Camping in Nature at Vallis Veg
Prices are £10 per adult, £5 per child (aged 4 to 14) and £10 per car (add as an extra at the end of the booking process). You can check availability and book using the calendar below - but do read the Essential Information for campers before booking to see whether it's the right site for you!
A disclaimer: My site has been described as ‘Almost Wild’ in a certain national publication. As someone who loves wild camping myself I wouldn't describe my site as almost wild. It is a campsite one field away from the town of Frome, but I do aim for it to be ‘Camping in Nature’. Why not visit and make your own mind up?
​
At Vallis Veg we love natural camping spots and we love campfires. These are what we aim to offer our campers. Although it is clearly not wild camping, our site is also not a conventional site with lots of tents squeezed together in a flat field. We are a small farm and the camping is a little bit wilder. We have leveled spaces for tents among our young trees so you can camp in your own space, with leaves around you instead of lots of other tents!
​
The mix of rough ground, coarse shrubs, fallen wood and young trees on our site attracts a range of wildlife. We see barn owls, kestrels, buzzards, sparrowhawks, red kites, toads, frogs, newts, grass snakes, lots of song birds, weasels and many many more creatures. We hope you enjoy our beautiful site.
Nearby Attractions
We have a public footpath running through our site which gives easy pedestrian access to the town of Frome as well as lovely walks to some of the surrounding villages.
Frome has lots of activities, from tennis in the park and a sports centre to art and craft sessions and venues offering anything from films to opera. You can find many more sights and activities through:

The walk to Mells (7km round trip) is particularly beautiful and has lots of things to see, including a view of the local quarry from a viewing spot just above the village.
