  • Friendly pop-up site in a field behind a Somerset pub
  • Frome 10 minutes' drive; half an hour from Bath city centre
  • Breakfasts available at the pub
Buckland Field Camping is a small and friendly pop-up site based in a paddock to the rear of a Somerset village pub. Set just behind The Bell Inn in Buckland Dinham, this spot is simple but comfortable, with good amenities including well-maintained toilets, warm showers and a washing-up area. This is a spot where it's very easy to leave the car behind. There are plenty of bike trails and footpaths in the local Somerset countryside, some of which start pretty much directly at the site gates, or you can catch the D2 bus from just outside the pub to destinations like Bath and Frome. Other Somerset spots like Cheddar and the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are within easy driving distance too. Other perks of staying here include the on-site pub, where you can get a hot breakfast. If you'd rather self-cater, portable gas stoves are permitted if guests exercise caution. Well-behaved dogs are welcome throughout the camping season at Buckland Field Camping.

What customers say

A decent, well-kept spot in the countryside, next to a pub with great grub. Reviewers liked the big, flat pitches, clean ablutions (good shower!), and great value. Good for short trips, though loos can be tight when busy, and the shower has a set price/temp. Larger rigs might struggle with access.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked This is a lovely little site. Facilities are basic, but the attraction is that it sits behind the Bell Inn where you can get good pub grub and company.

Everything was well maintained and very clean. The staff (it’s a family owned pub) were all extremely friendly and helpful.

Of note, this is just a short distance from the Collier’s Way bike path that runs between Bath and Frome. That’s how I got there and it made for a lovely journey.

Disliked The cow that decided 4am was a good time to start an extended moo-ing session! But then this is the countryside.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Decent site for a stop over which doesn’t break the bank.

Liked Lovely location, loved the cows and it was a nice quiet site.

Disliked Couldn’t see any kind of sign post of poster to say where the toilet facilities were, we had to ask another camper on the site to show us.
