About Old Oaks Touring Park
Located right in the heart of Somerset, The Old Oaks is the ideal base exploring the county's many treasures with beautifully maintained pitches and grounds. Whether you enjoy walking, cycling, fishing or just lying back and soaking up the peace and quiet, Old Oaks could you just the place for you. It's the place for special holiday memories, offering something for everyone! Spread over 15 acres, the touring park and glampsite comprises five paddocks, ranging from 11 to 27 pitches or glamping accommodation in each. Having been developed in stages over the years, each paddock has its own unique character, but universal standards of quality. Larger than average, the park's level and landscaped pitches are divided by trees and shrubs, backing onto mature hedges. This ensures a sense of privacy and space as well as providing a rich nature habitat for birds and other small animals. There's a range of pitching options, from fully serviced premier and superior pitches to standard electric pitches. Or for those who enjoy the outdoor life but don't fancy sleeping under canvas, there are six unique cabins for glamping, four of which are suitable for wheelchair access. There are also two luxury shepherd's huts and four mini cedar lodges, some featuring their own private hot tub. Previous winner of Overall Winner and Best Adult Only Site in the Practical Caravan Top 100 Awards.

We were looking for a great site for our short break and settled on this one hoping it was as good as the reviews suggested. Wow, were we surprised when it turned out to be better than expected, by a very long way. It is exceptional, from the location to the staff, everything was spot on. The facilities and cleanliness are second to none, I've stayed in nice hotels which weren't as clean as this site. If you take a dog, you are in for a treat, the dog walking areas are spotless and like a bowling green, with a dog pond and shower room too. It's hard to describe exactly how good this place is. If you are thinking about it, do it, you won't be disappointed. Great pitch sizes too.
Excellent location

Stunning location and a beautiful, well kept site with fantastic facilities. Bathrooms/showers are the best I have seen as yet. Not much more could do to improve them. They also have breakfast club and evening meals that are different each night if you do wish not to cook. The pitches are kept immaculate, they are large with good waste facilities too. If you wish to walk into Glastonbury, be prepared for a steep hill climb which leads to the tor. Well worth the walk.

Things to do on site and in the Glastonbury area
On site you can relax and fish by the half acre coarse fishing lake (well stocked with carp, roach and tench and a haven for wildlife) or start your four legged friend on the network of footpaths for full of sights and sounds for dogs to enjoy.
For those that enjoy walking, the campsite is surrounded by a network of footpaths, the most popular being to the famous Glastonbury Tor and to the town itself (two miles from the campsite), but if you are a keen walker there are many more to choose from.
The Old Oaks is also an ideal base for cycling. Some excellent cycle routes, many quiet country lanes and the natural beauty of the Somerset levels make the area perfect for exploring by bike. The Somerset nature reserves at Westhay and Shapwick are a must for anyone that enjoys the outdoors and are just a short bike ride away.
