Redwood Rare Breeds Campsite

Liked One of the few camp sites of recent to feel a lot more like wild camping. I guess that will also be a factor on how many people book, but given how many cool little areas you could plot up, one of the better camp sites I have found recently.

Liked Such a beautiful setting, with views for miles over Somerset and Wiltshire. Level pitches, clean compost loos, and warm showers. We loved watching the birds around the lake - swallows, swifts, herons, and ducks, among others. Was great to meet the animals on the farm - we fed the baby goats and fell in love with the little donkeys. In the evening we loved sitting round the communal campfire, and the children enjoyed making friends and playing in the woods and around the field.

Disliked Everything was perfect except the track up to the field was a little gnarly - had to just rev pretty hard to get up it, but it got easier after a few goes!

Liked Friendly staff, great to see the animals, my boys loved the goats!
Gorgeous spot for camping at the top of the hill.

Disliked Not so much a dislike but we were hoping to get a toastie or something from the cafe for breakfast but they don't serve food other than a few cakes.

Liked The view, the showers, the owners, the clientele, the rope swing, the woods - although could have a better trail and things to discover for little'uns

Disliked The toilets im afraid. I think if this is addressed, and will be hopefully by the time we return next year, you're on to a winner.
We are new to camping so dont know if i am being pedantic, but this was a dislike for me.

Liked Great pond/lake for swimming and paddle boarding, composting toilets which were very clean as were the showers. Loved the animals, they were all really friendly. Small play park for children

Disliked We wee hoping for more variety from the farm shop and cafe

Only downside was the very steep gravelled track leading to the pitches

Liked Beautiful location with far reaching views. Quiet, abundence of nature, gorgeous lakes, warm showers, good facilities. Added advantage of beeing able to swim in lake, walk through the extensive woodlands and see all of the farm animals. There is a shop that sells basics and a simple cafe.

Disliked Hill a bit steep to access campsite so we did wheelspin a bit, however this didn't put us off just thought it's good to make people aware.
Shop and cafe where a bit low of stock we were hoping to buy steaks for bbq and have a lunch in cafe but unable on this visit.

Liked Loved the farm, loads of animals, friendly staff, this was our first camping trip, loved the fact that once you got up to the sight you could pitch up anywhere.

Compost toilets are very clean, and well maintained, clear instructions on what to do for those who have never been camping this helped, beautiful views very quiet and peaceful.

Shower blocks very clean and has hot water, fresh water available, and a washing up area as well

Plenty off bins for everything gas cans, chemical waste, general waste.

And loved the fact the dog could walk around the farm with us, and sit in the cafe with us as well.

This would also be great for anyone that has kids as there a park in the farm as well.

Disliked So a couple off dislikes for us
- the road to get up to the campsite is very steep and big rocks and stones going up and loads off pot holes, if your not a confident driver and dont like hill as well as trying to keep traction this drive up isn't for the faint hearted.
we had a SUV and fortunately I had my partner with me or I dont think I would have got the car up to the top.

- Swimming isn't permitted in the lake unless you have a pass, which needs to be purchased at the farm shop. Which was a shame because this was the main reason why we pick this location think this needs to be put in the rules and made clear.

- if you pitch up by the lake like we did be careful as we had wasp, and dragon flys ending up in our tent, would recommend taking a portable bug Zapper this helped a bit.

Make sure you have everything before you go apart from the farm shop there isn't any local shops or towns near by (including enough fuel, nearest petrol station is 10 miles approx away by car) you cant walk to it.
