Kingsettle Camping retreat is a quiet, ecologically run, seven acre campsite hidden beneath King Alfreds tower on the edge of beautiful Somerset where it meets with Dorset and Wiltshire, just five miles from the A303.
As an area of outstanding natural beauty we offer a retreat for just one night or your entire holiday. A place to enjoy nature in a relaxed atmosphere, a glorious sunset on sunny days and the opportunity to toast marshmallows over a camp fire, under a canopy of stars. The extensive meadow that occupies the centre of the site is left for the wildlife and provides you with a feeling of space and privacy.
Kingsettle Campsite also offers the chance to enjoy time away, without the stress of packing to camp or the pitching of tents or vans.
