Riverside camping pitches

  • Family campsite 10 minutes’ drive from Weston-super-Mare in Somerset
  • Burnham-on-Sea 15 minutes’s drive; Cheddar Gorge and Caves 25 minutes
  • Indoor pool, playground and fishing lake; clubhouse and licensed bar
Thinking of Somerset and need a base with lots of activities for all the family? You’ll never have a dull moment at Riverside Holiday Village, languishing by the River Axe in the Mendip Hills, because there’s just masses to do when you get there. Younger visitors can have hours of fun at the adventure playground, there’s a games arcade for older kids and a heated indoor swimming pool – so there’s always something for your offspring to be getting up to, even on rainy days. And while the kids are safely taken care of elsewhere, you adults can have your fair share of the fun too, with games of pool in the sports bar and regular themed entertainment (think ‘oompah’ bands, bratwurst and bingo) in the fully licensed Kingfisher Clubhouse. Spread out in the beer garden on warmer days, and maybe have a go at fishing (seasonal only) on lakes well stocked with game fish (please buy a pass from reception). If you fancy a walk, paths lead directly from the pitches to strolls alongside the river. When a day at the seaside beckons, Weston-super-Mare (10 minutes’ drive) answers the call with a huge sandy beach and lots of family activities like golf, Funland Theme Park and amusement arcades on the pier to keep everyone busy. Forgotten anything vital? There’s a well-stocked convenience store at reception.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (large)

Liked: Booked this very last minute and were not disappointed.

Staff were very friendly, especially one receptionist, didn't catch her name, had snazzy black glasses on, was very helpful and friendly.

Campsite is a good size, lovely location, easy to get to, bus stop right outside the entrance, to Weston, Brean and Burnham.

Two pubs and restaurants within very close walking distance.
Campsite pitches were very ample in size

On-site shop had a little of everything. Bar was well stocked and not too pricy, only ate there one evening, but the food was good and the Sunday roast looked and smelt delicious. Dog friendly, which is great.

Entertainment was good, and catered for all ages and tastes.

Smaller sports bar attached to the main bar/dining area, and outside sun garden/smoking area was great too.

Toilet/shower block was immaculate, tidy, smart and warm. Yes, you have to pay £1 for ten minutes shower use, but this stops people hogging the showers, wasting water unnecessarily and ridiculous queues building up, so £1 for a shower is no drama.

Camp pitch was level, good size and had an electric hook up. Lovely views across the lake and meadows.

Pool was temporarily out of use, so cannot comment on that.


Definitely intend to return :)

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (large)

Liked: All very clean very well worked site.
Services all there apart from getting water refill in Mobil home water
tank although service was there but awkward parking.
Overall a great site with local pubs within walking distance if you don’t want the club house. Although clubhouse well equipped and very entertaining.

Disliked: Wi fi was rubbish
Bar staff didn’t really know how to work a bar and didn’t really care very un professional in most cases.
But don’t let that put you off.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Very clean.

Disliked: I chose the site so i could get showered etc before going to a funeral, there was a Power cut while i was having a shower, didn't come back on for around 20min, had to have a cold wash and shave. I told the receptionist and she didn't even offer me another token.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately we have experienced issues with the National Grid of late and this power outage was completely beyond our control. We apologise that our receptionist wasn't more accommodating and this will be addressed.

Lovely little site. Clean,friendly staff good food

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (large)

Liked: Flat pitch
Next to a river.
I really liked the fact that there was only two toilets for a whole field of tents that were closely pitch together. I also really like the price of £50 per night and unable to use a swimming pool because it was fully booked. Lastly I really enjoyed paying £50 a night and having to pay £1 for 10 min use of the shower.

Disliked: I really liked having to leave this cramped campsite. And i disliked the fact I would not feel claustrophobic once I left.

From the manager: We're sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay, however we would like to point out that most of your 'dislikes' would have been known to you prior to booking (the price, charge for showers), but you chose to book anyway!

Additionally, there is a larger toilet and shower block less than a minutes walk from the camping field (at the back of the clubhouse) which our reception team highlight on a map for campers upon their arrival.

All maximum effort

Local attractions

As well as Weston-super-Mare (10 minutes’ drive), there are other beachy options for family days out, including Burnham-on-Sea (15 minutes) with its vast stretches of sand backed by lots of shops and cafés. If you’d rather contemplate the sea from the comfort of a train, board the West Somerset Railway at Bishops Lydeard (45 minutes) for a jaunt through the Quantock Hills and along the coastline. Grab your walking boots and turn inland for days yomping in those very same Quantock Hills (40 minutes’ drive), or take on some of the challenging rock-climbing routes around the steep cliffs at Cheddar Gorge and Caves (25 minutes). Go deep underground on a caving expedition, and if that’s too hard core, take the kids to see the spectacular subterranean stalactites at Wokey Hole (35 minutes). If you feel the urge for a bit of culture, make for the historic (and tiny) city of Wells (40 minutes), where you can tour the flamboyant Gothic-style cathedral and moated Bishop’s Palace. Have another urban day out in Bristol (50 minutes), which draws people in for its zoo, the sleek Concorde at Aerospace Bristol and lively pub scene around the harbour.
