Why stay here ...
Woodlands CL is situated in a small gently sloping valley on the edge of the Mendip Hills in Somerset close to the historic City of Wells.
Surrounded by open countryside and enjoying superb views, we are close to the amenities offered by the City of Wells and the Towns of Glastonbury, Cheddar and Shepton Mallet, which makes our site the perfect base from which to tour beautiful Somerset.
There are many World famous attractions within easy reach, Wookey Hole Caves, Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury Tor, Glastonbury Abbey and Wells Cathedral to name but a few.
A little further away, there are the coastal towns of Weston-Super-Mare, Burnham-On-Sea and Clevedon offering all the fun of the seaside for those who like a bit of a paddle.
For country lovers there are many walks and quiet country lanes to explore. With rugged footpaths and fantastic views from the top of the Mendip Hills to the lower flat ground of the Somerset levels, you will be spoilt for choice as to what to see next.
There is wildlife galore in adjacent fields with Rabbits, Foxes, Deer, Squirrels, Pheasants, Buzzards, Kestrels and Owls to be seen quite regularly. Horses and the usual selection of farm animals can be seen dotted around the local landscape.
With five well spaced pitches with the benefit of individual electric hook ups.
There is a covered service area containing a fresh water point, grey waste disposal, chemical waste disposal and toilet. There is a second fresh water standpipe on the opposite side of the field.
We are sorry but electric cars cannot be charged on this CL. Nearest charging point is Morrisons in Wells.
For dogs (and well behaved owners) there is an enclosed dog walking area on the site and there are several longer walks across nearby fields and at local locations.
We provide free WI-FI access for our visitors and for added security our completely enclosed site is protected by CCTV cameras.
Run by Kathy and Joe Bowers and we like to give a personal and friendly service and there will always be someone on hand to offer help and advise when required.
Sloping site which we would advise require levelling blocks for both Caravans and Motorhomes.
If you would like more information or would like to check on availability, please call us or book using the online form provided on our Website.

Lovely peaceful stay
Had a lovely few days here at Woodlands. Owners couldn't have been more helpful. The site is spotless and very well maintained. The added area for the dogs to have some off lead running around was excellent. I would highly recommend this site.

Wonderful site
This is a fabulous site. We were met by the owner who was most helpful and kind. We were invited to choose our own pitch, and given a pass fob for the front gate, meaning that security was reassuring. Our instructions on arrival were simple and straightforward. The site itself is... Show more

Easily one of the nicest sites I’ve ever stayed on
A lovely site with everything you could ever need, the people that run it are lovely and clearly nothing was a problem. Has everything you could want and it’s pristine.
