendip Activity Centre (five minutes), or join in bouts of archery and games of frisbee golf – if you fancy a round of the real thing, head to the 18-hole course 15 minutes’ drive away. If the weather’s good, you might consider piling everyone in the car and heading to the popular beach at Weston-super-Mare (25 minutes) for a dip in the Bristol Channel, or Uphill Sands (half an hour) for kitesurfing and sand yachting. The family-friendly beach at Burnham-on-Sea (25 minutes) is the spot for building sandcastles and paddling in shallow waves.
