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.

Powered grass tent or motorhome site (large)

Liked: Very very clean site and toilet/shower facilities. heated swimming pool ,clubhouse,arcade,several parks(all free of charge with booking) lovely restaurant and takeaway at reasonable prices with very friendly and helpful staff

Disliked: Tentpitch was very windy wich resulted in a few people not actually pitching up.

In the campsites defense though it is a new area and they have started planting hedgerows to break the wind that is causing the minor setback we did witness but wasn't affected by ourselves

Disliked: Very open pitches, extremely windy! Gusts of 36 miles per hr this weekend.

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback, we're glad you enjoyed the facilities :-) It was a very windy weekend - unfortunately we couldn't help that. However, we have planted hedgerows around the camping field and once they are established, they should act as a windbreak.

Excellent site - couldn’t fault it!

Liked: Everything with this site was spot on! Facilities were fantastic, spotlessly clean, great size pitches, entertainment for all ages, food/drinks were very reasonably priced and delicious, small arcade and lovely sized indoor swimming pool which was great for our little one and staff were fantastic and super friendly! Christine on reception went above and beyond and was ever so friendly and Lee was a fantastic all rounder so friendly and absolutely hilarious during the evening entertainment! A big shout out to the guy at the arcade we had a little incident Friday night were our little girl somehow got her arm stuck but he was so calm and collective and quickly managed to help with the situation so thank you! Will definitely be coming to stay again, the whole experience had a big thumbs up from us!

Liked: All staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. I had an issue on arrival and it was sorted within 5 minutes which was fantastic. Swimming pool was clean and adequate. Pitch sizes were good. Bar prices were reasonable. Entertainment was great, my daughter loved it. Plenty to play in the arcade and very generous shop assistants gave my daughter a few extra prizes for her tickets! Shower facilities were very clean and well maintained. Will absolutely be back!

Lewis H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass tent or motorhome site (large)

Liked: Club house was clean and tidy as was the pool. Play areas were well equipped. Site was kept well and toilets were very clean. Lovely location overlooking the river!

Disliked: Curfew of 10pm however club house music was on till 1am with drunk campers coming back to the tent and disrupting our sleep. No warden came to check and the arguments and drunk crying went on past 2am not great when you’ve got young children! Feel like the camping area could be staggered with a mix of campers and tents so you’ve not directing next to another tent. Play areas were well equipped however the material used for the floor totally ruined my daughters new trainers leaving all black marks. I feel as though the clubhouse is too small for the volume of people staying and the parking situation outside isn’t great, too squashed in.

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback. We're happy that you enjoyed the facilities and location. I notice that you booked a large pitch (9mx17m) and we don't put restrictions on how you lay out your tent or equipment, so we're a bit confused ref your comments about tents being next to each other . . . if you'd like to get in touch with more detail, we'd appreciate it :-)

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.
