Somerset caravan holidays and holiday parks
Somerset holidays allow you to experience South West England in all its glory. A Somerset caravan holiday perfectly encompasses the county’s unique blend of rolling hills, crisp countryside and striking coastline. Most of the land here is rural, with an incredible 72 nature reserves and two of the country’s largest areas of natural beauty – the Mendips and the Quantocks.
Our Somerset holiday parks are in a great position for you to make the most of these sites. Burnham-on-Sea shares its seafront with the town of the same name and is home to the world’s shortest pier. Doniford Bay sits amongst stunning surroundings on the county’s north coast . Fancy bringing your dog? Check out our dog friendly holidays to Somerset.
Set within idyllic Somerset, there’s dramatic natural beauty all around Burnham-on-Sea holiday park. Explore Cheddar Gorge or go deep at Wookey Hole.

Things to do in Somerset
If you like your scenery more dramatic, take a trip to Cheddar Gorge. 450-foot limestone cliffs loom over you as you arrive – followed by a downward turn to see the stunning stalactite caverns, a world-famous centre for caving and rock climbing. More gentle pleasures can be found in the seaside towns of Burnham-on-Sea, Brean and Minehead. Sandy beaches and crashing waves make them the perfect destination for surfers, while the distinctively stony Kilve Beach is riddled with rock pools for little ones to explore. Or take a day trip to Bath to ramble through its museums and historic sites or discover its links with Jane Austen. Make the pilgrimage to Wells or Glastonbury (or both!) for cathedrals and Somerset souvenirs.
