  • 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.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Welcomed on arrival and had the option of a few pitches. A very quiet and peaceful site, no noise, you’re surrounded by nature. The facilities are in farm buildings, which was fine for us and we found them clean and worked well. We had a lovely stay and would return.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Nice quiet site, a working farm, lovely warm welcome from owner Bridget. Adequate and clean toilet and shower facilities, although a little tired (shower temperature variable due to the sporadic water supply which the owner explained can be affected when the cows drink from the troughs!) Fridge and freezer available in outhouse. You pitch where you like, although we found it was getting a bit crowded when we were there as there was no delineation of pitches. Ideally located for Wells and Glastonbury.

Disliked Not much space between pitches! Pitches a little sloped so watch that your camp-bed doesn’t face downhill or uphill 😬

Andy & Dee S.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Very peaceful site, near to all tourist attractions if that is your thing.
Being on the Levels there are all kinds of wild flora and fauna to be found.
The site amenities are rustic and kept clean, with hot showers and hot washing up facilities.
You are given a choice of pitches when you arrive.

Disliked Not a criticism, but take some leveling blocks for some of the pitches.
We chose to pitch on a slope and forgot to bring blocks.
We very kindly used some old firebricks, from the site.

Brilliant site, good facilities, peace and quiet. Will come again

Dagmar L.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Owners very friendly. Campsite peaceful and beautifully done. Facilities surprisingly good for a temporary site, including a fridge freezer for use of campers. Lovely to see dogs welcome
Loved the line of trees that sounded like a babbling brook in the wind (apparently planted by Bridget 20 years ago). Can't wait to go back

Disliked Outside of owners control: the access road from Glastonbury is an experience my car wasn't fond of, wouldn't want to navigate it in the dark

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.
