Porlock Vale Campsite

Líbí se Love this site so so much I keep coming back, the facilities are just what you need, clean and well maintained, loads of space even when fully booked, this place is very healing for the soul. As a solo female camper I feel totally safe. Dawn, the host, comes by to check on everyone a couple of times a day and is always at the end of a message if anything needs addressing. I cannot fault a single thing. The most beautiful setting, nothing but wildlife, stunning views and calm. I could spend every camping trip here. Dawn has got things spot on and I'm so grateful to have found this spot in paradise. Can't wait to return.

Od správce: Hi David, thanks for your review. A couple of things. This is an off grid campsite, so no Wi-Fi. However, PitchUp only offer campsite owners a tick box for Wi-Fi and no option to indicate if campers can access the internet through 4G or 5G. Most of our campers are delighted to be able to get online from the field - and reception depends on the network they are on.
This is promoted as a peaceful campsite to come and chill, relax and enjoy nature, wildlife and endless walking and cycling in our spectacularly beautiful area of Exmoor. It's not advertised as having an activities programme on site. The off-grid facilities are comfortable (warm showers and washing up, flushing loos with cloakroom areas, etc) and are specifically designed to have low environmental impact, in line with our Greener Camping ethos and certification, and the land regeneration scheme here on the farm.

Líbí se Amazing, beautiful, peaceful setting with space and stunning views. Friendly dogs, and owner!

Nelíbí se Details, but solar lights in facilities were unreliable and no windows so weeing/showering in gloom happened.

Od správce: Hi Sam, thank you so much for the lovely review. As you know, I always send a welcome text so you have my contact details and you also see me on site. So, if you're having any issues, like you mention the solar light - just tell me so we can fix it. This is the first I've heard of it and they're checked every day - so I'd much prefer a text or mention, than read it on here, if possible. Thank you anyway and so glad you enjoyed your stay.

Líbí se Location, views, very quiet, lots of space, very clean. Dawn was super nice. We ll come back

Líbí se Absolutely loved this little gem. Amazing view, beautiful walks. Dawn was so welcoming. Basic facilities but perfectly adequate. Might get a bit busy if all 15 pitches were needing them. There are two loos, one women's, one men's and an extra compost loo and two showers. Such a peaceful spot. We'll be back.

Od správce: Thank you for a great review, Emma. Our quest is to provide a beautiful campsite, where campers can enjoy peaceful, spacious pitches with stunning scenery all around - and have minimal environmental impact. The comfortable and well-tended off-grid facilities are designed with this in mind - and provide a warm water washing up area, two warm showers, two flushing loos and a compost loo. The small number of pitches (just 15 in a 9 acre field) ensure that everyone can enjoy space, quiet and comfort, while we continue to evolve species rich grassland and respect nature. Looking forward to welcoming you back.

Líbí se The setting is absolutely perfect. Basic facilities, clean and just what’s needed.
The owner Dawn is just lovely, friendly and helpful, so knowledgeable about the area. Peace and quiet, just heaven.

Od správce: Thank you Maria and so glad you enjoyed your stay and exploring our beautiful area.

Líbí se Stunning views, easy to find a pitch, quiet and beautiful. Just a lovely spot. Clean toilets and kitchen block. The part of the field with the best views was sloped but it was pretty much fine!

Nelíbí se The fire pit situation, sadly. We found the wood and slab for the fire pit but couldn’t find the actual pit. Tried to message Dawn but had no signal for a mile or so around the site (only got signal back when on the a39).

A fellow camper kindly messaged Dawn for us but I think it was too late in the evening (maybe after 20:30) so no luck. Watched with envy as other campers sat round their fires cooking and enjoying the stars

Od správce: Thank you for your great review. I think I spoke to you about fires earlier in the evening, when it was windy and explained that the ground is like a tinderbox and we're not encouraging firepits at the moment. Thank you so much for not lighting a fire. We ask campers to buy logs on site and if other campers were burning their own logs last night - hmm, tut, tut! Thank you for letting me know about that too. We appreciate you being responsible when there is such a fire risk.
