 What a beautiful campsite. We wanted somewhere within about an hour of home for the Bank holiday weekend and the reviews were good so we booked to stay at Burrowhayes.
We will definitely return again.
Booking in was quick and we were given a choice of pitches, we choose a grass pitch with electric in the larger field. It was so quiet, just the sound of birds and the stream that borders the site.
The facilities block was well designed, the toilets and shower rooms were spacious, well lit, with plenty of toilets, a privacy cubicle and a cubicle with a deeper sink, possibly for bathing younger children or babies. There were a good number of sinks for washing or teeth cleaning.
The showers were great. No push button or pay on use, just turn on and adjust the temperature which was lovely and warm with a good pressure. The cubicles had a bench seat and were separated from the shower with a partition and also a shower curtain. All was kept very clean and tidy.
There was also a laundry room, disabled room and pot wash room in this same building. There was a washing line available to use alongside.
In the reception there is a little, well stocked shop. Horse riding is available at the site. Burrowhayes borders Horner Woods, we didn't walk there this time but intend to return and explore further. Its not far up onto Exmoor and Dunkery Beacon and also into Minehead. Porlock is in walking distance with some off road walking and the rest along country lanes, be aware some parts are very steep!
A very good campsite in a beautiful part of the country.

Wonderful friendly site. Quiet and not too large.
Clean and well laid out with spacious toilet block with showers, toilets, sinks with mirrors and a separate washbasin cubicle, and baby changing cubicle. Also facilities for the disabled, laundry room and indoor dishwashing area.
Well stocked shop with chilled, fresh and frozen foods available. Also horse-riding available on site.
Highly recommended. Ideal for walkers and lovers of country life. Hope to return!

We have always liked the location and the way the site is managed.
We have camped here for over 34 years now and have always felt at home.
The newer fully serviced pitches suit us well now we are physically capable.
Mobile signals have always been a challenge here and continue to be so. Many would like this fact.

We’d often passed this site on our way to Horner Woods and thought it looked a good one to try and we weren’t wrong.
The owners & staff are all so friendly and helpful and the site is very tidy and clean. The toilets and wash cubicles were open with a one way system for Covid19. There are hand sanitizer units everywhere you need them to be, eg next to taps, chemical disposal etc.
I would say that the site was at about a third capacity when we visited on a two night, mid week break.
The first afternoon we walked into Porlock. Beware it’s a very steep walk back in one part and would be extremely dark at night so make sure that you take a torch.
The following day we walked from the campsite into the woods and straight up onto Exmoor with glorious views to the coast. We then dropped back into Horner Ancient woods and walked back via the tea rooms at Horner for a cream tea.
Whilst we were staying the site was very quiet in the evenings and the facilities always clean.
Will definitely return!

Liked:
Location.
Facilities not used but looked well kept.
Friendly staff.
Well stocked shop and papers to order.
Good walking with dogs.
Peaceful in bottom field by river.
16 amp EHU.
Disliked.
Water logged pitch. Not their fault and Duck boards were provided. Good job we didn’t erect the awning!
Zero WiFi.
Zero mobile phone signal leaving us is in a complete black hole.
TV channels so basic as to be back in the 60s.
We wanted a fully serviced pitch but in fairness all taken. However the ones we saw were extremely close together. No screening between pitches, but I am sure they are legally compliant although a bit too close with social distancing🤪
I suspect WiFi May have been available near the facilities but it doesn’t cost much these days to run a wire and mast to the rest of the site.
The bottom field where I was only had one service station. More water pipes and disposal areas would be beneficial.
In conclusion I will not return. However at £20 per night we did enjoy very good value for money. For a few dollars more this site could rise to an excellent five star place. We are not all super fit these days and some of us do enjoy our FreeSat tv in the evening.

Really lovely site. Nicely spaced pitches and very Covid safe. Lots of Sanitiser available at all waste and water areas.
Handy shop for provisions and you can order fresh bread and croissants for the morning (which we highly recommend as we had them on both days !).
Beautiful location in amongst woodland with many, many walks directly from the site. The walk in to Porlock itself takes about 20 minutes (a bit longer coming back as the hill is a killer !).
We walked down to Porlock Weir via the Woodland Walk one way and back via the marshes which was lovely for our dog. Everywhere very dog friendly with Pubs, cafes etc all allowing dogs in. We ate in the Top Ship and it was fantastic.
We will definitely be back !

Lovely welcome on arrival at the site on its first day of opening for the season.
Beautiful riverside location with some spacious hardstanding pitches. Toilet and shower block clean with plenty of hot water.
The owners and staff were all working hard with the final preparations for the forthcoming season and were friendly and approachable.
There are numerous walks from the site which is surrounded by National Trust land. Porlock - approx 1 mile away via a woodland walk - is a lovely village with shops, pubs, tea shops and a quaint church which is usually open to visit.
At a very difficult time with the coronavirus pandemic I wish Julian, Marion and all the staff the very best for the forthcoming season.
We stayed for 4 nights but will definitely return.

A beautiful site! Idyllic views and so peaceful. Ideal location to get away from the hustle and stresses of everyday life.
Julian was lovely, we had such a warm welcome and shown our pitch to set up on.
The facilities were clean with hot showers and a laundry room.
We wish we had booked for longer! Will definitely book again

We have just spent 2 nights as a family group with 3 tents, 6 adults and 2 kids. Site is amazing and very relaxed. Sitting within National Trust land (we were unaware of this at time of booking) the scenery is perfect.
The small stream running adjacent to the park gives a nice feel to the place too. As said before the site is on a gentle slope, but our pitch was flat enough that we didn't notice. Staff super friendly and happy for us to sort balance when we were settled.
Toilet block very clean, spacious and modern. No kids play area, but with the shallow stream, and relaxed nature to the fields, they have fun just being kids. Plenty of walks locally. Porlock only a mile away. Loads of horses next to the site. Wife did see a huge stag too, but I missed that one :(
Love to explore new sites, but this one is going on our return list.

What an excellent campsite. Staff are so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Facilities are great with the showers always hot.
It is quite a big site but it's so quiet and relaxing No children's playground but the kids just seem to make friends and love it on their bikes/scooters and playing in the stream that runs through the site.
It also has a stable yard and you can go on a 1/2 hour ride for just £12. 50. It is dog friendly and there are loads of different walks off the site, one up the lane leads to two little tea rooms (dog friendly) which are great.
Overall an excellent site will return next year
