Campsites for hikers near Watchet

·

In Watchet, hiking takes centre stage, and you’ll find over 900 campsites that put you right on the doorstep of trails—through ancient woodlands, up windswept ridges, and across Somerset fields. Expect pitches from as low as £9 a night, with the average closer to £60. Campsites here tend to keep things practical: showers, toilets, and campfires are the norm, so you can end a long walk with a hot rinse and a crackling fire. For a tried-and-tested spot, South Dean Camping (169 reviews) comes up again and again among campers for its peaceful setting. Brig's Farm (66 reviews) and Wookey Farm (64 reviews) are also local favourites, especially if you fancy a dip or a spot of fishing after your walk. Horseback-riding is easy to arrange, and most sites won’t flinch if you arrive muddy and tired from the hills.

Off the beaten track on top of the Mendips in an area of outstanding natural beauty. A mixture of four acres of wild woodland, orchard and field set on a hillside. Our Yurt is set up in the trees giving you peaceful seclusion and a clear view across the sea to Wales and the mountains of the Brecon Beacons. The Yurt is big and sleeps up to four very comfortably. It has its own stove and outside is a washroom just for you with hot shower , toilet and sinks. Your own meadow allows you to just relax and be. Up on the campfield you can bring your own tent or hire a Belle tent from us with all the fittings to camp contentedly. Our new Wash House has hot showers, flushing toilets and basins. You can light a fire and cook up a BBQ or maybe just watch the world go by. A huge range of activities are possible or you can lie in the hammock with a good book. We have very friendly dogs and rescue chickens who may come and visit. Wild deer wander past in the early morning mist and the odd buzzard picks an argument with a bunch of crows but nothing much else should disturb you. We moved here after an 18 month search 8 years ago. It was close to everything we wanted and we've spent some time getting a bit closer.
