  • Small, quiet adults-only site on the edge of Exmoor National Park
  • Dog-friendly; half an hour's walk from Wimbleball Lake and Haddon Hill
  • Small shop on site selling essentials; dog-friendly pub next door
Remote, rural, peaceful and just lovely are the boxes you'll tick at Lowtrow Cross Caravan and Camping Park, a small and friendly place close to Wimbleball Lake on the Somerset and Devon borders and on the edge of the spectacular Exmoor National Park. Set over four acres in an area of spectacular scenery, Lowtrow Cross Caravan and Camping Park is an adults-only site set up for guests to have restful and serene stays in a remote setting with easy access to many West Country attractions. Miles of uncrowded walking and cycling trails are easy to access from here, along with fishing, sailing, canoeing and horse riding. If you aim to take things a mite easier while on your peaceful break, Lowtrow Cross Caravan and Camping Park is also in a wildlife and birdwatching haven with an enclosed dog-walking area. The site is great for unwinding and watching the sunset over the moor scenery, and there's also more sky gazing when the sun goes down, as this part of Somerset is prime stargazing territory. (Nearby Exmoor was the first designated International Dark Sky Reserve in Europe too.) Friendly wardens Rob and Karen live on site and are rightly proud of their surroundings: they'll usually be out and about keeping the grounds and facilities tiptop, so give them a shout if you need any help or advice. There's a small shop on site selling essentials and local produce on site. A dog-friendly pub is also next door, just one minutes' walk away.

This adult-only site is consistently praised for its immaculate cleanliness, peaceful atmosphere, and beautiful surroundings.

The well-maintained facilities, including spotless shower and toilet blocks, are a recurring positive point. An adjacent pub is also a popular amenity.

Electric optional grass tent pitch (sloping)

Liked Lovely camp site. So peaceful & relaxing. Toilets, shower, laundry room were always clean and tidy including the grounds. We had a brilliant time, and some well earned rest. Rob & Kaz were very welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. They put us in a nice little spot. We loved it so much we have booked for next year. Thank you Rob & Kaz we will see you in June for birthday celebrations. We'll worth a visit & would recommend to friends & family. ⛺️🥰❤️😘

Disliked The weather! It was a bit windy. But hay is England you can't control the weather.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Very helpful wardens, couldn’t do enough for us, the site was spotless and well kept, lovely part of the country

Disliked Nearest public house closed, due to owners on vacation, nearest one to site at least 5 miles away, not many cross country walks from the site, I think you definitely need a car to reach anywhere

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your very kind comments.

With regard to the local pub, as separate businesses we have no connection in the running and opening/closing of the pub.
Can I suggest you review the pub direct to express your disappointment.

Great place to stay

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked A very beautiful and extremely well kept site by Rob and Caz who were so friendly and welcoming, and couldn’t do enough to help.

Disliked Although the location was really lovely with beautiful views, it was at least 25 mins or so in a car to visit other places. Whilst this isn’t a bad thing for us we felt it was a little too remote.
