 DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR SAT NAV! Go to the Esplanade and then up Blenheim Road to North Hill keep going it is on the very top over the cattle grid!

We had a lovely greeting from Pete and Yvonne, they have only been on the site 3 weeks but have already done a lot of work to improve things.

Facilities clean, Very quiet site, just what we were looking for.

Bring your levellers it is a bit slopey. Wonderful walk down to town through the woods but if you are lazy like us get a Taxi back up.

Accepts non members, check the price if not.

 After a week in Minehead Butlins with our nephew, this was a welcome relief.

With Minehead just a 30-45 minute walk away, down a steep valley, it makes it a perfect start to all the walkers out there. Even a few hundred yards further up the road is the start of many walks.

The site itself is on a hill, although there are many 'flat' areas to pitch up. We had a great one that had a hole in the surrounding tree fence, overlooking the sea, with Butlins in the far distance

This site is not for the feint of heart. The ascent/decent through the narrow village roads is however well worth it.

Facilities are just right, with shower blocks, a wash/dryer room, and washing up room

The only bad side was where we were pitched, near the trees, children would often come and play within these areas, as there is no play area. We did get woken up a few times.

If you fancy a day out on a nice day, the Valley of Rocks, or Lorna Doone Valley, is only an hours drive way, well worth a visit.

Or the Minehead Steam Railway is in the centre of town.

Not forgetting if you do have kids, Butlins is only 10 minutes away by car.

If you are trying to decide on sites in this area, make this site your priority.

 OK site, handy for Minehead, but there are more picturesque places to stay on and around Exmoor. This place is more an alternative to a B&B than a camping experience. 30 mins walk to the centre of Minehead, but the site is on the busy A39, so not quiet if you're on that site of the site.

Very expensive! £18 for 2 of us and a Bongo. Then you have to pay for showers and hot water on top! Never paid for water on a campsite before.

 Had a great time at this site. People were great very clean site and was well up on the hills with great views and lovely place to walk on the hills, as for them I only one word wowwwww

The shower block was clean and well looked after. I would be coming back to this site again.

Its very handy to get to Minehead which takes about 5 mins in the car but there is a foot path on site with a great walk in the woods which takes about 30mins

Reviewer: Jo123 5 reviews from this member

 We had a great week staying at this site. The wardens were friendly and helpful. The facilities block was clean if a little dated, but I never had to queue for the showers.

As others have said, the site is sloping (check out the address - Hill Road, North Hill!) We didn't find this too much of a problem but some of the motorhomes on site needed plenty of levelling blocks.

The road from the site down into the town is a bit hair-raising, but OK if you stick to the route recommended in the C&CC site book. Minehead itself was great and exceeded my expectations. Try out the bakery and pastie shops on the main road!

Also, there were some lovely woodland and moor walks and sea views close to the side. Dunster, Porlock and Porlock Weir nearby (all within a few miles) are well worth a visit if (like me) you like quaint villages, nice pubs and tasty ice cream.

 This is a lovely site, overlooking Minehead if you are lucky enough to get a pitch with a view through the trees.

Wardens were very friendly and plenty of time to chat.

Toilets and washing up facilities were fine. The approach road to the site is quite narrow and twisty, so probably not accessible to large motorhomes and the reason caravans aren't allowed.

We walked into Minehead through the woods (didn't manage to walk back I'm ashamed to say!) and got the steam train to Watchet (Tesco vouchers).

A very good site and will visit again if we're in the area.

 Wonderful campsite.

Staff were very kind, helpful and patient. Took time to help us find a good pitch and advise us on pitching.

A small site with great views. The toilet blocks were small but adequate and very clean. The bonus for us was that we could walk into town. It was a steep walk through woodland, may not suit everyone but was fine for us. My partner carried our one year old daughter in a backpack! It was great not having to use the car for the time we were there.

Minehead is a fabulous little town. Plenty of places to eat out and the beach is lovely. There were great walks along the coastal path and across Exmoor from the campsite. On one day we walked to the next town along the coast. It took about four hours. We had lunch there and came back on the bus! We spent our last day riding the steam train.

We would certainly return for another holiday and have no hesitation in recommending the site.

 Camped with large tent for 3 nights. Plenty of tent space even in August, although most mobile home spaces taken. Some hookups available. Helpful owners showed us to good spot when we arrived.
Site is sloping (well it's on a hillside) but great views and peaceful location make up for it. Tricky drive up hill through narrow lanes, not for nervous drivers; no caravans on site probably for this reason.
Spotless well-tended site with lots of sheltered spots. Clean shower block, plenty of very hot water and decent showers. Will certainly use again if we revisit this area.

 We spent three days on this site, one of which was very wet. The site is in one of the best settings I've ever been in. There are sea views and Exmoor just outside the gate. Make sure you turn right at least once! Minehead isn't a bad little town. There are some nice pubs and quaint cottages at the harbour end. Even Butlins isn't that offensive!

Toilets and showers were clean and I never had to wait.

Only let down with this site is that there are hardly any flat pitches. They are only gentle slopes, though.

We will return.

Reviewer: Grecian Ranger 8 reviews from this member

 We have stayed at this site a couple of times now and really like it.

It is located in a peaceful rural setting but is convenient both for the town and for walking on the neighbouring moorland - ideal if you have a dog!

Despite being located in a high position above the town it is well sheltered and even in heavy rain drains very quickly hence no flooded pitches.

The facilities were always clean and well maintained but it's a shame they don't have an alternative toilet facility for use when the main block is being cleaned.

The site does slope in most places so during busy periods you may well end up on quite a sloping pitch which although not ideal is manageable with a bit of improvisation.

The area is very scenic and the town offers all the usual seaside attractions, while the West Somerset Railway provides the opportunity to leave the car behind and enjoy the nearby seaside towns and villages and the beautiful Somerset countryside.

A great site enhanced by the fact there are no caravans, nothing against them as such but tents and caravans don't mix well in my experience!
