Date of Visit: November 2014 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Faytaylor 9 reviews from this member

 Stayed on this campsite for two nights. It is advertised as Uphill Marine Centre but its sign=posted Uphill Boat Centre which was a bit confusing when looking for it in the dark. Woke up to a lovely view of the lake with ducks swimming up to us to say hello. There is a beautiful Nature Reserve with a lovely walk for dogs right by the site. Very close to the beach and town of Weston-Super-Mare. Toilets and Shower was very clean and there is a cafe just outside the site. Really enjoyable stay. Only down side for me was that the pitches are quite close together and cars coming in and out through the night with people talking outside. I thought it was a bit expensive for the time of year.

 Great little site, just what we needed.

8 metre motor home no problem to manoeuvre and park.

Walks just outside entrance to field's, and as said, five minutes

Out the entrance and your on the beach.

Two pubs a couple of minutes walk away, a convenience store around the corner, and a cafe also just outside the gate.

No noise from the boatyard, but quite a busy footpath alongside the campsite, and if like us you have dogs, they can be bothered by the comings and going's.

Toilets and showers were spotless, and although not numerous, never had to wait to use as only a small site anyway.

We were lucky when we got there as pitch 2 was empty and we pulled right up at the water tap to fill up. If a unit had been there we would have needed a long hose. There is a second tap by the toilets/rubbish bins/ elsan point, but again I think a longer hose than we had would be needed.

Would definitely recommend this site, but small children would have to be watched as you are right by the side of a lake. 


Date of Visit: November 2014 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Singingcavy 23 reviews from this member

 What a delightful site. We took our small campervan there for a night and were so impressed. Things that many sites get wrong - simple stuff - they got right. For example, the sparkling clean shower curtains keep water from clothes which have lots of hooks to hang them on; the shower was hot and plentiful - one of the ladies' is next to the office and in a proper bathroom! Water, washing up, recycling and rubbish are all very tidy and clean. Spaces were sufficient and marked by flower pots, and the flat surface was all hard standing but looked out onto the lake and hillside. Booking was done by phone and paid for in advance but we were pleased to meet the hard-working and friendly Ron. The site cannot be faulted.

The location is delightful - a quiet spot with superb location of interest, not far from Weston Super Mare with lots of walks and good cycling (route 33) from the site. Loved it here and will return.

 Very enjoyable stay, facilities very good, close to Weston, good pubs nearby. We were sited overlooking the lake it is a quiet site although it was November. There are walks nearby and a cycle route. Will certainly return. Would certainly recommend it, also the carnival that is held in Weston is well worth seeing.

Reviewer: Muddtfunkstarr 29 reviews from this member

 Had a 3 night stay in our Motorhome, Hardstanding pitch with EHU, between the lake and the creek. Lovely site, clean facilities, a little noise throughout the day, but as stated it's a working boatyard so was expecting noise. That said, it didn't detract from a lovely stay. A 5 minute stroll to the beach and a 30 minute walk into Weston. Lovely walks across the marshes and up to the church on the hill. Brilliant views. 2 pubs and an Italian restaurant in the village. The Food in the Ship is outstanding. Handy well stocked village shop, and a cafe just outside the boat yard. Would most certainly recommend.

Date of Visit: August 2014 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Badgolfert 6 reviews from this member

 Great little site, very clean and tidy with two brilliant pubs within walking distance of the site, the food was great in both. 30 minutes walk along the beach to Weston Super Mare. There is a cafe just outside the entrance but we did'nt need to use it, a nice base to go walking or cycling from, we would recommend a visit. 


Date of Visit: July 2014 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Cassi 13 reviews from this member

 This is a very well kept, tidy and interesting site. There are showers and toilets, which are spotless, next to reception and more toilets at the far end of the site in a temporary building together with pot wash facilities. These were very handy and also clean and tidy although the outside pot wash could be cleaner. The motorhome point was well thought out. There are cafes on site and a small shop but we didn, t use these so cannot comment.

The sites are arranged around a lake on which the sea cadets were practising their sailing skills and cormorants basking on the jetty in the mornings. Our site was hardstanding, level and placed between the lake and the creek. Most sites have hookups. The beach is a 5mins stroll, nature walk from the site and restaurants and shops all within easy walking distance. Overall, a lovely quiet small site.

Reviewer: HannaS 12 reviews from this member

 A nice site in a great location, the pitches are round a small lake and well spaced out. The facilities were very clean but the showers were in small cubicles.

The location is brilliant - a 30 minute walk along the beach takes you straight into Weston, the Ship pub a 5 minute walk away is very reasonable and the food was great. The café at the entrance served a lovely cooked breakfast.

The site is handy as not far off the M5 - We may return as a stopover when next heading to Kendal. 


Date of Visit: May 2014 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Juliebelper 17 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from this lovely little site. It is in a great location in the nature reserve, not far from the joys of Weston. It is a peaceful site and this was respected by the other campers.

We pitched on number 27, non EHU, not an overly large pitch but adequate. Close to the lake and not far from the main facilities. Although fairly full we never had to queue for the toilets or showers. The water and rooms were warm and clean, nowhere to plug the hair dryer in though. The lack of hot water at the washing up sinks was a pain, you can't wash pots properly in cold water and in the cold weather it was unpleasant.

The weather was against us and this meant the access was muddy and slippy on foot and by car. Plus the hoards of little flies loved the damp weather and living in our tent! They don't bite though and quite liked the smell of citronella.

The staff were pleasant and unobtrusive. Being on the boatyard gave the place a nice feel and there are some good walks right on the doorstep. We would recommend the drive to Brean Down and the walk across the top to the old fort. Plus the drive along the coast from Weston to Kewstoke is very picturesque.

Reviewer: LOOPYLUNAR 9 reviews from this member

 Me, my wife and our little dog rate this site as near perfect. Good location, fairly level pitches, clean toilets and showers, friendly staff, close to the beach, fantastic walks, two pubs and a shop close by. The local people are very friendly. Whilst we were there, there was one other tourer (friendly couple from Derby) four motor homes and two VW's. We shall be going back again for sure, and, a great stopover on the way to Devon/Cornwall. Both pubs serve good meals and there is also a nice cafe at the entrance to the site.

Reviewer: Lizbuff2 2 reviews from this member

 Small site in quiet, scenic setting. All good sized pitches set around the lake (no regimented rows). Easy walks from the site to beach, surrounding countryside, pubs etc. The reception building has two separate unisex showers and another shower in the ladies (I assume there was also one in the gents). There is also a portacabin with toilets, waste disposal etc on the camping field. The site was full for our stay (Easter) but all facilities were kept very clean. The only improvement I would suggest is hot water at the washing up sinks. This was not a problem for us, being in a caravan, but may be for those in tents. They could possibly also consider a recycling point. Will definitely go back. 


Date of Visit: April 2014 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Whacker 16 reviews from this member

 Excellent site on the edge of Uphill Village, there is a nature reserve alongside and a cycle track that takes you in the direction Burnham. Beach is approx 800 yards away and a good 30 minute walk into weston.

The facilities are spotless and cleaned regularly.

There were only 9 hardstanding pitches available at the time of our visit as the grass area opens up at Easter. The site has a nice ambience with a few people working on their boats getting them ready for the summer. They were more than willing to chat about the surroundings and the goings on in the boatyard.

Two local pubs 400 yards away, both worth a visit.

The only thing that disappointed us was the cost of the EHU. £4 pn which is a bit OTT. £28 PW is a lot of money for leccy. The cost for 1x motorhome and 2 persons was £19. 50.

Reviewer: Coddycampa 3 reviews from this member

 Lovely surrounding area with loads of dog walks. A walk into the village surprised me as everyone I passed actually said 'good morning\afternoon'. Also lots of chatty people whilst out dog walking so all in all a nice area.

Downfall. Single person and dog not requiring hookup. Sorry, non hookup field not open yet (it does state April but obviously they wait till the kids break up for Easter) therefore cost for me £19.50 per night. I might add that in all of my years of not using hook up and regularly going on my own with the dog I have never ever ever had to pay for 2 people plus hookup!

Obviously the facilities in the non hookup field were also closed meaning only 1 toilet per gender and one shared but they were spotlessly clean.

 What a beautiful place to stay. Facilities clean. Lovely pitch, quiet, views fantastic. Plenty of walking for the dog, two pubs within 5 min walk, close to supermarkets and retail park. Local people very friendly especially Ray she offered great advice to us thank you Ray! Had a fab 5 nights here will definitely be coming again highly recommended, easy access to Weston by car or walking. Had a lovely welcome nothing to much trouble. Lovely tea shop on sight that provided all meals and very reasonable. A little gold mine I found here.

Reviewer: Thecraggies 9 reviews from this member

 We stopped off on the way to Cornwall after using ukcampsite search on the M5 and are we glad we did! Stayed two nights but could have gone longer. Manager was really accommodating ' just find a pitch you like and we will come round in the morning for payment'. The marina showers are available for use and campers have their own toilet block too. Always clean and available.

Fantastic surroundings, next to the estuary and overlooked by a church on a clifftop whilst every pitch gets a grandstand view of the sailing lake used by the local Sea Cadets.

Wind sports beach on the walk into Weston was fascinating (kite surfing, sand buggies etc) and Weston was 200% better than we anticipated.

The dog was walked off its legs, we enjoyed the perfect start to our hols and we will definitely use again.
