## About Porlock Bay View Campsite

Tucked between the ancient oak woodland of Horner Valley and Hawkcombe's wooded slopes, Porlock Bay View Campsite serves up sweeping vistas across moorland, rivers and the west Somerset coast. This relaxed farm site—open seasonally as a pop-up—occupies prime walking country: you can climb straight up to Dunkery Beacon, Exmoor's highest point, from the gate, and dark skies reward stargazers after sunset. Facilities are straightforward—three loos, a shower, washing-up sinks and a communal freezer—plus logs for campfires, which add atmosphere on cooler evenings.

Campers praise the spectacular scenery and peaceful setting, though a few note the facilities can feel basic for some tastes. Still, it's a wildlife-rich, walker-friendly base with cycle hire, horse riding and adventure sports all nearby. Porlock village lies 10 minutes' drive away for supplies and tea rooms, while Minehead offers more extensive shops a quarter-hour further on.

## What visitors say

Michael Jones ★★★★★

This site was amazing, Dawn was an absolute delight, so helpful and welcoming and extremely conscious we had a comfortable stay. Such a beautiful location, peace and tranquility and the amazement of the view just made the long evening’s relaxing with a drink that made this special. We stayed here as part of our South West Coastal Path Trek, great location. Superb facilities and it’s just right.

Isabelle Leonard ★★★★★

Had the most amazing trip to Porlock Vale Campsite! The campsite was perfect, set on a quiet field with amazing views of the surrounding area and the Bristol Channel! It was so picturesque and peaceful. Toilet and shower facilities were great. Dawn was so friendly, welcoming and super helpful. She had two gorgeous dogs Mia and Rosie who we all adored! Thank you Dawn for a perfect stay at your campsite, we’ll be recommending to everyone!

Andrew Seaford ★★★★★

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Porlock Vale Campsite. If you're looking for a truly quiet and peaceful countryside location, this is the perfect spot. We felt so relaxed here. The site owner, Dawn, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which really added to our lovely experience. We would definitely recommend approaching the campsite via Luccombe village and then heading towards Huntscott. The lane from Blackford is very narrow, and the route through Luccombe is much more manageable.

Rhiannon Rosenberg ★★★★★

Absolutely gorgeous views to wake up to! Dawn is a fantastic host thinking of all the little things. Facilities are fab with a proper toilet and shower. Dog friendly (and Mia and Rosie the herding dogs are wonderful too!). So tranquil and peaceful. As close to wild camping as you can get but with some creature comforts. Thank you Dawn for an excellent stay.
