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.

Holly G.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (large)

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!

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.

Overall a pleasant stay in a good area at a reasonable price.

Lisa C.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Amazing place. All staff very friendly! Swimming pool was a big bonus (had to pre book a slot on an app but it’s free and it makes sure it’s not too crowded). Close to local pubs and Weston-Super-Mare! Very well tended fields and great locations for pitches (you’re allocated a number pitch). Well maintained play parks and great entertainment for the evenings

Disliked The weather! (Can’t be helped anyway!). The ground for pitching the tent was great condition and held our tent strong!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind comments :-) We're sorry that the weather wasn't better for you!

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.
