  • Marked-out pitches or pick your own: site bordered by the River Axe
  • Wookey Hole 2.5 miles; Wells 3.5 miles
  • Farm animals, rope swings and on-site farm shop; pub/café half a mile
What a bewitching place. And most especially for kids: Wookey Farm, a couple of miles from the famed Wookey Hole Caves (and their famed witch), is a tiptop option for small sorts and their owners, with loads of space to run around and a menagerie of animals to coo over. Older offspring will be sizzling with excitement on hearing that they can stoke flames and get social at the communal campfire area, while bigger folk will probably be content to bring along a firepit and laze idly on the family pitch, taking in the views of the Mendip Hills and towards Hembury and Yarley hills… Off site, it's three and a half miles from the farm to cutely compact Wells, six miles to Glastonbury, and a drive of 45 minutes to the coast at Weston-super-Mare. The site is on a small, family-run goat farm where guests are most welcome to meet the menagerie (sheep, pigs, hens and a donkey live here too) and find out all about running a farm. All pitches are in a level two-and-a-half-acre space with marked pitches or in an overflow meadow bordered by the River Axe: you can opt to be as mixed in or as far away as you like. Splashing, paddling and critter spotting can all be had in the river, as can back and forthing merrily on the rope tyre swing over the water (more swings are around the site if this seems slightly too hair-raising). Wookey Farm is an eco-friendly site, with emphasis on keeping things as natural as possible. Facilities are basic but well kept: four compost toilets and washbasins, cleaned twice a day; a washing-up area with water tap alongside; and plenty of facilities for sorting your rubbish (recycling and food waste contributions are keenly welcomed). For those barbecue supplies, the farm is just down the lane from Wookey village's café, shop and three pubs. There's also an on-site farm shop selling the farm's own goat's cheese, goat's milk and meat, along with alcohol, snacks and gifts.

What customers say

This is a beautiful, peaceful farm campsite offering spacious, level pitches with natural screening and picnic benches. Visitors enjoyed the friendly staff, the presence of farm animals, and the scenic location with a river and opportunities for exploration. While the eco-friendly ethos and facilities are appreciated by many, the lack of showers and the condition of some composting toilets were noted drawbacks for some. The on-site shop is a convenient addition.

Jolene B.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Absolutely loved this site!
We stayed on campsite 1 with electric. The pitches were well spaced out with hedges and trees separating them, giving a little added privacy. Each pitch has it's own recycling and compost bins as well as a fire pit.
In the middle of all the pitches is a large open space to play which we really appreciated.
The farm is open to visitors and has a little farm shop which can be opened on request. At the bottom is a stream with rope swings which the kids loved.
The site has compost toilets which were kept clean.

Disliked No showers.

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked The site overall, there was a nice amount of room per pitch, great having the lake on site, nice to see farm animals and having the option to buy produce from the farm shop

Disliked Toilets and no showers, we only stayed for one night, I'm not sure how people manage staying longer due to no showers. The toilets were the biggest Issue, I'm all for keeping things natural but this is to far for me, especially having nowhere to dry your hands either. I would however recommend the site but make them aware of the bathroom facilities.

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely spot - easy to find. We really enjoyed seeing the farm animals and playing in the river. We stayed in the super spacious meadow field which has a real feeling of freedom. Ideal for playing ball games etc too. The shop was great, and staff friendly. Appreciated the hot water supply for washing up. A clean, tidy and well run site.

Disliked The compost toilets were clean and spacious, but not what I expected - just a hole beneath the bowl with no sawdust. Consequently the smell was overwhelming.

Disliked Pitch full of holes and rabbit poop. No showers. Compost toilets furthest down on site 2 really stank… not great washing up area there either.

From the manager: Hi - thanks for the feedback. We'll do our best to improve although we don't have plans for showers in the near future. Sorry if you hadn't seen that in advance - we do try and make it clear on the website that there are no showers.

Excellent campsite in a beautiful area. Would definitely stay again…

Local attractions

The farm is within easy reach of many top spots as well as Wookey Hole Caves, Glastonbury, Wells and Weston-super-Mare: spectacular Cheddar Gorge is 20 minutes' drive away, Longleat and Bath within 50, and Bristol just under an hour. Quieter times await around the region's walks, such as along the 30 miles of the West Mendip Way running from Wells via Wookey to the sea at Uphill, or the Strawberry Line (also 30 miles), a traffic-free route across Somerset from Shepton Mallet to Clevedon. Closer to home, amble along the River Axe flowing through the farm. Till ringers and fashion fans should take their wallets to Clarks Village, 20 minutes away, for outlet shopping and the Shoe Museum.
