About Greenacres Camping
This camping and touring site is perfect for families and is located on the outskirts of North Wootton Village, offering breathtaking views of Glastonbury Tor. It's conveniently located just a 10 minute drive away from the towns of Glastonbury, Wells, and Shepton Mallet, making it an ideal base for exploring the best of Somerset. The site offers spacious and flat grass pitches that are suitable for any tent or tourer. You can choose between non electric or 16 amp electric pitches, and once you've set up camp, you can relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Spread across four and a half acres, this dog free site has a huge field that's safe for children to run around in while parents can relax. There's even a children's playground, and if the weather isn't great, a library of board games and books is available. The site is close to nature reserves such as RSPB Ham Wall and Avalon Marshes, which means that the wildlife is abundant here. Bike hire is also available, so you can explore the many stunning cycle trails throughout the area. Campfires are welcome on this site, and you can even hire fire pits to make your camping experience even more enjoyable.
The site is open from 24th May - 1st June, 7th - 9th June, 22nd - 2nd July and 19th July - 3rd September.
Onsite you'll find a shower and toilet facility block, with spacious fields for the children to run and play. Washing up facilities and shared fridge-freezers are also available. There's a library of books and puzzles to choose from, too, as well as cycle and firepit hire. Reception offers ice creams for sale, and batteries and Calor and Camping Gaz are able to be recharged/filled onsite.
There is a Morissons in Wells just a short ten minute drive away, and the local pub, The Crossways, is just a three minute drive, 15 minute walk away - or a gentle bike ride.

We've been here several times now because this site is basically absolutely brilliant. Clean and well kept, with huge marked flat pitches all around the field edge (so you know you'll fit and there's no rush to 'bagsi' a decent space if you're arriving later). It's safe for the kids of all ages to play ball games in the middle of the field (but still in sight - from a distance!). The fridges/freezer access is great, they sell ice lollies and you can have a camp fire pit. And the customer service is fab. Camping the way it should be!

My young daughter and I absolutely loved our stay here! It was totally relaxing and felt peaceful, even with all the children playing. Such a beautiful atmosphere with feel good vibes. Ideal for visiting the locals towns and villages, or just staying put! Sufficient facilities for the pitch capacity - even with a full camp we never had to wait to use anything. The toilets were always clean and well supplied, and the bins never overflowing. And the ground is beautifully maintained with thick, soft grass. The owners take great care of the site and their visitors. Oh and the ample, communal fridge and freezer space was a great relief. The facilities here really take the pain out of camping! I would highly recommend this site to those with young families. Even single parents like myself can enjoy a relaxed, painless stay here as pretty much the whole camp is in eyesight and you're only ever a few long strides away from the toilets! Only disappointment for us is that they're not open beyond early September and we'll have to wait until May for them to re-open - we truly just can't wait to go back there!!! :) This is now most definitely our preferred choice for staying in Somerset.

We are a group of 6 (5 adults and 1, 10 year old girl) and stayed there over the Bank Holiday weekend for 3 nights. Despite the unstable weather, we had a brilliant weekend there. We booked 2 pitches for 3 tents. 2 of them were four-man tents, 1 was a small pup-tent. The pitches are completely flat and all located around the edge and the middle of field is empty for everyone to enjoy playing football or badminton. Facilities were all clean and they have toddler toilet seat attached on the all toilet, which I thought a nice touch. We had our fire pit with us, but they had some bricks to raise our firepit from the ground. They also sell logs for fire at £7.50 for a big bag. There are children's play area with two small huts where kids can go inside and play. My daughter particularly loved swings (well, it's just a normal swing) and she spent so many time there with her newly made friends. We visited Wells on the first day which is only 4 miles away. Wells is a beautiful city with magnificent cathedral. We joined the tour which takes about 1 hour and it was brilliant. We went to Chedder Gorge on the next day, which is about 30 minutes drive. We booked it in advance, but there is a discount ticket available at the campsite too. After checked out on the last day, we visited Glastonbury Tor and Burnham-on-Sea before heading back home. All experience was perfect apart from the beach, maybe because of the weather but the water looked very muddy and I couldn't bear to swim although my daughter didn't mind and enjoyed swimming.
