 The approach road (A396) is a long winding road and quite narrow in places; however the site itself is worth the journey.
Pheasants were everywhere on-route and they also visited the campsite itself. The site is fairly flat with several hard standings.
There is free Wifi which was a real help as there was no Vodafone coverage there, in fact the whole of the valley appeared to lack Vodafone coverage. TV access is also available and Reception have coaxial leads available free of charge. We also managed to get a satellite connection.
The campsite shop is well stocked and Tonia worked hard keeping everything running during the terrible weather we experienced during our stay, helping units get off the soggy grass.
Due to Covid 19, there was only one shower and one toilet available, but both were spotless.
This campsite is highly recommended.

This site is wonderful, very helpful staff, well maintained and very spacious.
When we arrived we were given a choice of two pitches, we chose near the Mill stream,
There is a road that passes along the one side of the field but not overly noisy.
The field is all plotted out with ample space for large tents, motorhome etc with still plenty of space between. Showers are good, clean and modern, as are the toilets.
The site shop is well stocked and you can order food for the next day if required.
There are lots of places to visit nearby.
We will definitely be going back next year for a longer stay, and take the dogs with us, as there is some great walks.

Lovely stay at friendly site- I rarely review so this must reflect my good impression!.
Had forgotten that by booking 7 nights we got one free, which was a nice surprise on arrival.
Owner/ manager was very friendly and helpful and all staff were really going all out to clean thoroughly with one way system to access reduced facilities. Most seemed to be using their own units when they could.
Reception doubled as village shop ( although I didn't see locals) great range of everything- local butcher plus fresh local bakery items. Local pub has limited opening due to covid, and no menu displayed outside.
Great hill walking from the site. Dulverton a 5ish mile hilly walk.

We loved our time on this quiet, spacious and well maintained site. The clear instructions on the website made it easy to find. The owner was very welcoming and helpful on arrival and throughout our stay, and there were very good sizes pitches to choose from with either the river or the mill stream behind.
The staff worked hard to keep everything clean during this Covid-19 period and it was clear that the site was taking care of everyone's safety.
We enjoyed the short stroll to the beautiful weir at one end of the park, and at the other we used the very well stocked shop- we were very impressed with the local cider that was sold!
There are many local attractions open - we visited the National Trust properties at Dunster and Knightshayes. Lynton and Lynmouth are within easy reach, and also enjoyed an afternoon at Porlock Weir.
Overall we had a fantastic stay here and we'll be sure to return.

Just had 3 nights at this wonderful site. Actually I had only booked 2 but asked to stay for a 3rd as I didn’t want to go home. Very peaceful with a wee bit of road noise but not a problem. Lovely to have the river and mill stream behind your pitch with lots of wildlife to watch.
Pitches are well spaced although I was on one of the smaller ones as I had a small camper but still adequate. Facilities are second to none. They’ve thought of everything. Wash cubicles multiple showers and toilets. I never had to wait even though the site was very busy.
A bonus of laundry room with washing machines, microwave and freezer if you should need it. Information hut is well stocked. Folders with scenic drives and self-guided walks from the site. I did the shortest one on my own and it was very easy to follow.
The office even has a little shop selling essentials. Again a bonus on a relatively small site. There’s free wifi and a lovely pub down the road that made me feel very welcome as I was on my own. I had 2 meals there. Very friendly.
The site wardens and owners are lovely and give guided tours of their mill house on Sunday mornings. I will definitely be back as I am only 90 mins away.
This will be the perfect getaway. Thank you so much.

Nightmare of a journey down and I missed the turning thankfully there is a turning just up the road also some room if coming down from minehead direction, just passed the pub, so we were well pleased with a warm welcome and a free coffee.
We were shown on a map the pitches and basically told help yourself to any empty pitch. Which was a nice touch. The loo`s spotless ever time, But do expect the spiders to return at some stage you are in the countryside after all.
The same with the showers and washing up room spotless. For a site with only 50 pitches it never seemed busy when it was and we never had to wait for the loo or the showers.
I was looking for a quite get away do a spot of fishing and relax AND IT WAS you are in the middle of nowhere, with the drive out to Minehead (20 miles ish away ) with superstore`s mcDonalds and all the trappings of the seaside or a little further ( and some ) going down the country lanes to Ilfracombe.
With the pub just down the road selling cold beer and hot food (not over priced and a good choose to offer ) and a mobile fish & chip van on Wednesdays, free WIFI and TV. Just sitting and relaxing was torbale.
What was there to dislike ?
For me it was a little to far out of the way that's all. Would I go back yes but a shorter stay

Agree everything said on the post below. Our Fourth stay here and sadly it’s a downhill slide.
Dirty marks on bathroom walls there for the whole time we were there yet very visual, plus cobwebs galore.
Wi-fi very good though, as are the pitch conditions.
Golf buggy up and down at high speed at every opportunity throwing dust over us, not ideal at all, the same from speeding cars but no attempt to stop this so we asked a number of times.
Shop still bare, it would help a lot for MH owners to have access to more products.
Facilities overall good, would we return, we are 50/50.

This site is generally as advertised, but in my opinion not quite as ‘perfect’ as you would expect from the website/brochure.
We arrived after reception closed, but a note for us pinned outside the door told us to pitch anywhere that was not ‘reserved’ and book in next morning. However, as we pulled up one of the wardens came out of their caravan and confirmed this, and also pointed out that the pitch numbers were supposed be the middle of the pitch (really not obvious).
Pitches are on either side of the central driveway, all really long and reasonable width. Most are grass, with some recently installed hardstanding (gravel) pitches, although these are some distance from the hook-up points, so long leads would be required. Note that these hard pitches are nowhere near level!
Facilities blocks are split up; ladies and gents shower blocks, with one WC in each and sinks. Main toilet blocks separate, with more sinks. Washing up and laundry room, with one sink reserved for laundry and one for veg prep, so limited number available.
The Information shed was a real disappointment; we visited in late April but most of the tourist info leaflets were from the previous year, so not really useful. Local bus info was supposed to be in a folder, presumably with copies to take away - there were none left and obviously the staff did not check this during our 4-day stay. A copy on the wall would have been more use. However there was a folder of local walks, written by the staff/owners which were quite good. Again there were copies to take away, but looked like some had ‘run out’.
Site is advertised as good for walking from the gate. True, but most walks on to the moor require walking 1. 5 miles up the lane (up to 1 in 4 hill) to start with, so beware. Over a 4 day stay we did this up twice and down twice!
In summary, a well-equipped site in a nice location, but with a bit more attention to detail it could be better.

Very pretty site beautifully maintained. River flowing gently one side and Mill race on the other side with a great dog walk area upto the weir.
They have thought of everything, spotless facilities, library, info room, shop and a dog wash crufts would be proud to have. Very friendly hosts and great pub over the road.
We went on a few local walks from the site making use of local footpaths. Climbed cardiac hill as the locals call it, just about survived.
Fish and chips visited the site best chips I’d had for ages. Delightful site hope to visit again one day.
