  • 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.

What customers say

This is a peaceful and welcoming campsite with a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors frequently praise the friendly and helpful owners, clean facilities (particularly the hot showers), and spacious, level pitches. It's highly regarded as family and dog-friendly, with a dedicated dog area. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention that the showers can be too hot, some facilities could benefit from updating, and there can be occasional noise from a nearby road.

Liked The peaceful quiet atmosphere on the site.
The friendly host who were approachable, eager to help and friendly. Offering advice on amenities activities and food.
The great location close to tourist sites, exmoor herds and beautiful viewpoints. Convenient location to main road to coast.
Clean bathroom and washing facilities stocked with necessary cleaning items (bowls and wash racks, washing liquid and cloths).

Disliked No designated area for children but wasn't made to feel unwelcome that the children played football on open spaces. There was a friendly compromise

Disliked showers were clean but push showers lasting 30secs at a time would prefer it to last longer if I'm picky. The male showers had less facilities than females and nowhere to put up our things within the cubicle there was just a hook on back of door which means to keep your stuff fry it had to be left outside cubicle.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback and review. Unfortunately the timers on the showers are pre-set so cannot amend. All the shower cubicles have hooks and hanging storage for all your bits and bobs. There are also stools in the cubicles and shower curtains so clothing and shoes should be kept dry.

Aside from this we are glad you had a nice time at Zeacombe and hopefully see you again

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.
