About the site


A peaceful touring and camping site spread across a two-acre field surrounded by protected woodland just on the edge of Bishops Lydeard village. The site is set in the grounds of the 18th-century Greenway House, a Grade II listed building. There are 20 tent pitches, 15 of which have 16 amp electric hook up. There are an additional six touring pitches with five of these having the same 16 amp electric hook up. All of the pitches are set on grass and are very spacious. This is a great choice for train enthusiasts looking to ride the Somerset steam railway, or anyone looking to relax amongst the calming countryside setting. You'll even share the space with, ducks, geese and chickens! Dogs are welcome onsite and there are plenty of nearby hikes and trails to take them on, just please keep them on the lead when on site. Dogs listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act are not permitted. Fire pits are not allowed but BBQs are, just make sure to raise them off the ground so that the grass doesn't get damaged.

A note from the site themselves...

In 2013, three generations of our family purchased our Grade II listed home with a vision of creating a camp site and smallholding. After extensive renovations and a lot of hard work, we have created what you see here today. We finally were able to open our camp site in 2018 and hope that our customers enjoy our home as much as we do.
