With views over Somerset The Boreal Belle is colourful and cosy, with rugs, throws, cushions and a king-size bed with luxury bedding. There are drawers to store your clothes, a sofa to relax on and a table and chairs for indoor dining, all finished with those extra luxury touches and of course bunting and fairy lights.

The sofa can become a bed and bedding provided for separate sleeping arrangements or for an extra person when notified in advance.

The tents are equipped with Crockery, Cutlery, pans etc along with a large cool box to keep your Prosecco cold on the warm evenings. There is an ordnance survey map of the local area, information books and a pair of mini binoculars to help you enjoy your stay. Tea, coffee etc are provided in Cheats Kitchen where you will find the electric kettle, toaster, fridge freezer and extra charging points for phones etc.

Outdoor games are also available in case you would like to enjoy a game of croquet or maybe quoits?

Your first basket of logs/kindling/firelighters and a pack of charcoal are provided with extras available in the honesty shop. Complimentary water from Cheddar Springs and Honey from our bee hives at Owley can also be found here.

Equipped with almost everything you need, just bring clothes, towels, provisions and a torch for stress free camping!

Powered by Nature!

Our tents are off grid, so we provide a solar portable power pack with USB sockets for phone charging (just in case you want to stay in touch with the outside world!), and solar lights for those darker evenings.

Lotus Belle Tents really are the top of the range tents made from heavy duty weatherproof canvas. With plenty of room to move around and stand up, it really doesn’t feel like you’re camping! They have a roomy porch area which further extends the living area and is ideal for outdoor clothes, muddy boots etc, there is space for all your needs, and then topped with a leafy green cover to protect the bats and wildlife from any light spill.

Outside of your tent, you have a seating area with comfy chairs and table and wood fired stove to boil a kettle or cook breakfast on. To keep you warm and cosy on the cooler summer evening, each tent has a fire pit with additional available hanging grill if you really want to explore your culinary skills.

Our onsite facilities were brand new in 2021 and we love our heated wood clad amenity block which has two bathrooms with flushing toilets and hot showers with a separate undercover washing up sink.

We are open from March - October and have a two night minimum stay (you will wish you stayed longer!)

Forget grass-only sites. Our electric and non-electric pitches can easily be used all year round with no water-logged awnings. One accommodation type allowed per pitch.

Electric Hardstanding and Grass Pitch

Forget grass-only sites. Our electric and non-electric pitches can easily be used all year round with no water-logged awnings. One accommodation type allowed per pitch.



Non-Electric Hardstanding and Grass Pitch

In a wonderful location at the foot of the beautiful **Mendip Hills** in the county of **Somerset**, is the small and lovely **Rodney Stoke Caravan and Camping Park**; exclusively for **adults only** and a great spot for those looking for a quiet and peaceful break.  The campsite is set in pretty countryside between **Cheddar** and the city of **Wells**, and if you are lucky enough to bag one of the 26 pitches, you will find a traditional and well run campsite with both grassy and hardstanding pitches and the choice of electricity if you wish.  The facilities are excellent, with a brand new shower and toilet block which is kept very clean, and the Park Warden - Tom - making sure everyone is well looked after. It is a flat, accessible and well-maintained site, welcoming tents, caravans and motorhomes. Your four-legged dog friends are also very welcome here too.  
 
Location-wise, you could not be better placed for exploring this part of the country.  The stunning **Mendips** - an **Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty** - is a stone’s throw from the campsite, and from here you can explore this wonderful landscape of limestone hills, spectacular gorges, picturesque lakes and mysterious underground caverns.  There are some fantastic walking trails for hikers - with many routes along the **Mendip Way** - and cyclists, rock climbers and horse riders will find plenty to keep them occupied here too.  Attractions include the world famous **Cheddar Gorge** - just three miles from Rodney Stoke -  Britain’s biggest gorge at over 400 feet deep and 3 miles long.  Here you can explore the 500,000 year old underground caves and find out all about the discovery of Britain’s oldest complete skeleton - **Cheddar Man** - who was found here in 1903 and is estimated to be around 9000 years old.  The **show caves**, full of stalagmites and stalactites, are a wonder to behold and there is also a museum to explain all about the history of this extraordinary place.  If that’s not enough underground excitement, The **Wookey Hole** **Caves** are also a very popular tourist attraction; as well as the stunning caverns there are gardens, woodland walks and many other family friendly activities to do here.

Fifteen minutes away from Rodney Stoke Caravan and Camping Park is the medieval city of **Wells**, England’s smallest city and named because of the natural springs that can still be found in the gorgeous gardens of **Bishops Palace**.  It is a great place for a wander around with its narrow streets, lively markets and of course, the dominant 13th Century Cathedral.  Other nearby places of interest include the mystical **Glastonbury Tor**, the seaside town of **Burnham on Sea** and a little further away, the Roman built City of **Bath**.

Back at the campsite, there’s no need to cook if you’re not in the mood.  The Rodney Stoke Inn lies just in front of the campsite and offers delicious food with no staggering distance at all after a big meal.  For something a bit different, walk 20 minutes to the quirky Cider Barn, serving sourdough pizzas and a great selection of West Country ciders and ales.  If you are planning a holiday in the Mendip Hills, Rodney Stoke is an excellent choice for a peaceful break in a fantastic location.

Grass Pitch - Tents, Caravans & Campervans

There is a refreshingly relaxed and old-school atmosphere here at Ebboways Farm campsite, an atmosphere that harks back to the days gone by of unfussy, “real” camping, with paired backed facilities and a wonderfully distinct lack of modern intrusions.  On arrival, a warm welcome awaits you from the owners - who also run a B&B on the old farm site - and you can pitch anywhere you fancy in the long, wildflower-strewn grass. The campsite spans across 7 acres and the grassy areas are interspersed with woodland copses and pretty glades.  

All are welcome; tents, caravans and campervans; this is camping as it used to be, with no set pitches, no showers, no electricity, no wifi - and it is all part of the charm of the place.  Campfires are actively encouraged and wood can be bought onsite.  Come here for a digital detox, to get back to nature and enjoy the gorgeous surrounding views.  The campsite has composting toilets and taps providing drinking water, but otherwise, this is as close to wild camping as you are able to get - without actually breaking any rules of pitching randomly in someone’s field.  It’s rather magical. 

Ebborways Farm is in an enviable location, situated in the village of Priddy and nestled into the heart of the extraordinarily beautiful Mendip Hills in Somerset; an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  It is hard to believe you are only 40 minutes from Bristol here, the city feels a million miles away.  The limestone hills of the Mendips are one of England’s most special and attractive places, with Chew Valley lake and a stunning landscape of steep slopes, spectacular gorges and grasslands full of flowers and wildlife.  Beneath the hills are the world-renowned Mendip Caves - Cheddar and Wookey Hole caves being the most famous attractions and accessible for all; the more tricky-to-reach caverns are popular with serious cavers looking for a challenge.  Overground, the top of the hills provide stunning views across to Wales, the Quantock Hills and Glastonbury Tor; the latter being known as one of the most spiritual places in England as well as the site of the legendary Glastonbury Festival.

And talking of festivals, Ebborways Farm is a great place to stay if you are planning on attending a festival in the area; it is one of the allocated campsites for the Priddy Folk Festival held annually in mid-July.  Other local festivals include the Top of the Gorge Festival, the Priddy Funday and Craft Fair and the Guy Fawkes Illuminated Carnival. 

The campsite is a tranquil getaway.  It is quiet, and relaxed and provides uninterrupted views across the beautiful Somerset hills.  In the evenings, wind down around a campfire with friends and family, watch the sunset and get back to proper laid-back outdoor living. Or wander into the village of Priddy to the excellent Queen Victoria Inn for a meal cooked with local produce and sample some of the delicious ciders on offer (you are in Somerset, after all, it would be rude not to).  This informal and back-to-basics campsite is a true gem in the Mendip Hills; the sense of space and freedom and uncomplicated living makes for a beautiful holiday.

There are many walks, cycle paths including the famous Strawberry line, and other outdoor activities nearby. Cheddar offers many beautiful walks, trails, cycle paths and lovely tea shops, and is also walkable from the yurt (about three hours!).

Hidden away in a peaceful corner of the lovely county of Somerset, on the banks of a river and in beautifully landscaped grounds, you will be very warmly welcomed at Cripps Farm Holidays.  Set across acres of rolling farmland near Bason Bridge, Cripps Farm is just a few miles from the seaside town of Burnham-on-Sea and the many coastal attractions nearby.  Guests staying at the campsite will be treated to glorious views across Somerset to the Mendips, Glastonbury Tor and the Quantock hills.  

Cripps Farm Holidays have lots of accommodation options and something for everyone.  There are 29 seasonal pitches, fully serviced and with either a riverside or countryside view - both stunning - which make for a rather special permanent holiday retreat for those who manage to bag one.  Not to worry if you don’t, there are also six good sized touring pitches, fully serviced and boasting possibly some of the loveliest riverside spots in Somerset.  In addition to this, they have 4 self catering cottages to book as well, all within the same carefully looked after and landscaped grounds, with pristine flowers beds and well-mown fields.

There are a number of peaceful walks around the campsite’s surrounding fields, including a long enclosed walk where your dog can have a good run around.  There is a well maintained toilet and shower block with underfloor heating and laundry facilities.  For those who like angling, the stars of the show are two rather lovely fishing lakes which are very well stocked with Rudd, Roach, Perch, Bream, Chub, Tench and Carp.  Fishing on the River Cripps and River Bure is also available.  And if you have canoes, explore the river from the water and enjoy the abundance of wildlife; look out for kingfishers, buzzards, otters and wild deer among other things.  Along with the wild animals to spot, there are also lots of farm animals for the kids to meet here, including cows, pigs and lambs in the spring.

There is so much to explore and enjoy in the local area, from Victorian seaside towns, medieval villages, stunning beaches, miles of rural countryside full of wildlife and nature trails, the gorges and caves of the Mendips and the lovely cities of Wells and Bath.  The location of Cripps Farm is incredible for exploring all of Somerset’s gems, but relaxing at the campsite might just be all the holiday you need, it really is a lovely spot.  Especially with the news that this year sees the opening of Cripps River Spa, a little haven of tranquility right on the campsite, offering a sauna, hot tub (with stunning views across the countryside of course), a treatment room and all round blissful relaxation.  It doesn’t get much better than that.  With walking, cycling, fishing all on your doorstep, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and bustling towns and pretty villages to explore, this Somerset campsite makes for a great holiday destination.

Please note: Greener Camping Club membership is required to stay at Dowlais Farm. Please add at checkout.

Dowlais Farm was bought by business partners David, Kathrin, John and Lucy in 2017 and the restoration process was started immediately. The first step was to move the landscaping business run by David and John onto the premises.  The farmhouse was very run down but after a lot of TLC David and Kathrin moved in in May 2018. The same year the sheep were added to the farm and a year later our chickens joined us. ​

Due to the size of the farm and the number of outbuildings the renovation process continues and we are currently turning the barn adjacent to the farmhouse into holiday lets. The two units will be available to rent later in 2022.

Since spring 2022 Dowlais Farm is also proud to be part of the Greener Camping Club. All Greener Camping Club campsites are carefully assessed for their sustainability, impact on the environment and opportunities for wildlife.
