About the site


Set on five acres of farmland, this small off-grid site is perfect for peace and quiet, whilst in easy reach of some of Somerset's most popular attractions. The farm rears livestock and grows fruit and vegetables, which you can sample if it is the right time of year, and offers a truly rustic experience for all. The site offers six spacious 10m x 10m non electric grass pitches. Each pitch welcomes tent campers only, with up to eight guests per pitch. You will find a large unfurnished yurt, please bring everything you would, minus the tent. There is also a furnished family yurt with a super king size bed, and two pull-out single mattresses for kids. All bedding is provided, please bring your own towels! Yurts have a picnic bench and fire pit outside. For a little more luxury, try the shepherds hut which comes equipped with a super king size bed, two bunk beds for kids, a kitchenette and a shower. All of the pitches and Shepherd's Hut are also supplied with a picnic bench and fire pit. Bring along your marshmallows or simply cosy up around the warmth of the fire and enjoy a relaxing evening in the open. BBQs are also welcome, and the site often has homemade produce available to purchase. Please note, the site is dog free.

Open from 30 June to 2 October

A note from the site themselves...

Back in 2018, we started offering camping at the Lorax Patch. We have a focus on providing the type of camping experience that we search for when we're on a trip. We're not interested in jamming in the maximum number of pitches, we want each group to have space and be able to enjoy evenings around the campfire.

This is a rustic, wild camping experience. We have just one outdoor hot shower and toilets are composting. But this happens to attract the very finest of campers!
