The site is in a woodland setting but only 1 mile from the seafront and not far from Exmoor.
We had a lovely stay. The wardens were welcoming and everything was as we would expect it to be. Many places to visit nearby especially Dunster Castle and gardens - very family friendly and one could spend 2-3 days looking round the castle, grounds and facilities. We plan to go back sometime this month.
Hopcott in Minehead is a fantastic site, and the wardens so helpful, friendly and hard working. Thank you Tony and Helen 😁
Minehead, is a lovely little town on the edge of Exmoor with loads of great little shops and very dog friendly in many of the eating establishments!
The site is immaculately clean, tidy and very well organised. The facilities are so well kept that it's like being at home!
The dog walking area is also fantastic, however some guests do abuse this facility and do not pick up!! The wardens cannot be responsible for this, dog owner's must be more respectful of other users.
Tony and Helen, along with Trevor and Sally are excellent hosts.
Nice Site
We had some problems in levelling our motorhome, but had a good stay at the site. toilets and showers were clean, the wardens were very friendly. we liked the walk to the city and the beach.
There is a fire station nearby - but there was no alarm - so only noise came from the street which didn't disturb our dreams.
Hillside site
This is a good little site. The pitches all seem to be sloping and levelling blocks are needed, even then we weren't quite level. There's only one chemical disposal site and it's a bit of a treck down the hill to it. Otherwise very good, and easy to walk into Minehead.
Good location, small site
A small site that I initially described as cramped but after a weeks stay a fairer analysis is ‘snug’. Most of the pitches are much smaller than normal with cars parked across the front rather than to the side but it actually didn’t matter and gave it a cosy feel rather than cramped.
The wardens who were there for our week were very friendly, helpful and worked very hard to keep the site spotless and the lovely flower baskets looking their very best.
The site itself needs some updating including some levelling of pitches and more modern showers etc but the WiFi was good and, as previously stated, punches above its weight despite its faults thanks to the hard work of the wardens.
There is a nice easy walk into Minehead past some useful and convenient local shops and services including an excellent Fish & Chip shop and Indian restaurant.
The steam train is a good day out with a little planning as to where you want to get off and explore / visit as is Dunster Castle and village. Minehead itself has little it no life after about 6pm apart from a couple of amusement arcades. Even the fish and chip shop in the main shopping street was shut by 7pm on Friday (although there was a kiosk near the front/ station open. Lovely beach though (no dogs in the summer with no alternative offered that we could see) and a good location for many places in North Somerset/ Exmoor by either public transport or car.

Lovely site
Lovely site, well maintained by the friendly wardens. Beautiful flower arrangements on entry. We chose pitch number 50 which was great as it was right next to the water point and recycling. An ideal site for adults as there is no children play area or facilities. Great for walking into Minehead and very conveniently located for visits to some beautiful Somerset locations. Toilet and shower block was spotless, information room was well stocked with leaflets. Shower pressure could have been a little better but wasn't that much of a problem. Excellent WIFI signal which was an added bonus. Would definitely visit again. Thank you for making our stay an enjoyable one.

Dead end cause hassle
After a 3hr drive to get here, we was in a queue to get in so the lady warden told us to go take a look around and stand on the pitch we wanted,, well all the site had dead ends to it so motor homes were OK but if you had a caravan it proved quite difficult to reverse out of. I'm glad we got there when we did,, we had pitch 8 right in the front at the beginning of the site thank god,, very busy tho with cars vans etc all day back and for,, not ideal place for kids.. no park either.. the park itself was very clean and tidy and the shower block was fab.. the site is only a 10 min walk into minehead itself and shop also with in walking distance,, was told that the dog walking area was good also.. we got chatting to a lady on the first Nite who she herself spoke loudly to have a visit off the warden to be a bit quite,it was only 10pm.. knowing that there was a family at the other end of the park being noisy and playing guitar at the same time , I was a bit taken aback,, well the lady was only there 10 mins and went.. I think it was because we were near the wardens motor home, and they wanted to go to sleep.. any way bed we went after that... the next morning we could see her talking to the guy next to their van only to here she was asking him if he wod move as some1 rang to request that pitch.. I was gobsmacked. The man did move at some point of the day.. I'm sorry I wodnt have, I didn't know you could book pitches,, and the motor home that did go there werent disabled, so I didn't see why the man had to move.. over all tho loved goin back to minehead town nothing has changed there. Still lots of charity shops and pubs etc.. had lovely walk along the promenade to the ship pub.. very welcoming .. wod we return.. not for a while, it's all the same so seen minehead again now after a few years. Hubby had never been so glad we went for him..
wonderful week in july
This is a well located site, within walking distance to Minehead, about 10-15 mins. Also just up the road are local shops, co-op, bakery, fish and chip shop. Also good place to go out from to visit nearby attractions. Dunster is a lovely town and just a short drive away. Dog friendly beach just a walk down the prom to the golf club. Wardens are excellent and work very hard to keep the site looking good. A very enjoyable week in July and to make it even better the weather was glorious.
First visit to Minehead
This was our first visit to the Minehead site. The site is well located within easy walking distance of the centre of Minehead following the instructions given by the warden. If you want to venture further afield then the bus service is good running at half hourly interval during the weekdays and obviously less frequent on the weekend.
If you have a dog there is an on site dog walk not the largest but more than adequate for the first and last ablutions of the day. If you want to go to the beach with your 🐕 dog the you will be out of luck from the 1st May until September. I believe that the beach at Blue Anchor is dog friendly but you will either need your car or have to take the motorhome.
The centre of Minehead still has a variety of shops including their fair share of charity ones.
Satellite TV reception is a possibility providing you are on a suitable pitch avoiding the 🌲 trees.
Despite the nearness to a main road there was very little noise at night.
Not ideal for young family members as there are no facilities on site for letting off steam.
The route from the M5 with a larger unit can be a little"hairy" at times as the road in parts is narrow, I unfortunately meet a 32 tonner and had to get within touching distance of the hedgerow and left it to the driver of the lorry to squeeze through. There are also a few unforgiving walls!! All in all, just take your time.
The facilities are up to the usual club standard.
Second time we have been to the site
The site was very clean and tidy. The staff were very helpful and could not do enough. Watch out for ticks if you are a dog owner
