Knowle Meadow Camping

Ten-pitch South Somerset meadow where a family-run operation delivers spa-grade facilities, a wood-fired sauna, and genuinely unhurried space between you and the next tent.

Knowle Meadow sits in a tree-lined meadow outside Ilminster, where Philip and his family have built something that rewards guests who care about the details. Just ten pitches across bell tents, shepherd's huts, and standard camping plots means the site never fills with strangers, and you choose your own pitch on arrival. Space and privacy between plots are generous by design.

The facilities are the open secret here. Reviewers reach for spa comparisons and they're not wrong: the showers are immaculate, the wood-fired sauna is a proper fixture rather than a novelty, and the honesty shop stocked with home-grown veg and fresh eggs for breakfast is exactly the kind of host touch that tells you this place is run by people who actually camp. Bell tents come with log burners and their own outdoor kitchen areas. The meadow carries wildlife and wildflowers in season, and an open barn with books and games covers the rainy afternoon.

The Jurassic Coast is less than 30 minutes' drive, with Devon and Dorset both within easy reach. Cycling routes and pub walks start from the lanes around the site. For a base to explore South Somerset and the border country, the location punches above its quiet address.

Before you book

Only ten pitches across all accommodation types, so this books out fast in peak season.

“A carefully run, small-scale meadow site where the combination of spa-grade facilities and genuine host warmth earns its reputation through owner care rather than marketing.”
