About 5 Acres
5 Acres sits just outside Taunton, Somerset — a campsite that makes a handy stop for touring the region. You can pitch up year-round on grass pitches with electric hook-up available, and campfires are allowed, which adds a bit of atmosphere on cooler evenings. Dogs are welcome, showers and drinking water are on site, and the whole setup is straightforward and family-friendly.
It's a solid, no-frills choice if you're planning to explore Somerset and want somewhere unpretentious to base yourself — though note there's no chemical waste disposal point, so you'll need to plan accordingly if you're in a campervan.

What visitors say
We stayed in the big enclosed pitch with kitchen, shower and toilet. This is the best campsite we have ever been to, the facilities are brilliant, it is clean and the atmosphere is really friendly. The campsite itself is beautifully maintained and the owners were very pleasant and had some lovely dogs! We would 100% recommend this campsite and will be returning as soon as possible.

Lush wee site, easy to find, cheap and straightforward self check in with helpful instructions shared on booking. Fab toilet and shower facilities on lorry. Nice vistas and birdsong. Stayed here few times, will come back again.

Staying at the hobbit house was a gentle step back into simpler living which made it very charming. The house is cosy, full of character, with a warmth that makes you feel instantly at home. If your looking for a lovely tranquil escape the Hobbit house is a truly delightful place to stay. Theo the owner greeted us on arrival, provided an overview of the site, and advised that he is available should we require any assistance.

We stayed for 2nights. Great contact with the owner who gave us and our friends 3 pitches side by side. The toilets and showers are incredibly clean. There is access to water all around the site. The owner came over to introduce himself. Great guy, super friendly. Dogs can be happy here also.
