  • Peaceful site at the foot of the Quantock Hills
  • Three fishing lakes on site
  • A base for Cheddar, Glastonbury and the Exmoor and Somerset coast
Solo sorts, families, couples and most of all anglersā€¦ come and get sorted at serene and scenic Burton Springs, for a super stay in a Somerset wildlife haven. This peaceful place is at the foot of the Quantock Hills and a nifty base for getting out around the Quantocks, the west Somerset and Exmoor coastline, and smashing Somerset settings like Cheddar Gorge and Glastonbury Abbey, both under 20 miles away. And if your group are fisherfolk? Cast off on site in the three handsome and well-stocked lakes: there's one each of coarse fishing, carp fishing and cat fishing to keep all angling enthusiasts hooked. Please note that fishing is subject to additional charges and must be booked in advance. (Non-fisherfolk have plenty of wildlife to see, walks to wander and quiet spots in which to hide with a book or three.) Burton Springs is well kept all round by its friendly family team, who've added a spankingly clean shower and washroom as well as a washing-up area for guests' use. There's also a games room for all ages, with table football and a dartboard, a selection of board games, DVDs and reading material, and a small play area in the pitching field with a pirate ship, climbing walls, slides and a basket swing. Food and drinks are available to buy in the site shop.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Great location and facilities. Nice clean showers and toilets. Some lovely walks right from the site.

Disliked: Do not like the fact that it is Ā£5 per dog. I do not agree with having to pay extra for a dog.

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked: Site is flat, well maintained and bays are marked so itā€™s not a free for all with tight spacing. Dog off ledad pen with toys was fab. Toilet/showers clean and plentiful

Disliked: Shower did run out of hot water mid use. People donā€™t all follow the rules (some noise late and off lead poorly trained dogs) not a owner fault so much. Hinckley building works audible from about 7 am on weekdays

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Clean well run site. Handy little shop with basics. Pleny of things in the games room for the kids. Fridge freezer and washing up area with plenty of hot water. Two set of shower blocks, cubicles are toilet and shower combined, very spacious the newest white one is very good is brilliant with powerful shower , without the annoying push-button ( the old one does). All are very clean. However surprisingly no hand drier or paper towels, but a single hand towel, not very hygienic! Water and wastes good clean set-up Fishing lake looks nice and peaceful

Disliked: A bit of a marmite one, camp fires. I appreciate that many people like them, But I donā€™t, especially being surrounded by them. The site is very remote, everything is a trek away beaches , pub or shop etc.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are in the country and surrounded by nature. If you looked at google maps before booking you would of seen this. In general things are a 30min drive away. We only have single phase electric, which does not give us enough power for hand driers. also the noise would be disturbing for everyone around the lakes. Paper towels, i'm afraid don't work, as people put them down the toilets and as we are not no mains sewage, but a treatment plant, this would block the pumps and break the tanks. The towels are an alternative and changed 3/4 times a day.

Loved it.

Lotus bell tent (family)

Liked: Facilities, lakes, staff.and the belle tents were the best I've ever stayed in.

Disliked: Not sure a dislike, more the elephant in the room, or even (contradictory) a talking point... the huge Hinkley Pount power station looming large over the site.

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked: Such a warm welcome when we arrived. We loved how family friendly this campsite is (dogs included!) we camped (2 adults and toddler) and our friends brought there campervan (plus dog) we was located in the same field which was brilliant (a lot of sites keeps campervans and tents separate) all the pitches are very generous in size and from all the pitches in this field you could see the play park added bonus! . Makes entertainment when setting up and packing up so much easier! There was also a dog park. The site was beautiful, peaceful l with the added extra of the lakes to fish and the games room is a well appreciated added bonus to this site. The pop up food vans are brilliant touch too. The fish and chip van was there Saturday lunch and Fish and chips after setting up the tent was really appreciated and brilliant quality two lovely ladies running it. It was so peaceful we didnā€™t leave site and just enjoy a quiet weekend! Very well looked after site, great location and very reasonably price, We will be back thank you.

Disliked: Only one downside we found, and it is a minor issue there was no just toilet blocks. They all were toliets with showers so in the morning you was queueing 20 minutes to go toliet as everyone was as showering. Which is okay as an adult not ideal with a toddler

Lotus bell tent (family)

Liked: Everything was great! The owners were on hand from the moment we arrived until we left. Our Bell tent was immaculate and had everything you could want, even electricity which was a great surprise, Hot water bottles were a lovely treat for the chilly nights. šŸ˜€ Campsite was small so not overcrowded, shower rooms were great (shower, toilet and basin in each). Fishing lakes were well stocked which got my daughter hooked!

Disliked: Beds were a little firm but that's a personal thing.

Local attractions

Burton Springs' closest chunk of coast is at Burnham-On-Sea about seven and a half miles away. Seaside resort Weston-super-Mare is a few miles further along the coast from Burnham; for the Exmoor coastline, stretches of shoreline and sand like Kilve, Dunster, Minehead and Porlock are a short drive in the other direction. The South West Coast Path, Britain's longest long-distance path, starts from Minehead on its epic 630 miles via the coasts of Devon and Cornwall to finish up at Poole Harbour in Dorset. If this is a tad too much, other hikes around the region include the Quantock Hills, England's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; Brean Down, aĀ Site of Special Scientific InterestĀ managed by the National Trust, and the Mendip Hills, also an AONB and home to splendidly spectacular Cheddar Gorge. The Burton team also reckons guests should take a look at the small wildlife and adventure park Tropiquaria, the National Trust's Dunster Castle and Fyne Court, the Bakelite Museum at Wilton, the RSPB reserve at Greylake, and the rides and attractions of Brean Leisure Park. Paintballing is available at Cannington Park, nearby at Bridgwater.
