The Heal Somerset campsite is in a field in the heart of the site with glorious views. It’s a very basic set up, with a mains water tap and a compost loo, and very close to a wild camping experience.
​
You can bring your own tent or choose to stay in our tipi.
For the benefit of the wildlife here, dogs aren't allowed on site (unless they are assistance dogs), except on the two stretches of footpath which cross two areas.
​
An area of the field has been mown for the camping and there are no numbered pitches - you will be able to choose where you want to pitch your tent.
The field is situated in the heart of the Heal Somerset site and well away from any buildings, to give you an experience of being in the midst of nature. The site is in a very quiet rural area but we want to make visitors aware that there is a train line which runs along the valley, with trains passing through from time to time. We support train travel as a means of transport and the sound of the trains is brief, so we hope you embrace their passing by, as we do. Train lines are also great wildlife corridors!
Once here, you will be able to walk around the site, along the mown paths and see how the land is responding already. Although the site has only recently begun its recovery, we are seeing more and more wildlife every day so hopefully you will too. Visit our gallery to see what the site is like.
Stay in our tipi
If you don’t have any camping equipment or are looking for a slightly more luxurious wild stay, why not book a night or two in our cosy tipi which was kindly gifted to us by our neighbour Ian! Our tipi is the perfect way to experience Heal Somerset with family or friends as you can enjoy the quiet and wild beauty of our rewilding site in reassuring comfort. Sleeping up to four people, the tipi is furnished with a double futon and two single futons and has a wooden chest for storage, a small table, a director’s chair and metal crockery and cutlery, along with a picnic table for dining outside.
​
It is DIY - bring your own sheets and duvets (or sleeping bags) and pillows, a cooking stove and supplies, and other camping essentials. We provide a mains water tap, a compost loo and stunning views!
This is a lovely opportunity to introduce children to wild camping and to fully immerse yourselves in the abundant nature on site here at Heal Somerset.
Please note that bedding is not provided and fires are not permitted on site (gas stoves are allowed).​
​
It costs £60 per night to stay in the tipi and you can come with up to four people.
Bring your own tent
For the full wild camping experience, you can book to camp at Heal Somerset through CampWild, which is an online platform that brings together a range of 'wild camping' spots for its members to book and access.
​
To access our campsite, and many others, you'll have to sign up as a CampWild member which costs £20 per year. Once you've done that, you'll be able to see our page and book to stay with us which costs £25 per night per membership and you can come with up to six people.
