Stayed over a very wet and windy New Year weekend. The site was immaculate, showers & toilets all as expected in CC. Wardens very friendly and helpful especially as we arrived nearly an hour early on a busy Friday but were still allowed in to choose our pitch and set up. Pitch 19 was brilliant with non real close neighbours and room for the dog to have a little run, there is a great dog walk on site too so very pet friendly. Despite the site being full never had to queue for facilities. My only issue - recycling, there are no facilities for members to recycle any waste. Everything goes into the big Vidor skips & it says on the skips that recycling done back at the waste centre. I will be surprised if it’s as efficient or cost effective as if it was done on site but I could well be wrong! Great site no road noise of any note and so close to so many things to do you can’t get bored.
Great site, immaculately presented and looked after by a lovely couple.
Weather was dire whilst there but didn’t spoil our time there.. great location and very close to variety of supermarkets should you need them
Will certainly be returning
Very well kept kleen site,as always, with dog area.Wardens very helpful with all the local information etc. Walking distance to the town, local shops and beach. The beautiful village of Dunster is only 3 miles down the road. Exmoor is only a few miles away with amazing walking, views and pubs. We enjoyed it so much we are coming back for christmas, as the site is open all year.
We have been here before in our motorhome. It is well sheltered site in several levels. Only one toilet/shower block. Easy access to Minehead town and beach, ten/fifteen minutes walk. Chippy down the road, five minutes also shops and other take-aways. Pub tucked up in the village, ten minutes walk away.
Lovely walking right from the site through the village and up on to Exmoor. We walked to Dunster for coffee then down to Dunster Beach and back to Minehead along the seafront. Hairy Dog is MInehead is a big busy pub.
Nice walk along past the quay (Old Ship Aground) up through the woods almost to Porlock, to the Burgundy Chapel. You could walk back via North Hill.
Great dog walk on site but too many signs about the danger of sliding down the bank. Why so many signs, one at the stat of the walk is sufficient.
We WILL be back.
Just returned from this site and found it very well kept, Showers and toilets immaculate. The couple running the site were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble and they had time to explain things we needed help with, as this was our very first experience of caravanning, will return again,
Visited for a 3 day break during half term with grandchildren. Site was kept really well & wardens very friendly & welcoming of the children. We didn't miss a play area as there was so much to do within a few miles of the site. Spent a great day at Dunster Castle and another in the forest at Nutcombe Bottom. Easy to walk into the town & to the nearby fish & chip shop. Thoroughly recommend the site as so much to do nearby and wardens are so hospitable.
This was a lovely little site and ideally situated for Exmoor and the coast. It is in within walking distance of the town and three major supermarkets.
We visited Dunster Castle and Lynton and Lynmouth. Porlock is also within a short car drive. As we only live in Newton Abbot we will visit again for a weekend.
We used the site basically to travel on the West Somerset Steam Railway and it all worked out very well. As a motorhomer, and Minehead doesnt seem to like motorhomes, we used the bus up and down. Perhaps the site could have a simple sketch map available to show where the stops are and where to ask the driver to set you down? All in all a very tidy and well run site and a motorhome drain that you CAN drive over!

We have just returned from our annual trip to this site. This site is so convenient to Minehead town and the lovely Exmoor national Park. The site is kept spotless by Helen & Brian the wardens a lovely helpful friendly couple.
We stayed here for 4 nights in our motorhome at the end of September. The site is well maintained and everything was very clean. The wardens were very pleasant and helpful. The site was almost full when we arrived so our choice of pitch was limited. This meant that we did not have the luxury of a level pitch. However, the combination of ramps and a couple of house bricks ( borrowed from one of the wardens) solved the problem.
There is plenty of walking available within easy reach of the site, and the cycle ride and subsequent visit to Dunster Castle is worth doing. However, be warned that there are a few hills to negotiate (particularly towards the end of the ride back), and despite what the Sustrans leaflet says . . . . it is not suitable for small children. Porlock is also worth a look. There is a bus from Minehead town centre, and when you are there we can recommend the very nice walk across the salt marshes to Porlock Weir.
