 Nice small site, gated entry via a keypad, nice and safe for kids. Very chilled out vibe, been several times over last couple of years.
Lots of covered/shaded areas as it is set in a wood. Handy if it's very hot or raining.
Some large grass areas for kids to play, small outdoor pool is a relief on hot days.
Camp shop and a clean toilet and shower block.
All flat and level, apart from the odd drainage ditch. A couple of picnic tables dotted around, but could do with a few more perhaps.
Chard town nearby if you need to do a bigger shop, and it's an easy drive to the south coast from the site.

Recently spent 3 days at this site. Site is lovely and the outdoor pool was very welcome given the heat wave. The toilets were clean and servicable and the playground and surrounding woodland kept the grandson very happy. However I did find the owners slightly officious. A few less rules wouldn't go amiss.
Saying this we would return but request a site away from the house as it felt like we were being watched.
We found the local supermarket for all our needs and Lyme Regis was within easy travelling.

Decided to give this site a try after being recommended by friends. We only live 30 mins away but wanted to come for a practice run with the children.
On arrival at the site there is a security gate. There is a number to ring to obtain the code to get it. Reception is located in the shop to the far left of the site. Friendly welcome by the lady and her 2 dogs. We were told we could pitch where ever we wanted. We pitched in the middle section not far from the toilet block.
The site is all level and amongst the trees. There is a play park with trampoline across the way. The toilet block is a little dated. There is woods to walk through.
We had a visit from the dog, Billy, who helped himself to my Son's sausages from his plate!
All in all this is a lovely quiet site. Well spaced out. There is a swimming pool but we didn't use this, but will definitely return again!

We have just returned from a week stay here. We had a lovely time, and fantastic weather. The site is beautiful - being in the middle of a forest - and the pitches are spacious. We were in a touring caravan, and therefore told where to go, but I think tents could pretty much go where they liked. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the pool a definite bonus - especially as nicely heated! We loved the firepit hire too, although the included skewers were broken, making toasting of marshmallows as advertised impossible! The biggest downside for me was the toilets and showers - only 3 of each for ladies and 2 for men! They were also not as clean as I would have liked - the entrance being full of spiders and webs, which remained for our whole stay! We also felt that closing for cleaning at 11am for an hour - leaving just 1 toilet for the whole site - was very inconvenient! The queue was at times huge!

Lovely site this was our second visit. Weather was excellent. Warm welcome good facilities the best being the pool shower block could do with small improvement but all in all we love it.
In fact third visit this year look forward to seeing Richard and family once again.
PS Marshmallows over the fire pit is the best.

If your looking for the perfect camp site in a perfect location then this is the one for you. I have just returned from a weeks camping with my family of 2 boys 8&4.
The pitches are spacious and nestled under and around the trees. (Though no pitch outlines which makes it a little hard to stop people walking over your boundarys )
The facilities are clean and even though there is only one block for the whole site I didn't have to queue. (though could do with updating and possible addition of another block)
The pool is a bonus and both my children loved it. The play are was also a big hit and didn't see my eldest till it was dark most nights as this was a fab place for the children to hang out.
The owners are lovely, always happy to help though the shop could be stocked with more local produce.
The fire pits are fab, yes £16 to hire per night may sound steep but well worth a last night party. You collect it all ready to light and a box of more wood. We lit ours at 8. 30 and it was still going at 1am!
It is a shame that we live so far away from Alpine Grove but would deffently return next time we are down in Sometset.

We spent a long weekend at this campsite and thoroughly enjoyed it. The site itself was great, with our tents being hidden away among the tress. Facilities were clean and I never had to wait for either the showers or toilet. Swimming pool kept the kids occupied, as well as the trampoline and table tennis table. Close enough to the town for it to be convenient, but far enough away for it to be peaceful and quiet. The owners couldn't have been more helpful, which all adds up to make this the best campsite we have ever been too.

Lovely setting in a lovely area. Swimming pool was a real bonus with having small children and its very handy having a shop on site. The negatives were the cost of the fire pit was expensive at £16 per night! We camp all the time and have never had to pay so much and also we had to pay £3 to use the family bathroom which when your paying top price for the night it should all be in. We did enjoy the site but the cost of everything put a slight dampener on the holiday.

I stayed for 2 nights with gorgeous weather and loved the dappled sunlight coming through the trees, its very peaceful and an excellent place to relax. The site was full but I never had to queue for toilets or showers, both were always clean and I liked having the squeegee in the showers so I could leave the cubicle the same as I found it. There was plenty of hot water for showering and washing up, the only thing that was a little annoying was the push button shower only lasted about 30 seconds each time, which is a pain when trying to get soap suds out of your hair.
The pool area was a real sun catcher and I enjoyed sitting there while the children played in the small pool. There is a good play area open from 8am to dusk with climbing frame swings, slide, a large trampoline and table tennis table (bring your own bats and balls) the woods are superb with lots of pathways to explore and offering some very private pitches for the braver woodland camper.
The shop is small but adequate for the size of the site and not too over priced, the children enjoyed going in for penny sweets and ice creams. The owners are very friendly and helpful, offering use of EHU extension cable for a fully refundable £20 and ready to light fire pits costing £16 a night.
A fantastic site wish I could find more like this one, luckily its not too far from home so I will be returning… again…. And again!

Just the sort of campsite that all campsites should be modelled on. Really friendly, good clean facilities, small shop and bakery delivery in the morning. Nice secluded pitches, a really peaceful setting. Lovely dappled light coming through the trees- a million miles from the sort of bland, lines of caravans in a field, site that can make camping seem like a mug's game. Alpine Grove is very beautiful and peaceful. We will definitely return
