Ashe Farm is located about two miles east of M5 Junction 25: very convenient for Taunton, the Quantock hills and the Somerset coast (Minehead, Watchet, Dunster etc). The site is very easy to find (east on the A358 for 2 miles then turn right at the Nags Head - more on this later).
This is a mid sized site with two main fields. Most pitches have an electric hookup available, some have hardstandings for caravans/mobile homes, water points are plentiful enough.
Pitches are fairly informal (i.e not strictly marked out - except by hookup points I suppose) and generous in size by any standards- we have a Montana 6 with front awning (think small aircraft hanger) and still had plenty of room in front of the tent for our baby to have a good crawl around and plenty of room at the side to park the car and to set the chairs and table up.
Toilet and shower facilities at the site seem perfectly adequate for the number of pitches (site was pretty full during our stay but we didn't have to queue once in the three days we were there), these were kept very clean and well stocked throughout our stay. There is also a parent and baby room, which doubles as a disabled toilet/shower room. Washing up space is plentiful enough and there are laundry facilities. In the second field there is an adventure playground for kids. There is also plenty of open space for games.
OK obvious stuff over with, what's it like to stay here?
Well the answer is that this is a really lovely site - informal, friendly, quiet, spacious, well kept and very reasonably priced (our pitch was £12. 00 per night for a tent with two adults and a baby including electricity in peak season - bargain or what). Fees are collected at about 10AM in the morning by a very friendly, chatty lady who is obviously more interested in you and the comfort of your stay than she is in the cash she's collecting. There's even a nice pub at the end of the lane (The Nag's Head), which serves good food and I nice range of good ale.
I can happily recommend this site unreservedly to anyone who wishes to explore Somerset or to anyone wishing to break up a longer journey to Devon or Cornwall.
I have been meaning to write a review about this site for ages.
We have been using this site for over three years and go about 3 to 4 times a year either on our own or with a few friends.
Great site within easy reach of the M5 Taunton junction.
There are two fields upper and lower with both having electric hook-up. The toilets are situated in the top field and are always clean and tidy and very modern with nice showers. Within this block is washing up facilities, information room, and fridge freezer.
There is a small play area outside the toilet block with swings and an old farm tractor.
The pitches are of a generous size, our tent is 8m x 10m with a large porch and we have never had a problem of being too close to the next tent.
The owners are lovely and come round in the mornings to collect rent. You can phone and pre-book your pitch which will have a board with your name on when you arrive so no need to go to reception.
Dogs are welcome with a nice area around the site to walk them.
Taunton is only 15 mins away with a large Sainsbury’s just off the motorway and there is a garage shop about half a mile away which sells the essentials needed for camping.
There is also a pub at the end of the lane to which you can walk and has a great range of food and drink.
We have been camping for five years and this is by far the best value for money site we have come across.
We would recommend this site to all, families and couples.
We used this site as a stopover on the way to cornwall and was not disappointed,
Basically you just turn up and pitch where you want,
We opted for the lower field that had football posts [which kept my son happy]
The showers were clean and modern as was the potwash and toilets,
The pub at the end of the road do good meals [ideal if you don't want to cook on your stopover] however it stops serving food at 9pm, it is called the nags head.
The lady comes round the following morning to collect the pitch fees,
Just returned from 5 days at this lovely site. Very well maintained, but relaxed with very good facilities including loos/showers/fridge/laundry and very friendly owners who wander round regularly, and collect fees in the mornings. We were in the top field, so close to loos and 2 swings & tractor for children to play on. We were on the end of a run of pitches on hardstand and had lots of space. If you want to use the washing machine/dryer just buy a token from the owners on their daily round. Showers are free, with good hot water and pressure if you go early am/ late pm.
If you're in the bottom field it's a bit of a walk to the facilities, so be prepared for that! Even saw some people drive up to the loo block.
Pub a short walk down the road did good food, even a decent kids' menu and fab proper draught cider, served up with a warm welcome.
Recommend this one to all - especially if you're those laid-back, smiley chatty campers that we encountered there! We will definitely be going back.
This is a lovely campsite and great value for money, we were in a tent in the large field away from the toilet/shower block and found that even though there were quite a few other campers, it was really quiet. We were told by others that they have never seen it really busy because there is so much space. When you turn up you can just drive round and pick a spot.
Showers and toilets kept very clean with laundry room etc. It has a little play area with some swings in the middle of the field and other play things for kids by the toilet block and it was great to see the kids playing and having fun.
For cyclists is is well situated for cycling around the lovely quiet country lanes and there is some good off road routes around the Blackdown Hills nearby. The very friendly Nags Head pub just a few minutes walk away does some good reasonably priced food. Taunton is just a short drive away as well. Didn't notice the traffic noise which was surprising as it was close to a busy A road.
A great campsite for kids as plenty of room to run or cycle around the field or play football. Take some ear plugs though, there is a kennels nearby and dogs were howling in the night but not enough to spoil our short time there as we would definitely come back !
We stayed in the static caravan this time and my daughter and family had the other. Last year we camped in one of the two fields. Fantastic place to stay.
Owners very friendly, facilities excellent, very clean toilet and shower block. Ideal situation as it is only 45 minutes to Lyme Regis or 45 minutes to Minehead. Supermarkets close at hand and only a short drive to Taunton.
Whether you stay in a tent or the static caravans the cost is excellent. Plus you can buy fresh eggs from the farm. Plenty of space between tents too.
My little grandaughter and grandson loved the chickens and goats. Lovely walks around the campsite.
This site was a really good one. With it being a farm I wasn't expecting much. However, I was pleasantly surprised.
After finally finding the site (it's difficult if you don't come in on the main road) we got there and were told to find our own pitch. Sometimes this is dubious because of people getting too close, but the site is so big that this would never be an issue.
The toilet block facilities were brilliant, nice and clean, and the staff we encountered were very pleasant. It's in a great location for exploring, and I'd definitely stay here again.
Absolutely lovely site. It feels like it is in the middle of nowhere, but is actually only 15 minutes from the M5. The site is very accessible, just off a dual carriageway with no scary narrow lanes to traverse! Despite being close to the main road, there is no road noise heard at all.
The site is a very good size, over 2 fields, but with a sensible number of pitches. This means that the grass pitches are huge! The pitches are well cared for, some slightly sloping, but we were okay despite not having levelling blocks. There are also several hardstanding pitches which are also a good size, but seemed more suited to RV's.
There are plenty of electric hook ups, water points and refuse containers dotted around the site.
There is one sizeable utility block, which contains the waste water / chemical points, washing up area, laundry, ladies and gents toilets / showers, and an information room containing leaflets etc for tourist attractions.
All of the amenities are of a very high standard, spotlessly clean and the best I have seen. There was always plenty of liquid soap at the sinks, a hairdyer is provided, and there is also a step for the litle ones to reach the sinks! There was plenty of hot water available at all times, with good, powerful, free showers.
There are swings, a sandpit and a tractor to climb all over, and there is plenty of open space for ball games etc. There is also a separate 'dog walk' area located at the rear of the site. There are also goats and chickens in a pen at the entrance to the site, which the children enjoyed feeding.
There is no shop on site, but there is a petrol station shop located a short distance away, which stocked most foodstuffs. There is a pub at the end of the road, although we did not visit this during our stay.
The site is well located for visiting Taunton, Wells, Yeovil (where the Fleet Air Arm Museum is located, and definitely worth a visit!), and Clarkes Village at Street.
The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the whole site is a gem. Fees are very reasonable, and I would certainly visit again. I would strongly recommend that you give it a go too!
Probably the nicest site we have visited in the years we have been camping. We camped in the first field in an alcove just right for our 2 tents with electric hook up. The site was very quiet peaceful and kept very tidy.
The showers were lovely, with none of the stupid push button things and the toilet/showers were kept nice and clean (apart from the grass we all trod in there, sorry, but couldn't be helped). The site is within hearing distance of the very busy main road but on the 2nd night it was barely noticeable. We will certainly be going back there several times in the near future.
All in all this site is perfect for a no frills camping experience, if, like us to want to just pitch and chill. No club, no swimming pool but no extreme prices to cover for them. It would be criminal not to visit the pub near the campsite 'The Nags Head'. We had the best sunday carvery there before heading home.
Site just off the motorway spread over two fields, facilities in one field water and hook ups all over (best to book a hook up). Three free showers and two loo's for men - never enough but what camp site has. Nice and clean. Fees collected between 9-10am pay at house if leaving early. £5pppn for four of us in two tents. Two pubs nearby quite reasonable.
Owners friendly - yet to meet an unfriendly one. Visit spoilt by rowdy teenagers playing footie and music till 4am, was I ever like that? Would go again.
We only stayed one night (Friday) on the journey to Cornwall. The site is only minutes from the M5 and just a nice distance for the journey-break for us.
Lovely clean, quiet site with free showers. Dog-friendly - lovely walks for dogs.
We were in the first field on a hard standing pitch but with grass at the side for kids to pitch their pup-tent (cost us £16 for caravan with EHU, 2 adults, 2 dogs & 2 16yr old kids in a pup tent).
At first glance you don't notice the second field (grass pitches with EHU) which is large with pitches around the perimeter and plenty of space for the kids to play in the middle. The pitches in the 2nd field looked a decent size.
Recycling bins plentiful and plenty of water points (all with grid set in concrete so no muddy grass to avoid when filling water containers.
Pub short walk away, although we unfortunately didn't sample the delights. Supermarkets (24-hr Asda) and take-aways just a short drive away.
We will definitely return - hopefully for more than 1 night - and would highly recommend this site.
Ashe Farm is a pretty, open field site with friendly staff and a nice short walk over the neighbouring hill. Very clean and quiet. The top field has a tarmac access road and several hard pitches with electrics, the lower field is completely grass but has electrics.
In the top field there's also a shower and toilet block which has a sink in the side, and a rotary washing line for your towels. There's a small kids play area with swings and an old tractor (which the big kids seem to love just as much as the little ones!)
Didn't get out much into the local area but there's a pub within walking distance that has a nice adventure playground area for kids, and Taunton is a short drive away with a Sainsburys superstore pretty much the first thing you see.
Downsides: The toilet block is a bit of a walk if you're camping in the lower field and don't have your own loo. (There are fields through a gate at the bottom with hedges to dodge behind if you're lazy). At the time I went (2010) the nearest water tap to my pitch was out of action but hopefully this has been fixed in the off season.
We stopped here on an overnight stop on our way to south Devon.
I had emailed two days before leaving to check on pitch availability and also phoned about 45 minutes before arrival just to make sure they still had a space. The owners were very helpful both by mail and on the phone.
We arrived around 9.45pm after a busy journey on the m5 as it was the friday of whit week.
The site is lovely, great toilet / shower facilities, nice laundry room and a couple of play areas. Our kids loved the tractor to play on.
The site is divided into two fields with both grass and hardstanding pitches which you choose yourself on arrival.
The owners came around about 09.30am and were very friendly. It only cost us £14 there may be a little surcharge for electric but we didn't bother for one short night. Normally we pay £17.50 to stay over at the motorway services so I'm so glad we found this great site just 2 miles from m5 junction 25.
Next time we will stay for a couple of nights so we can explore the local area.
Great site, looking forward to next time.
