  • Back to basics pop-up site on a working sheep farm
  • A five-minute drive from the Quantock Hills; surrounded by trails
  • Pub 10 minutes’ walk away; barbecues and firepits welcome on site
This gorgeous meadow with views of the Quantock Hills and Charlinch village has been much-loved by generations of grazing sheep. For over a hundred years, the meadow has been farmed by the family for the sheep’s home or used to make hay. Now, it has a new lease of life as Charlynch Meadow Camping, a pop-up off-grid site… This place should very quickly get the stamp of approval from budding and keen hikers, as it is just one and a half miles from the edge of the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There’s fab access to footpaths through the countryside (so, pack your jam sandwiches and whatnot, and get walking pronto…). The family will be pleased to point you in the right direction, whether ambitious routes are in order, or the local pubs are your target rather than a pre-packed picnic assortment. The nearest pub is in Four Forks village, 10 minutes’ walk away. If you’re after local produce for your sandwich fillings or barbecues and firepits (which are permitted on site), there’s a farm shop 35 minutes’ walk away. For getting further afield in Somerset, Junction 23 and Junction 24 on the M5 are just 20 minutes’ drive away. Of course, the Somerset coast might be one of the first spots you call upon… the seaside towns of Minehead and Weston-super-Mare are 45 minutes’ drive away and Burnham on Sea is half an hour’s drive away. Rockpooling and foraging for fossils can provide hours of entertainment on Kilve Beach, 25 minutes’ drive away, too.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The site is basic - as advertised - but met our needs perfectly. It's flat, well-kept and easy striking distance of the Quantocks (we spent a couple of days biking, cycling from it as a base). There is a pub 11 minutes cycle / 2 minutes drive to the East for decent food and drink.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Lovely quiet location. We stayed midweek and were the only van in the field.

Seeing the sheep in the field in front of us.

Spotless portaloo! The facilities are basic but very clean and you don't need to share with loads of other people.

Great communication from owners and they came to chat before we left.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Lovely and peaceful, we were the only ones there for most of the time. Friendly and helpful farming family. Our ideal type or site. Has a portaloo and a tap which may need running through to get cold water in hot weather but thats not an issue.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The views are beautiful, and the campsite is very spacious, so you really get a sense of privacy. You can hardly hear any noise from other campers, which was something I really loved.

The host is very kind and always responds quickly and helpfully if you have any questions.

There's also a sheep farm right next to the campsite. The sheep are adorable and add a lot of charm to the whole experience.

The mobile phone signal is not very strong, but it is good enough to get things done and stay connected when needed.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to relax, unwind, and enjoy some peaceful time in nature.

Liked A beautiful campsite, surrounded by sheep and lovely views! A toilet and water is all we ever look for in a campsite so this was perfect! My boys loved riding their bike and taking themselves off for walks around the field. I am sure we will be back throughout the summer! Thank you

Local attractions

Getting your outdoors fix is easy as can be… the WWT Steart Marshes (15 minutes’ drive), which are frequented by seabirds are one spot, and Exmoor National Park (35 minutes) is another, with miles and miles of moorland trails. Doniford Farm Park (25 minutes) is another jolly good spot, especially for families, as it has animals, play areas and a café. The Walled Gardens of Cannington Tea Room (10 minutes) has a tearoom and plant shop, but adults can also ditch the coffee and indulge a little in the dry white wines of Oatley Vineyard (five minutes) if they so wish. Somewhat of a historian? Then, you may want to visit scientist and poet Andrew Crosse’s former home Fyne Court Cottage (15 minutes) or the former home of poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Coleridge Cottage (10 minutes).
