  • Small, quiet adults-only site on the edge of Exmoor National Park
  • Dog-friendly; half an hour's walk from Wimbleball Lake and Haddon Hill
  • Small shop on site selling essentials; dog-friendly pub next door
Remote, rural, peaceful and just lovely are the boxes you'll tick at Lowtrow Cross Caravan and Camping Park, a small and friendly place close to Wimbleball Lake on the Somerset and Devon borders and on the edge of the spectacular Exmoor National Park. Set over four acres in an area of spectacular scenery, Lowtrow Cross Caravan and Camping Park is an adults-only site set up for guests to have restful and serene stays in a remote setting with easy access to many West Country attractions. Miles of uncrowded walking and cycling trails are easy to access from here, along with fishing, sailing, canoeing and horse riding. If you aim to take things a mite easier while on your peaceful break, Lowtrow Cross Caravan and Camping Park is also in a wildlife and birdwatching haven with an enclosed dog-walking area. The site is great for unwinding and watching the sunset over the moor scenery, and there's also more sky gazing when the sun goes down, as this part of Somerset is prime stargazing territory. (Nearby Exmoor was the first designated International Dark Sky Reserve in Europe too.) Friendly wardens Rob and Karen live on site and are rightly proud of their surroundings: they'll usually be out and about keeping the grounds and facilities tiptop, so give them a shout if you need any help or advice. There's a small shop on site selling essentials and local produce on site. A dog-friendly pub is also next door, just one minutes' walk away.

What customers say

This adult-only site is loved for its spotless grounds, chill vibe, and super helpful staff. Great for dogs! A few note sloped pitches and the pub's hours. Ideal for a chill escape.

Liked We had a very warm welcome from Cas and Rob even though we arrived in the pouring rain, they couldn’t have done more to make our stay wonderful and relaxing at the picturesque campsite. So thank you both for a fabulous time. Paul, Lynn and Barkley.

Power optional grass tent campsite (sloping)

Liked Lovely camp site. So peaceful & relaxing. Toilets, shower, laundry room were always clean and tidy including the grounds. We had a brilliant time, and some well earned rest. Rob & Kaz were very welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. They put us in a nice little spot. We loved it so much we have booked for next year. Thank you Rob & Kaz we will see you in June for birthday celebrations. We'll worth a visit & would recommend to friends & family. ⛺️🥰❤️😘

Disliked The weather! It was a bit windy. But hay is England you can't control the weather.
