Family camping in Somerset

Whether it’s camping or glamping you go for, the wealth of family-friendly activities in Somerset makes it a great place to take the kids on holiday. The chance to paddle in the sea, build sandcastles on the beach, visit farms, and discover the underground world at Wookey Hole are all great experiences for kids. Throw camping into the mix, and it’ll be holiday heaven. Children love the freedom of camping with the chance to run around outdoors, make new friends, and toast marshmallows on the campfire. And all that fresh air can make them pretty sleepy—which may make for relaxing, adults-only evenings and a great night’s sleep all round…if you’re lucky.

Somerset’s family-friendly campsites offer all this and more. If your children love animals, you might like to choose a site on a working farm or a smallholding where the chance to see or even feed the animals will be an added treat. At some woodland campsites, den-building is encouraged, while meadow campsites may be perfect for a kick-about.
