  • Warm and welcoming family-run site near Exmoor National Park
  • Hiking, climbing, canoeing, angling and stargazing within easy reach
  • Remote park with plenty of green space and spectacular Exmoor views
If you plan on venturing to Devon for spectacular walks, historic hotspots and outdoorsy pursuits – and perhaps for wide open space, remoteness, a friendly vibe and meticulously manicured grounds to boot – make Zeacombe House Caravan Park your next Devon base. Just south of the spectacular landscapes of Exmoor National Park, Zeacombe has pitches on a lushly landscaped park lined with pristine lawns and dotted with mature trees, shrubs and rockeries, bordered partly by ancient beech hedging. Bring four-legged pals along to enjoy it too: this is a pooch-friendly place that allows dogs around the grounds as long as their humans keep them on their leads and clean up any doings. There's also a dedicated dog walking area where they can romp about off lead (please do keep gates shut and check your hound isn't going to find any ways to plot an escape). Zeacombe is a 12-minute drive from Dulverton, hailed as the southern gateway to Exmoor. You can pick up supplies (and gifts, and souvenirs) here, or bag them from the little shop on site selling essential groceries and camping bits; barbecues are allowed on your spacious pitch. The amenities on site are kept to spotless standards and include roomy shower rooms with lashings of hot water, a laundry room, a washing-up area and plenty of spots for bins and recycling.

What customers say

This campsite's a ripper! Super chill and friendly owners, clean loos, and heaps of space. Great for families and dogs (they've got a doggy zone). Most reckon it's grouse, but a few noted showers were a bit scalding, some gear needs a spruce up, and there's a bit of road noise.

Liked Kelly & Duncan we’re great, very helpful, first time caravaners -
Duncan helped hubby park the van

Easy accesible site, facilities good, showers hot and nice little shop.

Nice that electric was included

Disliked The site has no designated pitches which is fine until kids on evening just running around your space, whilst this is not the owners fault and I’m sure would have dealt with situation , if you like quiet evenings go outside of school holidays

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and comments. We're pleased you had a nice time and chose Zeacombe as your first experience in caravanning. Sorry about the children and like you say we would have sorted this for you. When yo visit again and this happens please pop in and tell us. Hope to see you again soon

Liked Clean facilities, friendly owners, lots of beautiful sites not too far drive away, choose your own pitches, arrive and leave any time of day.

Disliked Hot taps in the ladies toilets were so hot you couldn’t use them. You can’t walk from site and have to get in a car for all activities, pubs and dog walks

Jasmine P.

Powered grass site

Liked Lovely small site with electricity available.
Well kept and friendly owners.
Laid back approach- no specific check out time made it a lot less stressful.
Beautiful skies at night
Little light pollution
Dog and child friendly
Trees for shade

Disliked The hot taps and shower are piping hot.
This made showing with children difficult and concerned about scolding because each time you pressed the shower button (felt like every 30 seconds) the temperature increased.

Could do with longer between button presses and regulated/ set temperature control.

Slightly off the beaten track- at least 30mins/ 1hour to main shops or beach.

WiFi offered but not great, phone signal on EE was slow too

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Many thanks for your review and comments. Great pictures you've added, thank you. Sorry to hear you found the showers too hot. You should have come in to see us and we would have turned them down. We can only go on what customers tell us at the time. Please don't let this put you off coming again as we would love to see you all soon

Local attractions

Zeacombe’s local town of Dulverton is a handsome settlement between the Barle and Exe rivers, with central streets lined with boutique and gift shops, tearooms and various other watering holes and eateries. While you’re over that way, the Dulverton Circular Walk spans three and a half miles of an upstream route alongside part of the Barle valley from the town, taking trampers over Marsh Bridge and gently ascending along an ancient byway before returning back down along another byway back into Dulverton. Plenty more highly scenic hiking trails network the rest of Exmoor National Park’s thousands of acres of moorland, forested valleys and high coastal heathland. Ancient Dunster Castle a 40-minute drive away also comes with subtropical gardens home to four different microclimates, as well as a restored 18th-century working watermill among a peaceful river garden. To arrive in style, take the vintage steam locomotive carriage on the West Somerset Railway from Bishops Lydeard, 45 minutes’ drive from base, via some cracking coastal views along the way. Elsewhere, the famed north Devon surf spots of Saunton Sands, Croyde and Woolacombe are all within an hour’s drive.
