Facilities were very clean, we used the toilet block and dishwashing more than usual during a four night stay as we had a problem with water in the caravan. Always clean and we didn't have to queue. Site was fairly full as this was Easter bank holiday. We had a pitch in the middle which was on a corner and felt quite private. There is noise from the adjoining static holiday parks . Some pitches along the edge are very close to to the statics and I would want to avoid those. There is a play park for smaller children and a ball court. A very very small dog walk by the play areas. A walk to the beach along a narrow road with bends which could be tricky with small children, through a lovely nature reserve to the beach - about 10 - 15 minutes. We went for long walks on Brean Down, which was beautiful with a very interesting Victorian fort which was also used in WW2, and along Cheddar Gorge from the National Trust information centre. Also long walks along the beaches. Tides go out a very long way leaving mud and quicksand. The wardens were friendly, efficient and helpful and had organised an Easter treasure trail for younger children.
Disappointed
We stayed for three nights over Easter, the site was nice but unfortunately the same can’t be said for the wardens who were unfriendly and unhelpful most unlike any wardens we have met on previous sites, who normally can’t do enough to help. No information given about motorhome facilities on arrival and when we asked for information on local dog walks, we were just told to go to the beach, accurate but nor helpful as we like to explore the local areas. The site was clean and tidy with good size pitches but unfortunately let down by the lack of cleanliness in all the toilets both ladies and gents, not a site we will be returning to.
Lovely site
Arrived for Easter , met by lovely wardens , knew we wanted to be next door to our friends , they pointed us to two grass pitches together , toilets lovely and clean showers lovely and warm , dog walk area very small , however lovely walks near by and so close to the lovely beach walks , where you can let dogs off the leads . Totally recommend this site everyone very friendly and the Wardens were so friendly .
Clean, Tidy Site
This is a nice site with a lot of good sized hard standing pitches and a clean well maintained facilities block. The dog walk is a very small area and suitable only for a late night early morning use and the road outside site is very narrow and not really suitable for walking dogs.
There was quite a lot of noise from adjacent sites at the weekend which could be annoying in school holidays and very busy periods. We stayed here the first week of April and would have extended our stay for a further five nights had the prices not jumped up by nearly £10 per night two weeks before Easter.
A comfortable site
We have stayed at Hurn Lane four times this year and have not yet found anything to complain about. We love it there as the ground is flat and we stayed on Service pitches which are very spacious. All amenities are exceptionally clean and the site is kept tidy at all times. It centres many places of interest but is lovely just to stay on the site. The wardens are very friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. They work very hard so we can all enjoy our stays there.
Lovely Site
We enjoyed 4 nights here in early September on a serviced pitch, which was very good. The wardens were friendly and looked after the site very well. We enjoyed fish and chip night.
It was nice to be able to walk to the beach down the lane in about 10 mins, although there is no footpath. We also walked the 4 miles down the beach to the cafe at Brean.
We shall visit again.
Dog exercise area too small.....
Hurn Lane Club Site is well laid-out and landscaped, so doesn’t feel cramped when busy. The facilities are up to the usual standard but perhaps a little tired - is a refresh on the cards? There seem to be too few hooks in the ladies’ shower/privacy cubicles, so a couple more in each would be appreciated! The dog exercise area, however, is much too small and would not suit nervous dogs/owners as they would literally be cheek-by-jowel with others. The walk to the beach is via a narrow twisty lane with no footpath, and across the busy coast road, not ideal for those of us with dogs or children as the lane is well-used by vehicles and the blind bends can be intimidating. The Warden and staff are very helpful and friendly,and organise for fish and chips to be brought to the site on Wednesdays and Saturdays if you order before 5pm - they were among the best we have tasted!
Overall, the site is well worth a visit and is ideally placed for access to North Somerset and its attractions (Wells, Cheddar, etc.), but just be aware that access/egress on foot is not ideal.
Experience and Wardens
First time visiting a site outside schools holidays - it was so peaceful. The wardens were excellent giving little tips on how to make the stay more enjoyable. The dogs loved the beach especially late afternoon when fewer people were about, and you did not have to pay for the car to go on it. Will visit again.
One star for “good for families” as I cannot comment as family implies children.

Good........But
Nice clean & tidy site. Generally quiet with good sized pitches although I’m not sure the same could be said about it during the school holidays as it is surrounded by larger caravan sites.
Our main problem with two dogs was that although the site states it does have a dog walk area it is only really suitable for Chihuahuas. it is probably no more than 30mtrs in length so not even suitable for morning or evening toiletries.
We would not return purely because of the dog walking issue as it is extremely awkward to walk down the small lane outside the site with fairly heavy traffic for the size of road.

We’re going back
We stayed over for one night on our way to Cornwall. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The site was very well kept, they should get bonus points.
We arrived on the Fish & Chip night but decided to go into Burnham-on-Sea and visited the actual shop - we were not disappointed, really good.
On our way home from Cornwall and assuming it is not bad weather we intend to stop there for 2 or 3 nights.
Thanks to the wardens and we hope the trainee wardens passed their assessment with flying colours.
