Riverside camping pitches

  • Family campsite 10 minutes’ drive from Weston-super-Mare in Somerset
  • Burnham-on-Sea 15 minutes’s drive; Cheddar Gorge and Caves 25 minutes
  • Indoor pool, playground and fishing lake; clubhouse and licensed bar
Thinking of Somerset and need a base with lots of activities for all the family? You’ll never have a dull moment at Riverside Holiday Village, languishing by the River Axe in the Mendip Hills, because there’s just masses to do when you get there. Younger visitors can have hours of fun at the adventure playground, there’s a games arcade for older kids and a heated indoor swimming pool – so there’s always something for your offspring to be getting up to, even on rainy days. And while the kids are safely taken care of elsewhere, you adults can have your fair share of the fun too, with games of pool in the sports bar and regular themed entertainment (think ‘oompah’ bands, bratwurst and bingo) in the fully licensed Kingfisher Clubhouse. Spread out in the beer garden on warmer days, and maybe have a go at fishing (seasonal only) on lakes well stocked with game fish (please buy a pass from reception). If you fancy a walk, paths lead directly from the pitches to strolls alongside the river. When a day at the seaside beckons, Weston-super-Mare (10 minutes’ drive) answers the call with a huge sandy beach and lots of family activities like golf, Funland Theme Park and amusement arcades on the pier to keep everyone busy. Forgotten anything vital? There’s a well-stocked convenience store at reception.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked The tent pitches were lovely and big, with electricity hookup. The food in the on-site restaurant was delicious, and beautifully presented. The pool was adequately sized, warm and not overcrowded. The staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble. There was a great atmosphere about the site. The whole place was clean, well run and well looked after. We would definitely stay there again.

Disliked You pay separately for unreliable wifi.
Only 2 ladies cubicles in the joint shower/toilet block adjacent to the tent pitch field.

Ryan A. 1 review

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Great venue, easy location, huge pitches for motorhome/tent, amazing children's parks, beautiful scenery, well kept grounds, big club house with quality food and good sized portions, lots of entertainment, clean shower and toilet blocks.

Disliked Only 1 bar with EE mobile, and the pay for wi-fi also only gave 1 bar to our pitch area.
Owners were great with the feedback though and would investigate.
Fresh water taps could do with being either end of the pitches as well as in the centre.
Shower Tokens, I completely understand but I much prefer a no token scheme. Personal preference.

Local attractions

As well as Weston-super-Mare (10 minutes’ drive), there are other beachy options for family days out, including Burnham-on-Sea (15 minutes) with its vast stretches of sand backed by lots of shops and cafés. If you’d rather contemplate the sea from the comfort of a train, board the West Somerset Railway at Bishops Lydeard (45 minutes) for a jaunt through the Quantock Hills and along the coastline. Grab your walking boots and turn inland for days yomping in those very same Quantock Hills (40 minutes’ drive), or take on some of the challenging rock-climbing routes around the steep cliffs at Cheddar Gorge and Caves (25 minutes). Go deep underground on a caving expedition, and if that’s too hard core, take the kids to see the spectacular subterranean stalactites at Wokey Hole (35 minutes). If you feel the urge for a bit of culture, make for the historic (and tiny) city of Wells (40 minutes), where you can tour the flamboyant Gothic-style cathedral and moated Bishop’s Palace. Have another urban day out in Bristol (50 minutes), which draws people in for its zoo, the sleek Concorde at Aerospace Bristol and lively pub scene around the harbour.
