Secluded wild camping on a working farm near Crewkerne, Somerset
South Somerset Cycleway 15 minutes' drive; Jurassic Coast 40 minutes
Sole occupancy of a woodland glade; firepit, barbecue and shack toilet

So you want to get away from it all for a few days? Here’s your chance. The wild-camping pitch at Manor Farm is hidden away in a peaceful woodland glade near Crewkerne in rural Somerset. No fellow campers, no-one to disturb you. Just the chance to wake up to the singing of birds and the sound of the burbling of the stream nearby, perhaps accompanied by mooing cows in surrounding fields. Accessing the site is easy: there’s dedicated car parking space and a short walk onto the pitch. Once there all is pretty basic: simple facilities stretch to a toilet shack (no shower and no electricity, please note) and a mains water tap. There’s a cleared, chipped space for pitching a tent, plus a massive firepit and barbecue area, so you can boil kettles on the open fire and grill up supper. If you need extra supplies, just follow the footpaths from the farm to the sleepy, mellow-stone village of Merriott (five minutes’ walk) and pick up essentials from the handy store. For a change of scenery, you can stop off at the lively café in a converted chapel or head straight for the local pub.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch

Liked: This was an exceptional experience. We chose the site because it was a single and exclusive pitch. We found more than we hoped for. Nigel and Yvonne went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Nigel introduced us to ax-throwing and took our two children under his wing and gave them a taste of farm life. They collected eggs and fed the hens among other things. The site itself is very secluded, wooded, with a large pitch alongside a burbling stream. The toilet was very clean. There was a tap for fresh, clean water on site. We didn’t luck out on the weather but the the site and the family made up for this. Loads. Manor Farm shop is a 15 min walk through lovely meadows and sells produce from the farm. The apple juice and eggs were excellent.

Disliked: Nothing.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your fantastic review.
We really enjoyed hosting you here with us and are so pleased you had a great, memorable time despite the weather! Your whole family embraced the outdoor life and Nigel thoroughly enjoyed showing you all there is to offer from it!!
We hope to see you here in the future and wish you all the best .
Thanks again Xx

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch

Liked: You really do have the whole woodland to yourself so great if you don’t want to be disturbed by other campers. Having a working toilet and fresh water tap is useful.
The large fire pit is fantastic for cooking and the focal point especially in the evenings. An under cover area next to the fire to keep things dry if it rains is very handy. There’s even a hammock to use if you want to chill out for a bit and just take in your surroundings. The owners are very friendly and helpful, there if you need them but happy to leave you alone.

Disliked: None.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch

Liked: Seclusion. Lovely woodland. Good toilet and fire pit. Peaceful and quiet. Owners helpful and friendly. Lots of logs for fire and sheltered area to sit if raining. Lots of space for our collie to run around. Shower bag also great to hang from tree. Really lovely camp.

Disliked: Nothing really aside from public footpaths not clear. Not a problem for us as our collie enjoyed the run around.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch

Liked: Lovely secluded woodland site set up perfectly for wild camping with a grassy clearing or wood chipped terrace to set up tents with the added benefit of fresh water and a flushing toilet. Friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts. Ideal for staying put and enjoying the sounds of nature or local walks on public footpaths in the surrounding countryside. For anyone who enjoys a camp fire and cooking over wood, the large fire pit area and covered shelter is perfect. Also, it is well situated to make day visits to the plentiful attractions in Somerset and Dorset, many listed on the hosts' guide leaflet that you are given on arrival. Overall, spot on for those looking for a wild camping style experience with some amenities.

Disliked: Nothing - hope to return in future for a longer stay.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch

Liked: Amazing, quiet secluded campsite! The site was amazing, you have your own little slice of the woods, perfect for a quiet getaway, our dog absolutely running around and chewing all the sticks. The hosts were absolutely perfect, super friendly and helpful and genuinely made the trip for us. I cannot recommend this site more!

Local attractions

Use Manor Farm as a base for walking stretches of the River Parrett Trail, or stop off at Ham Hill Country Park (both 10 minutes) and have a potter around its sprawling Iron Age hill fort. Cycle trails cross southern Somerset’s Mendip and Blackdown hills, and the challenges of the South Somerset Cycleway (15 minutes) are easily accessed too. Sea air a number-one priority? Head to Lyme Regis Fossil Beach (40 minutes) or Charmouth (35 minutes) on the Jurassic Coast to go hunting for ammonites, or choose Seaton (45 minutes) for its long shingle expanse, promenade walks and traditional seaside attractions like fish and chip shops or ice-cream kiosks. There are plenty of stately homes to poke around too; the lovingly restored Tudor-era National Trust-owned Barrington Court (15 minutes) also has lovely grounds with walled gardens and orchard walks. Lytes Cary Manor is another National Trust property, this one with paths leading through exotic topiary hedges and lavender gardens. Anyone with a love of military history can tour the Fleet Air Arm Museum (both 20 minutes) with its huge collection of aircraft.
