A very warm welcome to our guests at Little Eden, a restful and relaxing, riverside campsite for tents and campervans with grass pitches. We’re in a great spot if you love fishing, kayaking, gorge walking, cycling, seasides, fossil hunting, wild swimming, fell running, bird watching, archaeology or even Viking history!
We are 9 miles from the mystical Glastonbury Abbey and Tor and directly on a Sustrans 33 cycle path route. The River Brue runs alongside the campsite with damsel flies fluttering by and kingfishers darting back and forth. We are on the Somerset levels so the sunsets are amazing as well as night time stargazing. We have a private, wooden jetty where you can launch your own paddle board. It’s a perfect get away for campers and nature lovers. Bring your own raised BBQs and logs or buy firewood on site. A family run campsite around 30 miles south of Bristol on the banks of the River Brue, it has a relaxed vibe and we try to keep things simple and straight forward. It’s ideal for doing some day trips nearby, then lighting the BBQ and playing Frisbee (games box you are most welcome to use). Shower and toilet, drinking water, washing-up sink in garden kitchenette.
Our big sister site is just 4 miles away, and the café bar at 'Wall Eden Farm' serves fantastic coffee, cake, and family-made Somerset cider. If looking for classic countryside pub meal The Duck at Burtle and The Bird at Westhay are local favourites, be sure to book! Burnham on Sea close by has great fish and chips, a sandy beach, a pier and promenade if you like salty fingers and sandy toes.
*DIRECTIONS* Little Eden Adventures is on Goole Maps
Postcode takes you within 200 meters of campsite, look for white house with flagpole on stone bridge over river. What3words master.musical.titles.
Our grandmother and her 5 sisters grew up milking cattle on the land. It’s steeped in history and archaeology. Bring your fishing rod as there are bream and roach in the River Brue. The site is a dream for cyclists.
Electric vehicle charging at Wall Eden Farm with a Farmshop stocked with essential supplies, Moonshine and sweet treats. Sorry no pets as livestock in neighbouring fields.

Trowbridge, England · 51 units · Tents, Motorhomes, Glamping
We are a family run farm situated in the beautiful Frome valley. The farm has a range of interests from the traditional Jersey milking cows to a community of workshops used by local craftsmen. The cafe serves cream teas from Easter to the end of September and pizzas are sold in evenings during the summer months.
Ours is a small family run camp site with the River Frome on one side, next to the medieval buildings of Stowford Farm. The river is suitable for fishing, boating, swimming and paddling. Historic Bradford-on-Avon is only a 5 minute drive and the City of Bath 15 minutes. For those who enjoy more rural pleasures, 200 metres from the campsite Farleigh Hungerford boasts the only river swimming club in the country, and you can become an instant member for a very small fee.

Beautiful site right on the river. Well spaced pitches and a wonderfully hot shower! Left to do as you please, clean facilities and easy to access. We had a fantastic time kayaking down the river and appreciated the toiletries available in the bathrooms. Would 100% stay again and very sad to have left!

Bridgewood is such a special place to visit for camping. It strikes the perfect balance between wild camping and being close enough to people to feel safe. Such a wonderful experience and easy to locate! Sarah and Paul were so helpful and accommodating, and gave me such a welcoming tour around the grounds when I arrived.
I'll definitely be planning another visit back there soon.
Thanks so much for having me!

My partner and I have a crazy 2026 Resolution to camp at least one night per month all year. We work in Bristol, and booked Oxwick due to its easy access location from us as we were leaving after work on a Friday.
We arrived to Oxwick Farm in the evening sunshine and were in awe! The grounds are gorgeous, and driving past the old 1702 Georgian main house was quite breathtaking.
Catherine was so quick and friendly to respond to my messages, and we were welcomed by Nigel on arrival who gave us a quick tour, and invited us to poke around. The venue is really fun - it is also used for festivals (Inglefest - which we will be looking into) and also is equipped for weddings (which would be gorgeous). Bohemian, relaxed country vibes. Very pretty! They have glamping pods on sight which are so cute inside, and they have an outdoor ‘kitchen/barn’ which is fully equipped for making a full dinner (put our jetboil to shame, although I am not complaining because there is nothing quite like having a kettle for coffee in the morning 20m from your tent, I must say.
We actually ended up with the whole place to ourselves, and spent a lovely evening watching the sunset, and calm morning reading. What a way to tick off our May camp!
Thank you Nigel & Catherine for sharing with us. Definitely visit if you get the chance!

Had a lovely stay over may bank holiday. A warm welcome from the owners and staff, nice areas to pitch right next to the river. We also enjoyed cream teas in the garden and bought the bbq pack and breakfast pack which were delicious. Lovely ducks and chicken and a lovely walk along the river. Nice cider too . Clean and tidy toilets and shower blocks with plenty of hot water. Overall a lovely place to visit and will definitely book again soon.

We were very happy with our stay here. We were greeted warmly and given a tour before being left in peace for the stay. There was everything we needed and an honesty box for the horsebox of essentials they had kindly thought of. We particularly appreciated the trollies made available to take our stuff from the car to the plot. Admittedly we felt we had the best spot and overall we loved it and would definitely recommend.

Wookey Farm was an absolute delight! We visited on a sunny April day and it was so peaceful, with the sounds of birds and farm animals all around us. The land is beautifully maintained and everything was very clean. Such a relaxing escape, would highly recommend! And the goats were incredibly friendly, which made it even more special 🐐💛

Just returned from an outstanding stay at Wookey Farm campsite. The grass pitch we booked could not of been better spacious, level, incredible views, its own fire pit area tucked away but adjoining the pitch. Loos were great best kept composting toilets if seen. Quiet yet relaxed site decent farm shop and great walks. We will be back need to try out the communal wood fired oven next time 👍

When to go
Summer (June through August) is the best time to get on the water, and events and festivals are often held along the riverfronts in Bath and Bristol. Boat tours and cruises typically run from mid-March to mid-October, although winter visits are still possible for private groups. Many campsites stay open year-round, but be sure to check for seasonal closures.
Know before you go
- The River Avon (or Bristol Avon) rises in South Gloucestershire and flows through Wiltshire, Bath, and Bristol, before connecting to the Kennet and Avon Canal and the Kennet Navigation.
- Sightseeing cruises or multi-day boat cruises along the River Avon are possible from Bath and Bristol.
- Most campsites in South West England require advance booking, and you may need to pay the full amount before arrival.
