  • Family-run Somerset campsite near Bridgwater, with easy M5 access
  • A 15-minute drive to the Quantock Hills, and 20 to Burnham-on-Sea
  • Modern showers, communal kitchen and dog run; pubs 10 minutes’ drive
Looking for a quiet, family-orientated caravan park with generous-sized pitches in Somerset? Your search is over, for Newton Brook Caravan and Camping near Bridgwater is that place. It’s a friendly spot to overnight (it’s a short drive from Junction 24 of the M5 motorway) if you’re heading to Cornwall, or for longer stays if you’d like to make further forays into Somerset. Facilities to make life easy for families on site are tiptop, with a spotless, contemporary shower and loo block, plus a communal kitchen with fridges, microwave and washing-up sinks to make rustling up supper a breeze. North Petherton village (10 minutes’ drive) is the spot for picking up essentials in the convenience store (and it has a sprinkling of pubs and cafés if cooking is off limits on your holiday). As well as welcoming kids – there’s green space on site to play around safely and a smartly kitted-out games room to keep everybody occupied – the park is dog-centric too. Any canine with a zoomie attack can run around in the enclosed field, and there are walks aplenty along the Taunton Bridgwater Canal to tire everybody out (dog included). The park is located right next to a family farm, so you can often spot cattle and sheep grazing contentedly in surrounding fields, with the chance to see gambolling lambs in early spring and calves a bit later in the year.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its immaculate, modern facilities, including exceptionally clean toilet and shower blocks with thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and sweets. Staff are consistently described as incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, going above and beyond for guests. Pitches are spacious and well-maintained. A secure dog exercise area is a popular bonus. Located conveniently near the M5, it's ideal for stopovers, yet many guests find it peaceful with minimal motorway noise. The site offers a relaxed atmosphere with flexible departure times. A games room and well-equipped washing-up area with fridges and microwaves are also highlighted. Some minor points mentioned include potential for the showers to be very hot and the site being primarily caravans.

Liked Lovely site in a lovely village just off motorway. The Owners are probably the most welcoming and friendly people we've come across, they couldn't do more for you.The site has great sized pitches,laundry room, washing up room( with freezer,microwave available) and a quirky little games room,the shower and toilet area is wondeful, incredibly clean, with fresh flowers and sweets .. all air conditioned !
An added bonus on site within a field is an enclosed dog run which is perfect letting your dogs run off leads.
People have said they can hear the motorway.... honestly, you couldn't really hear it, very slight humming in the background ,which never bother us at all.
A short walk into the local village North Newton is a lovely little gem pub called 'harvest Moon' which serves the best carvery on Sundays and other delicious food all week. From there you can take a lovely stroll along the canal.

Liked Everything - cute jars of sweets in the immaculately clean toilets and fresh flowers, the fab games room, plenty of space at the pitches. Friendly, helpful staff, laundry room and well equipped washing up room with microwaves, fridges etc and I know this sounds weird but fairy washing up liquid and tea towels. An enclosed, secure dog excercise area. The small touches make the campsite extra special.

Liked Nearly everything! The staff are lovely and welcoming.

We arrived early Friday morning for a 3 night stay and the staff showed us to our pitch and had a chat with us.

Toilets are the best I have seen at any campsite and are kept very clean and warm.

We had 5 kids with us and they all absolutely loved the game room; they spent many hours in there playing with all the games.

For a bank holiday weekend it was very quiet which was great. Choice of 2 beaches within a 30 minute drive also which is a bonus.

We also purchased 12 farm fresh eggs on site and they were very tasty.

Disliked The only thing I found was that the showers are hot and you cannot control the temperature (would rather have that, than freezing cold one like most other campsites).

I had to use a bucket to wash my 2 year old as the water was too hot for him.

Local attractions

If you’re planning on sticking around in Somerset for a while, you’re in pole position here for days out exploring by car. Head to north-coast beaches like Berrow (half an hour’s drive) and Burnham-on-Sea (20 minutes) for some family fun splashing in the shallows, or turn south and treat the kids to a day out on the rollercoasters and 4D rides at Crealy Theme Park and Resort (50 minutes). Rather explore on foot? There's plenty of choice for walkers around here, with the gorgeous Quantock Hills (15 minutes) or Blackdown Hills Areas of Outstanding Nature Beauty (40 minutes) riddled with hiking trails. Travel a little further and you can discover the walking routes of wild Exmoor, as well as historic spots like Tarr Steps clapper bridge (an hour) and the pretty town of Dulverton (50 minutes). Other places you might like to consider exploring are Wells (45 minutes), with its spectacular cathedral and castle, or funky little Glastonbury (40 minutes), awash with hippy shops and cute little cafés.
