  • Scenic adults-only park with views over the Somerset Levels
  • Cheddar 15 minutes; Burnham-on-Sea 20 minutes
  • A mile from a popular local pub and a windmill
After an adults-only place to stay in the South West of England? Located close to the Somerset coast and roughly 10 minutes' drive from the edge of the Mendip Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural beauty, Ashton Drove Motorhome Park has a small number of pitches in a laidback rural environment. With well-maintained land overlooking the Somerset Levels, here you'll have a tremendous sense of space as you gaze out over the open countryside that surrounds the park. There's bound to be a good amount of peace and quiet too, as kids aren't allowed to stay at this adults-only site. Dogs are permitted to come and stay here with you, but please make sure that they're well-behaved and kept under your full control at all times. Ashton Drove Motorhome Park is about a mile from Ashton's village windmill and a popular local pub, while about three miles in the other direction there's Wedmore (10 minutes' drive), where village stores, restaurants and other local amenities are available. The surrounding area has plenty of appealing options to explore, whether you're into your beaches, your birdwatching or fancy a round of golf on one of Somerset's best links courses. Bring your bike too, as the surrounding area is broadly flat and quiet enough for some pleasant pedalling.

Local attractions

Underground rivers, limestone canyons and caves… in Cheddar (15 minutes’ drive), the gorge hike and ancient architecture are likely to impress. Stop by the cheese-making company while you’re there to find out more about the process of making the well-loved cheddar cheese. More caves (and tunnels, museums and a vintage penny arcade) can be found at the gorgeous Wookey Hole (25 minutes), but for a little of the city life, map out the way to Bristol (45 minutes) or Bath (an hour), the first an arts and culture hotspot and the second, the home to Roman baths, impressive architecture and other stunning landmarks. Sea on your mind instead? Jump onto a jet ski in Burnham-on-Sea (20 minutes), explore the dunes at the particularly pretty Brean Down (30 minutes) or try out windsurfing at Weston-super-Mare (30 minutes). With the Mendip Hills for peaceful walks, you might want to call by Wells (30 minutes) to visit its huge cathedral and wind down the pace before you head back to base.

Electric gravel and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: Quiet at night

Disliked: Next to no lighting the solar lights do not work near gate, bins or waste areas. The ground is very uneven and uncared for, the lack of lighting on a night is quite dangerous. Not disabled friendly at all.

The water points are ridiculous, next to no pressure and took over an hour to fill the motor home water tank. The lack of pressure is also by the waste water chemical area, which as a result makes it smell bad. In summer this would be horrible.

Site says no commercial vehicles but site looked more like a business or commercial storage yard than a holiday park. With a gardeners pick up, fish mongers and a LGV truck in the corner.

Very difficult to find, drove around for an hour, no signposting and number was only found on Google, tried calling owner who eventually answered after 25 minutes.

Not for us. Especially for the money, not a good experience

Electric gravel and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: Nicely situated.
Peaceful, clean & tidy.
Had everything we needed (we have a motorhome so don’t need a toilet or shower).
Lovely area for our dogs to stretch their legs.
Surrounded by fields with public footpaths but due to time of year, the ground was too wet/boggy to go far.
Got a little lost right at the last moment but called the owner who was super friendly & helpful.
Liked that we were left alone.
Only 1/2 others on site during our 3 night stay.
Perfect for us and will be returning.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike!
Lovely site & area.

Electric gravel and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: The peace and tranquility of the site. We watched deer in the field, bird of prey overhead, foxes and rabbits. Although off the beaten track the site was easily accessible in our 6.7m converted lorry, even down narrow lanes. The villages of Wedmore and Mark were only 10 minutes drive away and Cheddar was only 15 minutes and had all you could need including a small supermarket and a revolution launderette. As for value we were only in the area out of necessity for family business and trying to find a site with hardstanding, water, waste and electric in August for less than £40 per night around either Burnham or Weston-Super-Mare is not easy and we though £26.00 was great value. We felt safe and relaxed here and very welcomed by the owner.

Electric gravel and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: Nice views, peaceful and an easy elsan point.

Disliked: The site is uncared for and uneven. I nearly fell in a ditch trying to hook up. There was a dirty glove and a dead mouse by the water hose on one pitch and something equally unsavoury on another. Despite saying to the contrary, there were two commercial vehicles on site, one parked up and one with two guys in it. It didn't feel very safe. A pity as it has a lot of potential. It was definitely way over priced at £26. We had no contact with owner at all.

Electric gravel and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: Very quiet site with beautiful views, lots of wildlife around and nobody bothers you, lovely place to wonder along the lane

Disliked: Lack of direction when arriving and no staff around to speak to, rang the phone number and left a message no contact back.
