 We had a week at this site. A great location, don't let the fact it is up a steep hill put you off.

We walked our dog across exmoor on so many paths. It was beautiful and so peaceful. Be aware of ticks though. We bought a tick puller from a local chemist. There are paths into Minehead from the back of the site. You can get a taxi back if necessary.

Great views but you are on a hill. We had to use our chocks to get level. We were on hardstanding but those on grass were on a real slope. One tent moved position after their first night as they kept falling off their airbed!

The site was never busy, the managers said that the hill put so many off. The facilities were old but very clean. The only thing I didn't like was the managers, although very friendly, could often be seen smoking outside the site shop or as they were cutting the grass. I just don't think it is professional but just my opinion.

Would we go back? Probably not as no kids play area and no ball games allowed. Shame really but not that suited to families. So peaceful we felt we had to keep telling our son to be quiet.

Loads of things to do in the area. But don't tell everyone as it would be a shame to spoil it!

 Stayed 3 nights at end of May. Definitely need chocks as quite severe incline in parts. But compensated for by wonderful views of Minehead Bay.

Small shop at reception for essentials. Friendly owners.

The Ladies (and I believe Gents) has 5 toilets, 3 showers and 4 sinks. Absolutely immaculate even though not a new block. Like the poster said: 'So clean you think you're at home' All water very, very hot and unlimited.

Two washing up sinks - again spotless, with non stop hot water.

Very steep climb to get there but would definitely return.

 Fantastic little site with lovely sea views. The site managers were really nice and very helpful. Toilets and showers very clean with plenty of hot water. Lovely walk into Minehead through the woods and loads to do. Blue Anchor and Watchet well worth a visit. You can walk back from Blue Anchor along the coastal path and also walk to porlock. We walked back to the site one day from the harbour following the signs to the beacon and were rewarded with fantastic sea views. We would thoroughly recommend this site nice and peaceful with lots of wildlife to see including red deer and exmoor ponies. The moors are right opposite the site so would be fantastic for dog owners

 Had a great few days here, site is clean but on a bit of a slope. Very quiet, we ready like it here, most campers are great. Overall we had a great time. Cant wait to back there, the kids love this site for the walks and wildlife, which is great for 4 boys who like to run wild at times.

Nice town (Minehead) 45 mins walk, best get taxis back up, great times walking. Lots of places to go as well

 Well I think this is a wonderful site. It's small, quiet and quite basic but has the most amazing views.

Practically it is a steep drive to the site but easily manageable if you check out the route beforehand. Pitches aren't level but that just adds to the fun (it is on a hill). All the wardens have done a fantastic job, the toilet block although small and dated is spotless. (3 showers, 5 loos in the ladies)

Walk out of the site and you'll encounter, Red deer, ponies and adders and the most fantastic scenery and walking you could ever want.

The site is very quiet and I hope it remains this way, can't wait to return.

 Brilliant site. Used it for a number of years before family and this trip was our first as a family with a dog.

Given a pitch usually used by camper vans as we wanted electric so was a bit of a nightmare to peg out but once sussed we were fine.

Site wonderful and clean, and wardens have done a fab job in there short time.

Showers with a little one are entertaining at the best of times, but there was plenty of space and no line for them.

Views fantastic, I grew up in Minehead so know where most things are, however, the beach is a no go with dogs at certain times so we had to drive to Dunster.

Great spot for using as a base to explore the surrounding area, however, be warned during our stay there was a very very noisy Cockeral down the road at 5am! It was nice to hear St Michael's church bells un-muffled on Friday night brought back many many happy memories!

 DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR SAT NAV! Go to the Esplanade and then up Blenheim Road to North Hill keep going it is on the very top over the cattle grid!

We had a lovely greeting from Pete and Yvonne, they have only been on the site 3 weeks but have already done a lot of work to improve things.

Facilities clean, Very quiet site, just what we were looking for.

Bring your levellers it is a bit slopey. Wonderful walk down to town through the woods but if you are lazy like us get a Taxi back up.

Accepts non members, check the price if not.

 After a week in Minehead Butlins with our nephew, this was a welcome relief.

With Minehead just a 30-45 minute walk away, down a steep valley, it makes it a perfect start to all the walkers out there. Even a few hundred yards further up the road is the start of many walks.

The site itself is on a hill, although there are many 'flat' areas to pitch up. We had a great one that had a hole in the surrounding tree fence, overlooking the sea, with Butlins in the far distance

This site is not for the feint of heart. The ascent/decent through the narrow village roads is however well worth it.

Facilities are just right, with shower blocks, a wash/dryer room, and washing up room

The only bad side was where we were pitched, near the trees, children would often come and play within these areas, as there is no play area. We did get woken up a few times.

If you fancy a day out on a nice day, the Valley of Rocks, or Lorna Doone Valley, is only an hours drive way, well worth a visit.

Or the Minehead Steam Railway is in the centre of town.

Not forgetting if you do have kids, Butlins is only 10 minutes away by car.

If you are trying to decide on sites in this area, make this site your priority.

 OK site, handy for Minehead, but there are more picturesque places to stay on and around Exmoor. This place is more an alternative to a B&B than a camping experience. 30 mins walk to the centre of Minehead, but the site is on the busy A39, so not quiet if you're on that site of the site.

Very expensive! £18 for 2 of us and a Bongo. Then you have to pay for showers and hot water on top! Never paid for water on a campsite before.

Reviewer: Toastieboy 1 review from this member

 Had a great time at this site. People were great very clean site and was well up on the hills with great views and lovely place to walk on the hills, as for them I only one word wowwwww

The shower block was clean and well looked after. I would be coming back to this site again.

Its very handy to get to Minehead which takes about 5 mins in the car but there is a foot path on site with a great walk in the woods which takes about 30mins
