Woofy’s Dog Field

If you're camping near Street with a dog that needs to burn off energy, Woofy's Dog Field is a proper lifesaver. It's exactly what it sounds like - an open space where your pooch can run about freely without the lead, chase a ball, and generally behave like a dog should. The field is a few minutes' drive from Street itself, and it's the kind of place where you'll see everything from anxious rescues finally understanding they can play, to absolutely mental spaniels tearing around like their tails are on fire.

The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon, when it's quieter and your dog won't get mobbed by every other terrier in Somerset. Mid-afternoon on a weekend? Packed. It's free to use, which is brilliant, and you can stay as long as you need - most dogs are done in forty minutes or so, though the obsessive ball-chasers could go on for hours if you'd let them.

Families camping at Bobsfield Campsite just up the road will find this invaluable for keeping their dogs happy while they're staying put. Even if you're further afield at Old Oaks Touring or Tall Trees Glamping, it's worth the short drive if your dog is getting cabin fever. Not a replacement for a proper walk, but if you're parked up for a few days and need a place where your dog can be a dog without you worrying about roads or sheep, it does the job well.
