  • 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.

Kerry S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

A - fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Rob & Kaz, Simon & Angela were perfect wardens, friendly and kind and extremely helpful.
Lowtrow coss is adult only, peace and quiet is guaranteed with excellent facilities which are spotlessly clean and the safe dog area is lovely for the dogs to play.
The shop has the basics for your needs and the location for exploring the countryside is good..
The welcome from the staff was amazing and they even helped to pitch our caravan and ensured that were were settled before they left to continue their duties.
The site has lovely well kept lawns and flowerbeds and lots if inforcan be found in the shop.
The WiFi was good and excellent tv reception ( take a long lead )
Would we come here and recommend it to others, Definitely

Martin R. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

A - fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Everything. Stunning site. All of the wardens were very friendly and helpful but also respected your privacy. The site was immaculate and very well kept. Excellent pitch size and even provided levelling blocks if needed. Facilities spotless and even had a few little extras for the ladies. Dog walk was excellent. Out look from site very pleasant and was generally very peaceful and site felt very safe would have been happy to be there as a lone female. Excellent free, fast Wi-Fi.

Disliked Shame the pub was only open at weekends due to change in ownership. Did have an excellent Sunday lunch there !
