About the site
Tucked away in a tree-enclosed meadow near Ilminster, this peaceful retreat is surrounded by beautiful countryside and within an hour's drive from Dorset and it's wonderful beaches. With ten generously sized pitches available for tents or small campervans, the site offers a memorable and intimate camping experience. The camping areas are surrounded by wildflowers and long grass, creating a picturesque setting for all campers. Each pitch is carefully curated to ensure campers have their preferred spot. The site kindly advises guests to bring a high-quality torch with them as some areas of the site may be unlit. The facilities and Scandinavian sauna are included in your stay, providing an added touch of luxury to your camping experience. There is also an all-weather barn with seating, and campers have access to a fridge freezer and microwave. For those seeking a glamping experience, Knowle Meadow also offers thoughtfully designed accommodation that ensures a magical stay. The Yarrow Shepherd's Hut is a two person hut made locally in Merriott. It boasts a superbly comfortable double bed, warming log burner, mini kitchen, and private Scandinavian woodfired hot tub. Yarrow's private hedge-enclosed garden has a firepit with a grill and outside seating, offering stunning views of the surrounding area. The site also offers two Lotus Stargazer Belle Tents (sleeps four), Bluebell and Foxglove, each with its own unique style. Both tents are six metres in diameter with skylight windows, providing uninterrupted views of the night sky. Each tent has a king-size bed and two single "camp" beds suitable for children. Electricity is available too. Two dogs are welcome to stay in Bluebell, sorry, no dogs are allowed in Foxglove.

Sometimes you just stumble across little gems, this happens to be one of them. Knowle Meadow was absolutely wonderful. From it's location to the facilities to how lovely Phillip was, everything had been thought of. This really is a 5 star campsite and a beautiful place to come and reset.

What a beautiful, peaceful spot. This was our first camping trip as a family so we only did two nights, but we wished we were staying for longer. The site is beautiful and peaceful and you are surrounded by trees and nature. The kids loved running around and exploring. The facilities were fantastic, with a wonderful shower and toilet block and a sauna - worthy of a boutique hotel never mind a campsite! Close enough to pubs and shops to easily get supplies, but instantly feeling like you are miles away from civilisation once you enter the site - perfect for a tranquil family stay. The hosts were perfect - plenty of helpful advice about the area and just lovely people. This is a little treasure - we are so lucky to have places like this in the UK! We will be back.

Without a doubt, the nicest campsite I've ever visited. A beautiful meadow. We stayed in the shepherd's hut, which had everything we needed and was super clean and so cosy. The woodburning sauna was amazing! Such a lovely touch. The owners were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. I will definitely be returning. Such a relaxing place to be.
