Hard tracks throughout both fields make for easy access

  • Small adults-only site on organic working farm on the Somerset Levels
  • A 10-minute drive from Glastonbury; 15 minutes from Wells
  • Gastro pub and tea rooms just over a mile away
Looking for a peaceful pitstop surrounded by green meadows with views towards the Mendip Hills and Glastonbury Tor? Just as the nearby Avalon Marshes nature reserves welcome resting birds, Garslade Farm is a friendly place to relax and take it easy for a bit. In the winter, these fields are home to an organic sheep business run by Mike and Bridget, whose family have looked after this land since 1830. When summer comes, the lambs make way for the caravan park and campsite – with hard tracks throughout to give the humans easy access. You could spend your whole break soaking up the serenity of these surroundings, but if you want to do a few days trips, a wander around the cathedral city of Wells would be a suitably civilised way to start. Take the short but strenuous hike up Glastonbury Tor to spot all the sights in this unique landscape, then gawp at Britain’s biggest gorge – and go below into the caverns – at Cheddar Gorge. Practicalities on site are covered with toilets, showers, washing up, recycling and wifi. Barbecues are allowed, but you might decide to let someone else do all the hard work at the award-winning gastro pub in Godney – just over a mile away – or the tea rooms at Double Gate Farm (you’ll need to book ahead before all the chips or scones get gobbled up). Whichever you pick, there should be a good night's sleep to follow, as there's an 11pm noise curfew on site.

What customers say

A chilled, adults-only farm camp with stunning Tor views. Praised for friendly owners, value, and quiet vibes. Basic, clean facilities, hot showers. Great for exploring Glastonbury/Wells. Can be a bit wet, facilities are simple, but a top spot for unwinding.

Judy S.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Didn't require hook-up as solar panels on board.
The pitch was great, able to park with friends, level firm ground. Views across the Somerset Levels to Glastonbury Tor .
Facilities are basic but clean and adequate, this is reflected in the very good value price.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The site is adults only. The site stewards are helpful and maintained the site well. The facilities are clean and well kept. The pitches are nicely spaced out without over crowded spaces. The owner is very friendly and met us on arrival. We did not need to contact the owner again throughout our stay but were given the impression that we would be able to if necessary and it would be absolutely no trouble if we did. Overall we felt welcomed and encouraged to return and recommend to others.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Welcomed on arrival and had the option of a few pitches. A very quiet and peaceful site, no noise, you’re surrounded by nature. The facilities are in farm buildings, which was fine for us and we found them clean and worked well. We had a lovely stay and would return.

Local attractions

The Somerset Levels and Moors make up one of the largest lowland wetlands in Britain and a visit to the Avalon Marshes Centre and RSPB nature reserves will introduce you to their history and ecology. Time your visit right and you may witness the incredible starling murmurations. If you love shopping you really need to experience the unique mix of retailers in Glastonbury, a town long linked with the mythical and mystical. For a more mainstream selection try Clark’s Village factory shopping outlet. Meanwhile, Cheddar’s the place to shop for cheese (and cider). A classic seaside day out can be had at Weston-super-Mare – sandcastles, fish and chips, donkey rides on the beach, entertainments on the pier, it’s all here. Or if you’d like a different view of the coast, head to Brean Down, a 300ft-high headland that sticks out a mile and a half into the Bristol Channel with a ruined Napoleonic fort at the end.
