  • 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.

Liked Site was very clean and staff were very friendly. Good selection of food and drinks available and plenty to keep the kids busy! There were a group of family behind us who were particularly noisy, we complained to reception and they came down and sorted it right away. Not too far off the motorway or a handful of beaches.

Disliked We went as 3 families. We asked to be pitched together but there was a gap between one of the 3 tents with a different family. We asked if there was anything else available together and we were advised not, despite there being 3 unoccupied pitches all weekend next to each other.

Liked Everything about this place. The staff. The cleanliness. The layout and amenities are amazing and definitely turned into our fave camp site. Only 10 mins away from Weston which is a bonus too. Can’t fault it. And the pool is a bonus! (Slots are very useful - just book via the app and show reception your ticket. All free!) Will definitely be back :)

Disliked Umm. The wind! Can’t fault the place!

Liked Just got back from this amazing site for my friend’s birthday weekend.
All the staff are so friendly, would definitely recommend this and will definitely be back soon hopefully.
Food was also lovely.
Shower blocks are so clean (I work in hospitality and cleanliness is a big thing for me wherever I stay) so to have a shower and toilet block that’s so clean is amazing thank you.
Had a great weekend Shame it came to an end so quickly.
Thank you to everyone again at Riverside holiday village you are all amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Disliked Nothing.
While weekend was great.

Liked Good parks, nice layout of camping ground with very flat pitches.
Good facilities.
Food and drink was good value.

Disliked Not enough toilets or showers. Showers had flooded as blocked with hair and can't turn them off due to tokens.
Paying for a shower on an already overpriced site and not being told tokens needed to be purchased, so have to walk over to reception before having a shower!
Dog poo all over the field.
We asked to camp near friends, although there was loads of space we weren't allowed to move.
Very overpriced!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We're pleased to see that you would visit again!

To answer some of your dislikes; in addition to the utilities block at the back of the camping pitches, there is a second shower block in the main building. Payment for shower tokens is stated in our Pitchup listing and by our reception team during check-in, and there are numerous dog-waste bins located around the park.

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.
