Very friendly owners run this in a lovely location (if muddy for tents due to recent rains). Excellent play area and well stocked shop on site. Lots to do and see in the local area.
Due to the size of the site there aren't enough showers to accommodate everyone without long queues, plus the family/disabled bathroom will cost you an additional £3 every time simply to borrow the key! On the plus side the hot water is indeed hot and no 20p nonsense for the showers.
Pool is a lovely addition but the owners close it at 5.30 each day so if you go out for the day the chances are that you wont get back in time to use it.
Having selected this site based on reviews and the location, really efficient communication when booking. We were met by friendly owners, who gave us a choice of three pitches close to the entrance (more in a moment) The site is lovely for us if it were adults only it would be heaven!
From late afternoon the noise levels rise to a caucophony and then by 21.00 dies away to peace and quiet.
The facilities were really clean, but two toilets in the gents and just three showers means that a wait is inevitable.
Other reviews mentioned the bogginess of pitches in the rain. I cant comment on the pitches in the wood. However. By luck more than judgement our bedroom pod was on harder ground, the rain started late eve, 7 hours later we woke to a swamp around the front of the tent! Drainage is an issue on the field near the entrance. Overall a lovely site, slightly expensive.But friendly courteous service.Nice woodland walks.
This was our 3rd visit to Alpine grove in 2 years, and not our last, the owners Richard and Helen could not be more welcoming, with each visit you can see the improvements they are making. This time we were in a group of 3 families and were given flat open area to pitch our tents, the children had soon disappeared to play on the trampoline and explore the wood (this camp site feel's very safe for children).
The facilities were clean and pleasant, although the shower could have been a tad warmer.
On the second night we hired a firepit complete with log's forks, sausages & marshmallows, and all sat round it till the small hours, the kid's thought it was brill.
A lovely day on the beach at lime regis (25 mins away) the next day completed a great weekend.
Have already booked a return trip. Highly Recommended
Oh forgot to say this site is dog friendly, we took our lab along and she had a great time as well
We went to Alpine Grove as a group of 4 families in tents and we loved it!
The woodland location makes it great for sitting in the shade if you want to but also there are some great exposed areas to bathe in the sunshine (which we had a lot of)
We were allocated an area to set up in and were basically left to it, no restrictions as to you must pitch facing this way etc.
The owner Richard is extremely helpful and offered to kit us out with a fire pit if we needed one, along with logs, and even marshmallows. We certainly enjoyed the toasting and setting fire to our marshmallows.
The kids loved the woods and the swimming pool. And the play area was a big hit.
The showers always seemed available in the ladies (not sure about the mens) whenever you went to visit them.
Great shop that stocks the essentials, and the luxuries if you need them (Such as Magnums and soleros!)
Good woodland site with open grassy areas as well as wooded areas
Excellent facilities for kids - kids can explore the site safely, use the play area with swings, slides and trampoline, use the open air swimming pool
Good clean toilets, showers and washing up facilities, inc. Coin operated laundry
Very friendly owners who ran a little shop as welll which was useful for stuff like bacon, free range eggs, etc
Areas for improvement - showers could be warmer and more powerful. Lights in loos are movement sensitive so if you are in the loo for a little while you could be left in the dark. But these are very minor things. Required minimum 4 days booking over a bank holiday.
Overall an excellent site with lots to do in the area - we went to the seaside (Lyme Regis) which is 25 mins away by car.
Set in the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - the Mendip Hills. There are 90 grass and hardstanding pitches some with hookup, for tents, caravans and motorhomes. The well laid out site has excellent shower and toilet facilities, including a family room, plus a laundry room and a well-stocked licensed shop selling local produce. Non members are welcome to book!
You can walk to the village of Priddy where you`ll find a popular pub serving food and the Priddy Good Farm Shop, selling a range of locally produced food. There are many attractions in this area of Somerset and the south west including Bath and Weston-super-Mare, and the site is ideally located, midway between Cheddar Gorge and Wells.

My husband and I stayed at Alpine grove on Sunday night. We only stayed for one night, on our way down to Truro from London. The weather was lovely when we got there and we pitched our tent and had a wonder around the site. The facilities here are second to none, we will certainly be back with our 8 year old to enjoy the children's play area and pool! Even though we packed our soaked tent up at 6:30am - we have found a gem in this site!
My first encounter with this site was when booking on the telephone. The man I spoke to was chatty and helpful - great first impression. When we rang for directions, he was patient and helpful. On arrival in the area, we were immediately impressed. The site is completely flat with trees. We were told to pitch wherever we liked as they weren't full. You're not put in rows, you can go where you fancy. There is a small shop in the reception area, a swimming pool, and great facilities. I suspect that the toilet block has had a fairly recent revamp - it all looks new inside, very clean and spacious. Washing up facilities were great, and laundry was available. The site encourages recycling and there were bins behind the toilet block for this too. We weren't there long enough to check out the surrounding area, we were using it to break up a long journey - but I would definitely stay there again and visit the local attractions, which include a wildlife park and an abbey. Overall, highly recommended. Good price, excellent facilities and lovely staff.
This small and very pretty site has new owners again from when we last visited. They have extended the facilities, but the standard could be better. I can imagine these may not be adequate at peak times. You can choose a pitch anywhere there is hookup around the site, there are lots of trees and shrubs making it all very cosy. There is a small play area and not much open space for children's games.
They now have log cabins to rent out which we were able to have a look at inside, they are of a very high quality.
The site is in a good location, being not too far from the coast and several attractions. The local town of Chard has everything you need, and Taunton is not too far.
Despite rotten weather, we really liked this site. It was lovely to have pitches that weren't in rows and to be tucked in among the trees.
There is a good sized play area for children, a small but attractive pool and the excellent facility of dog-sitting, in case you want to visit an attraction where dogs aren't allowed.
The loos and showers are clean and well kept and the family who run the site are really friendly and helpful.
We also really enjoyed being able to hire a fire pit for the night, which came with a large supply of logs and forks to toast sausages and marshmallows - a hit with all the family.
We had a lovely three days at this site. The children loved the trampoline, park and woods. It was very wet whilst we were there and the ground was quite boggy. Quite a few pitches are definitely not suitable for tents. If you are in a caravan you pitch on gravel so dont have these problems. Many tents had to pitch on the bogs as no other pitches available. You pay full settlement six weeks prior so no refunds!

Arrived in the pouring rain to find both our reserved pitches were available earlier than expected as previous occupants had left earlier due to the wet weather- I know now why! We had to dig trenches around our 2 pitches (H + I) as the ground was so muddy and waterlogged. I expected the site to be larger as only the front of the entire site was dedicated to campers. The rest was woodland, which was great for the kids to explore and they loved it. We asked for a wooded area and we got it, just a shame it was so exposed to the rest of the site as it was right by the main entrance and alongside the road, although it was an unbusy road.
Owner Richard and his wife were both very friendly and helpful. Their 2 dogs were delightful, loved the slipper dog as we called it! Kids loved the site and swam in pool despite the weather. Washrooms/showers were cleaned daily and very good and never crowded.
Overall, it was a good, generally quiet and well run campsite only marred by the constant wet weather and the oiks on the next pitch next to us - nothing that Richard could have helped - other than to have asked them to perhaps leave given the 'dogs should not cause a disturbance' notice on all loo doors?!
Just returned home after one week at Alpine grove, and I feel I have to say that Richard and his wife Helen and of course Richards mother and father were so helpful and polite, and couldn't do enough for us, however the weather was terrible from the start and the best day was friday the day we went home.
The site got very very boggy, worse in the tent fields and drainage was not very good so we woke up every day with a pond in our Awning.
The main let down was there was only one toilet block to serve the whole site and with only two toilets and two showers we found ourselves waiting on many occasions.
Talking to local people in near by Chad, told us that the campsite sits in a Valley that always has the grey rain clouds over, and I must say that this seemed true enough because as we went further in to Devon the weather got somewhat better with lots of sun and no rain, and on our return Guess what! it was raining at the campsite.
Over all we had a lovely holiday despite the weather. Pool was great especially in the rain really was clean and very warm, 82 most days in the water, would return if weather was guaranteed, obviously not though! and another shower and toilet block was put closer to the tent field to cut down some of the traffic.
We also found the 10 amp electric hook up system very annoying as it kept on tripping out every 30 seconds or so and found we could not have more than one electric appliance working in the caravan and we had to abandon our electric kettle and use the gas stove to boil the water as the 10 amps could not cope! would off been so much better with 16 amp!
Lovely quiet site with welcoming hosts. Richard showed us the various pitches available and allowed us to take our pick. There are 2 log cabins available on site too.
Facilities are first class but be aware the lights on the toilets are on a motion sensor and you can find yourself sat in the dark if not careful late at night! Lovely little swimming pool.
Site is a good base for sight seeing, with both Cricket St Thomas and the excellent Forde Abbey very close by.
All in all an excellent place to stay if you want a nice and quiet time (well apart from the rooks) and will be going back soon I hope.
We spent our second week of a fortnight holiday here.
Arriving at this site from the previous site was a little disappointing.
From open spaces in the sun to our new pitch in the shade of trees. From luxury toilet block previously to this toilet block.
Dont get us wrong this is a lovely site with friendly, helpful owners in a good rural location. Its just that we were a little spoilt with the site where we spent our first week.
The swimming pool is a little small, but it is FREE, the toilets are clean but a little dated now, small shop/reception.
Once the initial disappointment had passed we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will probably return to in the future
Alpine Grove is a perfect quiet site set in beautiful surroundings. It is set in level woodland with Rhododendron bushes everywhere, which give excellent secluded, spacious pitches.
The facilities are excellent, toilets clean and showers always hot.
There is a play area with swings, slides and a trampoline, but also a couple of dens have been built within the Rhododendron bushes. A childs haven!
The pool wasn't yet open when we were there, but looked lovely and clean, and safe for the children.
The owners, Richard and Helen are very welcoming and friendly, as are their two dogs, Freddie and Murphy!
It is a very dog friendly site with lots of walks close by. There is a dog sitting service available which is an excellent bonus.
Alpine Grove is the perfect place to stay if you like peace and quiet and enjoy being surrounded by trees rather than people! A wonderful site.
