About the site
Set just outside the town of Chard, this family-friendly woodland site is an ideal base for exploring Somerset, within easy reach of Devon, Dorset and the Jurrasic Coast. Just 20 minutes from Lyme Regis, spend days out at the beach enjoying an ice cream and evenings wildlife spotting from your pitch. For tents and small campervan campers, there are ample pitches where you can enjoy the feeling of seclusion in a totally natural setting, with an abundance of both flora and fauna. There are non-electric woodland pitches set on a leaf littered floor, along with some electric pitches which are in a woodland grassy area with a mix of sun and shade. Caravans, campervans and motorhomes are served with hardstanding, naturally draining and level pitches, arranged in an arc with the freedom to erect awnings. These pitches have an optional 10 amp electric hook up. Some pitches are bathed in sunshine while others enjoy gentle shading from the leaf canopy of magnificent oaks. Picnic benches are arranged around the site for eating alfresco and are ideal for picnics and BBQs. Raised fire pits are also welcome onsite so don't forget the marshmallows. As well as camping and touring, the site has five luxury Scandinavian log cabins, four with private hot tubs. Friendly dogs are welcome, as long as they are on leads.

First time visiting this site and we were really impressed. It’s not a massive site which we preferred, but there’s a play area for children (not needed by us but great for families). The showers and toilets were really clean and also has under floor heating which was really appreciated. The weather wasn’t great when we arrived or left, but the 2 days in between were dry enough for us to get out for long dog walks. Would definitely visit again, hopefully when the weather is better.
Perfect woodland camping

We came with friends and we stayed in a non-electric woodland pitch in our vans and even though it rained, it was one of the best campsites we have stayed at. The owners were friendly and very helpful, even let us move to another pitch as ours was like a quagmire after continuous rain. The facilities were clean and the showers were perfect and hot. The on site shop had all the basics you would need, and the heated pool was a big hit with our friend's 11 year old. The bird song in the mornings just made it perfect, we will definitely be staying again.
Wonderful Woodland Gem!

Excellent woodland site with lots of trees and rhododendrons (and some WWII pill boxes). Superb customer service from the friendly owner Keith. (It rained on our second day so Keith texted us to ask when we'd like our firewood, to ensure it remained dry.) Strongly recommended -- so glad we camped at this site!
