  • Marked-out pitches or pick your own: site bordered by the River Axe
  • Wookey Hole 2.5 miles; Wells 3.5 miles
  • Farm animals, rope swings and on-site farm shop; pub/café half a mile
What a bewitching place. And most especially for kids: Wookey Farm, a couple of miles from the famed Wookey Hole Caves (and their famed witch), is a tiptop option for small sorts and their owners, with loads of space to run around and a menagerie of animals to coo over. Older offspring will be sizzling with excitement on hearing that they can stoke flames and get social at the communal campfire area, while bigger folk will probably be content to bring along a firepit and laze idly on the family pitch, taking in the views of the Mendip Hills and towards Hembury and Yarley hills… Off site, it's three and a half miles from the farm to cutely compact Wells, six miles to Glastonbury, and a drive of 45 minutes to the coast at Weston-super-Mare. The site is on a small, family-run goat farm where guests are most welcome to meet the menagerie (sheep, pigs, hens and a donkey live here too) and find out all about running a farm. All pitches are in a level two-and-a-half-acre space with marked pitches or in an overflow meadow bordered by the River Axe: you can opt to be as mixed in or as far away as you like. Splashing, paddling and critter spotting can all be had in the river, as can back and forthing merrily on the rope tyre swing over the water (more swings are around the site if this seems slightly too hair-raising). Wookey Farm is an eco-friendly site, with emphasis on keeping things as natural as possible. Facilities are basic but well kept: four compost toilets and washbasins, cleaned twice a day; a washing-up area with water tap alongside; and plenty of facilities for sorting your rubbish (recycling and food waste contributions are keenly welcomed). For those barbecue supplies, the farm is just down the lane from Wookey village's café, shop and three pubs. There's also an on-site farm shop selling the farm's own goat's cheese, goat's milk and meat, along with alcohol, snacks and gifts.

What customers say

This eco-friendly farm campsite has neat, big pitches, a nice stream, and farm animals. Visitors love the calm vibe, handy location, and farm shop. Compost toilets are usually clean, though shower and maintenance issues are sometimes mentioned. Great for a natural escape.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (small)

Liked The whole place was exactly what we needed.

Basic and loads of nature to explore. We were meant to stay in campsite 1, but I read the sign wrong on arrival and ended up in campsite 2, BIG open field… Was a brilliant mistake as we pitched up under a tree with a swing and right next to the river. The whole site felt safe for kids to wonder.

Gutted we couldn’t stay longer… Next time!

Disliked Longer opening times on the shop and more stock.

We did purchase some frozen goat meat though and look forward to trying it.

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked Beautiful, peaceful spot for a night away from home (we only live down the road but any excuse to get away and we'll come here). Lovely walks right on the doorstep. Love a site that doesn't bother you when you arrive or leave, and everyone seemed very respectful of each other's space and peace. Compost loos well managed and even on a baking hot day, don't smell or cause any issues. Woke early beause the dog needed a trip to the loo, and it was absolute heaven to quietly stroll around the field (we were in field 2) before anyone else had emerged from their tents/vans. Rather than going back to bed, I got my chair out and just sat watching the sky turn pink and the light slowly creep across the field. Obviously we were lucky with the weather, but the peace and quiet would be great at any time. Highly recommend!

Disliked Nothing!

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Location makes this site good for visiting chedder gorge & caves etc we stayed on campsite 1 far less busy than campsite 2 which was ok , kids loved the farm animals and theres handy little shop , very clean flat pitches nice size .

Disliked Fire pits were unusable as there between pitch’s and ppl’s tents or cars were literally a couple of feet away making them completely unusable only a couple of ppl used the fire pits on empty pitch’s , we couldn't the compostable toilet's there probably the nicest & cleanest compostable loo’s iv ever seen but my god the smell is enough to knock a horse out theres no sawdust just pure sawage and two full tanks just sitting outside made the smell even worse with the slightest breeze you could smell them and we werent camp no where near , it 100% needs sawdust of something everyone was complaining about them , also not the site owners fault but lack of presence means some campers who were in groups literally turn feral we had kids screaming and running around well past quiet time adults starting there cars shinning there led headlights into our tent while blowing air beds up 10:30 at night woke both my children , hitting cars with footballs and frisbees , playing music half the night , loudly arguing as other campers mentioned to me if someone popped in just to check on things now & then it might deter ppl from acting so badly , im glad we only stayed a weekend lovely site pity about the toilets & fire pits & some unruly guests

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked Our stay was lovely, everything you need on site and the owners are lovely. The loos were kept impeccably clean and the site is well maintained, lots of animals around to go and say hi to which we loved. Really liked how stripped back everything was, made our stay very relaxing, we will definitely be returning :)

Disliked The only thing i’d mention is how hard it is to find the site if you aren’t super local! multiple satnavs took us the wrong way and it took for us to stop at a nearby pub for someone to advise us of how to get there.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (small)

Liked Amazing location, so close to great attractions like wookey hole and Glastonbury. We had a lovely secluded pitch surrounded by trees with it's own campfire. Cute little spring that my 4 year old loved playing in. Loved the animals on the farm that you can go and see. Really easy check in with names on a blackboard with pitch number. Will definitely come back!

Disliked Not a dislike but would be amazing if there was a little kids play area and BBQs to rent.

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked Beautiful location and views. Plenty of space between pitches to feel like you've got privacy. The stream is great and it attracted some stunning wildlife. Goats on site are great! We enjoyed visiting them lots. We will absolutely be back!

Disliked Unfortunately, the shop opened 10am-12pm daily which meant we missed it entirely. It would be great if it could have opened for a bit early evening.

From the manager: Hi,

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked The site itself, lake and rope swings was a nice touch. Lots of happy healthy animals around and friendly staff. The owner was friendly and efficient and understanding of us needing to leave early. Can’t fault it. Also a really good location for local attractions and places to go.

Disliked The compost toilet and being unable to shower. The toilet was a personal view It was my first time using one.

Local attractions

The farm is within easy reach of many top spots as well as Wookey Hole Caves, Glastonbury, Wells and Weston-super-Mare: spectacular Cheddar Gorge is 20 minutes' drive away, Longleat and Bath within 50, and Bristol just under an hour. Quieter times await around the region's walks, such as along the 30 miles of the West Mendip Way running from Wells via Wookey to the sea at Uphill, or the Strawberry Line (also 30 miles), a traffic-free route across Somerset from Shepton Mallet to Clevedon. Closer to home, amble along the River Axe flowing through the farm. Till ringers and fashion fans should take their wallets to Clarks Village, 20 minutes away, for outlet shopping and the Shoe Museum.
