Walnut Tree Farm offers a wonderfully peaceful and eco-friendly camping experience on a working organic farm in the Somerset countryside. The site features stunning rural views, spacious fields, and a true sense of tranquility that guests find perfect for switching off. Visitors consistently praise the warm and welcoming host, Mike, who goes above and beyond to ensure everyone has a memorable stay. He personally delivers firewood in a wheelbarrow, offers fresh eggs from his rescue chickens, and even arranges tractor rides for children. The campsite is well laid out with areas for families and a separate adult-only field, giving everyone their ideal level of quiet. Facilities are immaculately maintained, with compost toilets that are clean and odor-free, often decorated with fresh flowers. The showers are hot and powerful, adding a welcome touch of comfort after a day outdoors. Each pitch typically comes with its own fire pit and rustic seating, and guests can buy firewood at a reasonable price. The site enforces a quiet period from 10 pm to 8 am, ensuring restful nights under remarkably dark skies perfect for stargazing. Mobile phone reception is limited, which many appreciate as a chance to truly disconnect, and there is no WiFi available. A few minor drawbacks include narrow approach lanes that can challenge larger vehicles and occasional aircraft noise from nearby Bristol Airport. Cold water at the washing-up station and a lack of electric hook-ups are noted, but these do not detract from the overall experience. The location provides easy access to Bristol, Bath, Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury, and other local attractions. Sustainability is a key feature, with eco-friendly compost loos and toilet paper adding to the site's charm. Guests repeatedly express their desire to return, making this a highly recommended destination for nature lovers and families.
