  • 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.

What customers say

Tucked away in a tranquil orchard, this cosy spot has ample, flat sites and a chilled vibe. Facilities are mostly spotless, including eco-compost loos and hot showers. Great for coastal strolls and bike rides, with handy access to local shops. A bit dear for solo travellers, and some road/camper noise noted. Good for a quiet, nature escape.

Power optional grass tent or motorhome site

Liked This site maybe downplays itself a bit in the listings and has a scruffy entrance but it’s really very good indeed. Super clean facilities, wide orchard pitches and the location is great for Clevedon.
Great windfall apples in September.

Disliked Some people mention the traffic noise from the road but there is very little of it. You are more likely to bear the pleasant sound of chatting joggers, walkers and cyclist going by on the other side of the hedge.

Power optional grass tent or motorhome site

Liked Stop over from Devon, easy to book, lovely showers. Cute site.

Disliked Didn’t like having to pay to join a green club as this made the price quite expensive, it was quite out the way tbh, and no internet which I didn’t check beforehand so my fault, couldn’t cycle into town as it was raining so internet would have been nice!

From the manager: Hi Helen
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are glad that you appreciated the showers and thought our site was cute.
We are sorry that you weren't so happy to pay the GCC membership fee of £12 but this is completely unavoidable as its who we are licensed with, it does give you access to around 150 other greener camping club sites in England and Wales which I hope you can utilise.

As with my last stay, I…

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked As with my last stay, I appreciated the beauty of the surroundings, the spacious pitch and the atmosphere on site. The showers, washing facilities and washing up facilities were clearly marked and in good condition.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Morgan
Thanks for coming back to the orchard, we love having you!
We can only apologise for the toilet paper issue and we do always aim to keep it well stocked with toilet paper and sawdust. As you mentioned the orchard was busy with families so this obviously impacted things somewhat. We are always contactable on the mobile numbers displayed on the information board and are happy to respond as quickly as possible to any requests. We do hope you welcome you back again! :)

It's a really lovely, small campsite.…

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.
