OPEN ALL YEAR CARAVAN PARK WITH NOVEMBER AVAILABILITY
As an open all year caravan touring park, our hardstanding pitches are a great place to park your caravan or motorhome in November. We've rounded up some of the best things to see and do this November in Somerset to help plan your holiday! Read on for concerts; carnivals and the start of the Christmas markets!
See why Somerset was chosen as the Destination of the Month in Out and About Live's Camping Magazine, with Long Hazel Park as the place to stay to experience the county!
​
Somerset has lots to offer all year, but Out and About Live have chosen us as a particularly great out-of-season stay, with recommendations of Wells and Glastonbury featuring high on their list.
​
Our recommendations for the autumn include visiting our local cider farm, King Brain Cider, at just a mile's walk; enjoying our nearby cycle routes; taking in the Somerset spectacle of carnival season or following the trail of King Arthur and the knights of the round table at Cadbury Hillfort.
