Why stay here ...
Swallows View is set on the Somerset Levels and is a peaceful, adults only, cosy site that is enclosed by mature hedgerows teaming with bird life. There is ample space for 5 outfits, each pitch having their own water tap and electric hookup point (10amps). There is a hand sanitiser station located next to the chemical/grey waste, recycling and composting facilities.
We have now installed Terram grass protector semi hard standings to every pitch along with a run through the centre of the campsite to make it easier to arrive and leave the site.
There are 3 pubs within walking or cycling distance if you're feeling energetic, or a very short drive away. There is a very well stocked village shop which houses our local Post Office and also stocks Calor Gas.
With the beaches of Minehead, Burnham-On-Sea, Brean and Weston-Super-Mare to the West and the infamous town of Glastonbury and other famous locations such as City of Wells, Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole to the East there is plenty to do, not forgetting Clark's Village for a little retail therapy, all within a 30 minute drive.
We are a few minutes drive (or nice flat bike ride) from all the nature reserves, Avalon Marshes, Ham Wall (RSPB, dogs welcome), Catcott Complex, Westhay Moor (dogs welcome) but to name a few, with the famous displays of Starling Murmurations in Autumn.
Karl, Liz & Keira look forward to welcoming you to our site.

Lovely, friendly and peaceful
Swallows View
Everything about this site was wonderful.
Karl was very helpful and welcoming and kindly let us stay and extra couple of hours on the Sunday🙂
The site was very clean and well kept and close to the places we wanted to visit (Cheddar, Glastonbury and Wedmore)
Would definitely come again!🌝
Lovely quiet site
Swallows View
One word of warning; do not follow the satnav instruction but follow the instructions posted on the CAMC pages. Could save a lot of anguish.
This is a lovely site with lovely owners. Nothing was too much trouble (thank you Carl for the fuse!). There are some poultry and dogs resident but these were no trouble whatsoever. We were made very welcome with our two spaniels.
The Somerset Levels is not an area we know well but having spent three nights here en-route to Cornwall, will most definitely be back. Great site.
Excellent for safe cycling
Swallows View
We agree with previous reviewers who have said it all; this is a top notch CL. We booked on personal recommendation from friends and came for the extensive safe cycling on the Levels and were not disappointed. Thoroughly recommended.

Friendly, quiet and ideal location
Swallows View
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay at Swallows View helped by friendly, welcoming owners, Karl and Liz and, luckily, a spell of fine weather. A lovely well kept site, all facilities in easy reach, quiet (on a country lane) and direct access to the Somerset |Levels. The local shop in Edington village is very well stocked and there are several local pubs. Lots of cycling opportunities in the area along lanes with little traffic and there is a disused railway track for walking and cycling through the Avalon Marshes Nature Reserve heading towards Glastonbury. There is also a national cycle route nearby and Sweets Peat Museum on the B3151 North of Westhay has a cafe, popular with cyclists, and sells yummy bacon baps and cakes. Wilkins cider farm in Mudgley is well worth a visit and The Old Spot bakery in Mark has a wonderful selection of bread, cakes and lunchtime treats. Would definitely return to this site.
Quiet Site, great location
Swallows View
We were given a warm welcome to the site by Karl with suggestions of local bike rides and places to eat. The site was level with grass over plastic grids. Even after 3 days of very heavy rain we had no problems with getting our 3.7T van off the site when it was time to go home. There was also a substantial hedge to protect us from the prevailing wind. Because of this I would recommend it as a site year round. Each pitch had it's own water supply and there were good recycling facilities. The site had an information board with a map of the local area.
There were some lovely bike rides and walks from the site to nearby nature reserves. It is possible to do an almost flat bike ride into Glastonbury which is a nice town to visit and, for those feeling energetic, a walk up the Tor provides great views. The food at The Duck, about 1.5 miles down a quiet lane, is very nice with generous portions. The bacon sandwiches at the Avalon Marshes Visitor Center are also nice. Be sure to check opening times for the historic buildings as they aren't open all the time.
For a quiet break surrounded by nature I couldn't recommend this site highly enough.
