  • Peaceful site at the foot of the Quantock Hills
  • Three fishing lakes on site
  • A base for Cheddar, Glastonbury and the Exmoor and Somerset coast
Solo sorts, families, couples and most of all anglers… come and get sorted at serene and scenic Burton Springs, for a super stay in a Somerset wildlife haven. This peaceful place is at the foot of the Quantock Hills and a nifty base for getting out around the Quantocks, the west Somerset and Exmoor coastline, and smashing Somerset settings like Cheddar Gorge and Glastonbury Abbey, both under 20 miles away. And if your group are fisherfolk? Cast off on site in the three handsome and well-stocked lakes: there's one each of coarse fishing, carp fishing and cat fishing to keep all angling enthusiasts hooked. Please note that fishing is subject to additional charges and must be booked in advance. (Non-fisherfolk have plenty of wildlife to see, walks to wander and quiet spots in which to hide with a book or three.) Burton Springs is well kept all round by its friendly family team, who've added a spankingly clean shower and washroom as well as a washing-up area for guests' use. There's also a games room for all ages, with table football and a dartboard, a selection of board games, DVDs and reading material, and a small play area in the pitching field with a pirate ship, climbing walls, slides and a basket swing. Food and drinks are available to buy in the site shop.

What customers say

This is a well-maintained, friendly site with spacious, flat pitches and excellent, clean toilet and shower facilities. Guests praised the on-site honesty shop, games room, and dog play area. Fishing is a highlight for many, with fish reported to be in good condition. The location is quiet and peaceful, with nearby walking routes and coastal attractions. Some minor issues were noted, including slow fresh water taps and limited shop stock, though these did not detract significantly from the overall positive experience.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely site run by lovely people.
Nice big pitches with plenty of space between other campers.
The fishing was excellent. My 7yo son caught so many good size carp he was so excited.
There’s an honesty shop on site stocked with essentials snacked and locally produced ready meals. Also some fishing tackle and bait.

If you want booze or bigger items there’s a spar about a mile away.

Definitely going back this summer for another few nights

Large electric included tent or campervan pitch electric grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked Pretty grounds and lakes surrounding the areas

Disliked smell around toilet area was quiet strong of faeces and ground area was significantly hard, appeared to be due a water? was hard to get our pegs in. Also- in very close proximity to other campers with very little privacy.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Yes all the grounds do need a water, but we cant just use a hose, as we are 12achres , we need rain, which there has been none of for weeks and also we’ve had 3 extreme heat waves.
Also we are not on mains sewage and on our own water supply, which includes water treatment plants, which stop working if people don’t read the signs and put wet wipes, nappies and sanitary products done them.
We work very hard to try and keep everything working as it should but nature and people don’t make it easy

Super site for a short break & great ice cream in small on site shop.

Local attractions

Burton Springs' closest chunk of coast is at Burnham-On-Sea about seven and a half miles away. Seaside resort Weston-super-Mare is a few miles further along the coast from Burnham; for the Exmoor coastline, stretches of shoreline and sand like Kilve, Dunster, Minehead and Porlock are a short drive in the other direction. The South West Coast Path, Britain's longest long-distance path, starts from Minehead on its epic 630 miles via the coasts of Devon and Cornwall to finish up at Poole Harbour in Dorset. If this is a tad too much, other hikes around the region include the Quantock Hills, England's first National Landscape; Brean Down, a Site of Special Scientific Interest managed by the National Trust, and the Mendip Hills, also a National Landscape and home to splendidly spectacular Cheddar Gorge. The Burton team also reckons guests should take a look at the small wildlife and adventure park Tropiquaria, the National Trust's Dunster Castle and Fyne Court, the Bakelite Museum at Wilton, the RSPB reserve at Greylake, and the rides and attractions of Brean Leisure Park. Paintballing is available at Cannington Park, nearby at Bridgwater.
