What customers say
This campsite is praised for its incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable hosts, spotless facilities, and spectacular views across Minehead. Guests highlight the clean showers, good recycling, and well-maintained grounds. While the peaceful atmosphere and access to coastal paths and moors are appreciated, some visitors note that pitches can be sloped, and the walk to and from Minehead is arduous. There are also comments that the site may not be suitable for larger caravans or motorhomes due to steep and narrow access roads.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Everything. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Picked my own pitch for my Campervan. Beautiful site. Slightly sloped in parts, but it didn't bother me at all. Wonderful views over Minehead and the sea. Super clean toilets and showers, plenty of hot water. The woods run alongside the site, great for letting the dogs run free, and a lovely walk into Minehead...downhill all the way. I am definitely going to stay there again. Highly recommended

Liked Good location, lovely scenery, many showers and toilets so no queues.
Disliked Not a really dislikes but a points to consider for peope who will stay here. We stayed close to the border with the farm, so waken up at 4am by lowing & crowing. Road nearby so can hear the cars passing.
And a bit crowded.

Disliked Unless you pay for electric pitches the entire field is at an angle. If you don't have chocks, it's hard to sleep.

From the manager: Hi Andrea,
We're sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. We do an evening walk around at 10:30pm and didn't notice any noise, we do find that the vast majority of our visitors respect the quiet hours, however, we'd always recommend mentioning something at the time to give us a chance to rectify the issue!
Thanks!
Get up and watch the stunning sunrise!
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Very good toilet and shower block; always extremely clean and regularly checked. Stunning views as it's high on a hill. And, Ellen, the manager is friendly, approachable and always tries to ensure your stay is an enjoyable
Disliked It is a long walk into Minehead, and a big hill to climb on returning. But, there are various footpaths to follow and vary the journey, and the old town area that you walk through is extremely interesting.
Site is mostly sloping, save for the hardstandings, but there's enough places to find somewhere to pitch

Clean, friendly and wonderful views.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked The hosts were incredibly welcoming and were well informed about the local area. The showers were hot and very clean, as was the site. Great recycling facilities as well. The views were spectacular.
Disliked Pitches were rather slopey but this was to be expected as we were on top of a hill. The walk back up from town is rather arduous, but the local taxi firms are reasonably priced and plentiful.
