About Glastonbury Cottages and Caravanning Certificated Site
As soon as you park up, you'll be very pleased with the location of your pitch, whichever one you choose includes an amazing view of the tor and countryside - the pictures simply do not do it justice. You're walking distance from the famous tor itself, and the views from the top are also incredible, or you can also walk into Glastonbury itself. If you're looking to get away from overcrowded larger sites, this small site at the foot of the Glastonbury Tor may be the perfect spot with just 13 pitches, eight of which are set on level grass and suitable for tents, measuring 8m x 11m. There are five electric hardstanding pitches available for tourers measuring 11m x 11m offering a 16 amp hook up and a grassy area too. Please note, that for pitches four and one you will need a lead of at least 25m to reach the hook up point. There are also a selection of holiday cottages onsite. For days out, Glastonbury town centre is within a 30 minute walk, great for mooching around independent shops and restaurants, or of course hiking up to the Glastonbury Tor is a must! Pack a picnic to enjoy at the top whilst you admire the views. This site is a member of The Freedom Camping Club and cars are to be kept off the grass. Dogs are welcome onsite with up to two well-behaved dogs allowed per pitch, just please keep them on a lead whilst on site and well-supervised. BBQs are permitted but the site asks that they be raised off the ground to not damage the grass.
Touring pitches are available all year round. Camping pitches are available from May until the end of September.
The site has access to fresh drinking water with taps located in the touring/caravan area. There is also a modern toilet and shower block with underfloor heating, which has a mini kitchenette area complete with kitchen sinks, a tall fridge freezer combo, a microwave, and a kettle.
There are also powerpoints located in the cupboard which have USB ports for charging phones or other electronics while on site. Free WiFi is provided.
The closest pub is a ten minute walk along the main road, however, it is about 20 minutes to the centre of Glastonbury where there are several pubs and restaurants.

Yeah, it's a good campsite, very neat and nice land and even grass. Easy to pitch. Only downside is the busy road next to it. Cars can be a bit loud (if you're a light sleeper like me, bring earplugs) but otherwise, quiet and peaceful. Thanks.

Things to do on site and in the Glastonbury area
Being ideally situated at the foot of Glastonbury Tor, begin your stay with a walk up to the base of the Tor, taking you approximately 10-15 minutes. The site is also just a ten minute walk from The Chalice Well which is en route to the high street.
When you're back at your base, take in the views of the Glastonbury Tor and the Somerset Levels. It's just 20 minutes walk to the centre of Glastonbury while a slightly longer, and more scenic, route takes you past the abbey.
After you've arrived at the high street, be sure to browse through the shops before relaxing with a tipple at one of the many pubs and restaurants scattered about the town.
Nearby, you'll find plenty of nature reserves nearby filled with an abundance of wildlife to see.
You're also close to Cheddar Gorge and the Wookey Hole caves offer fun for all the family. The bustling cities of Bath and Bristol can be reached in an hour by car.
Other nearby attractions:
- Somerset Rural Life Museum (less than a 5 minute drive)
- Combe Hill Wood (10 minutes)
- Shapwick Heath National Nature Reserve (20 minutes)
- Catcott Complex Nature Reserve (20 minutes)
- Bridgwater (40 minutes)
