Zeacombe House Caravan Park

Last booked 2 days ago 9.5 103 reviews

Warm and welcoming family-run site near Exmoor National Park
Hiking, climbing, canoeing, angling and stargazing within easy reach
Remote park with plenty of green space and spectacular Exmoor views

If you plan on venturing to Devon for spectacular walks, historic hotspots and outdoorsy pursuits – and perhaps for wide open space, remoteness, a friendly vibe and meticulously manicured grounds to boot – make Zeacombe House Caravan Park your next Devon base. Just south of the spectacular landscapes of Exmoor National Park, Zeacombe has pitches on a lushly landscaped park lined with pristine lawns and dotted with mature trees, shrubs and rockeries, bordered partly by ancient beech hedging. Bring four-legged pals along to enjoy it too: this is a pooch-friendly place that allows dogs around the grounds as long as their humans keep them on their leads and clean up any doings. There's also a dedicated dog walking area where they can romp about off lead (please do keep gates shut and check your hound isn't going to find any ways to plot an escape). Zeacombe is a 12-minute drive from Dulverton, hailed as the southern gateway to Exmoor. You can pick up supplies (and gifts, and souvenirs) here, or bag them from the little shop on site selling essential groceries and camping bits; barbecues are allowed on your spacious pitch. The amenities on site are kept to spotless standards and include roomy shower rooms with lashings of hot water, a laundry room, a washing-up area and plenty of spots for bins and recycling.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Stayed at Zeacombe for 4 nights. We liked that you could choose your own pitch and it's a very laid back atmosphere. Check out is whenever you like on the day. There is a small shop on site that sells essentials. The facilities are clean but the showers are way too hot, especially for little ones, I think thermostat needs to be adjusted a bit.
I really enjoyed the pizza truck that came on Sunday. It was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I also really liked that you can have BBQs and campfires there. They also sell bags of logs and rent out fire pits if you need. The road next to he campsite is not noisy at all so that was not an issue. Lovely rural feel to the campsite.

Disliked: Showers are too hot and one of showers didn't stop for well over 15/20 mins which steamed up the whole block, think more ventilation or door needs to be able to be propped open. Some signage on the water outlets at the toilet block would be great as it doesn't indicate if it's drinking water or not. The taps dotted around inside the campsites are signed though.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: As soon as we pulled up we were asked if we wanted a cuppa and after being stuck on the M5 for 5 hours it was greatly appreciated. The choice of pitching where we wanted to was a great start. The bathrooms were spotless and the showers were nice and hot. The shop on site is an added bonus and it's well stocked even with logs for the fire. It's a great little campsite the owners are great, we couldn't fault it. We will be adding this one to the list to come again

Disliked: Absolutely nothing

Liked: Very clean campsite, our first in the caravan, lovely and quiet, toilet block was very clean and had multiple showers. There is a road nearby, but there is hardly any cars passing especially at night.

Disliked: Showers were scolding and didnt have a temperature dial.

Liked: "Our first trip in our new camper van was fantastic thanks to the helpful staff at the campsite. The toilet and shower block was clean and well-maintained, and there was a washing facility with a washing machine. Everything was easy to locate, and there was a variety of pitches with electric hookups. We really enjoyed our stay."

Local attractions

Zeacombe’s local town of Dulverton is a handsome settlement between the Barle and Exe rivers, with central streets lined with boutique and gift shops, tearooms and various other watering holes and eateries. While you’re over that way, the Dulverton Circular Walk spans three and a half miles of an upstream route alongside part of the Barle valley from the town, taking trampers over Marsh Bridge and gently ascending along an ancient byway before returning back down along another byway back into Dulverton. Plenty more highly scenic hiking trails network the rest of Exmoor National Park’s thousands of acres of moorland, forested valleys and high coastal heathland. Ancient Dunster Castle a 40-minute drive away also comes with subtropical gardens home to four different microclimates, as well as a restored 18th-century working watermill among a peaceful river garden. To arrive in style, take the vintage steam locomotive carriage on the West Somerset Railway from Bishops Lydeard, 45 minutes’ drive from base, via some cracking coastal views along the way. Elsewhere, the famed north Devon surf spots of Saunton Sands, Croyde and Woolacombe are all within an hour’s drive.
