About Buckland Farm Camping

Buckland Farm rests just south of West Buckland, against the base of the Blackdown Hills. Just under thirty minutes to both Exmoor and the Quantock Hills, there's acres of countryside beauty waiting for you! The camping field is over five acres, with 11 spacious grass pitches available, ideal for accommodating even the largest of set ups. There are also three spacious fenced pitches available. Each pitch is fenced with 5ft high foal netting with an outward opening gate. In these pitches you won't need to keep your dog on its lead. For those who prefer to pack light, there is a furnished bell tent featuring a comfy double bed with two single futons. You just need to bring your bedding and towels! Outside is a picnic table and fire pit for some alfresco dining, so pack your cooking equipment! Please note that this is a Greener Camping Club site, but through booking, any guest can become a member.

Buckland Farm Camping is open from 25/04 to 30/09.

A note from the site themselves...

For some years, our farm has been used for occasional dog agility events. Having had some lovely feedback about the area and venue, we thought it would be good to share it with more people.

We also wanted to promote eco/green camping, dog ownership and living in general, and being part of the Greener Camping Club helps us to do this.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesJul 2024

A lovely site with solar heated showers and washing facilities. My sprollie dog particularly appreciated the islands of long grass between tent pitches. I am travelling on an e-bike and Carol's husband facilitated charging the battery . Otherwise there was very efficient USB charging area for phones and power packs. I loved the comfy bell tent, with children's' toys and armchairs for the grown ups. Thank you!

Stayed on this lovely site. Very spacious pitches, Carol the owner worked very hard keeping everything clean and tidy. Freezer use and phone charging were great ideas and it is in a fantastic setting.
