 Very welcoming friendly staff, lovely clean site, we will definitely stay again.
Very impressed with husbands reversing along the narrow roads.
Site facilities I gave a 10 but we didn’t use them due to COVID. Preferred to give a 10 than a 0.
Site location was lovely for the lake & walks, the narrow roads that your sat nav takes you can be worrying.

We have stayed here a couple of times and noticed how it has become much more popular with groups and families which has resulted in some pitches being a bit too close together. There are more facilities now with an additional temporary type shower block in the centre of the field but still not enough for the amount of campers. There are also new bell tents which unfortunately obscure the view of the lake for most of the campsite! Great walks, a cafe and watersports available on site. Not a great road to the lake itself, single track with passing places. Superb location away from it all.

We stayed here weekend of 31 March through to 2 April. Glad it was only 2 nights. Facilities basic and other park users use them. The toilet/showers are out of camp site, across the main entrance to the Park car park and at the back of the cafe/shop. The toilet especially could have been cleaned more during the day taking into account they were for campsite use only and I saw many other people using them. We were only campers for the majority of stay but had a great time. Even though temperatures plummeted to minus 2 at night. Trees do hide view to lake - you can just about see some of the lake through the trees and is only a short walk away. Great playground for the kids. The walk around the lake took us 3 hours with two young children but well worth it. Hired a canadian canoe for an hour and again the kids loved it. Was surprised that not many people were here considering it was first weekend of Easter break but cold weather probably put them off. First day found large pile of dog pooh on campsite, within 5 minutes of reporting it, the warden came and cleaned it up. Staff on site were very friendly and very helpful. Great place to relax for a couple of days so only took enough food so we didn't have to go off site. Shame the new high climbing facility was not in use. Website did say all activities were running from 31 March so a great shame children did not have the use of this. Looked like it would have been a lot of fun but told staff still being trained (and this was Easter holidays, would have thought it would have been up and running). Better luck next time. Site excellent for star gazing. No low light, street lights. Exmoor is a dark sky reserve and we had 2 clear nights to do star gazing. Absolutely amazing. We would stay here again but only for 2 nights max. I think toilet/shower block needs to be upgraded. Shame it is not located within campsite.

Wimbleball is reached through a windy lane. The staff are very helpful and you need to check in at the tea shop. The sandwiches in the tea shop are overpriced ie. ham sandwich with plain white bread nearly a fiver. The shop does have some pasties drinks and a little cafe etc but closes in the evening. The nearest pub is a considerable walk and probably best driven to unless you can navigate through the fields
The site is on a field above the lake with a short walk 100 yards to the lake shore. There are some electric hook ups at the top of the field and the pitches were reasonably level. The campers are on the same field and there was a good family friendly atmosphere.
The facilities are pretty basic with two male showers and a wash basin two showers and 2 wash basins for women. The general loos male and female again have a few cubicles and are available to all who use the lake facilities. You have to walk a few yards out of the camping field to use them. If there was more future investment in the facilities I am sure more people would use the site as it had a calm friendly feel but the facilities were not great with a busy site.
The walk around the lake is 9 miles long so be prepared. The facilities on the lake are great i. E. Fly fishing, sailing lessons etc and both children and adults seemed to be enjoying it. There was lots of space and open areas.
Overall very enjoyable stay but could do with the facilities being improved and ideally being in the camping field. Good mixture of people family friendly and good location

The campsite was reached via some steep hills and narrow roads. Once there, the pitches were level and spacious.
No view of the lake but only a very short stroll away. Lots of water-based activities for adults and older children and a fun playground for all ages of child.
Very limited toilet and shower facilities which could have proved problematic had the site been full.
A lovely quiet friendly site, only let down by the fact there is no shop on site so we were glad we were only there for two nights and had sufficient supplies with us.
The staff told us there was a supermarket 8 miles away - would seem a lot further around those narrow winding lanes.
Cafe on site was expensive and had very limited opening hours. Would go again but lack of shop would limit length of stay.

Booking at short notice for a Bank Holiday weekend was no problem and I paid at the cafe the next day. Showers, toilets, payphone, small cafe, BBQ, washup, big fenced play area and 30 pitches all clean and well organised.
A lovely area to walk or relax by the lake or straight onto Exmoor. Those narrow lanes and steep hills need extra time and care to arrive safely.

Just got back today from wimbleball lake campsite. When I booked they told me it was nice view from campsite and could see the lake. This was NOT true could hardly see it from my caravan. Toilets and showers couldn't believe it maybe cleaned once a day but really need knocking down and start again. Only nice thing on site was kids play area and lake if you can see it! walks round lake are lovely but no poo bins for dogs.
