My favourite Somerset sites are:

Old Oaks, Glastonbury.  Situated just under the famous tor, rural site.  Adults only, wake up to birdsong, sleep under starry skies.  Spotless facilities.  Lovely onsite shop selling local produce (cheese and cider!!) order freshly made bread and home made cakes!  FAB.

Thorney Lakes, Langport.  Another rural site, set on the flat Somerset levels.  Site is more basic than Old Oaks with a laid back attitude.  Camp in the old apple orchard, pitch where you want, arrive when you want, leave when you want.  No stuffy rules.  Lovely walks around the onsite farm fields and fishing lakes.

Yet to visit, but on my list:  Alpine Grove, Chard.  More of a woodland site but looks our cup of tea.

Check out the reviews on the above. 

I to second Northam Farm in Brean an excellent site showers are spotless staff on site are very helpful.

loved the look of Old Oaks, sounds absolutely ideal for us but sadly they're full for the weekend. I've put it in my favourites though and will definitely try to get there this year before the end of their season (we intend to use our van throughout the winter).

Managed to get a cancellation and going to Southfield Farm. A CL site with no loo's or showers but a farm, set in the country with a stream running through it, beautiful countryside and nice walks.
