There are just 16 touring pitches on this well screened Somerset campsite with distant views of the surrounding hills. The site is within fifteen minutes walk of Wellington, which is surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes in Somerset with the Quantocks and Brendon Hills to the north and the Blackdown Hills to the South. The remainder of the site has been developed into an all year secure storage area. Only two miles from the M5, this is a useful stopping place when travelling to or from Devon and Cornwall, but the area is interesting in its own right, and is a good base for exploring in every direction, from Exmoor to the beautiful Dorset coast.
Please note: This site does not have a toilet block.

Stayed for a few nights as so convenient coming off the M5. Lovely little site and such a friendly welcome from the wardens who had only been there a a few days.

We stop here quite a few times a year as we only live an hour and a half away. No toilet or shower block but we always use our own in the caravan. We love walking and with the aid of a Ordinance map there are many walks we do. Our favourite... Show more

This site is perfect for us because it is only a short walk to visit our daughter and her family. No facilities, so a bit limiting for families. Bus stop to Taunton is a very short walk from the site and opposite, one into Wellington.
