Whether you are looking for a family break with all the trimmings of a traditional seaside holiday, or an adults-only escape to experience some of Somerset’s wonderful scenery, one of these Premier Parks will fit the bill. Each member of the Premier Parks group is visited and assessed each year by the editorial team behind MMM, Caravan, Camping, and outandaboutlive.co.uk to ensure that they meet the highest standards.

Bath Chew Valley Caravan Park (adults only)

Bishop Sutton, Bath BS39 5TZ
This adults-only campsite may have just 35 touring pitches, but is proof of the maxim that good things come in small packages. It’s a real winner for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and is just a short walk to a championship fishing lake. The attractions of Bath, Bristol and Weston-Super-Mare, as well as the scenic Mendip Hills, are within easy reach and there’s a pub and shop only a few hundred yards away.

There's also a laundry room, children's play area, an arcade and games room on site, and a choice of restaurants in the nearby area.

Dulhorn Farm Holiday Park

Lympsham, Weston-super-Mare BS24 0JQ
Handy for the famous Cheddar Gorge, the Mendip Hills and the beaches at Weston and Brean, Dulhorn Farm offers level grassed pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents, with electric hook-ups set in a secure site with barrier access.

Exe Valley Caravan Site (adults only)
