  • Peaceful and scenic touring pitches on a friendly, family-run farm
  • Walks in the Blackdown Hills National Landscape 15 minutes' drive away
  • A 10-minute drive from the M5 and 40 minutes from the southwest coast
Seeking some simple Somerset serenity? Grab yourselves a pitch at Gamlins Farm Touring Park, which has a splendid 2.6 acres of peaceful countryside to its name. The touring pitches here are spacious and surrounded by lovely hill views, making it just the spot for a bit of quiet rural relaxation. It’s a family-run and family-friendly place where dogs are welcome too – both kids and dogs are likely to appreciate the chance to run about in the open air while the grownups put their feet up and soak up the views. All the essential facilities have been provided here, including a launderette, a chemical disposal point, toilets and showers. Guests are welcome to bring barbecues or light campfires; pick up supplies at the shops in nearby Wellington (10 minutes’ drive) or Taunton (20 minutes). Both towns are also good places to find places to eat out, and there are also several pubs to pick from in the local villages. As it’s only a 10-minute drive from the M5, Gamlins Farm makes a handy stopover point for those taking on a long motorway trip. It’s worth a trip in its own right too, though, for a few days chilling out in scenic surroundings with your family, your pals, your other half or just your good self. Locations on the southwest coast of England, including Exmouth and Sidmouth, are 40 to 45 minutes' drive away from the site.

Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely couple who manage site. Site and facilities are lovely and clean and secure.

Disliked Unsure about the gate situation. I think its locked all the time and only managers can open it... so may be an issue if coming back late. But I'm sure the managers would sort something out.

Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Everything about this site! Starting with the most friendlest of welcomes from Lisa and Woody... even our dog was made to feel welcomed.
We were allowed to choose our own pitch, all of which were clean and well maintained and evenly spaced.
The facilities for a small quiet site were impeccable. The toilets and showers were exceptionally clean.
The site is small, yet perfect for a quiet peaceful getaway.

Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lisa and Woody were very friendly site managers who were willing to do whatever they could to make people's stays memorable and enjoyable.
This newly refurbished site was a pleasure to stay at for 3 nights. It had lovely views and was so quiet and peaceful at nights.
We stayed on a large hardstanding level pitch which had electric as an optional extra.
There were lovely extra touches like washing up liquid by sinks, toiletries in the shower and toilet facilities, in case you had forgotten something, along with pictures and plants to make it feel homely.
The facilities were kept clean and tidy at all times.
However, as the site has only just reopened it wasn't fully booked. It was a great find though and we would definitely recommend the site and happily stay again.

PS keep up the good work 👏

Disliked Not so much dislikes but suggestions.

A squeegy in the showers instead of a mop would have been better.

A small tap and hose by the chemical toilet waste to enable you to wash it out would be useful.

A small bin for food waste/teabags etc next to the washing up area.

Better signage to the site required.

We did speak to Woody regarding a couple of these things, so they may well have already been actioned.

Using the postcode in a satnav sometimes takes you to Gamlins Farm Yard rather than the caravan park. If this happens, go past the farm yard and around the corner; you will see the caravan park on the right-hand side, roughly 300 metres further along.

Local attractions

The main focus at this site is usually relaxing in the lovely rural setting rather than packing days full of busy excursions. There are, however, plenty of options for low-key outings, including walks in the nearby Blackdown Hills National Landscape (15 minutes’ drive) or at the Bridwell Park estate (10 minutes), where you may well encounter deer in the grounds. For other outdoor activities nearby, train your aim at Abbey Burton Clay Shooting (15 minutes), play a round at Oake Manor Golf Club (20 minutes) or head to Somerset Adventures (20 minutes) for archery, climbing and watersports. For something a little bit different (but thoroughly rural), how about meeting some cute companions at Somerset Sheep Trekking or Stoke Wood Alpacas (both 25 minutes)? If you need indoor attractions for a damp day, both the Museum of Somerset and County Classics Motor Museum in Taunton (20 minutes) are worth visiting. There’s also an intriguing little museum/heritage centre at Upottery Airfield (25 minutes) for anyone with an interest in flying and/or the area’s role in World War II.
