 Our first stay here, and what a great site it proved to be. We were the only tent (it was cold weather), although there were quite a few caravan tourers and campervans. The modern toilet/shower facilities are excellent - heated rooms, very hot showers, and all very clean and well kept. The shop is open all day, and the owner/staff are very friendly and helpful. A very quiet site, well away from the main A39 road. No noise at all. I'd give the site 9/10 - it loses 1 point for the slight slope on the tent pitches (caravan pitches are OK). But a terrific place to stay.
The walks in this area are superb, and you can do Dunkerry Beacon from the site. National Trust tea-room just a few minutes walk away which is where many walkers start from.
Can thoroughly recommend the Ship Inn in Porlock, and the other Ship Inn at Porlock Weir (confusing isn't it) The food at both is excellent and good value. Kitnors tea-room at Bossington (opposite National Trust car park) has an impossibly pretty garden, and does great cream teas.

An absolute delight to come upon this wonderful and fully equipped campsite. Turned up on a very busy Sat evening at 7pm. Julian was extremely helpful and found us a site straight away and helped us out with an extended hook up lead when ours wasn't long enough. The showers were hot and everlasting, the toilets clean and a joy to use! Tariffs are very reasonable and good value, no charges for dogs which is generous. We will definitely be back. Many thanks for your hospitality.

Have just returned from a weeks stay at this site, WOW!.
My Wife stayed there back in '82, so it was my first visit, and I loved it, so peaceful, incredible.
The toilet block is kept immaculately clean, as is the rest of the site, and considering there was a mass booking of mountain bikers for a weekend event the place was spotless. The tent pitches are all sloping to some degree, but not too bad. It is quite a large site with beautiful walks over the fence and into the trees beyond. Pollock itself is close but involves either the busy A39 or a 1:4 hill but still walk able, I recommend the the royal oak pub.
Julian and his team do a fantastic job on the site and are very friendly. The shop is smallish but adequate for our needs.
I am definitely going back!

Three nights immediately following the last weekend before nearly all children returned to state schools - what would we find? Had the site been looking a bit 'tired' after the busy-ness, it would have been understandable. But instead we found the wash block facilities to be absolutely spotless. They're well designed, too. And the showers are included in the overnight charge.
Maybe half the site is level or terraced, and pitch areas without EHU are either on a large central sloping area or up towards the top of the site near the woods. Finding a level non-EHU pitch is difficult! Even with lots of choice the best we could find meant that one of us slept on a slight slope sufficient to promote rolling sideways out of bed. Balance when standing in the tent can be a problem, too, so if this is important for you then maybe you have to pass on this site if you're a tent user.
The location is fantastic and the staff friendly. Lots of duckboards had been made available for some of the wetter periods this Summer has brought - a real sign of professionalism. Free WiFi to allow smartphone users to check the weather forecast and availability (or otherwise) of things like the 'Waverley' day trip to Lundy (cancelled at the very last minute the week we were there).
Several walk options directly from the site, picture-postcard villages nearby (don't miss the cream teas), a well-stocked shop, helpful staff - just about perfect. Only a half-mile from the A39, but bear in mind that in many parts of UK the A39 would be classified as a B road so plan your journey with that in mind.

We have just returned from our second stay at this site. We enjoyed it so much the first time that we booked up straight away for 2 weeks later.
With two young children and a dog this site was perfect for us. The size of the camp was just right for the children to feel they had some freedom playing on their bikes, scooters and the tree swings which were randomly placed around the site. We were pleased that there wasn’t a specific play area.
The horse riding is a bonus and the children enjoyed going out for their rides.
There is so much to do and see in the area, but the forest walks and streams just from the site are amazing and fabulous for walks.
The on-site facilities are also good, with spacious and clean pot wash and laundry rooms. The toilet and shower blocks are kept very clean and tidy, with regular cleaning taking place. I didn’t have to queue once during either stay and this was in high season.
There are plenty of water taps around the camp, even at the top of the hill where we were and plenty of bin areas too with recycling facilities.
There is a good shop and the staff are all very friendly.
We love the fact that the site feels very relaxed with its rules, but it all works!

The pitches are not that level and the mud is very red when it rains, but its a Fantastic site I'd stay again, with hot showers the cleanest toilet block I have seen! The shop stocks stuff you might actually want to buy and the owners and staff have time for all your questions and the answers to most of them.
The walking in the area is supperb you walk to Porlock and from there to Salt marshes turn left for Porlock Weir a little harbour village and right for Bossington an Hurstone Point
There are two pubs in the local village about a mile away both do food all day.

Our first time at this site, we had been recommended by neighbours, on arrival we noticed a large sign warning of very soft ground, considering all the rain we have had this was not surprising. The site for caravans was flat, tents were on a slope and on our visit on the last week of school holidays was full. The entrance to the site is wonderful with a small stream running down the side of the site and dry stone walls and bridges over, the children from the site were happily playing in the stream.
We received a very warm reception from the owners and were personally taken to our pitch (something that rarely happens these days) which was not as wet as we had expected, after being shown where all the facilities were, bins, water, recycling etc we were told about the 'duck boards' to help if conditions got wetter, I don't know if this was good forethought by the owners or the site regularly gets wet but within an hour we had pitched up, had our canopy out and a lovely hard wood decking area outside the van.
The facilities were great toilet block was always very clean and plenty of hot water, the pot wash was inside and again very clean, there was a laundry however we never used it. There is a small shop which was well stocked with all you needed and we had the opportunity to order fresh croissants each morning, prices were a little dear but not that you felt ripped off.
There is a riding stables next to the site which was well attended from the site, with pony trekking and longer rides available.
The area around porlock is wonderful with some great walks, Exmoor national park, the doone valley, bossington and lynton and lynmouth all worth visiting. We found porlock weir great with an evening pint of Somerset cider outside the ship inn watching the sunset over the sea. This was our first trip to this site and despite the soft ground we will be back soon.

Just returned from our third short visit this year.
Absolutely love this site, its quiet peaceful and staff so welcoming especially Julian the owner(always has a cuppa in his hand) nothing is too much trouble for staff at Burrowhayes.
Great for couples, dog owners and families especially young families as there aren't any of the usual campsite rules i. E no scooters, bikes, ball games etc. Which lets face it children of today need encouragement to have just good old fashioned play! it was a pleasure to see kids being kids, even our teenage son thought its great that kids can run around and play.
Dogs too had a fab time with all the woods, streams and lanes to walk.
There is also a shallow river nearby which kids were playing in and building dams with their parents ( haven't seen that for years!) fabulous
Facilities are the cleanest I have seen, showers have useful wire shelving to hang your shampoo etc. Shop adequate for your needs and lots of places to visit nearby, best if you are National Trust members as you are in the Holnicote Estate which is a beautiful place to explore.
Can see why campers have been returning for years here, we will most definitely be

We spent two nights on this fab campsite. The facilities were spotless. Make sure you have 20p peices for hairdyrers ladies (if you have no hook up) Well stocked shop for anything you have forgotten and the staff were lovely. We were group of three tents an the owner made sure we had plenty of space. Very helpful. Only downside for us was we were on a slope. For two nights it was ok but if it had been a week I think we would have found it hard work. Overall. It was lovely site and we would recommend to all

We stayed for 4 nights, very nice popular campsite,
Toilets & showers & pan cleaning room etc are very clean & tidy, set in a picturesque spot with a small river/stream that the kids can paddle in (though it's very cold!).
Pony trekking on site is a nice bonus.
Only criticism is that there is no set area for kids to play in, but there was plenty of room around the tent areas to kick a ball etc.
Access is good, only a short country lane from the main A39.
