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

Liked Place was nice and clean, facilities good and had everything we needed. Staff were friendly everywhere except reception.

Disliked That we only for two shower tokens for our family of three for two nights.

On our arrival, the receptionist, a lady with blond hair and the older of the two, was unhelpful, in fact rather rude, we had never been to you before and she was clearly annoyed that our booking was not on what she had already printed out but that cannot be our fault, we booked with pitch up like we have other places before and she treated us like we were stupid for not knowing that the shower had tokens and that we would have to pay for extra. Whilst I would have preferred to have been given 6 tokens, a shower per day for the whole family, I accept that more would be unreasonable but she could have simply explained that any more needed paying for and not in the hostile way she did. We also felt she was rude to the younger member of staff and the gentleman who was directing people to their pitches. She then just seemed the grown the map at us

Liked Great site beautiful surroundings. Wasn't overly busy which was perfect for us as a family of 3.
Great pitch too right opposite the facilities.
Great first trip away in our camper and our 3 year old loved the inflatable slides and go kart area, who I must give a special mention too the young lad working there who was amazing with my little boy helping him with the karts.
Great entertainment for kids and adults - we even won on the bingo.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Very well presented and clean. A warm and friendly welcome from staff. Lovely clubhouse and swimming pool. Two great pubs near the entrance plus a curry house. Good location between Weston and Brean.

Disliked Big noisy rugby tour on the camping field. At £44 a night, the site is extremely expensive for what it is, which is a shame. No free wifi. £1 for a shower. There are some bigger sites in Brean at around £30 a night.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (large)

Liked Spacious pitch with really good ablutions. Cleaned everyday and very well stocked . The washing up facilities was really good and the sluice for the porta loo was god send. The club house was very good so was the entertainment children’s and adults. The food was very good and the staff was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble .

Disliked On our visit we had a rugby team from Towcaster staying in the same field as us . Friday and Saturday the noise was horrendous with music and people screaming. This not only affected us but all the young families around us some with very young children. They were told to quieten down several times but this wasn’t the case. On Sunday evening it was lovely and quiet and very calming.

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.
