These seven top-rated campsites in Somerset offer some of the best camping experiences in the south west of England.

Whether you are looking for a family break with all the trimmings of a traditional seaside holiday, or an adults-only escape to experience some of Somerset’s wonderful scenery, one of these Premier Parks will fit the bill. Each member of the Premier Parks group is visited and assessed each year by the editorial team behind MMM, Caravan, Camping, and outandaboutlive.co.uk to ensure that they meet the highest standards.

This adults-only campsite may have just 35 touring pitches, but is proof of the maxim that good things come in small packages. It’s a real winner for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and is just a short walk to a championship fishing lake.

There's also a laundry room, children's play area, an arcade and games room on site, and a choice of restaurants in the nearby area.

Dulhorn Farm Holiday Park
