Peaceful, well-kept site, with friendly owners. Basic but clean facilities. Great base for exploring, though access road can be tricky for motorhomes. No showers yet, but a plan for the future.

Power optional grass caravan site
Liked Great little sight, really quiet and the owners were so friendly - so we’re all the other campers. My little one loved the ducks on sight coming out to say hello! 20ish minutes from Weston super mare,
We also visited burnham on sea and Brean whilst we were here. Close enough to everything as long as your driving!
Disliked Could possibly do with more than one toilet, but being a small sight it was manageable! We really have nothing to complain about

Power optional grass caravan site
Liked Great campsite in a lovely peaceful location. Only a short walk/bile ride to join the Strawberry line track.
We were made to feel very welcome and the owners were on hand to answer all the questions we had.
Our children loved it and enjoyed playing with the owners daughter.
Basic facilities but nothing else really needed for us and we enjoyed a couple of nights just chilling.
Will certainly go back to this site as it had a nice feel about it.
Good location to explore the wider area.
Disliked Nothing.
