About Marshwood
Set in an excellent location, the site is within walking distance of Blue Anchor Beach and two local pubs. Plus, it's only a 10-15 minute drive to the historic towns of Dunster, Watchet and Minehead. In the Woodland Hideaway, you will have a beautifully furnished geodome, with its own private facilities. You will have a comfy king-size bed, so you'll feel right at home in this picturesque setting. Up to four people can stay in the dome using additional camp beds. The entire area is yours so if you wish to bring a tent to accommodate a larger party, just let the site know. The dome provides solar lighting, phone charging, and charming fairy lights that add a touch of magic to your stay. And when the evening chill sets in, cosy up around the wood burner. There are also ten spacious pitches for tent camping located on a separate camping field. Two cosy fully furnished bell tents are also set on the camping field. It's a dog-friendly site so you are welcome to bring your furry friend along for the adventure too. As a working farm, you may see large vehicles and livestock around the site, so please be mindful and always keep small children and dogs under control.
The geodomes are available from March to October and camping and bell tents are available from 19th July to 8th September.
The camping field has a compost toilet and shower..
The local pub, the Smuggler's Inn, is a 20-minute walk away. The nearest larger town is Minehead, a 10 minute drive away with a range of pubs, restaurants and wider shopping facilities.

An excellent campsite in a great location with friendly owners. It has the basics, a good hot shower and toilet, both clean and working well. There are 10 pitches in a large field so it never felt busy.
A lovely place to stay

Had a great camp, large field so had plenty of space to pitch our tent without being on top of other tents. Very peaceful you could hear the owl's hoot. Toilet facilities were very clean, I have never used a composting toilet before, so was amazed at how it all worked and how it didn't smell, so don't be put off. I had a lovely chat with the owner. Definitely get peacocks 😁 Overall, I would definitely recommend staying there and we would stay there again.
Beautiful place, professionally run
