What customers say
A peaceful, adult-only campsite set behind a friendly pub. Pitches are spacious and often level, with good facilities though some require updating. The pub serves excellent, reasonably priced food with generous portions, and is a popular bonus. Ideal for exploring Exmoor, the site offers great value and a relaxed atmosphere, with many visitors expressing a desire to return.

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Site itself was nice and loo blocks clean. Only one washing up sink though.
Disliked We picked this site due to it being a pub campsite and tried to book a pub table in advance but were told we could just rock up and would definitely be able to eat.
When we arrived on the Saturday evening at 6.15, we were told they were no longer taking bookings because it was so busy, being a Bank Holiday weekend. They told others there was a 2-2.5hr wait. Then, after a bit, we were told we could just order cold starters and desserts which is what we opted to do. I am a diabetic and this general lack of mains did not make my life very easy but I have to eat and inject.
As an aside, the information on Pitchup is misleading because in some places it says barbecues are allowed, in others they're not. They're not - which was frustrating as we actually had back-up BBQ food on board but couldn't cook it as an alternative!
All they need to do is a) update Pitchup. b) either introduce a pub bookings system, or train staff to manage expectations around actually getting food on the phone, if they insist on not having such a system.
A disappointing stay (and response from the site about our complaint). Be warned... they will not necessarily feed you properly if they're busy (even if it is early) and you may therefore miss out on the 'pub camping' experience.

Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked Staff were friendly, both in the pub and the guy that showed us to our pitch and explained the set up.
Pitches were nice and flat and the site wasn’t too big and was lovely and quiet.
The showers were nice and hot, you just had to keep pressing the button before the water stopped.
The pub was a bonus, especially when the weather really got too hot, it was lovely and cool inside. The Sunday carvery looked lovely but we had already sorted our dinner.
Disliked Could have done with more than one washing up point.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely site. Was shown the field and asked where I'd prefer to be. Big enough so that I could get a quiet area. Good facilities. Pub is really nice and has nice food too.
Price is about what camping should be. Well done Raleghs Cross.

Great cheap campsite. Spacious fields and behind excellent pub.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked 3 big fields to choose from. 2 with electrical hook up. £12 per night.
Great toilets at the back of the pub. With showers with slate floor and very hot water. Great food in the pub. (They serve breakfast to campers too).
Disliked No hard core pitches available.
Out in the country. So you need transport to go anywhere else.
