  • Rural Somerset site crossed by a stream a five-minute drive from Frome
  • Longleat 10 minutes’ drive; Wookey Hole Caves 35 minutes
  • Play area with miniature adventure course; dog-friendly walks nearby
A gorgeously rural corner of Somerset is the setting for Seven Acres Camping Site, which stretches over (you guessed it…) seven acres on the edge of the Longleat Estate, a five-minute drive from the town of Frome. A stream runs through the site, which is just off the B3092; this makes it easy to access, but it also means you may hear some traffic noise. A railway line runs parallel to the road, too… but you might find that the jolly whistling of a passing train rather adds to the romance of camping. It’s all about perspective, isn’t it? Regardless, forget the possible noises and accentuate the positive, starting with oodles of space and a play area with play equipment and a miniature adventure course where the kids can climb, slide and swing to their hearts’ content (while you keep an eye on proceedings from the nearby shaded bench). There are no cars permitted in the camping field, keeping the atmosphere peaceful; after you park up, you'll need to unload and walk to your pitch. This is a self-check-in site, so settle in at your own pace. While you may not see them, the team is on-site daily to make sure everything is running smoothly. Your canine companion is not left behind either, with plenty of dog-friendly walks in the surrounding area. Have a go at the circular Mells Walk (10 minutes’ drive), following the course of the Mells River; or head to Clanger Wood (20 minutes’ drive), known for its bluebell meadows and colourful butterflies. Cranborne Chase National Landscape (35 minutes) has trails leading through its distinctive landscape of chalk river valleys and escarpments; this area is also an International Dark Skies Reserve, so be sure you have all you need to stay until after sundown for some spectacular stargazing.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Quiet site with good facilities, and great for stargazing.

In a great location, close to Longleat with Frome and Warminster both easily accessible to get any essentials that may be needed during the stay (Frome has at least 2 supermarkets and a retail park with other shops such as The Range, Warminster has at least one supermarket and a lovely garden shop which sells firewood).

The climbing frame was very much enjoyed by my daughter, as was the stream (she decided to sit in it on the first evening, getting herself soaked 🤣). The gate to enter the site was different but made it very private, the camping field being car free was great.

The quiet times were followed so it was nice not being woken at first light by someone outside excited and wanting to play, and getting the kids settled was fairly easy too 🥰.

Disliked Never saw the site owners, if I did they never introduced themselves to me. Although we had our own trolley to transport stuff, some of the carts provided by the site have seen better days, practically fell apart when we did use them.

Liked TO ALL MY FELLOW VETERANS
if you need to get away and find a some PEACE…this is the place to go!
the site was perfect for me…so I would highly recommend Severn acres as the site to pitch your tent and CHILL.. get back to nature were we thrive…the short stay there (3 nights was absolute value for money and you can build a fire look at the stars (no light pollution)there’s a big Sainsbury’s 2clicks away for supplies..form a battle plan and get yourself down there lads and ladies…AS YOU WERE 😎😎😎

Siobhan H.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked The campsite was great: lovely big pitch, hard standing with a grassy area in a beautiful, wooded setting. Small stream nearby and overall relatively quiet and peaceful; despite there being a road nearby. Close enough to explore Frome which is a short drive away.

Disliked There were only shower cubicles, no changing area; i.e no privacy unless you can get into the 1 unisex shower/toilet combo. No shelves to put your clothes/toiletries on. Only 2 sink washbasins in the ladies and people were washing their clothes in them and therefore using both sinks at the same time. There were women going to the entrance to the men's toilets where their washbasins are outside; and doing their washing-up there. In the men's toilets, only 1 urinal and 1 cubical. The toilet block is really inadequate for the whole campsite: including campervans and for the tent camping field. The showers are just flooding the floors as the curtains are hung too high - an easy fix. I appreciate that the site is under new ownership and its a work in progress and we wish you well with your project. We'd like to return next year to see how it is all going as it is a lovely site, only marred by the lack of toilet facilities.

Local attractions

Budding zoologists might enjoy a day at Longleat (10 minutes’ drive), where you can drive through vast enclosures housing big cats, wolves and rhinos; get hopelessly lost in Britain’s largest hedge maze; and take a tour of the 16th-century stately home, with its splendid artworks and tapestries. Wookey Hole Caves (35 minutes), on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills National Landscape, features a subterranean network of limestone caverns and passages with evocative names like Witch’s Kitchen. After having a go at the caving experience, check out the lifesize creatures at Dinosaur Valley or unwind on the miniature golf course. Treat yourself to a visit to Bath (35 minutes). The Roman bath complex in the centre of town includes a sacred spring and a museum displaying ancient artefacts. Follow that with afternoon tea at the Regency Tea Room at the Jane Austen Centre, where you can pretend to be Emma or Mr Darcy.
