The springtime is a great time of year for camping and we love getting out in the fresh air when the spring flowers are out and the weather starts to warm up. Winter was slow to leave us this year so spring was off to a bit of a slow start – and then it was, briefly, summer! If you weren’t lucky enough to have taken advantage of the recent hot weather and are planning a camping trip over the coming Early May Bank holiday - have a look at our top tips below for getting your camp on this Spring.
Here at Southfork we are ready to put the winter behind us and we are looking forward to the start of the season and the Easter holidays. Our new static caravan holiday homes are on-site and we can't wait to welcome the first guests over Easter.

We have been very busy on the park this year, getting ready for the new camping season. We are very lucky here in Somerset that we benefit from mild winters and early springs and we can't wait for the new season to start properly!
Our rural, family run campsite in Somerset has a range of options available for your stay, from our glamping pod to grass and hardstanding pitches for tents, motorhomes and caravans. Our current static caravans are also extremely popular holiday homes and have been on site for some years now. So, we thought they could do with an upgrade!
Winter is not normally a time you immediately associate with caravanning but many sites (including our own) are open throughout the year – so why not make more use of your caravan or motorhome through the winter season.
For many of us, October Half Term represents the last opportunity of the year for camping. Somerset is a beautiful county to visit all year round, but the Autumn is a particularly lovely time of year here. So, if you fancy a last, late-season camp over half term, have a look at our suggestions for more things to do whilst you are here.

Congratulations to our Facebook competition winner, Nikki Stephenson who has won a fabulous free weekend stay for 2 in our wonderful glamping pod.
One of the nice things about being holed up over winter is thinking about what you are going to do once the better weather comes and planning your first camping trip of the season.
Early spring is the perfect time to book a Glamping break in Somerset. After the madness of Christmas and as the days start to get a bit longer the first snowdrops, the ‘harbingers of Spring’ start to appear, and we all start to think about getting out and about a bit more. For all but the most intrepid of us though, a camping break in a tent at this time of year is not so appealing!
It Is important to winterise your motorhome before the cold weather sets in. Taking steps to do this in good time will mean that you are ready to hit the road again when the better weather comes in the spring.
The Autumn is a great time to get away for a short camping break and this year the autumn colours are spectacular. Our site, Nr Yeovil, in Somerset is a great place to enjoy a late autumn break.
There are a number of factors to consider when you are choosing a storage location for your caravan or motorhome. The basic choice comes down to whether you are going to store at home or at secure storage location away from your home.
The end of the summer camping season is a great time to book your caravan in for a specialist service and clean to ensure that it is ready for when you want to start camping again.
Here at Southfork Caravan Park Near Yeovil in Somerset we have a fully equipped, AWS approved workshop and offer a comprehensive servicing and cleaning for your caravan or motorhome.
Camping is a great way to relax and unwind from the pressure of modern life and it’s ‘always-on’ mentality. Spending some time away from technology allows you the time to recharge your batteries and enjoy being out of contact for a while. Free from the usual chores of day to day life, camping breaks can be great thinking time and enable you to spend quality time with friends and family...
Our new Glamping area is here and it’s looking fantastic! The first of our new Glamping units is completed. ‘Glamping’, or glamorous camping has risen in popularity in recent years and it’s easy to see why.
