Nunnington Park Farm Campsite in Somerset has been officially recognised as the Best Certificated Site (CS) for 2024 by The Camping and Caravanning Club, based on votes from its members. This annual award celebrates the finest small campsites throughout Britain, exclusively accessible to Club members, highlighting unique and intimate camping experiences.
Certificated Sites are limited to hosting a maximum of five caravans or motorhomes and ten tents at any one time, creating a cosy and community-focused environment. These sites range from straightforward setups to distinctive stays on working farms and smallholdings, offering campers a true taste of rural charm.
Alison Habberfield, co-owner of Nunnington Park Farm alongside her husband and son, shared her pride in the accolade. A third-generation farmer, Alison explained, “We’ve run the campsite for 11 years, seeing it grow alongside changes in the camping world, especially during the recent pandemic. Many of our visitors return year after year or come based on recommendations, which is wonderful to see.”

She continued, “Meeting guests personally, offering advice on local walks and cycle routes, and maintaining excellent facilities are all part of our ethos. Winning the Best CS for Facilities award this year too is the perfect complement to being named the best overall site.”
Situated just a mile from the lively brewery town of Wiveliscombe and within easy reach of Taunton, Nunnington Park Farm is praised for its peaceful surroundings and top-tier amenities. Club members have left glowing five-star reviews, highlighting the exceptional hospitality and tranquil natural setting. One visitor noted, “It’s so peaceful and full of wildlife. Alison is a welcoming and pleasant host who makes each stay special.”
Adding to the unique guest experience, the campsite features vending machines stocked with local treats such as beer, cider, honey, fire logs, ice cream, and home-produced meats, bringing a touch of Somerset’s best produce right to campers’ fingertips.
