About Thornhills Holiday Park
Set just outside the village of Othery, this two-acre lawned site is surrounded by countryside on all sides with far-reaching views of the Somerset Levels and Curry Ridge. All pitches are hardstanding and have electric hook up, some of these being double width pitches with awning space. A couple of tent pitches are possibly available over the summer. Or, if you have friends and relatives who don't enjoy sleeping in a caravan, make use of the cosy shepherd's hut, cottage or farmhouse. The small onsite shop also offers amazing handmade Italian gelato and freshly ground coffee roasted by UE Coffee in Oxford, perfect for your morning cuppa. Please note, the shop is only open during the summer months and open Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon. The Clarks Village shopping outlet is in Street and only 15 minutes away and you can be in the famous historic town of Glastonbury within ten minutes. Glastonbury Tor on the legendary Isle of Avalon rises above the Somerset Levels and gives a stunning backdrop to your holiday. This is a small boutique site that loves dogs and respectful owners but as they are a small site there is not a large area for you to walk your dogs. You will find a short public footpath to the side of the site or there are many walks around the Somerset Levels which can be accessible via car. Please note that the site is located next to a working farm so there may be farming noise.
Thornhills Holiday Park is open all year round in 2024 and 2025.
The site offers toilets and showers, please note that the facility building is unheated. A laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer is provided and fantastic WiFi is available on the site.

Stayed in our campervan for just 1 night. Really well kept grounds and beautifully clean toilets and showers. Very peaceful and quiet, and woke up to stunning birdsong. It was perfect for our needs and we'd stay again if in the area.
Delightful stay

Lovely hosts with beautifully kept grounds and facilities. Although close to a road this was not really noticeable once in the grounds. I shall certainly rebook when in the area.
Unheated toilets and showers!

We were booked for 3 nights, but unfortunately, due to an unexpected issue with our campervan had to head home after just one. However, had the issue not arisen we would have chosen not to stay longer. The site is easy to find and the pitches are adequate and fairly level. Chalkboards have all of the information you might require. We also met the delightful Kitty, a friend of the owners who mans the site for them. We specifically chose this site because of the availability of toilets and showers, which were very clean. However, they were unheated and therefore, in our opinion unusable during the autumn/winter/spring months. When reporting this to Kitty, she said she'd speak to the owner and call us the next day. She was as good as her word and did so. At £35 per night, with only 10 AMP electricity and unheated facilities, in our experience, this is not good value for money. The straw which broke the camel's back for us however, was the positioning of the notice board at the entrance which totally blocks your vision to the right when leaving, such that you have to edge forward onto a very fast road, which is extremely dangerous. It would be fine in a car, but certainly not in a campervan.

Things to do on site and in the Bridgwater area
Dominated by Burrow Mump, a natural hill topped by a ruined uncompleted church, the Somerset Levels are one of the most important inland wetlands in Britain if not the world. The area plays host to a diverse range of wading birds and wildfowl and is home to the RSPB reserve near Fivehead and the newly opened reserve at Greinton, just 1 mile up the road.
Visit the Willows and Wetlands Centre at Stoke St Gregory and learn about the cultivation of 'withies' and the traditional industry of weaving and hurdle making.
The Vale of Taunton Deane is nestled between the Blackdown, Quantock and Brendon Hills and the landscape is that of rich agricultural land, patchwork fields interspersed with soaring church towers, woodlands, orchards and traditional villages offering the best of Somerset welcomes. The 45 mile West Deane Walk takes in the delights of the vale at its best.
The site is also in easy access to Kilve beach and the Jurassic coast and if you fancy a day out, it is only 50 minutes to Lyme Regis.
