About Westermill Farm Campsite
The farm is a peaceful family friendly campsite that's full of rural charm. Campfires are welcome in the fourth field and there are communal fire pits for campers in the other fields who wish to enjoy their marshmallow smores! The site is dog friendly and BBQs are permitted for a proper camping cook out. There's also home grown free range sausages on offer at the farm, so you won't be short of something tasty for dinner. After a long day's walking, enjoy a piping hot shower with water which comes from the local farm water and is heated with wood from the farm. Pitches are on spacious green hills with views either of the River Exe or the nearby Exmoor countryside, both lovely to enjoy. All but one of the camping fields have direct access to the river, which children love. Enjoy fishing and paddling, or take the kids to see the farm animals. Visitors choose where to camp on arrival and pitch in the spot that suits them best. There are four Somerset Wildlife Sites on the farm so the environment is also a top priority. There are always sheep, pigs, chickens and cattle roaming the nearby fields.
