What customers say
This small, peaceful orchard campsite is praised for its excellent location near coastal paths and amenities. Guests love the spacious, well-maintained sites and clean, eco-friendly facilities, especially the hot showers and compost toilets. Friendly, helpful owners are often mentioned. Some found it basic, and a few noted traffic noise or the mandatory Greener Camping Club fee. Overall, a highly recommended, relaxing getaway.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Overall a great little place to visit when the weather is onside!
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Self check in was great.
Laid back, unfussy site.
Quiet location.
Plenty of hot water in the rustic showers.
Compost toilets. Despite initial uncertainty were effective.
Location - proximity to M5 yet tucked away.
Coast path was a 10 min walk.
Lovely orchard
Disliked Could do with a clean up.
Rustic is no excuse for grubby. (Showers, wash up area)
No hot water in toilet hand wash area is inexcusable.
Recommend to friends Visit again
Loved it, would enthusiastically recommend and visit again myself.
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Lovely location very close to Clevedon and the Marine Lake.
Gorgeous surroundings.
Communal fire pit is a lovely touch and the shower facilities are really great, lovely warm shower.
Very easy to book and the 'self-serve' style of pitch allocation is great!
Disliked My only grumble was, as it was a small camp site, there was a large group present when we were there and they somewhat "took over" the site with kids screaming and running around, loud shouting from adults etc. Definitely destroyed the tranquil setting and made the rest of the campers feel uncomfortable.
The pitch signage/demise of pitch could be clearer.

Lovely big space (plot 3) for our family.
Disliked Very quiet. Our two young boys are well behaved but love being loud and I felt bad on other campers.
Small with little privacy.
Next to a busy road, under aeroplane route
Some thistles under foot, have to keep shoes on all the time.
1000 flies immediately in the tent, tempted maybe by the apples fallen from the trees.
