Welcome to station farm

  • Secluded site on a small welcoming Somerset working farm
  • In the Avalon Marshes nature reserves, five miles from Glastonbury
  • Riverside wildlife haven with firepit for each pitch
What a spot for wildlife lovers… Station Farm is a small family-run Somerset farm on the edge of Shapwick Heath Nature Reserve and situated between the Ham Wall and Westhay Moor Reserves (3,700 acres of reclaimed wetland collectively known as the Avalon Marshes). Bring your binoculars along for a stay here – you’re likely to spot all sorts of bird life (including cranes, egrets, birds of prey and kingfishers) around here, and there are several hides within a short walk for those who’d like to settle in for some serious spotting. If birdwatching’s not your thing, look out instead for otters or head out straight from the farm onto footpaths and bike routes across the reserves (including the Bittern Trail, which goes all the way to Glastonbury, five miles away). Just next to the farm is a river that’s fab for kayaking, paddleboarding, wild swims and fishing (permit required). Sticking to dry land, there’s plenty of space for kids to run about and greet the farm animals (ponies, sheep, pigs, donkeys and free-range poultry). Each pitch is provided with a barbecue/firepit (with logs and kindling available to buy) so you’ll also have space to keep warm once evening falls. This is an off-grid site so it’s a good idea to bring a torch along; toilets, showers, drinking water and a covered washing-up area are a short walk from each pitch. For safety, there’s no parking on pitches but wheelbarrows are provided to help haul kit. (Parents, do be aware that there’s easy access to lakes, ditches and the river so you’ll still need to keep an eye on the kids.)

Liked Carl and Bethany are fantastic hosts the campsite is lovely.
The facilitate clean and there is everything you could need there.
As it’s a working farm it’s awesome seeing the animals and hanging out with ducks in the evening.

Liked Fantastic site on a working but sustainability and environmentally focussed farm - warm welcome from Simon and Bethan from the off. Lovely quiet site with spotless toilets and showers and well serviced washing up area etc. fantastically situated for all the Avalon Marsh nature reserves. Already planning a return visit!

Middle Ground primitive cement/asphalt and grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Hands down the best campsite we've stayed in. Brilliantly rustic but done with real flair; incredibly tranquil, spotlessly clean and the most genuine welcome from Karl and Bethan. And lovely hens and guinea fowl pottering about! We were sad to leave and can't wait to come back.

Disliked Leaving!

Local attractions

If you need to get your bearings, a good place to start is at the Avalon Marshes Visitor Centre (five minutes’ walk) – there’s a café here too, so you can plan your walks over a cup of coffee. Beyond your immediate surroundings, there’s plenty more to see – perhaps beginning with an outing to Glastonbury (10 minutes’ drive/half an hour’s cycle) to stroll through the town and visit the abbey and the tor. Wells (20 minutes’ drive) is another urban centre that’s worth a wander, particularly if you stop in at Europe’s first Gothic-style cathedral. For outdoor days, go for a hike around Cheddar Gorge (20 minutes) or hit the beach in Burnham-on-Sea (20 minutes). The West Somerset Railway (45 minutes) is a good option if you fancy seeing some of the scenery at a leisurely pace. Other ways to fill your days? Well, maybe delving into the caves at Wookey Hole (20 minutes), visiting Europe’s largest naval aviation collection at Fleet Air Arm Museum (half an hour) or checking out the stately home and safari park at Longleat (50 minutes)…
