About Swallow Barn Farm Camping

Switch off and unwind at this peaceful, off-grid farm site. Nestled in the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, guests can enjoy a back-to-basics stay, waking up to glorious rural views and spending days exploring country lanes, charming villages and rural pubs. There are just 20 non electric grass pitches, suitable for both tents and campervans. Each pitch allows up to six guests, with no allocated markings so there is plenty of space to set up your table and chairs.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesOct 2024

Chosen this site as close to Cheddar gorge at a reasonable price. There are sites closer to Cheddar but were charging extortionate prices. This was a nice field, lovely views and plenty of space. Owners leave you to it to enjoy your time there. Close to a pub and a petrol station/shop.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

This large field is all you need for pitching your tent. Fairly level field, a sink with cold water tap and a portaloo on site. Lovely view over the Bristol channel.

Nice, relaxed, basic site

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

If you are after a basic, open plan site with great views, and are happy with just 2 portaloos and a sink, then this is highly recommended. Great pub a short walk away too. Dog friendly with good walks straight from the site. We will be back next year.
