Porlock Vale Campsite

Positiv We have been to Porlock Vale three times now. Twice this year.. last time at end of September.
This is such a lovely site. Peaceful, calm, scenic and run by a lovely person.
Dawn is very friendly and helpful and we love Rosie who always seems to be waiting to greet us.
The site is well run with clean toilets and hot showers. A big washing up area with two sinks and lots of information about surrounding areas. Although there is no electricity on site, Dawn has lots of solar lights… in the barn/washing up area, showers and toilets.
We love the wild grass areas in the field which encourage lots of insects and birds and has been great to watch the changing colours.
Lots of walking from the site or just sitting in peace and quiet.
This is a special site so please treat it with the respect it deserves and enjoy 😊

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you Michael - so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you again.

Positiv What an incredible find this was! We loved our stay at Porlock Vale campsite. The setting and views were absolutely stunning and there are a variety of accessible walks in all directions, from fields and lanes to forests and moorland. This campsite is a really peaceful haven with lots of space to pitch.

The herd of Exmoor ponies were lovely to watch on the hills and it was great to learn more about the Exmoor Pony Project through Dawn, who together with her dogs Rosie and Mia, was so very welcoming and helpful.

The campsite is very natural but still has good facilities. There is a real effort to support the natural world.

All in all highly recommended and we will definitely come back here.

(Small note to bring chocks for your campervan if you want to take advantage of the best views at the top of the field as there is a little slope.)

Positiv Absolutely loved this site! Fantastic views, and walks from the site, very well kept. Perfect for reaching Exmoor by foot. Couldn't have wished for better. Dawn was so friendly and informative, We chatted a lot. A true horse lover and what an amazing herd of Exmoor ponies she has. A credit to her. She has put her heart into this farm. And it shows.
Thank you Dawn, for making our stay so warm and friendly. We will be back without doubt. And thank you for signing my books!
Best wishes,
Janice and Scott.

Vom Platzbetreiber: What a lovely review Janice, thank you so much. It was a real pleasure to meet you both and look forward to seeing you again.

Positiv We stayed at Porlock Vale for three nights in September, and had a lovely time. The campsite was so peaceful and picturesque, with views of the sea and the Exmoor ponies, and sights and sounds of the local birds. The campsite had all the amenities we needed for our stay, including a fire pit to rent. On our arrival we were greeted by Rosie, Dawn’s dog on the first day who was a delight. Dawn was an excellent host, brilliant communication before and whilst we were there. We were lucky to hear all about her work with her ponies, which made the stay even more special. We will definitely be back again.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your lovely review Stephanie - and it's the 100th! It was really good to meet you both and look forward to seeing you again.

Positiv We absolutely loved our stay - me, my partner and our dog. So much room, beautiful views and a field next door for Reggie to run in. Washing up facilities and loos were kept spotless, and Dawn delivered a fire pit and wood as soon as we asked. It was a proper break from "real life" - would absolutely recommend.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you Kate, this is really appreciated. It was lovely to meet you both - and Reggie too!

Positiv Peaceful, beautiful setting. Great access to loads of footpaths from the campsite for good walking. Short drive to coastal path walks.

Negativ There isn't a lot of flat ground at the site, but the gentle slope is fine for a tent and can be overcome with the use of chocks on a van.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks for your lovely review and glad you enjoyed the beautiful local walking. There are plenty of flat spots to pitch around the field - and just 15 pitches in 9 acres so plenty of choice too. Hope to see you both again.

Positiv Really lovely quiet camp site in Porlock Vale. Liked the off grid nature of the amenities, showers warm.
Host Dawn very welcoming and knowledgeable about most things local and beyond. Will definitely return 👍🏻
