 We visited Burrowhayes this Whitsun half-term with another family, 5 children in all age ranging from 15 to 3yrs. They all had a fantastic time without games consoles, body boarding at Woolacombe, Pony trekking up Exmoor with the campsites excellent riding school, crabbing at Porlock Weir, riding on the steam train at the West Somerset Railway and evenings spent toasting marshmallows on the BBQ / firepit kept of the ground.
Burrowhayes site is in a beautiful valley with a lovely stream running by. The stream is a fairly safe distance away from the tents and only wellie deep. All the kids thought it was great to play in, obviously the toddler being supervised.
Very clean and modern facilities with free hotshowers (No push buttons here!) with hair dryers, great laundry room with washing machine, tumble dryer and iron. Inside potwash room with plenty of sinks with plugs!
Very reasonable on site shop with newspapers and friendly staff. Julian the owner was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the Ship Inn at Porlock Weir, a good choice of ales and with live music on the bank holiday-the food / menu looked good.
Excellent walks / drives from the site up Exmoor, we saw lots of Exmoor ponies with foals, buzzards, highland sheep & cattle. Any kids that ride will love the trecks up exmoor. This site is great and good value, going back later this year. Thanks Julian-The Redwoods.

Had a lovely 4 day stay in Burrowhayes this easter holidays. We were allowed to choose our pitch and we had plenty of room around us. The site wasn't that busy, I guess because of the time of year.
It is a beautifully set site with forest behind it, accessible by a footpath (very handy for exercising our dogs) and has a stream running alongside it. It is in walking distance to the local town of Porlock, although we really enjoyed a 5 minute drive into the larger town of Minehead where there is a sandy beach (be aware dogs not allowed in summer).
There is loads to do in the area, and we particularly enjoyed walking in the nearby area of Dunster, a medieval village and the National Trust forest. The camp site also has horse riding stables, which although we didn't use, looked very popular.
The site's facilities were lovely, with clean showers and toilets, and was also well heated. The only small criticism I would have is that we camped on quite a slope, but there were some slightly more level pitches around us.

We visited Burrowhayes Farm for the first time this weekend. What a find! We originally tried to book at another location very near but the owners would not accept us as we would be arriving after 6pm (in the dark!) Burrowhayes couldn't have been more different, they waited for our arrival, welcomed us & nothing was too much trouble.
Julian bought duckboards to our pitch & also lent us a tv ariel (FOC) The showers were piping hot & spotless. We had a fantastic weekend, and walk a dog walkers paradise with Horton Woods just a few feet away! Our Springer Spaniel loved it & so did we.
We are looking forward to many visits again next year when they re-open in March. Downside - we had to come home!

Had a great time even though the weather was a bit on the wet side, we had duckboards delivered to our caravan to help and the site owner was very helpful. Showers were very clean as was the laundry facilities. Shop on site was very good and well stocked with all essentials. The pitch was 1st rate and the site was very clean and tidy. Minehead 20 mins drive porlock 3 minutes away with lots of shops. We will be returning next year, as we enjoyed our stay.

Spotted this site on the internet, it had good reviews so we thought we’d give it a go. The welcome from all of the staff was warm, friendly, and most helpful. As I clambered out of the car after a five and a half hour drive I was slightly taken aback by the look of the camping ground which seemed to be on a very steep slope, however when escorted to our pitch by the site owner we found a relatively level area at the top of the hill away from all the hubbub of the family / kiddie campers. I guess finding a level pitch anywhere inland on Exmoor would be akin to winning the lottery.
The WC’s and shower blocks are first rate, clean, modern and free of charge, considering the numbers on the site during July, the staff must have worked very hard throughout the day to keep everything so spotlessly clean. Although the site was busy we never once had to queue for a shower, and the water was always hot no matter what time of day.
There is a small but well stocked site shop, so you are always guaranteed the essentials. Unlike so many on site shops the prices are reasonable, on a par with most village shops, but you are only a 5 minute drive from Porlock and there is a small supermarket there for anything slightly more out of the ordinary. (Don’t make the mistake of cycling to Porlock, there’s one hell of a hill on the way back)
There are a number of good pubs in the local area, most offer food too, however the “bottom” Ship at Porlock weir, or the “top” Ship in Porlock Village are a must. Both have excellent menus and wonderful local ales.
Overall a fabulous site in a wonderful setting, we will be going back.

This was our second year staying on this site! We love it there, it is on a serious slope. Which makes coming home and sleeping in a flat bed seem strange! Its nothing that cant be dealt with.
The facilities are of a high standard and kept really clean and tidy. Shop is really handy, we wouldn't have survived this summer without the laundry either.
Julian, the owner, is great, really friendly and helpful. Runs a very relaxed site.
There is a lot to do, we still haven't done it all! REALLY recommend the Porlock safari with Richard. He is a mine of information about the moors and the local history and characters. He knows where to find the red deer, no matter what the weather! There are great beaches nearby and plenty of good places to eat. A walk along the sea front at blue anchor watching the sunset is another favourite of ours. This area beats Spain! No matter what the weather!

Great campsite with friendly and helpful owners.
Well thought out and clean toilet block (no money required for the showers and plenty of hooks). Well stocked shop. Good rural location with a site that strikes a good balance between being a formal campsite, but also being in the country.
The riding stables are also part of the farm/campsite and our children loved the horse ride.
Good location and convenient for getting fish and chips from Porlock.
Overall a great place to stay and thoroughly recommended.

Lovely quiet site in a beautiful position. Good shop, pretty stream, pony trekking and beautiful horner wood close by, a dog walkers paradise. Close to Porlock and minehead via the coastal walk from selworthy. I have visited this site about 8 times over the last 10 years. Best spot for caravan is by the stream at the front of the site, tents have a slightly sloping field. Hope this review helps.

Third visit. Excellent campsite wash facilities. Kept really clean. Site shop is well stocked and even took our order for daily newspaper. Staff always very helpful.A cheery good morning from the stable girls too!
Had an electric hook-up pitch, which slightly sloped, but nothing to worry about.
Dog friendly site, with well behaved dogs/owners. It's a pity there isn't a field where the dogs could be let off the lead. Although there is the footpath just off site.
Walked into Porlock, but forgot I was another year older and the return trip was up hill. Porlock town has two grocery shops if you're stuck for food. There is a Tesco's at Minehead too.
Nice Tea garden at Horner, a short walk up the road, with varied menu. Recommend the cream tea.
Minehead, Dunster & Blue Anchor close by.
Will be looking forward to my fourth visit.

This is a great quiet little site next to a lovely flowing stream that offers all the facilities needed and is ideally located for walkers.
The site itself is divided into different areas. As you enter there is an flat area for campers and caravans with electric hookup facilities. Then there are a number of static caravans available, then another flat sections offering electric hookups. Sadly the area offered for tents is situated on the slight incline. This was the only downside of the site I can see.
Facilities were excellent. A new shower/toilet block was erected in 2004, and it is kept very clean. Good number of shower and toilet cubicles available to avoid any waiting. Showers were hot and toilets have good quality toilet roll!
Pot wash room with another good number of sinks, also a lower sink for any wheelchair users / getting smaller children to help! Next door to this is a disabled toilet and shower and then a laundry room offering washing machines and driers.
Locations is great for walkers, offering numerous different route variations. Get the map out and have a look!
Porlock is a short walk away as well as Minehead, with it's Tesco, being a 10 minutes drive. Dunster and Dunster Castle is 20 minutes by car, great for all you National Trust members.
There is a stable block next door and horses are available for those keen to ride, great if your kids are into this.
Overall a great site that I will visit again
