  • Family-friendly site in a rural spot three miles from Frome
  • A 15-minute drive from Longleat House and Longleat Safari Park
  • Firepits (first-come, first-served) and games room on site
Set on a Somerset break? It's a crafty move to grab a spot at The Den and Orchard, a family-friendly site on the edge of the Cranborne Chase National Landscape. It just so happens that there are plenty of walks nearby, as well as other days out in the local area, including fishing, mountain biking, visits to National Trust properties and the excellent Longleat Safari Park. Firepits are available on a first-come, first-served basis – either bring your own firewood or purchase it on site – for a laidback evening of cooking and flame gazing. The appointed chef can acquire essentials at the supermarkets in Frome, three miles away. If you'd rather let someone else do the honours, it's possible to order local food delivery from your phone or take a short five-minute drive to local food outlets. Facilities on site include a washing-up area and a wooden toilet block with gents’ and ladies’ toilets and showers. A games room (with darts, table football and table tennis) is on hand too, for damp evenings and general entertainment. Being just under half a mile from an A road, you may hear some road noise at rush hour or if the wind is blowing in the site's direction. Just outside of Frome, it's a bit noisier here than at a fully rural site, but it's very handy for getting around and also for ordering from takeaways in Frome or quickly picking up supplies in town.

What customers say

This clean, well-kept campsite is secure, with friendly staff and great amenities like a game room and playground, perfect for families. It's conveniently located for local attractions. Some guests found road noise and limited pitch space an issue, with a few noting shower availability or dated facilities in older sections. Overall, highly recommended with many planning return trips.

 Neil L. 3 reviews

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked Friendly and helpful staff - facilities and small well maintained site that has a nice communal feel. Well located for many days out such as Longleat, Wookey Hole and towns like Bath,Wells and Glastonbury

Disliked Site is possibly more geared towards motorhomes than tents (not a bad thing depending on your perspective). Traffic noise from A361 can disturb the peace to a degree at night but not a problem to an average urban resident

Liked Such a last minute find and such a lovely place to stay. Cabin had plenty of space, clean and tidy inside, a small play area for kids and child friendly. Also location was close to Longleat Safari park which was very convenient.

Power optional grass and gravel RV campsite

Liked Lovely little camp site. Showers were basic but fine and usually clean. Nice play equipment for children. The club house is really nice and is underrated on their website!

Disliked There wasn’t a play field for children, but that’s a really small thing.

Apple Blossom lodge

Liked Location was fab, everything seemed clean, the accommodation was cute and had great amenities

Disliked Being told by our camping neighbour in a shepherds hut next to us, quite rudely, to be quiet at 9:20pm on a Saturday night. We were not being loud and they knew we were just trying to put our children to bed

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked Well maintained site with clean kitchen area and clean toliet block. Reasonably flat pitches for camping. Also has wifi.

Disliked The traffic noise from the nearby A-road is very loud, 24/7. Even with ear plugs you could still hear the traffic throughout the night. Because of the constant noise we left a day early.

Power optional grass and gravel RV campsite

Liked Die Anlagem des Campingplatzes sind mit sehr viel Liebe und Geschmack eingerichtet. Vieles ist kostenlos vor Ort wie Spüli, Schwämme, Trockentuch. Es ist alles sauber und wird regelmäßig gereinigt.
Jeder Platz hat eine eigene Wiese mit Sitzmöglichkeit, Wasser und Strom sind am Platz.
In einer Hütte gibt es einen tollen Kicker und eine Tischtennisplatte. Schläger und Bälle sind vor Ort. Für Kinder gibt es einen kleinen Spielplatz und Fußballtore und Bälle. Alles kann kostenlos genutzt werden.
Um das Areal herum liegen in unmittelbarer Nähe schöne Wanderwege, auch Frome ist über eine Nebenstraße bequem zu Fuß erreichbar. Gegenüber ist auf dem Gelände des Lighthouse ein riesengroßer Park, der u.a. ein Paradies für Hunde ist, die dort auch eine Schwimmmöglichkeit hat.
Sehr einfacher Zugang und guter Schutz des Eigentums durch Ein- und Ausgang per Code.
Sehr nette Betreiber.

Disliked Eine naheliegende Straße ist hörbar.
Die Zufahrten zu den Plätzen sind ziemlich eng.

Local attractions

Work up an appetite for the next meal tackling the mountain bike trails at Windhill Bike Park or seeking out one of the circular walking trails in the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; both are about 10 minutes away by car. If you’d like your walks to take in pretty gardens and historic buildings, head to Nunney Castle (five minutes’ drive), The Walled Garden at Mells (10 minutes) or Stourhead National Trust property (15 minutes). Bath’s half an hour away for urban strolls with a Roman tinge, and fishing is 15 minutes away at Shearwater Lake for those who need a bit of a rest. You’ll easily fill a day over at Longleat (15 minutes away), driving the safari trails, visiting all the different animal areas, touring the house and pottering through the pleasure gardens. The famed caves and kid-friendly attractions at Wookey Hole are about half an hour away.
