This is a lovely caravan holiday park. They are all privately owned. It’s a lovely quiet area with gorgeous views.

Great little holiday park, very pleasant, has a small shop , lovely toilet block, it's own beach, with good access to the coastal footpath towards Watchet and Minehead.

We camped here last weekend through the awful rain, which didn’t ruin our experience at all, we camped down by the bottom so quite a walk to the shower block. The shower and toilets were relatively clean. The hand driers weren’t working for some reason. The building was warm even though it was freezing outside! Lovely view of the sea in the morning.

We had a lovely stay - in tents with no electric. The camping field is gently sloping but that's no issue if you pitch the tent right! Fantastic view of the sea and quiet enough that you can hear the waves - bliss. The facilities are dated but absolutely fine, the showers in the camping field are free to use and cleaned regularly. As per other comments - you need to press a button outside the shower to turn it on and there is only one hook, so come prepared. There is also a room for washing up and drinking water. It is a steep walk up from the camping field so be mindful! The beach is a short (but steep!) walk from the site; it's pebbly but has lots of fossils and is dog friendly. The road is closed to Watchet but it's only a 20 minute drive to get there, and there is a nice easy walk (turn left at the main gate and walk along the road until you spot it) to get there too - probably also only 20 mins. The weather was better than forecast which I can only put down to management arranging - thank you! 🤣🌞
