Isle of Avalon Touring Caravan Park, Glastonbury, BA6 9AF

To find site:- Leave M5 at junction 23 and follow A39 road to Wells. On the Glastonbury bypass turn onto B3151. After a very short distance turn right and site is on the left in hundred metres.

This campsite, which is open all year, is close to the town of Glastonbury and an easy walk from the site. It was good to see so many summer flowers adorning the toilet block and other displays around the site There are around 100 pitches, mainly on hardstandings of various size, plus some tent pitches at the far end of the site. Some hardstandings are just wide enough for the unit on the pitch  whilst others will also take an awning. Electric points are convenient to pitches and use CEE17 blue connectors. Ampage varies depending on pitch type and will either be 6 or 10 amps. The main service buildings are situated near the entrance to the site. Reception also contains a reasonably comprehensive shop selling both food and drink and some camping accessories. Across from reception is the only toilet block which is a really excellent quality with large showers. Also in the same block is an enclosed dishwash area and laundry. Disabled toilet/shower facilities are also available. This is also the only place where chemical toilets can be emptied so quite some way from the furthest pitches. There is a motorhome service point of sorts which basically has a grided drain. Water is nearby. Around the site are water and grey water waste points, plus rubbish collection points. TV reception seemed fine with a roof top aerial. Likewise, 4G was good enough the support tethering. We thought this a pretty peaceful site during the week, the only slight intrusion was that there seemed to be a helicopter flight school nearby. The campsite does have a bike hire facility.

The obvious advantage of this site is its close proximity to the town of Glastonbury which is only a short walk from the site. Glastonbury Tor, which can be seen from the site entrance, is also accessible from the town. There are good bus connections to Wells. Also nearby is the Clark’s Outlet Village. For shopping there is a Tesco in Glastonbury or a Waitrose in Wells.
