Key info: * 3-4hrs per day, 2 days off per week * Meals provided * Property maintenance, gardening, animal care and house-sitting * Somerset, England, UK What we are looking for: Mostly its about a "can do" attitude and willingness to get things done whatever the weather or the happiness of the campers. Using a wheel barrow and a shovel are great skills but we can provide instruction with both. Gardening and camping skills are much appreciated but not essential. Laughing and getting dirty is essential Your schedule: Flexible hours, around 3-4 hours a day, 5 days a week Free time to explore the local area

I had two great weeks at the campsite. In the beginning, we needed a little time to get used to each other and figure out what everyone needed. Once that was sorted, we were able to work together really well. I mostly helped Tim with cleaning the yurt, rearranging the belt tent, garden work, and various tasks in the house that needed to be done. I really appreciated that Tim showed me around the area and took me climbing. For me, the campsite was very well located. I didn’t know Somerset, so I was able to discover new places on my days off. After work, I often relaxed in the hammock and enjoyed the peace and nature. It was also really nice that I got in touch with the guests and had a few nice conversations. All in all, it was a good experience and Tim is a great host.

Get close to nature in a beautiful environment. Situated up a private track the 4 acre campsite is sandwiched between woodland and a sweeping valley, with far reaching views to the Severn Estuary and Wales. Peace, quiet, superb sunsets and dark nights. There are long walks over the rolling Mendips or short strolls to a number of proper Somerset pubs.
