  • Peaceful dog-friendly site in the scenic Somerset Levels
  • A five-minute drive from Martock and 20 minutes from Yeovil
  • Buy fishing licences and locally brewed cider on site
In need of a few days (or weeks) basking in peaceful countryside, within leisurely reach of lengthy scenic wanders? Head along to Southfork Caravan Park, a family-friendly and dog-friendly site less than five minutes’ drive from the large Somerset village of Martock – it’ll tick all the right boxes. The site’s in the pretty Somerset Levels and there are plenty of walking options close to hand, starting with the 50-mile long Parrett Trail along the River Parrett, which active guests might be drawn to join less than a minute’s easy stroll from the site, and which joins up with the West Somerset Coast Path at Bridgwater Bay. Not much of a rambler? Try angling for a different pursuit with a day’s fishing on the river’s banks: fishing licences are available to buy from reception, there are rods to hire if dragging kit and caboodle from home isn’t possible, and coarse fisheries within 20 minutes give plenty of avenues for landing carp, bream, tench, roach and chub. When talk of fish sets mouths watering, this is the right place to be: the Somerset Levels are well known for top-notch food, beer and cider, so there are plenty of tasty options hereabouts, and barbecues are welcome on site when something home-cooked appeals. Wash eats down with a bottle (or two) of genuine Somerset cider, available on site from the small shop…

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: A friendly welcome, well-kept grounds, very quiet location, secure area to let the dog off the lead, day time cafe if you need one. Shower room, washing up area, laundry all available. A river to fish in close by but you need a licence and day pass. Hard standing was level with electric point and water on the pitch.

Disliked: Shower room needs a bit of an update, hard to keep clothes dry. It might be too peaceful for some people as there's nothing closeby within walking distance.

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Nice and quiet campsite located just outside Martock village. Small campsite, very quiet due to being the Christmas period. Site manager friendly and helpful on arrival to pitch.
Has laundry facilities if needed
Great places to walk nearby and some lovely cafes too.

Disliked: We booked a fully serviced pitch (geo-blocked). Grass very muddy and pitch not private - close to neighbours (too close). Due to weather (freezing temperatures overnight), water was switched off overnight and could not access any water until 10:30am which isn’t ideal when you have a fully serviced pitch.
Toilets not cleaned on a regular basis, lack of toilet paper and dirty floors.
Lots of pot holes on the camp site and lack of light at night. Take bright torch.
No WIFI - lack of signal in places

A nice site that I would visit again for longer next time

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Ease of check-in despite being borderline late. Good sized pitch with hedge on one side for privacy.

Disliked: I'm 6'5" and the showers barely came up to my bellow button! I'm obviously being a tad melodramatic but I've never had to deal with showers that were fixed so low. They were however hot and free so I can't complain too much.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Level pitch, small site so all pitches are not too far from the facilities, enclosed dog area (although very small).
Would try another site in the area if we went back, but wouldn't rule out going back there again.

Disliked: No men's shower, on website bistro said it was open Friday evenings, but that is no longer the case, toilets a bit dated.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I'm thankful you took the time to rate our site, it helps us improve every year and we love to see how we can make everyone's stay here better, but for future refence the men's showers are located in the same building as the men's toilets, they are next to each other. 4 cubicles side by side, 2 are toilets and 2 are showers. Regarding opening hours of cafe and restaurant they are seasonal based. I hope you can appreciate that during non peak months we adjust our hours to help keep cost down for customers.

Kind regards

Camping pod

Liked: Really lovely campsite. We liked our stay at the hut very much, it feels a lot bigger on the inside when you step in. The beds were already made up, it was nice and clean and you have a couple of tables to drop your things off and chairs to relax on. It is located in a secluded part of the camp so it is always quiet and peaceful. It also comes with an outdoor table which which was great for having breakfast outside on a sunny day. There is also a lovely cafe right next to the reception serving really hearty breakfasts.

Local attractions

Somerset is famed for its cider, and stays at Southfork won’t disappoint on that front. The well-placed site is less than 10 minutes’ drive from Somerset Cider Brandy Company, producers of Somerset Cider Brandy and Burrow Hill Cider, and Perry’s Cider Mills and Bridge Farm Cider are open for visitors within 15 minutes. Pretty sweet, no? This isn’t just a top spot for fans of apple bevvies though… Anyone with a yen for wandering among flowers and trees is well served here too: East Lambrook Manor Gardens (home of Margery Fish’s ‘achievable’ cottage garden) are less than five minutes away, Tintinhull House Gardens are within 10 minutes, and Hestercombe is 40 minutes from the site. Prefer nature walks to be more wild and free? Step away from the cultivated lawns and meticulously planned box hedges with jaunts to the East Devon, Dorset and Blackdown Hills Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (all within 35 minutes), or head further afield with a trip to Exmoor National Park a little under an hour away. For traditional holiday days, the beaches of Somerset and Dorset – at Lyme Regis and Burnham-on-Sea – are within about an hour’s drive, and kids can be easily entertained at Longleat Safari Park, Wookey Hole and the West Somerset Railway, all within 45 minutes.
