Lovely Campsite

Our first ever trip in our Motor Home and we chose this site - what a good choice we made. Staff were very friendly, the toilet/ shower areas were perfectly clean and felt good to use. The whole area is clean and very well kept. Dog walking area is excellent. We would definitely recommend to others and we will return.

Very good site, well-run

Stayed three nights early June 2021. Site is very nicely located, easy to find. Had a grass pitch for our camper van, nicely situated close to trees, end of a row. Grass pitches can be muddy after rain, I suspect - our one was, unsurprisingly, but we did have some heavy downpours. Lots of dogs in evidence: there is a designated dog-walking area on site so a fair bit of dog barking-yapping at times. Pitches up the sloping area closest to the road and the tall trees could suffer from traffic noise, I suspect. The site was virtually full throughout our time there with caravans, campers and motorhomes. The two site managers were really excellent - helpful, friendly, informative. Shower block, toilets and washing-up area were kept scrupulously clean, with the Club's Covid-precaution "wrist band-on-the-hook" system of limiting number of folk using the showers/loos. Works well if everyone does what they're supposed to! Very good water/rubbish/grey waste/toilet tank disposal sites, all conveniently located beside the tarmac'ed roadways. Lovely views, well-tended grass areas and shrub beds. Highly recommended and very good value. Thank you to the two Club Managers for a great stay.

Lovely site

This is a lovely site which is well placed for exploring Exmoor and both coasts. The site facilities were kept spotlessly clean and the site itself was very well maintained. We where there for 3 weeks from the 4th of July during which some of the Corvid restrictions were still in place, although this did not cause us any problems it seemed some members did not either acknowledge the need for them or want to adhere to them. The site staff, Martin and Janet, where excellent, very friendly, professional and accommodating, even though there was a shortage of staff, ie there was only 2 of them instead of 4. the staff works 28 days on (without a day off ) then only get 5 days off yet received what I can only say was abusive behavior from some members. The Club should have zero tolerance to such behavior and rescind the members membership. Martin and Janet always kept cheerful and smiling even when considering the difficulties they faced, I cannot praise them enough.

Another lovely stay

I have written before about the benefits of staying at Exebridge, which is why we returned for the 5th time. The wardens were very welcoming, and extremly hard working. The weather this week was pretty poor and the grass pitches soon became water logged, but they were kept open with regular upkeep. I only saw one that was closed. If members are careful, then grass pitches should last all season. Not like the bloke who reversed onto the pitch next to us and then, seeing another that he preferred, spun his wheels pulling off and leaving behind 2 deep furrows. It beggars belief. Regarding road noise, I can see that this would be a problem if you are in a roadside pitch and want to stay on site all day, so get out and enjoy the stunning countryside. The road is very quiet at night though, so sleeping was never a problem. The dog walk area is exceptional, possibly the best of any site we have been to, and the public areas are clean and modern

Beware the roadside pitches.

We have kept our caravan in storage at this site for several years so we could just pitch it on site when we wanted a quiet weekend away. It used to be wonderfully quiet and one or more of the prime pitches was always available when we arrived. That has all changed now. The introduction of seasonal pitches has meant 8 of the 49 hard pitches are always in use by mainly empty caravans and others are 'fully serviced' at extra cost. This means the chances of getting one of the remaining hard pitches on arrival is much reduced and naturally the ones along the main road boundary are the last to go. We arrived at 1.00 pm recently and had to settle for one of these and it was as though were were camped in a lay-by on an 'A' road. If you are happy to go on a grass pitch it is great but if like us, you prefer to keep off the mud then you need to be at the gate at 12 noon or be prepared to make do and move. I have to say the wardens were very sympathetic but the situation is beyond their control as the ability for people to extend their stay online during office closed times means they don't know what pitches will be available for the day.

Another great stay at Lakeside

Well looked after by the Wardens, facilities clean and well maintained, Warden even filling the had sanitisers 06.00. Need to keep your eye out for uneven and pot holes on the A396, partially in the Black Cat junction. Bit of a disappointment the some were not using the band system in the toilets and washrooms, not bothering to hook the band before going in

Lovely Quiet Site

We stayed for 3 nights. Very friendly and informative welcome, good choice of pitches, we chose a grass pitch at the end, not far from the showers, it was very spacious with a large area next us without anyone on. The facilities were kept spotlessly clean and I never had to queue at all. Everyone was observing space and distance regulations. Really easy cycle to Dulverton with great shops and cafe. We also cycled up onto Exmoor which was challenging with steep hills but worth it for fantastic views. Loved our stay there, thank you to the great wardens.

Really good site

This is a marvellous site with lots to see and explore nearby. Dulverton is also a nice place to wander around. The Anchor Inn is a pleasant 5 minute walk away and sells good food at a reasonable price. On arrival, I paid by vouchers and credit card for the remaining balance, so was a little surprised two days later (with only 72 pence cash in my pocket) when I couldn't buy 2 ice creams using my credit card - apparently only cash is accepted for such items!!!!!!!

Fairly remote, narrow roads

Booked 4 nights in May as a stop over from Hillhead. Nice quite site, well kept and friendly staff. Very good dog exercise field. Lovely short walk past lakes to the pub which does excellent take away meals. Unfortunately due to the awful weather the walk to Dulverton was a no go. Would recommend motorhomers taking a small car for ease of access getting around to other places as the approach road, A396, very narrow with some nasty potholes.

NIce site, sort out potholes

Well positioned site for Exmoor and Minehead. Recommend a visit to Castle Hill gardens at Filleigh, east of Barnstable. Lovely clean toilet block, as were all facilities. Road noise is intrusive during rush hours. The pot holes need sorting out by the local authority, at the site entrance. Wardens are smashing and always busy. Road noise would put us off returning soon, Exmoor house a lot quieter site.
