Glastonbury tor
Camping with friends, plenty of space available
Hard tracks throughout both fields make for easy access

  • Small adults-only site on organic working farm on the Somerset Levels
  • A 10-minute drive from Glastonbury; 15 minutes from Wells
  • Gastro pub and tea rooms just over a mile away
Looking for a peaceful pitstop surrounded by green meadows with views towards the Mendip Hills and Glastonbury Tor? Just as the nearby Avalon Marshes nature reserves welcome resting birds, Garslade Farm is a friendly place to relax and take it easy for a bit. In the winter, these fields are home to an organic sheep business run by Mike and Bridget, whose family have looked after this land since 1830. When summer comes, the lambs make way for the caravan park and campsite – with hard tracks throughout to give the humans easy access. You could spend your whole break soaking up the serenity of these surroundings, but if you want to do a few days trips, a wander around the cathedral city of Wells would be a suitably civilised way to start. Take the short but strenuous hike up Glastonbury Tor to spot all the sights in this unique landscape, then gawp at Britain’s biggest gorge – and go below into the caverns – at Cheddar Gorge. Practicalities on site are covered with toilets, showers, washing up, recycling and wifi. Barbecues are allowed, but you might decide to let someone else do all the hard work at the award-winning gastro pub in Godney – just over a mile away – or the tea rooms at Double Gate Farm (you’ll need to book ahead before all the chips or scones get gobbled up). Whichever you pick, there should be a good night's sleep to follow, as there's an 11pm noise curfew on site.

Liked: The area was lovely. So peaceful. Definitely in the middle of know where.
Only stayed the 1 night.

Disliked: Toilet and showers were not the best. Seen worse but decided not to use the showers.
There was a fridge freezer which I assumed was for use by the campers but again not clean. Certainly wouldn't use it.
Very disappointed as it was a lovely area.
Bit of work and cleaning and it could be a lovely place to stay.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked: Facilities were clean, there was plenty of space between pitches and we got a very friendly welcome when we arrived. The WiFi reached our tent most of the time despite it being at the far end of the site. No children!

Disliked: The shower had very little temperature control so was very hot

Liked: Pitches were ok with nice views.

Disliked: When we arrived we were greeted by the site owner who showed us where we could pitch. I asked the lady where the showers were. She said “They are over there…. But you’re only here for 1 night!”
I found this very rude. This lady didn’t know if there was a medical condition that meant we needed access to regular cleaning facilities.
We parked up and went to look at the toilet and showers. There is 1 shower in the men’s toilet and 1 in the ladies toilet. Both showers are dirty and have old shower curtains in there. Quite frankly I wouldn’t wash a dog in there! The toilet was just as bad with an old towel in there that looked like it hadn’t been washed for a long time! There was a seating area that looked like it had recently had animals in it!
The site was so bad we made the decision to not stay there overnight!

Local attractions

The Somerset Levels and Moors make up one of the largest lowland wetlands in Britain and a visit to the Avalon Marshes Centre and RSPB nature reserves will introduce you to their history and ecology. Time your visit right and you may witness the incredible starling murmurations. If you love shopping you really need to experience the unique mix of retailers in Glastonbury, a town long linked with the mythical and mystical. For a more mainstream selection try Clark’s Village factory shopping outlet. Meanwhile, Cheddar’s the place to shop for cheese (and cider). A classic seaside day out can be had at Weston-super-Mare – sandcastles, fish and chips, donkey rides on the beach, entertainments on the pier, it’s all here. Or if you’d like a different view of the coast, head to Brean Down, a 300ft-high headland that sticks out a mile and a half into the Bristol Channel with a ruined Napoleonic fort at the end.
