 Don’t let the approach road fool you this site is clean tidy and well laid out around a small lake, the main amenities block is new with 5? rooms each with showers toilets and hand basins, very clean too.

Pitches are all hard standing (my first, and only, dislike, why put in hard stands and not make them level?) pitches 5, 6 and 7 are north facing with large hedges behind so only see the sun first thing in the morning’s.

The location of the site 600 metres from the vast Weston S Mare beach and at the centre of a network of footpaths and nature reserves is a massive draw for visitors.

There are 2 pubs and a small shop within easy walking distance. It’s very quiet at night and peaceful during the day.

All in all a very nice site for a few days of walking, sitting relaxing looking over the lake and its wildlife, or a longer stay to explore the vast amount of tourist attractions on the doorstep and beyond.

The perfect site should never be found because if I find it and you agree that’s the end of the game!

 Great site around a small lake near Weston Super Mare. Two pubs and a cafe very local to site.

There is also a shop in Uphill for newspapers. Wifi and TV reception is not too good due to location.

Nice walks to Weston and Blean if you need it also cycling if its your thing. Good for us motorhomers to pitch up.

There is now a new washblock with unisex cubicles and a washing up area. They were still being completed when we were there. They are much nicer than the old block, but the hanging hooks are a bit small and we found the floors wet from showers.

They ventilation could be better

 Just back from a week at uphill marina and the site really has two sides to it!

Then campsite part where you park around the lake it fantastic mainly level hardstanding pitches so with a grass area grass around the lake and the pitches is kept cut by the robot lawnmower that goes abiut it's business daily.

There's a fantastic cafe literally just outside of the main electric gate the beach is 5 minute walk and there's two pubs within a 10 minute wa both dog friendly and serves decent pub food.

NOW for the other side of the campsite: the toilet and shower blocks were inadequate for the number of pitch and also possibly the worse we have come across and really do let the site down massively. You can't use them at all between 10:30pm and 7am for some unknown reason that wasn't explained to us at all. Neither was that our pitch was the light coloured stones and the "footpath" was the dark so we had to move of windbreaker in about 3 inches which then left no room to have the awning out!

It really does pain me to leave negative comments as I was talking to the owner and she was really nice but these issues really need addressing soon as the facilities really do let what could be a fantastic site.

I have based my scores on the current facilities of the site.

 Lovely site but spoilt by facilities that let it down badly.

We had stayed here about 6 years ago, in the winter, prior to the new owners, and had hoped they'd have updated the facilities. A bit disappointed to be honest because they have obviously spent money elsewhere and for us (and lots of others we spoke to) the facilities are an important part of the experience.

That being said the view from most of the pitches is stunning (depending on where you're pitched). Our pitch was large with a great view, but I think we would've been disappointed had we been on number 5 or 6.

No recycling on site, just 2 large bins near the entrance.

The site felt very secure with electric gates at the entrance.

Easy, friendly check in as they text you the gate code on the morning of your arrival and you've also paid in full by then.

The Boathouse cafe/bistro (doggie friendly) is just outside the site and worth a visit. We had breakfast there one morning and it was lovely and not over priced.

2 pubs in the village. We only had a drink in one of them, The Ship.

Steep walk up to the church but well worth it for the views.

Nature reserve and walk to Brean directly from the site too.

Easy walk into Weston-super-Mare, along the beach, and beyond.

We would love to go back sometime, but probably not until the facilities have been renewed.

 Stunnng campsite. Such beautiful views. Peaceful & relaxed.

Toilet/shower blocks clean & tidy.

Will revisit for longer next time !

 What a brilliant site. Booking recommended as a few of the people I spoke to only managed to get in due to cancellation.

You can choose your pitch when you book but was told that they may not be doing that in future.

We were in pitch 5 which is nice and shaded thank goodness as needed it in the hot days. Not good for telly lovers as no signal but that didn’t bother us.

Spotless facilities.

People who run it are lovely. As said on other reviews good bus service just at end of road of site.

Great cafe/Bistro just outside gates. Nice to stop on way back on hot days to have a lovely homemade ice cream or milk shake.

It’s also doggie friendly.

The site also sells ice cream and lollies.

Would highly recommend this site.

Lovely views of the sunsets and very quiet

 Lovely, quiet site. All pitches looking on to the small lake.

5 minutes from huge sandy beach, 20 minute amble along beach to Weston prom. With all its attractions.

Also nice country walks behind site.

N. B. Due to the lake I wouldn't consider the site as child friendly and the last 800 yds or so of the approach road could be awkward if towing a large unit due to parked vehicles reducing the usable width of the road.

 Spent 3 nights at uphill. Marina. Directions to the site along with how to access the site were fine.

Pitch was reasonably sized, with EHU, and all pitches face the lake. Showers are basic but are clean, could do with a stool in the cubicle.

Two pubs in the village, both serve food. Nice walk from the site along the beach to Weston, also a bus stop at the site entrance.

Good walks from the site.

Nice peaceful site.

 Great little site around a small lake, near Weston-Super-Mare.

Facilities are okay, but the green toilet unit could be improved/modernised. It has no ventilation and can be smelly at times. The shower and toilet block at the entrance better but not so conveniently placed.

That said the site has also had new owners during the last couple of years. They do seem to be slowly improving things. They also run the marina which has been tidied and upgraded.

There are two pubs, a shop and a restaurant a short walk away. You are also very near the beach and can walk to Weston Super Mare easily.

 Just spent an excellent four nights at this campsite.

The location is fantastic with numerous walks available direct from the campsite.

There are plenty of places to explore (eg Cheddar Gorge and Weston-Super-Mare).

We did not use the showers so cannot comment on them (see previous reviews) but the toilet block seemed adequate as did all the other facilities we used.

The cafe just outside the entrance is very recommendable.

 Lovely peaceful site,

Close to walking and cycling paths to Brean and Weston.

5 minute walk to the beach, about 30 minutes along the beach to Weston.

Can't fault the site, we loved it and will be back!

 Excellent site beautifully laid out, however, the toilet/shower facilities are limited and restricted to 15 minutes.

Our friend, who is disabled, found it very difficult to shower, dress all in 15 minutes and got very upset about this.

Reviewer: MrNikon 1 review from this member

 The site is in a good position on the outskirts of Weston Super Mare. The National Cycle route passes by the front gate. The staff are friendly and accommodating. I asked for guidance on a couple of occasions and my request was dealt with quickly and completely.

Although the site in general is very flat, my pitch was not and I could not get the motorhome level even using ramps.

The shower cubicles are on the small side consequently the floor is wet and dirty from entering the shower cubicle with your shoes on. The showers are single electric units. The floor is tiles with nothing to stand on when drying.

The site does not provide facilities for re-cycling plastic, glass or other recyclable products.
