  • 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

Burton Springs is a well-maintained, clean, and friendly campsite with a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors praise the excellent facilities, including spotless individual shower and toilet cubicles, a well-stocked honesty shop, and a popular games room. The secure dog play area and picturesque fishing lakes are also highlighted as significant advantages. While the remote rural location is generally appreciated for its peace and quiet, some find the Wi-Fi and phone signal limited. Occasional comments mention noise from nearby events or inconsiderate campers, and a few note the proximity to Hinkley Point Power Station.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked Absolute bliss at Burton Springs! Tucked away off the beaten track, super clean, tidy, and so peaceful. The secure dog park was fantastic for my four-legged friend to run around safely, and the site was exactly what we needed to completely unwind. 10/10 recommendation for a quiet getaway! 🏕️🐾✨

Disliked There wasn't anything we disliked!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Always love staying at Burton Springs! Small sized, friendly campsite with super facilities. Love the proximity to Kilve Beach where if you venture along the coastal path to the left, you find so many fossils! Love the clean toilets, communal fridge, useful little shop and games room for the kids. Easy access to some lovely locations- Wimbleball Lake, minehead beach front, Horner Woods and Watchet Harbour. Play area for the children is so useful. We will be back :)

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.
