Close to Newbridge Park and Ride so ideal for visiting central Bath.... Central Bath is a car nightmare

Run by British Waterways. £17.50/night including Electric(2005). 90 level pitches: most hard standing with grass on three sides so you can choose where to put the awning.

Tents are accepted but there didn’t seem to be much space for large tents.

Access to the river and the Bristol to Bath cycleway. Children’s Play area.

Two toilet/shower blocks with 12 WC & 20 wash basins. Access to toilets is by button coded locks. Don’t forget the code!

Fishing is not my thing but there is a fishing symbol in the CCC book. I am pretty sure that we tripped over a fisherman as we walked along the riverside!

I forgot to mention that there are two food pubs nearby, the Globe and the Boathouse.

Mr & Mrs D Christopher

Beautifully laid out site, with pitches in small enclosures.
At one point there was 9 units, but plenty of room, so it didn’t matter that much.
You also have a choice of grass or hard standing grass (they bury some kind of shingle/hardstanding-very good for wet weather-you don’t get stuck in it)

TV bad so needed to rent owners specially provided aerial. £1.00 per visit. (a night or a week)

Site was large rear garden of B & B bungalow. Badgers and foxes talked all night.
Owners very pleasant.

Clarks shopping village nearby but we were disappointed in the high prices for everything.
Street was not much better, but some shoe bargains can be found if you look hard enough and you have ordinary sized feet (I don’t). We found further bargains in an indoor market at the end of the High Street in Street.

There is also a candle factory advertising on the main road with some great factory shop bargains. Can’t remember the name but you can’t miss the adverts and signs.

Burnham on Sea Holiday Village (Haven)--- Fishing site
Marine Drive
Burnham on Sea
Somerset
TA8 1LA

Tel: 0871 230 2760
Web site: www.haven.com/parks/somerset/burnham-on-sea/

75 pitches: Electric and Euro (Hard-standing base on Euro pitches)
Flat, grassy touring area with road access and car parking spaces next to all pitches
Heated shower block with 10 WC’s, 8 showers, hairdryers and shaving points
Covered dishwashing area with 2 sinks
5 minute walk to the Park facilities
Pup tents not acceptable But plenty in use
Dogs are not welcome

Layout
One entrance to the entire site for a change but Tourers turn off to their own reception, which is rarely manned during the week.

The site has five rows of pitches, divided off into small groups of pitches, each with a marker post and power pylon.

There is one toilet block where all the facilities are amalgamated including a Motorhome water point. There are dedicated disabled and family facilities too.

The touring pitches are close by to the main entertainment area where everything is behind the security fence. There is a small supermarket, amusements, Pizza Takeaway and show bars, and café bar (the Mash Barrel complex with free WiFi) together with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and a boating lake together with a large play area with min-quads, bungee trampoline, Water Walkerz, trampolines and more. The Pizza takeaway will also deliver to your pitch as they do on all Haven sites. Disabled access to most parts of the complex was good with ramps to higher parts and a lift to the show bar, which is good for mothers with pushchairs too. OK the lift was broken on one day but staff were on hand to assist anyone who needed it and ALL the staff from security to the ordinary bar-staff were very helpful and pleasant. There are the usual Haven touches that I have umbrage with; to get to the café bars and evening show bar you have to access through the “Amusements”. Even the Pizza shop you have to go into the place to get in to order. The Free WiFi is free but quite limited, as you cannot access any photo or video sites, and even such popular sites as Facebook has big gaps where their filters block the images. We found prices on site so large the 5-minute walk to the Wetherspoons was fiscally viable even for a coffee!

There are also two Fishing Lakes at £7 a day ticket, which will cover either Dawn to Dusk or with the Bailiffs knowledge Dusk until Dawn. These lakes are managed with large fish being moved into the specimen pool regularly, I had one day fishing morning and evening (interrupted by weather) and had a good bag of Skimmer Bream from the Match pool. Together with a small bag of Rudd and Skimmer from the Specimen pool, being smashed off on the last cast of the day by a quite large looking Common Carp.

Security on site had a strange feel the compound where all the entertainment was had quite visible security yet the campsite security APPEARED lax, when the security lock on the shower block was broken so was just removed.

Locally
There is the Apex Lakes complex (fishing £5 a day tickets from local Angling shops), which is also a nature reserve, which has walking routes all around the park.

For cyclists there is part of the National Cycle way that runs along the Parrott Estuary and seashore into Burnham on Sea on to the Esplanade. The Pathway is a bird watchers paradise with loads of Specimens to see, my checklist shows Brambling, Reed Bunting, Spoonbill, Little Egret, Yellowhammer, Pied Wagtail, Yellow Wagtail, Grey Heron, Skylark, Shore Lark and the more usual Garden birds and Sea birds.

From the end of the path once you are on the Esplanade, you find the smallest pier in the UK. At the start of the Esplanade is the Hovercraft rescue base and the slipway for pleasure craft to launch which is across from the Morrisons supermarket and a Weatherspoons pub. The High Street (which is a pedestrian area but cars are allowed for access so be careful) has lots of little shops but not many of the usual big names with lots of food including a Newquay Pasty Shop.

We spent a very pleasant week at this site. It is mainly level and well drained with tents sited on a quite steep slope. It is run by the owners who are very helpfull and friendly who keep the site very clean, the grass well cut and the shop reasonably well stocked.
There are two shower/toilet blocks next to each other which are very clean, a dishwashing area and a laundry. The showers are very good with each cubicle having a dressing area with duck boards, bench, ample clothes hooks and plenty of free hot water.
The site is set in a valley and does not have the best TV reception although we managed OK with a small battery powered aerial stood on the gas locker lid. The dog walking area is great but quite steep but if you take a short walk out of the site towards Horner you will find miles of walks through natural forest along side the stream that runs at the side of the site. The site also has its own stables where you can hire a horse or pony and take escorted rides on Exmoor and Horner Valley.
If you are an early riser you can sit and watch the squirrels running around.

The site is ideally situated in the Exmoor national park and close to Devon. I would reccomend a visit at least once avoiding Porlock Hill and taking the toll road (£2.00) just for the views. Two miles away is a village called Selworthy which should not be missed. At the top of a short 1 in 4 hill, park in the Church car park for spectacular views. There are many miles of woodland walks and a village green surrounded by the most beautiful thatched cottages one of which is the Periwinkle tea rooms run by the National Trust. Here you will find cream teas to die for which are very good value for money in idyllic surroundings which we visited more than once. Spare a few crumbs for the birds and watch them eat with you at the table.

We had a wonderfull week and will be visiting again

Cheddar Caravan Club Site
Gas House Lane
Draycott Road
Cheddar
Somerset
BS27 3RL

Tel: 01934 740 207

To find site:- Access to the campsite is immediately off the A371. From the west coming through Cheddar as you exit the town in the direction of Wells turn right just before Cheddar Football Club. The entrance to the Caravan Club site is next to Cheddar Bridge Touring Park. The Club ask that there are no arrivals before midday as access is by single track road with no opportunities for passing. Please note that approaching the campsite via the road from Wells is narrow in places with several short stretches where it is more difficult for two large vehicles to pass.

The Cheddar Caravan Club Site is a fairly recent acquisition by the Club. It has now been completely refurbished with a superb new toilet block which includes a fully enclosed dish wash area. The site has 67 pitches of which about half are on gravel hardstandings set out in two areas. There are only two service points at either end of the site. In my view the site really needs a third point as depending on where you are pitched it can be a fair walk. There are no facilities for children. The electric bollards also have provision for digital TV hook up. Date of visit early October 2007.

The town of Cheddar is only a short walk away, the wardens suggest using the footpath at the back of the site to avoid a stretch of road with no pavements. For restaurants its best to walk in the direction of the Gorge. There is a Budgens supermarket within walking distance of the site. For most staying here the main reason will be the Cheddar Gorge and the associated tourist attractions. If you have time the Cathedral City of Wells is less than 10 miles away.

Open March - October

Facilities not so posh as some CC sites, but very clean and in good working order. Motorhome service point, as so often seems to be the case with Caravan Club sites, was not ideally situated.

We, thankfully, were allocated a hardstanding pitch due to the exceptionally wet season we’ve had - the back half of the pitch was several inches under water which meant wellies were the order of the day in order to get the van up on ramps, plug in to the electric, switch on the gas and get stuff out of the lockers, but at least being hardstanding we didn’t get stuck!

This a small, quite attractive site with a peaceful feel. We may well revisit at some stage.......

35 tourist/tent pitches, in 3 fields.

This is us & our friends in the middle field --- The view from the site

We have just returned from a week’s stay at the above site.
We had the pleasure of having seen the site before, even though we hadn’t stayed on it.

The 3 fields are all sloping. We were in the 2^nd part, the middle field.
In hindsight, it might have been better to have pitched in the upper field, at the top of the site. Not only would we have enjoyed a better view across the valley, we would have found it easier to decamp. We had a lot of rain during the week, and the ground was sodden. I found it hard with my FWD car to pull the caravan off the pitch, even though the car has traction control.

The general condition of the site was good. Grass was mown regularly, it was clean and litter free.
The toilet/shower block was old, but for all that, was serviceable. The gents part boasted 2 showers, 2 ’sit-downs’, 3 ’stand-ups’ and 2 washbasins. The ladies faired better with 3 showers, 3 cubicles and 3 washbasins. A small word of warning., on one occasion, while in No. 2 shower, early in the morning, I got pinned in one corner by the very hot water coming out. It only lasted a short time before it got to a reasonable level.
I had my normal moan about the lack of places in the showers to put things, like somewhere dry to put my glasses and the floor getting wet, so nowhere dry to dress.

There is no shop on site. The nearest shops are in Wells, about 5 minutes car drive away. There’s a fairly large Tesco’s in the centre of the town.
There is no playground or dog walk either, so it’s a basic site.

The lady owner/warden was apparent by her absence. We saw her once when we arrived (she only came up to see if we were who she thought we were). Our second sighting was when I managed to ’test’ the trip on the electric hook-up by ’testing’ the equipment in our new caravan !! only 8 amps BTW. The third time was when we went to find her to pay for the pitch (this was a week later !!)

The area was a good base for the local attractions:
Cheddar Gorge, Caves, Jacobs Ladder & The Mendip Hills
Wookey Hole Caves
Wells Cathedral
Clarkes Village (for the ladies) at Street
Glastonbury and it’s Tor. (the Old Abbey is worth a visit)
The Kennet & Avon Canal (we cycled from Bradford-Upon-Avon to Bath)
Bath & West Show at Shepton Mallet (early June)

Plans to return ? None at the moment. It’s a shame that the weather was so bad the week we were there. No matter how hard one tries to be objective, the rain did make a difference. We won’t be able to think of Wells now without remembering how wet it was.

Pitch price was low we felt at £6.50 PN including awning. There didn’t seem to be a charge for our electric hook-up ?

I’ve just spent 2 weeks at Holly Bush Park. It’s situated 5 miles south of Taunton and very near to Taunton Racecourse and is ideally placed for getting out and about as it’s very near the M5 and A303.

The site is small and informally laid out, with 40 pitches, and includes some seasonal caravans. It takes tents, as well as motorhomes and touring caravans and while we were there, a few lovely horsedrawn ’gypsy’ caravans stayed overnight a couple of times.

There is no childrens’ play area and the site tended to be quiet on the whole for the duration of my stay.

The toilet and shower block has 3 showers in the ladies and 3 in the gents, and can accommodate disabled people. It was clean and adequate.

There is a washing up area with 2 sinks, and a laundry room with a washing machine, tumble drier, ironing board and iron, and also a rotary clothes line outside.

There is a little shop on site which sells the basics, plus lovely ice cream.

The site is owned by a lovely young couple, Rachel and Gary, who will go out of their way to be helpful. They keep a good supply of local maps and leaflets of local attractions and on our arrival with our 3 Border Collies, we were given a printed sheet listing lots of nice places where we could walk the dogs and let them swim, most of which we would never have found ourselves as they were quite off of the beaten track.
There is no dog walk on the site, but almost immediately opposite the gate is Forestry Commission land which is ideal for their first walk in the morning and last walk at night, and there are loads of places locally where you can take the dogs.

The Blackdown Hills are a 10 minute drive away and the dogs can run for miles up there. There are loose horses grazing there but they tend to stay in a group and you can easily avoid them if you want to. A half hour walk (or 10 minute drive) from the site is a lovely lake where the dogs can swim.
Rachel also told us about the local dog-friendly pubs, one of which is right next door to the camp site and serves does fantastic food - HUGE portions!

I would recommend this site to anyone with dogs. Rachel and Gary have 3 dogs of their own which live on the site, and they are certainly not the sort of people who would tell you ’one bark from your dogs and you’re off’ like some sites that say ’dogs welcome’.

Hurn Lane CC Site--- A second report
Berrow
Burnham on Sea
Somerset
TA8 2QT

Tel: 01278 751 412

Web site: www.caravanclub.co.uk/Hurn Lane

This is a typical Caravan Club site, beautifully kept, showers you could eat from (if that’s your bag), and an oasis of calm among the hectic commercial sites at Brean.
The site has about 150 pitches, with 28 hard-standings, all very level, and all with electricity.
Its in 2 areas, all the hardstandings in the older area, nearer the entrance, the main advantage of the newer area being that the facilities are in the middle rather than off to one side as in the older part.

The site gets a bit waterlogged with just a little rain and the hardstandings proved useful.
The site is about 2.5 miles from the centre of Burham-On-Sea , about 1.5 from the nearest shop and chinese chippy and petrol.
The approach is by taking a right turn off the "main" Burnham-Brean road where the main road takes a sharp left bend, effectively going straight on, and it’s not signed at all. Follow this for about half-a-mile and turn left into Hurn Lane, site is 100 yds on the right. Biggest problem is the exit back onto the Brean-burnham road, view is a bit restricted with a van on the back.

There’s a Tesco with coffee shop but no petrol a mile from the M5 on the way into Burnham (3.5mi from site) and the Rosewood pub next to Tesco is one of Greene King’s Hungry Horse chain, with good value steak meals.
Talking of good value, the Highbridge Hotel in Highbridge, 4 mi from Burnham does a great carvery (£2.50 except Sundays £3.50), with sweets £1. Difficult to cook at that price!

If it sounds as if all we did was eat that’s not quite true. The beach is 10 mins walk from the site via a local nature reserve with open access and dogs are welcome on most of the beach most of the year.

Hurn Lane CC Site

Burnham-on-Sea
Somerset
TA8 2QT

Tel: 01278 751 412

To Find Site:
Leave M5 at junction 22 and take B3140 into Burnham on Sea. At mini roundabout, by petrol station, turn right signed for Berrow and Brean. Past the Berrow Inn pub the road takes a sharp turn to the left, at this point turn right onto the road ahead signed for Weston-Super-Mare and Animal Farm. In about three quarters of a mile turn left into Hurn Lane, single track with passing places, the site is on the right in two hundred yards.

This is a handy site for either a stop-over just off the M5 or for a longer stay. It has 135 pitches and is split into two separate areas. The one in front of Reception has mainly hardstanding and the other area is all grass which tends not to be used in the low season. Both sections have their own toilet blocks. Reception sells some basics and you can order newspapers. Tucked in the corner of the grass section is a play area for smaller children.

This corner of Somerset is covered in caravans and the Caravan Club is surrounded on three sides by these campsites, mainly statics. Although not open all year its season does extend from the middle of March to almost the middle of November. The site says no arrivals before midday.

The beach is about a 15 minute walk away and the sea a bit further on, with ominous notices about soft sand although strangely, despite this, they allow you to park on the beach!...

There is a Tesco supermarket not far from the M5 but it does not sell fuel but there are several garages in the area.
Highbridge is not far away should you need any caravan accessories or even a new van!... Further a field is Weston-Super-Mare which I thought looked quite nice. If you need something to do on a rainy day it might be worth visiting the Clarks Factory Village in Street which has lots of Outlet shops and is about 20 miles away.

Web site: www.caravanclub.co.uk/Lakeside

Tucked away in a fold in the hills on the Somerset, Devon border, this little site is great for those who want to get away from it all.
It’s very peaceful and quiet with just the noise of sheep bleating and pheasants in the surrounding woods to disturb you.

The site was fairly recently acquired by the Club and its amenities are not therefore up to the Club’s usual standards, however there are plans to invest several hundred thousand pounds upgrading the facilities.

Being on a hillside the pitches are on a bit of a slope so have your levelling blocks with you. Additionally the waste disposal points are at the top and bottom of the site, so invariably you have a bit of a trek.

There is a fishing lake nearby and a huge dog walk in an adjacent field that borders the River Exe. For kids there are no play facilities although there is a play field. That didn’t seem to bother our two very much as they zoomed about on their bikes.they seemed to have a great time.

A simple straightforward site with no pretensions in a lovely peaceful part of the world.

The entrance & restaurant --- Our pitch in the large CL field

There’s not much we can say about this site that is complimentary other than it is quiet, out of the way and just far enough from Brean (the caravan capital of the world) for the place to be out of sight.

The amenities here are what you would expect for a site that is classed as a CL. One old and tatty toilet, shared by both sexes. Bathroom facilities that are only available between 10am and 4.30pm at a charge of £1 per shower.

Next to the site is a small zoo. Lyn & I didn’t go in but it looked a bit tiny. There was no problem with the zoo apart from the resident donkey who brayed at the oddest hours, like 1am, 3am and 5am!

This is a site we will not be visiting again.

Caravan Club CL open Easter-October (members only)

I haven’t stayed on this CL but poked my nose around the hedge when staying at the CCC Holiday Site which runs in the next door field July/August time.

The CL is in a small partly sloping field, where you have a choice of where to pitch - at the top of the field which slopes but has views over St Audries Bay, or at the bottom of the field which is less sloping but the views tend to be obscured by a hedge.
There are electric points at the bottom at the field, I don’t know whether there are any at the top or not.
Would recommend you take ramps.

The CCC Holiday Site is in the much bigger field next door which slopes in all directions. We’ve never managed to get really level, even choosing the least sloping spot and using ramps. But the views make up for it - they are fantastic!!! The Quantock Hills, Minehead, Blue Anchor Bay, St Audries Bay, watch smoke signals from the trains on the West Somerset Railway.
Facilities are fresh water and elsan disposal, nowt else.
£4.75 per night 2006.
www.somersetda.co.uk/ This will take you to the CCC Somerset DA site

There is a petrol station on the main road which has a small Spar shop which stocks most things you might need, this is within walking distance. There is a bus service along the main road, frequency unknown. Pub (The Windmill Inn) within walking distance.

We’ve been to the Holiday Site twice, and quite likely to return because we love that view! Not sure whether we would go to the CL when the holiday site isn’t there, the views aren’t quite as good........

Cost: about £6 per unit - hot showers extra

All types of unit accepted. Open March to November.

Directions: From M5, junction 25, follow Taunton signs until you reach traffic lights at Creech Castle Hotel, where you turn right towards Bridgewater (get into the outside lane after passing the Sainsburys roundabout). Go through Bathpool, turn left SP Monkton Heathfield, then take the first left onto Dyers Lane after about 200 yards. The site entrance is on the left.

This site is on a working cider farm and within 1.5 miles of the M5/Taunton. It makes a good stopover en-route to Cornwall if you start to feel weary on the long drive. A small site, the pitches are set in an old orchard amongst the apple trees and it is a pleasant spot. There is one main field with hook-ups, which is open almost all the time, and a second field that is open a busy periods. Despite being so close to the motorway and Taunton it is a quiet site with very little traffic noise.

There is a modern toilet block, with showers (token required I think), hot water in hand basins and a pot-washing room, also with hot water. Local information is provided. On site you can buy the farms own cider - very nice (hic) if you like traditional cider - eggs from their own hens and sometimes some homegrown vegetables. Peacocks, guinea fowl and chickens wander the site.

The site is very close to the Bridgewater/Taunton canal, which makes for a lovely stroll. It is possible to walk along either the canal or the River Tone into the centre of Taunton, which is a good shopping centre and has a lovely cricket ground. There is also a shopping/entertainment complex nearby with multi-screen cinema etc. I have no idea what the local pubs are like as we’ve always bought cider when we’ve stayed here!

Site visited: 2005 & 2006

Westermill Farm is a working hill farm set in a valley beside the River Exe in the heart of Exmoor National Park, on the north coast of Somerset and Devon.

It’s a very quiet location and I’ve been there with the family and also for a lads’ weekend shooting deer (with a camera, not a rifle). There are 4 fields for camping, all beside the river, the last field allows camp fires but is the furthest from the toilets etc. The river is shallow enough to paddle in and the kids had fun walking along it. I beleive you can fish in it but I didn’t see many fish.

There are two toilet blocks, the ones nearest the farm are the nicest. The showers run off solar power and you’d be forgiven for being a bit dubious about the heat and power but I always found them great. Alas, Mrs Archie always seemed to get a cold one.

There’s a small shop in one of the farm outbuildings that sells all the basics plus some of the farm’s own top quality beef, lamb and pork including burgers and sausages. Mmmm.

The campsite is about as close to the centre of Exmoor as you can get, so everywhere is close to hand. You can set off from the campsite and just start walking - dogs are welcome. Exford is just a short drive down the road (probably too far to walk for a quick pint) and has some decent pubs and restaurants.

So, If you’re looking for a peaceful campsite in one of England’s beautiful national parks, Westermill Farm is great.

LiL H@zza says:
This campsite is one of my favourites because there is a river in it and my brother, my next door neighbour and his cousin and I walked up and down it. It is not a very big campsite but with a big field near it good for playing football and chasing animals but don’t get too close! (DO NOT chase animals! - Archie)

Open Mar - Oct

Visited July 2005

90 pitches, members only.

Steeply sloping site with some more level pitches at the bottom. Hardstandings at the bottom of the site. Lower end of site can flood in bad weather, I understand, although weather was fine when we were there, so thankfully no personal experience of flooding. Electric available.

Pitches at top of site had great views over surrounding countryside and some pretty good sunsets, but caravans there were up on quite a lot of blocks to get them anywhere near level.

Facilities fine although limited numbers of washbasin cubicles and showers.

The directions in BSB/Your Place in the Country do work, but it felt like you were getting lost in a building site when you followed them! You also go through another camp site to get to the club site which is a bit confusing........

Nice enough site, but I suspect not one we will be revisiting.
