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.

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.

We absolutely love this site. Richard the host is friendly and welcoming, you can tell he’s proud of his site.
The eco toilets are great and very well maintained. 👍🏻 Water on tap and a hot shower as well. These are exactly what you need for offgrid camping.
You’re surrounded by nature. Falling asleep to the owls waking up to the cuckoo. Perfect. 😍
We even had the pleasure of the cow choir in the next field mooing away. Was great. ☺️
There is also a course fishing lake which you can use for a very reasonable daily fee. Hubby hasn’t fished yet but we had a wander and it is stunning very clean and well maintained lake.
Would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a lovely stay at Sweet Hill. The directions to get to the campsite were easy to follow and the views when we arrived were fab! There was plenty of space and even on a windy night a good amount of protection so we didn’t get blown away.
We will definitely be returning!

What a lovely campsite, just how they used to be. Felt very safe bring a solo camper. Everyone friendly and campsite warden popped round frequently to check in on campers. Lovely walks across the road and a easy walk into stockbridge. Toliets and showers clean and worked well.

As a seasoned camper I was very surprised to find this little gem of a site! A lovely clean friendly site with toilets/hot showers and washing up facilities which were all clean and well maintained. The play area was a hit with the children, and that was also well maintained and fully accessible for children of all ages. The owner David could not have been more friendly and welcoming and the site warden Mark was also pleasant and approachable. We will definitely be returning in the not to distant future. many Thanks David.

We had a fantastic stay at Stockbridge View Campsite and can’t recommend it enough. From the moment we arrived, David made us feel incredibly welcome—he was so friendly and genuinely cared about our experience, regularly checking in to make sure everything was okay.
The facilities were excellent; the showers and toilets were always clean, tidy, and well maintained, which made a big difference to our stay. The park was an absolute highlight for the children—they had so much fun and didn’t want to leave!
Overall, it was a brilliant trip with a lovely atmosphere and great attention to detail. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Lovely clean dog friendly campsite, well maintained with a small play area, clean facilities with hot water and away from the city lights, perfect for stargazing on a clear night around a campfire. Mark and David were friendly and helpful, checking in on us on arrival/departure and when we had a storm heading our way.

Lovely location next to the River Brue. Fantastic facilities, including hot showers for no additional charge and a kitchen where you can make brew. I went at the very start of the season and had it all to myself which, given how burned out I was from work, was fantastic. I will return later in the year when the weather is better, and will use the site as a base to visit all the archaeological sites and monuments the area has to offer.

Notable campgrounds
- Best for a 5-star camping experience: Wareham Forest Tourist Park has grass pitching for tents and powered hard-standing sites for caravans and motorhomes. There’s also a heated swimming pool and children’s playground on-site and a country pub within walking distance.
- Best for caravans and motorhomes: Birchwood Touring Park has a choice of grass, hard-standing, and gravel pitches, all with direct access to the forest trails. Electric hook-ups and TV aerials are available too.
- Best for peace and quiet: Wooders Campsite has spacious grass pitches, bell tents for hire, and fire-pits, set on a rural working farm.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Holiday parks and caravan sites can book up quickly, especially in July and August, and during school holidays. Book at least three months in advance if you plan to visit at this time.
- You will need to pay a deposit to secure your campsite reservation; some sites ask for the full payment prior to arrival.
- Be sure to check seasonal opening and closing dates, which vary by campsite. Some campsites open from Easter through October, while others stay open year-round.
When to go
Summer is peak season in Wareham Forest, and parking can fill up quickly—make an early start to snag a spot. Outdoor activities are possible year-round, but the woodlands are particularly photogenic in the autumn months, with their ever-changing canopy of fall foliage. Wildlife watching is often most rewarding in the early morning and early evening.
Know before you go
- Wareham Forest is located in central Dorset, about a 20-minute drive west of Poole. Trains run from Poole to Wareham (a 10-minute journey), from where it’s a half-mile walk to the forest.
- There is free parking at Sika Trail, Woolsbarrow, Stroud Bridge, and Sugar Hill, all with direct access to Wareham Forest.
- Many trails at Wareham Forest are accessible for wheelchairs and strollers.
