  • Peaceful site at the foot of the Quantock Hills
  • Three fishing lakes on site
  • A base for Cheddar, Glastonbury and the Exmoor and Somerset coast
Solo sorts, families, couples and most of all anglers… come and get sorted at serene and scenic Burton Springs, for a super stay in a Somerset wildlife haven. This peaceful place is at the foot of the Quantock Hills and a nifty base for getting out around the Quantocks, the west Somerset and Exmoor coastline, and smashing Somerset settings like Cheddar Gorge and Glastonbury Abbey, both under 20 miles away. And if your group are fisherfolk? Cast off on site in the three handsome and well-stocked lakes: there's one each of coarse fishing, carp fishing and cat fishing to keep all angling enthusiasts hooked. Please note that fishing is subject to additional charges and must be booked in advance. (Non-fisherfolk have plenty of wildlife to see, walks to wander and quiet spots in which to hide with a book or three.) Burton Springs is well kept all round by its friendly family team, who've added a spankingly clean shower and washroom as well as a washing-up area for guests' use. There's also a games room for all ages, with table football and a dartboard, a selection of board games, DVDs and reading material, and a small play area in the pitching field with a pirate ship, climbing walls, slides and a basket swing. Food and drinks are available to buy in the site shop.

Lakeside View camping pod

Liked: We arrived on site and were seen too immediately by the lovely lady host and her 2 dogs (which were so friendly!).
We were given loads of information about the site shop, communal games area, any activities and restaurants/pubs in the area.
We arrived at our pod and it was alot bigger than expected and so clean! The pods are fully equipped with cups and cutlery, washing equipment, kettle and tv/DVD player. We had everything we needed for a 2 night stay.
The site itself was great with fishing lakes, kids park and the lovely little shop, which sells great honey!
We will definitely be back and recommend to others :)

Disliked: Nothing.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: The campsite was lovely, pitches evenly spaced out and great facilities for a little on with the playground and game rooms for older kids. There was a spacious dog olay area enclosed. Showers and toilet block were clean, the honesty shop was well stocked with wood and some essentials. All in all a great experience, plus the owners were friendly and they let me use their electric car charger for a reasonable cost.

Disliked: At the time we were there, there was a bit of noise from plant vehicles going back and forth to the power plant but tuned this out after second night.

Lakeside View camping pod

Liked: Loved the pod, beautiful and quaint. Loved the carp pillow that my partner was desperate to own. Loved the well kept greens and lakes. Loved the sports room with all the books, dvds and especially the air hockey table of which we had countless matches and giggles.
Loved the friendliness of the staff and the people on site. Loved the use of the fridge and freezer which was just perfect. The toilets and showers were clean and well looked after and just an all round wonderful place to be.

Disliked: Um nope nothing to say really

Local attractions

Burton Springs' closest chunk of coast is at Burnham-On-Sea about seven and a half miles away. Seaside resort Weston-super-Mare is a few miles further along the coast from Burnham; for the Exmoor coastline, stretches of shoreline and sand like Kilve, Dunster, Minehead and Porlock are a short drive in the other direction. The South West Coast Path, Britain's longest long-distance path, starts from Minehead on its epic 630 miles via the coasts of Devon and Cornwall to finish up at Poole Harbour in Dorset. If this is a tad too much, other hikes around the region include the Quantock Hills, England's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; Brean Down, a Site of Special Scientific Interest managed by the National Trust, and the Mendip Hills, also an AONB and home to splendidly spectacular Cheddar Gorge. The Burton team also reckons guests should take a look at the small wildlife and adventure park Tropiquaria, the National Trust's Dunster Castle and Fyne Court, the Bakelite Museum at Wilton, the RSPB reserve at Greylake, and the rides and attractions of Brean Leisure Park. Paintballing is available at Cannington Park, nearby at Bridgwater.
