We arrived on a wet Monday lunchtime for a brief stay (we were touring the area in our motorhome). Site set in peaceful, rural area with local Inn serving food at the end of the drive. Easy access to the site from the South (via Bampton).
Warm welcome from the wardens who couldn't do enough for you. Site small but very tidy and well looked after and ideal for a tranquil holiday.
We would have liked to have chosen our pitch but were told where to pitch up, sadly it was looking out towards a pair of statics which would not have been our pick had we been given the choice. Further up the park and on the tent pitches you have a much better view across open countryside.
Shower block was spotless, lovely touch of pump soap by the sinks and really decent hairdryer in the ladies(20p charge). Laundry room and small on site shop - handy for the basics.
Dog friendly, lovely mown paths through the adjoining field which our two enjoyed.
As the previous reviewer mentioned regarding the statics - these are very well priced (even in peak summer periods) so we would recommend these to people who are looking for a rural retreat but within access of the coast.
We would return to this site, especially in nicer weather (we had rain) so that we could stroll to the pub and enjoy a beer or two in the pub garden.
A lovely, peaceful site in a rural setting. Good views of the surrounding hills from the campsite. The farmer in the field at the foot of the site had a novel way of rounding up his sheep, we noticed - he parked up his vehicle, sounded the horn a few times - and they all came running!
There is a tiny little shop on site selling everything necessary, including rather expensive but absolutely delicious locally-made beefburgers - and the offer of a cup of tea on arrival is a nice touch, which always goes down well with us, especially after a long drive.
Friendly, helpful and informative wardens - nothing was too much trouble. The shop is well-stocked with information leaflets, and local walking maps are provided on loan, too.
The showers and toilets were spotlessly clean every time we used them, and there was a communal freezer and laundry room. It was fairly quiet at night.
The free wi-fi dipped in and out of range, unfortunately - it was never connected for long enough to pick up very much on the mobile, but then it's like that on most of the campsites we've visited.
Plenty of space around our tent - though there weren't too many tents in the camping field, we found the pitches would be large enough even if the site was busy. The dog walking area on site is fairly compact, with plenty of paths weaving and criss-crossing through it - and really long tall grass beside the paths, which is great fun for small dogs like ours, as they think they're somewhere different every time
The pub at the entrance to the site served very tasty food; the prices were reasonable and the service was friendly.
We were camped beside the aforementioned ditch for two nights and we had no problems arising from it. We'd certainly visit this site again.
Stayed here for a week a lovely peaceful site a warm welcome from the wardens
Large pitches great on site shop laundry, microwave, wash area hot showers and hair dryer in ladies, shaver points in mens lovely and clean facilities well maintained and spotlessly clean,
Pub just at site entrance for meals. Lovely walks near by windeball lake, hadden Hill lots of info of area in shop, dog walk on site. Adult only site
Would highly recommend for a peaceful week. Will be returning.
2 static caravans for hire very good prices for these.
A lovely site in a lovely location. We were pitched in the tent field with an EHU - nice views looking down the field. Great little dog walk, nicely mown paths so you don't get wet feet!
Perfect area for walking - we did the walk to Wimbleball Lake which is beautiful and other walks along the country lanes from the site. Facilities are spotless and although it was bank holiday no queuing for the showers.
How lovely to be welcomed back like old friends when we returned to Lowtrow Cross last week for our second visit of the year.
The warden, Tina and her husband Kevin are wonderful, full of local advice and ready to help with any possible problem you might have. There are lovely views from the touring field, we had the electric hook up on pitch 4.
The toilets are immaculate, showers nice and hot, although you do have to keep pushing the button to keep the water flowing. There is a small honesty shop on site with all the basics and a bit more. We would love them to be able to get papers delivered too, then there would be no need to go anywhere!
We've been to Lowtrow on two bank holidays now and it never feels crowded. Having the pub at the top of the drive is a bonus, the food is lovely, don't be put off by all the reserved signs on the tables, just ask for a table!
There are so many places within easy reach, our favourite is Hadden Hill, with wild ponies and amazing views. All in all,highly recommended.
What a lovely site ! It really is in the middle of nowhere, very peaceful, very rural, but easy to get to lovely places to walk and cycle and enjoy the beauty of Exmoor.
The site itself is small, with 2 distinct areas, caravans in one, tents in the other. The tent field has EHU along the top edge, non EHU pitches are on the rest of the field.
You are shown to your pitch, you don't just set up where you like. It does mean you are in straight lines which was a shame as there was masses of space available in the field and all the tents were together, but well spaced out. This could have been because there had been a lot of rain and the wardens wanted to keep cars of the grass.
The field does slope, the EHU pitches are pretty flat but the others slope down the hill. Its not too bad but noticeable. Tables are unsteady and we slid down the airbed at night. But it is a small price to pay for the beautiful views. I wish it was possible to post a picture with a review !
The facilities are spotlessly clean. The showers are free, hot, powerful and have ample hooks and a stool and a curtain to pull across to keep dry things dry. Very well thought out ! There is a proper hairdryer (20p)
There are also a laundry room, small shop and washing up area.
The site is dog friendly, the bottom of the camping field is a mown dog walk, which was well used.
The pub next door to the site is very friendly and relaxed. The food was excellent, so was the beer! They allow dogs in the pub.
I agree with others that the site wardens are superb. Friendly, welcoming, helpful but unobtrusive and extremely hard working. They live in a caravan on the site, so are always pottering about, cleaning and chatting.
When we were there the site was only about half full. It was very quiet, both during the day and at night. Its not a site for groups or late night revels. Everyone was there for a peaceful get away from it all, and showed great respect for fellow campers.
Visited the site earlier this year and found it to be an ideal base for visiting the surounding area.
We arrived a little later than expected but the owners were waiting with a welcoming smile. They kept the facilities excellent in spotlessly clean and there was plenty of hot water.
The on site store was well stocked with the basics and use of the freezer and microwave was very handy. The pitch was good with a very slight slope and stone free.
The site is very quite and has great views over the valley when the sun sets. Worth mentioning is the pub by the sites entrance, great food and friendly staff.
My first camping experience was at Lowtrow Cross in July this year having never camped before myself, my husband and our dog had a fantastic 10 day holiday staying at this campsite. The facilities are excellent, showers are spotless and plenty of hot water. The camp wardens were very helpful and very thoughtfully checked that the tent went up ok on our first day, they were always on hand to give advive and knowledge of local area and amenities. The site is well laid out with spacious pitches and wonderful views over farmland. Very peaceful during the day and a very quiet site at night. The pub which is just outside the site has a good selection of local beers and great food and is dog friendly.
We hadn’t been camping for over 20 years, so when I suggested it to my good lady, she was a little unsure! We have had all the wet camping days with the kids and although I was ready to give it a try, Mrs C wasn’t over happy! We had done our camping, moved on to caravans and then started to book apartments in the south of France about eight years ago!
Looking for sites, we decided that we didn’t want to have a site with a club or play areas so naturally we chose an “Adults Only” site. And enter stage right, Lowtrow Cross Caravan & Camping Site. And what a beautiful site it is. The caravan section is well laid out and includes the shop and shower/toilet facilities. But… As I said we were trying camping again, so we were in the tent field with an electric hook-up.
The field is slightly sloping and has a well made gravel road across the top. Just above this are the Hook-up tent pitches where we pitched. It is flatter, but from the views of other campers, the slight slope is not a problem. At the bottom of the tent field is the dog walking area, but in all the time we were there (one week) we never heard any barking more than twice! The cows/bulls make more noise!
The views are fantastic and although the weather was damp some of the time, it is a wonderful place to stay. There is plenty to do if you are the sort of camper/caravanner that would holiday on Exmoor. Walking and cycling along with some excellent attractions of the “normal” kind! The West Somerset Railway is fantastic and places like Dunster and Minehead are good to visit.
OK, left them till last, but the real jewel in the well deserved crown for Lowtrow are undoubtedly Tina and Kevin! These two are perhaps the best wardens of any site we have visited! Very helpful and friendly, they are also a fountain of knowledge on local places to walk and visit! We arrived in the rain, Kevin made us a cuppa and out came the sun! Thanks to both of you for your help on our first outing!
One last thing… The Lowtrow Cross Inn is attached to the site by way of the drive! The food is fantastic and seems to get site people in every night. Makes for a friendly time and well worth a visit while you are there.
A superb site. Small but perfectly formed as they say.
The shower block was spotless and the food prep / washing area likewise.
I found the staff to be helpful, friendly and more than happy advise on the local area.
The shop was well stocked with essentials at a reasonable price.
The weather was not the best but the tent field held up well. The trench that has been mentioned earlier as an issue wasn’t and I was pitched next to it.
I would be happy recommend this site for those visiting Exmoor.
Having a quiet country pub at the end of the drive was just a bonus.
Would I go back? Yes.
