  • Rural Somerset site crossed by a stream a five-minute drive from Frome
  • Longleat 10 minutes’ drive; Wookey Hole Caves 35 minutes
  • Play area with miniature adventure course; dog-friendly walks nearby
A gorgeously rural corner of Somerset is the setting for Seven Acres Camping Site, which stretches over (you guessed it…) seven acres on the edge of the Longleat Estate, a five-minute drive from the town of Frome. A stream runs through the site, which is just off the B3092; this makes it easy to access, but it also means you may hear some traffic noise. A railway line runs parallel to the road, too… but you might find that the jolly whistling of a passing train rather adds to the romance of camping. It’s all about perspective, isn’t it? Regardless, forget the possible noises and accentuate the positive, starting with oodles of space and a play area with play equipment and a miniature adventure course where the kids can climb, slide and swing to their hearts’ content (while you keep an eye on proceedings from the nearby shaded bench). There are no cars permitted in the camping field, keeping the atmosphere peaceful; after you park up, you'll need to unload and walk to your pitch. This is a self-check-in site, so settle in at your own pace. While you may not see them, the team is on-site daily to make sure everything is running smoothly. Your canine companion is not left behind either, with plenty of dog-friendly walks in the surrounding area. Have a go at the circular Mells Walk (10 minutes’ drive), following the course of the Mells River; or head to Clanger Wood (20 minutes’ drive), known for its bluebell meadows and colourful butterflies. Cranborne Chase National Landscape (35 minutes) has trails leading through its distinctive landscape of chalk river valleys and escarpments; this area is also an International Dark Skies Reserve, so be sure you have all you need to stay until after sundown for some spectacular stargazing.

What customers say

Beautiful, well-kept campground, loved for cleanliness and quiet. Guests enjoy spacious spots, mature trees, and a stream. Facilities are good, with easy self-check-in and secure gates. Great value, perfect for families (play area, near Longleat). Minor notes on shower privacy/road noise, with improvements ongoing.

Carol N.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Very nice tidy site with a lovely stream and amongst the trees was so pretty.

Disliked One toilet was exceptionally dirty even after it had been cleaned by the staff and it had been used and not cleaned from the user after use. Rubbish hadn’t been placed in bin.
It was just spoilt for others.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The toilets and showers were clean and tidy. There were trolleys at the entrance of the grass field making it easier to transport the camping gear. Fire pits were there to use, making the evenings a bit warmer. The kids loved the play equipment & playing poo sticks in the river.

Disliked Toilet blocks were clean but the showers were small and not very private

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Nice pitches with trees, clean toilets. Road and train noise not too intrusive.

Disliked Layout of toilet block offered no privacy. Shortage of shelves and hooks.
No staff on site apart from gardener briefly. Left a telephone enquiry but there was no response. Tent field across the stream looked attractive although by last week was empty. Presumably the very long list of do's and don't was aimed at summer holiday campers but was not particularly welcoming nor were the locked rubbish bins with a notice saying if bins are full to take your rubbish home.

Local attractions

Budding zoologists might enjoy a day at Longleat (10 minutes’ drive), where you can drive through vast enclosures housing big cats, wolves and rhinos; get hopelessly lost in Britain’s largest hedge maze; and take a tour of the 16th-century stately home, with its splendid artworks and tapestries. Wookey Hole Caves (35 minutes), on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills National Landscape, features a subterranean network of limestone caverns and passages with evocative names like Witch’s Kitchen. After having a go at the caving experience, check out the lifesize creatures at Dinosaur Valley or unwind on the miniature golf course. Treat yourself to a visit to Bath (35 minutes). The Roman bath complex in the centre of town includes a sacred spring and a museum displaying ancient artefacts. Follow that with afternoon tea at the Regency Tea Room at the Jane Austen Centre, where you can pretend to be Emma or Mr Darcy.
