Camped with out 17 yr old for 9 days in August this year and had a lovely time. Site is great location for walking and exploring Somerset coast.
The site slopes yes but not so it is impossible to pitch or get comfortable - and there isn't much flat land on Exmoor!
As said elsewher the facilities are overdue an overhaul but still serviceable and clean.
There are two areas, one more suitable to families but no play area so if you have hyperactive kids be warned :)
Wardens were great, friendly and helpful.
Would be a great base for walkers, mountainbikers or more leaisurely explorers and we will be using again.

Very friendly staff. facilities are very dated and need modernising but kept very clean.
The walk to Minehead is all downhill but means a steep return. Lots of walks from the site with the Exmoor ponies close by.
recommend for relaxing, cycling and walking

After a week in Butlins, we were wanting a peaceful following week.
The write up suggested this.
All was lovely, until kids woke up...
Nice views, through the trees...
The toilet block won the award for 'BEST' in 2007, probably when it was first built/refurbished, certainly wouldnt be in top 150 now...
Great starting point for walks/hikes.
Minehead, is 30mins walk away, down a 25% hill.
The road is not welcoming. Very Narrow, and winding.
Very friendly staff, cannot fault them.

Lovely peaceful site. Assistant was very helpful. Site is located up a long steep hill and it is a sloping site but views down to Minehead are wonderful. It is a 20/30 minute walk down to town - we went via the footpath in the woods but it is steep and bumpy so care is needed and took a taxi back up (around £5)
The toilet/shower block does need updating as it is looking tired but it was clean.
Hope to revisit again another year

Sadly it must be said that, without doubt, this is the worst CCC site we have ever used. Lovely location overlooking the coast, very quiet with well drained grass pitches. However the ground is very stoney (rock pegs required) and virtually all the pitches for tents are sloping (not 'some' as described in the club's own description).
The toilet facilities were the real issue for us as a family. Very old with mould in the shower cubicles, evidence of penetrating damp on the walls, cobweb encrusted lighting and loose and missing toilet seats.
The area has plenty to offer in the way of coastal and moorland walking but dog owners beware, ticks are everywhere and you will need to check your pet daily.
Prevention is better than cure so best apply Frontline (or a simular flea/tick application) before visiting.

A wonderful location and very peaceful. Contrary to some reviews we found the facilities spotlessly clean with lovely hot water. Would thoroughly recommend it to our friends and family and will be back.

We planned to stay for just 3 nights and ended up staying for 10. We are a couple in our twenties, our first time camping and we really enjoyed it. We were made to feel welcome and the views from the site were spectacular. We had to travel into Minehead via car... There was a possible foot path but the hill was quite steep and with the weather not being 100% we decided against it. The site itself was well maintained, the toilets and showers were always clean. We would recommend this site and will be staying again in the future. :-)

This site is located in a truly peaceful but elevated position overlooking Minehead and the coast. Picturesque walks can be accessed directly from the site onto the coastal footpath with Minehead town just a short walk away via Moor Woods. West Somerset Steam Railway is a must for all steam enthusiasts with the mediaeval village of Dunster closeby. A very warm welcome was given by the wardens but unfortunately both male/female toilet/shower blocks were in a very poor state of cleanliness. Shower curtains were filthy and needed replacing. A snail had made his home on the back of the shower door my wife used. Obviously not adequately cleaned daily as it remained for the duration of our stay! The mens' toilet smelt awful and I was amazed and astonished to see dog owners exercising their dogs on the campsite grass where campers pitched their tents/motorhomes. C'mon there were woods only a few yards away. These negatives should be addressed as the site deserves 5* status for its tranquillity and location.

When we arrived the wardens were having a heated debate out the back of the reception and didn't answer our doorbell ringing for sometime, didn't help it was pooring with rain at the time.
The bathrooms and washing up facilities were dirty, complete with spiders, cobwebs and dead flies.
The site is on really bad slopes and we found ourselves having to stay on a pitch that was completely unappropriate for a tent. To the point it felt like you were sleeping on the edge of a cliff every night.
Wardens were friendly enough but its obvious they weren't doing any work to maintain the site or keep it even vaguely clean.

I've been on this site a couple of times due to the area as very easy to start walks from. Only thing i can say is the shower block, i'm sure when cleaning it wouldn't hurt to remove the spinders an webs. To think that the shower block is closed for a couple of hrs for cleaning, yet when reopened it doesn't look any differant.Is a shame as it lets this site down as my son an daughter wont shower while there :(
Maybe the block should be knocked down an rebuilt as i'm sure a few more showers wouldn't go a miss either.
But all an all i did enjoy my camping trip there.

This is the site that we return to time and time again, a little bit of magic that we perhaps should keep secret! no razmataz, just good basic facilities. Amazing walks and veiws on the doorstep, straight out of the gate and onto Exmoor,wild ponies at the gate, or very near but you have to go and look and deer too if you are patient.Walk down to the town through woods on the coastal path, the town is always good, great butcher and fishmonger there then get a taxi back up the hill.Try the Exmoor safari for an interesting trip! or get the steam train or open top bus. Cream teas at Selworthy, horse riding on the moor, Tarr steps (Romans)Dunster and the Castle is lovely..... I could go on and on, but just sitting on site is so peacefull. Don't all come it will get too busy!

Disappointed (Club member) said...
There is a dispute between management about opening hours for laundry facilities for campers which meant we cancelled a day out to do laundry only to find out the facilities are available in the evening. Showers and toilets floors were cleaned daily but not very good standard. Excellent location near coast and moors.
