Six great campsites in Somerset to visit in your caravan or motorhome

From windswept coastlines and rolling Quantock hills to peaceful lakeside retreats, Somerset is packed with brilliant places to pitch up your caravan or motorhome.

Whether you're planning family adventures, countryside walks or a relaxing adults-only escape, the county offers campsites to suit every style of getaway - and here are six standout campsites to visit:

Hoburne Blue Anchor

Hoburne Blue Anchor is nestled right on the Somerset coast between the Quantock Hills and colourful Exmoor National Park, giving you sea views and beach walks to enjoy straight from your front door.

Tourers at this intimate holiday park can choose from hard-standing or grass pitches, all complete with 10-amp electric hook-up, fresh water, waste disposal facilities and access to shower blocks, indoor swimming pool and children’s play area.

Visit a local cider press for a behind the scenes look at Somerset's most famous export, or travel back in time on the West Somerset Railway and enjoy the sights and sounds of the steam age as you chug through the beautiful Quantock hills.

Warren Farm Holiday Centre

You'll receive a warm welcome when you arrive at the award-winning Warren Farm, this family-run park is ideally situated just a stone's throw away from Brean's famous five-mile stretch of sandy coastline, with private footpaths leading onto the beach.

Touring caravans, motorhomes and campervans are all welcome, with grass, hardstanding and en-suite super pitches, that all include electric hook-up and access to washrooms, launderette, EV charging points, Wi-Fi and dog exercise areas.

Brean is a fantastic destination for a fun-filled family break, with its traditional seaside setting, Brean Theme Park, Unity Splash Waterpark and Animal Farm Adventure Park. With so much to do, packed into such a small area, Brean makes it easy to switch between beach days, rides, water slides, and animal adventures without ever travelling more than a mile or so.

Westhill Farm Caravan Park

Nestled in the Somerset countryside and bordered by the River Brue, Westhill Farm offers a peaceful and well-equipped base for touring caravans and motorhomes, with electric hook-up, water supply, and chemical disposal facilities provided for a comfortable stay.

The surrounding villages are home to a variety of welcoming pubs and traditional inns, serving excellent food and drink in relaxed, rural settings.

A short drive away, Glastonbury is famous worldwide for its iconic festival, as well as its rich legends and unique atmosphere. The nearby town of Street offers excellent retail opportunities at Clarks Village, perfect for a day of outlet shopping. For a more relaxed shopping experience, Taunton provides a pleasant town centre to explore at leisure, while Bristol and Cribbs Causeway are also within easy reach, just around 40 minutes away via the motorway.

Tip: Popular areas near Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury Tor, and the coast can fill up quickly during school holidays and festival season, so try to book your campsite spot early.
