A
bit about our Park - We are situated high up overlooking
the Somerset Levels, because of this we can not & will not ever
flood. The ground is in general 8" of top soil and then onto
White Lias Rock, therefore we drain extremely well. Even with all
the rain the whole country has been experiencing lately, for our ground
we still reccommend you bring 'Rock Pegs' (but we do sell them if
you forget).
What
can our site offer you ?
Whether
you are looking for a short weekend break, a family holiday or just
feel like an overnight stop, Bowdens Crest can assist. We are situated
in the the heart of Somerset with a panoramic view of the Somerset
Levels. Our countryside park is surrounded by attractions for all
ages as well as offering the quiet weekend retreat away from the
rat race.

Dogs
on the Park - Dogs are most welcome on our park & we
do not charge for them. However, we do have 2 basic common sense rules.
1 - Dogs MUST be kept on a lead at all times whilst on the main park.
2 - Owners must pick up after them (yellow bins are provided around
the park).
NEW
for Dogs 2007 ---- whilst you are on holiday you may wish
to visit one of the many attractions in the area that you feel is
not suitable for taking your dog to, or it may be a hot day &
better for the dog than to be left in a hot car. Further up the lane
to the park is an excellent Kennels run by Dave, Tina & family.
We have negotiated a special rate with them, whereby you can leave
the dog for just the day. This can be booked direct on 01458 250556.

Camping
& Touring area
Our Camping / Touring area is open plan with
electric hookup's around the edge and none-hookup pitches in the
centre. The whole area is set on White Lias Stone and therefore
drains extremely well, and it is advisable to bring some rock pegs
with you (we also sell them in the shop). Because we are so high
up overlooking the Somerset Levels, there is no need to worry about
flooding. This area is suitable for Touring Caravans, Tents, Trailer
Tents & Motorhomes.
