  • Small, dog-friendly site less than half a mile from the Severn Estuary
  • Clevedon five minutes’ drive; Weston-super-Mare 45 minutes
  • Beach, pier, shops and restaurants within walking distance
Dowlais Farm Holidays is just the place for a peaceful retreat in the company of your loyal canine buddy. Small and quiet, the site sits just outside the seaside town of Clevedon, less than half a mile from the Clevedon Coastal Path (about 15 minutes’ walk), which skirts the Severn Estuary. There’s plenty of water-y scenery around here, not to mention excellent hiking or cycling trails along the North Somerset coast. The spacious pitches are in the orchard of an old dairy farm that has been repurposed into an eco-friendly site (and that is part of the Greener Camping Club). They are regularly rotated, in order to help keep the grass healthy and the pitches clean and green – how splendid. And there’s plenty of space for kids and dogs to play, run around or chill. Active types might be pleased to know that Dowlais Farm is on the Pier to Pier cycling track, which stretches between Clevedon and Weston-super-Mare (which are respectively five and 45 minutes’ drive away, otherwise). After more cycles? The almost 11-mile Strawberry Line is only five minutes’ drive away, and it passes by apple orchards, valleys and the Cheddar Gorge (if you pedal far enough, that is). Shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs are also within walking distance of the site.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Loved this campsite, and thoroughly recommend it.
Wide, spacious pitches, all level.

The showers are very clean and powerful, hot water .
We didn't need to use our own washing up liquid as eco liquid is provided and it's REALLY good stuff.

The chemical toilets are amazing, and cleaned numerous times a day.

Located near a supermarket, and a quiet dog walking lane nearby

Dave the owner made several trips to check we were okay and clean the loos.
Very friendly, knowledgeable chap!

We will be back, thank you for one of the best stays

Power optional grass tent or RV campsite

Liked A nice small site with some nice pitches, close to Clevedon.

Disliked They didn’t have my booking from pitch up and they put us on a pitch that was very difficult to access due to apple trees and other bushes. This was despite there being a couple of empty pitches in the main site. They need to sort out their booking system and cut back some of the trees.

 Richard T. 4 reviews

Power optional grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Only 6 placements but set in an orchard. Each placement was very spacious unlike other sites that cram you in. Electric hook up on each placement.
The compost toilets were clean and serviced twice a day. Not at all smelly as advertised. Two showers on site with instant hot water. 2 sinks for washing dishes. As a Green campsite there is no disposal point for chemical toilets.

Disliked Wi-fi would have been nice.

From the manager: Thank you for leaving a good review of our campsite Richard, it's always lovely to hear when people appreciate the large pitches which is something we pride ourselves on. We really hope that you visit again! :)

Power optional grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Quiet and facilities which were basic but good. Super easy to find and near the motorwat

Disliked The arrangement of trees made it a bit tricky to get into the pitch

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Phil
Thank you for your review, we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. The orchard has been this way since the 1300's believe it or not and we are aware that the trees can be a little tricky to manoeuvre around in the first instance but we feel that its a small price to pay as once your in and settled you have a lot of space per pitch and the trees are really part of the charm. We would love to welcome you back in the future and you could always request pitch number 1 or 2 for ease, we would happily book you in accordingly :)

Everything! A very nice and quiet…

Liked Everything! A very nice and quiet stop over. It’s all well laid out with good size pitches and great facilities.
We walked along the coastal path into Clevedon which took about 45 minutes and enjoyed dinner in the Salthouse Pub - an excellent stay overall

Abbie T. 5 reviews

Power optional grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Still my favourite little campsite! Have stayed at Dowlais a few times now and love it even more each time. It has generously large pitches, compost toilets are very well presented and cleaned regularly. The orchard is so peaceful and quiet with beautiful little walks on your door step. The location is spot on and the hosts are the friendliest you'll get. Everything is well sign posted, showers and wash up station are spot on and always clean and tidy. It's a beautifully small campsite so it's a short walk to the toilets. I highly recommend Dowlais Farm!

Disliked Nothing at all.

Local attractions

Among the attractions of the Mendip Hills National Landscape (40 minutes’ drive) are Cheddar Gorge, with its vertical limestone walls, and a network of caverns including Gough’s Cave. Check out the rock formations – and the shelves full of Cheddar cylinders, ageing in the coolness of the cave. Brunel’s SS Great Britain, in the marina in Bristol (45 minutes), is a Victorian-era steamship with period interiors. Fans of Isambard Kingdom Brunel can see another design by the 19th-century engineer further down the River Avon, at Clifton Suspension Bridge, which links Clifton Observatory to National Trust - Leigh Woods, a forested area inhabited by roe deer, peregrine falcons and bats. On the south-eastern fringes of the Mendip Hills is Wells (50 minutes), known for its splendid 12th-century cathedral. In addition to the spectacular green and gold stained glass of the Jesse Window, the cathedral has a colourful astronomical clock, with jousting knights facing each other every 15 minutes.
