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, beavers and water voles 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.)

What customers say

Great campsite: spacious spots, nature nearby, friendly hosts Bethan & Karl. Clean loos & washing up. Farm animals are a winner, especially for kids. Watch out for queues at the two loo/shower units, though they're working on it.

 Philip M. 1 review

Middle Ground non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Excellent uncrowded site keeping cars away from the camp area except small camper vans. It felt like wild camping but with access to water and toilets.

Disliked Only slight issue was that shower and toilet are in the same unit and there are only two. I separate single toilet would help avoid a queue. But this is only a minor issue and did not distract from enjoying our stay.

Middle Ground non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We only stayed one night, as we were on a road trip and passing through the Somerset Levels. But everything was great - excellent communication beside we arrived - a warm welcome and a thorough 'get to know the site' from Karl on arrival - nice, quiet pitch - excellent showers/loos - all very clean and orderly. All coupled with a fantastic location.

Disliked This didn't pose a problem for us, but we did wonder whether only 2 toilet/ shower units might not be sufficient if the site was busy?

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)…
