This was good trip. The campsite is large and open so you can pick any spot you like. There is a place for a campfire in the middle of the field with some seats. There is drinking water on site and the toilets are very decent with toilet paper and soap provided. There is a shop where u can get wood, vegies, cold drinks and other bits (soft drinks only) The staff running the site are very friendly. There is showers on site with hot water and fairly good pressure. There is lots of green fields and a few local attractions. We did the Glastonbury Tor. I recommend doing it in the evening when the sun goes down. Be careful tho, it's quite steep so wear good shoes. On the farm itself you can see rabbits, lamas and goats. If you walk up the hill a bit you might see larga large herd of bulls who turned out to be very friendly (if you feed them some grass, but be careful, it's a bull). We were also lucky to see army planes and helicopters doing a very low fly by above the camping site. Very impressive. Overall we had a good time and it was a cheap little holiday.

Fantastic views over the valley. Clean toilet and showers. It was lovely and quiet and we could fully relax and unwind. A short walk into Shaftesbury where there are plenty of pubs and places to eat. We had a great time and will be back.

Both me and my son absolutely loved our mini getaway, the campsite is such a hidden gem. You can travel by foot in the nearby area if you follow the public footpath as you leave the campsite, plenty of cafes, pubs and shops which is great!
Also fire pits and wood available which is always a bonus, highly recommend this campsite to everyone and will be returning 😊
Jason was super helpful upon arrival too. Thanks for having us!

Lovely, laid back campsite. Basic facilities but everything worked as it should. Nice walk into Glastonbury town. Campfires allowed. Firewood available at £5 a bag. Would recommend if your looking for peace and quiet whilst surrounded by nature.

This place is so peaceful and relaxing. The views as mentioned are tremendous as it is on an elevated position. However, there are plenty of flat places to camp. The meadow grass is mowed and is springy and lovely to camp on and extremely easy to hammer in tent pegs. Pitches are not cramped .Excellent showers and the toilets are kept in a pristine condition. Great dog walks from the site and an easy stroll into Shaftesbury which is very dog friendly. I won’t forget the distant hills of the Blackmore Vale and the sound of church bells. Wonderful. Very tranquil.

Camp site was super easy to find and only a short drive away from a cute little town with shops, bakeries and lots of antique shops which were all lovely to walk around. The site was dog friendly and had no set pitches or pitch size so ideal for larger tents/vans and groups. Toilets and showers were close by and always stocked up on hand soap, toilet roll and paper towels. Overall a lovely site with views out to fields and the surrounding farm land, you can also spot the museum that we took a walk to which was interesting. Our little group consisted of 3 girls in our mid twenties and we felt super secure and comfortable staying here for a weekend. During our stay there were families, couples, friends and a couple of larger groups camping at the same time but other than a few laughs and the smell of good food, you’re not disturbed by each other.

I don’t think the location can be beaten. The meadow is extremely well maintained and mowed so it’s soft and springy. Fab showers and spotless loos. However, it’s the view that does it. From wherever you are pitched there are views of churches, old stone buildings and the beautiful Blackmore Vale … peace and tranquility. Oh and Jason hires out fire pits. I have to mention that it’s also great for dogs with lots of good walking around and it’s a short jaunt to Shaftesbury which is very dog friendly. Eve Dog and I had a fantastic time. Wonderful.

Gorgeous! Beautiful views of the Mendips from field, also from A frame veranda where we sat to read when it got too hot.
Love the use of wood for toilet block and sinks.
The showers are great - nice and warm and in the old cattle shed?! I loved it!

High Land’s was the most relaxing and tranquil site that I ve ever stayed on. The toilets and showers were faultlessly clean. I had time to recharge and catch my thoughts here, something that’s hard to find in a busy world

Beautiful location. An absolute sun trap! We visited during the recent heatwave and regretted not taking our gazebo. Highly recommend taking one if you need respite from the sun. Showers are also delightful and spacious. There is a noisy peacock somewhere in the area, a bit disruptive when trying to sleep, but not hugely.
