  • 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

Wookey Farm: a tranquil, eco-friendly escape with ample, private sites & nature immersion. Guests loved the scenery, nearby attractions, and farm animal encounters. While compost toilets & recycling are appreciated, some found them tricky. Most enjoyed the calm, though a few noted minor noise & bin issues the owners are fixing.

Disliked Had to pay for electric on an electric pitch

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi,
Sorry if it wasn't clear on the website. You weren't charged for electric before hand. The pitch type is 'electric optional grass pitch' so people who don't want electric aren't being charged in advance, but people who do want it, pay on the meter.

Highly recommend.

Liked Beautiful site, plot 15 was perfect. I go camping regular and always like to try new places. I have never returned to a campsite. BUT to Wookey farm I will definitely return.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you - look forward to seeing you again.

Great site, as long as can have a glass pitch. Pub down the road.

Primitive grass tent campsite (small)

Liked Nice and quiet, very Clean and site was checked, and ship sharp.

Disliked Didn't like pitch I was allocated, due being very muddy and no glass, surrounded by trees, some people may like that sort of camping, it did rain next day, it would be fun packing up. I asked for another pitch with glass, and with no problem moved me to one with glass and a table, happy days.

From the manager: Hi - I'm so sorry you didn't realise where the toilets were. And my 'out of order' sign for that toilet kept blowing off.
I'll be glad when the house is built too :)

We did four small camping stays…

Maya v.

Primitive grass tent campsite (small)

Liked We did four small camping stays over the six weeks holidays and Wookey Farm was BY FAR our favourite. My son is still telling me about how he wanted to stay there forever!
We played in the river, visited the animals several times a day and had several campfires. It was a truly wonderful weekend, even despite the rain.

We will 100% visit again!

Meadow primitive grass campsite

Liked Very spacious with lovely views, short walk to a lovely pub with great food

Disliked Bins were overflowing

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi - thanks for your feedback. The gas may have run out - we had a problem with a tap that wouldn't turn off properly so ended up going through the gas really quickly. Its been replaced now. Sorry for the bins - We had some really busy weeks in August with the lovely weather but will try to keep a better check on them next season.

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.
