  • Small family-friendly site at the foot of Glastonbury Tor
  • Five minutes’ drive from Glastonbury and 15 minutes from Wells
  • Shared basic kitchen for guests, underfloor heating in shower block
Rural views as you wander, or rural views as you sit clutching a cider on site – park up for a bit of both at scenic Glastonbury Camping and Caravanning, a small and family-friendly Somerset site five minutes’ drive from Glastonbury. The site’s particularly well placed for countryside jaunts – it’s a peaceful 25-minute ramble from here into the centre of Glastonbury, where guests can head out for hikes along the famed Monarch’s Way all the way to Wells. If that’s too lengthy, opt instead for clambering up Glastonbury Tor – it’s less than 15 minutes’ walk to the base, then a relatively easy climb to the top for cracking views over the Somerset Levels. More? Take explores further afield with wanders into the pretty Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where the oh-so-scenic Cheddar Gorge is already posing for photos, and sub-surface explores await at Wookey Hole caves. There's no need to trek that far for lovely vistas though… Views of Glasto Tor and the Somerset Levels can be had from the pitches, making evenings spent unwinding a proper visual treat. Settle in with a home-cooked meal – prepped in the basic shared guest kitchen, with fridge-freezer, microwave and kettle – then wash off the remains of the day in the shower block, where underfloor heating keeps toes warm even on chillier days.

What customers say

This charming, friendly spot offers great amenities & stunning Tor views. Guests rave about cleanliness, level sites, & easy walks to town/Tor. Owners are super welcoming. A bit of road noise for light sleepers & some dampness in wet weather are noted.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked View of Glastonbury Tor. Location good for walks to the Tor and into Glastonbury. Nice small site. Level pitches, toilet/shower block functional.
The owners made themselves available for help/advice.

Disliked Road noise, unavoidable I know. Showers in very close proximity to the toilets. So when I used the toilet I was extremely close to someone using the shower and visa versa. Also no main door separating the men’s showers/toilets from the woman’s.

Cara B.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Peaceful stay with stunning views of the Tor 🌿
We had a lovely stay here on an electric hardstanding pitch with our dog. The site is peaceful and well kept, with all the facilities we needed for a comfortable night. On arrival, we were given helpful directions for walking to the Tor or into town, which was a lovely touch. Despite braving Storm Amy, we had a wonderfully calm and relaxing stay — and the view of the Tor was absolutely brilliant! We’d happily stay again.

Disliked Personally I would prefer main doors into the male & female toilets. As a female for some reason it made me feel a bit vulnerable.

If using Google Maps, use the house name – Higher Edgarley House – instead of the postcode as it will direct you right to the bottom of the main track. Sat nav users, please pay attention to the directions in the email you will be sent as the postcode is shared and you can be sent the wrong way. In particular, don't drive up Ashwell Lane as it is very narrow and there is no need (the site's main driveway is off the A361). What3words location: reshape.strange.flagging

Local attractions

Glastonbury is known for its ancient sites, including Glastonbury Abbey and the Chalice Well, and a couple of museums – Somerset Rural Life Museum and the Shoe Museum – provide further food for thought for history fans. There are shops, pubs and restaurants to tick off while there, too, but if you take your shopping more seriously, outlet shopping centre Clarks Village is 10 minutes' drive away in Street. RSPB Ham Wall (15 minutes' drive) is a fine choice for birdwatchers; those who seek a bit more firepower can transport themselves to Fleet Air Arm Museum (20 minutes) or Haynes International Motor Museum (25 minutes) for collections of aircraft, cars and motorbikes. A taste of the West Country’s fave tipple – cider, of course – can be had by sampling the offerings at Wilkins Cider Farm (20 minutes) and Somerset Cider Brandy Company and Burrow Hill Cider (35 minutes), then stocking up on supplies for evenings by the barbie. For kid-friendly days, pile into the car with a picnic and get close to lions, tigers and monkeys at Longleat Safari Park – really close if you opt for the VIP safari tours and feeding experiences – or join the thrill-seekers at Brean Theme Park and Brean Splash Waterpark (all 40 minutes).
