  • Family-run Somerset campsite near Bridgwater, with easy M5 access
  • A 15-minute drive to the Quantock Hills, and 20 to Burnham-on-Sea
  • Modern showers, communal kitchen and dog run; pubs 10 minutes’ drive
Looking for a quiet, family-orientated caravan park with generous-sized pitches in Somerset? Your search is over, for Newton Brook Caravan and Camping near Bridgwater is that place. It’s a friendly spot to overnight (it’s a short drive from Junction 24 of the M5 motorway) if you’re heading to Cornwall, or for longer stays if you’d like to make further forays into Somerset. Facilities to make life easy for families on site are tiptop, with a spotless, contemporary shower and loo block, plus a communal kitchen with fridges, microwave and washing-up sinks to make rustling up supper a breeze. North Petherton village (10 minutes’ drive) is the spot for picking up essentials in the convenience store (and it has a sprinkling of pubs and cafés if cooking is off limits on your holiday). As well as welcoming kids – there’s green space on site to play around safely and a smartly kitted-out games room to keep everybody occupied – the park is dog-centric too. Any canine with a zoomie attack can run around in the enclosed field, and there are walks aplenty along the Taunton Bridgwater Canal to tire everybody out (dog included). The park is located right next to a family farm, so you can often spot cattle and sheep grazing contentedly in surrounding fields, with the chance to see gambolling lambs in early spring and calves a bit later in the year.

What customers say

Spotless site with great modern amenities & friendly staff. Spacious pitches, electric/water hookups. Close to M5, good for stopovers. Some note highway noise, others peace. A few mentioned inconsistent shower temps/hot water.

Paul B. 8 reviews

Powered grass campsite

Liked Very convenient for the M5, making it a good stopover on the way to or from the West Country. The site has a relaxed, informal feel, with no real arrival or departure times being enforced. Despite looking quite busy when you arrive, it actually feels less busy than it appears. The reason is that the vast majority of pitches are occupied by semi-permanent setups, many of which are used by Hinkley Point workers who are away from the site during the day.

There are really only a handful of pitches available for touring caravans and motorhomes. Facilities are well appointed and generally good.

Disliked There is quite a lot of movement around the site early in the morning, particularly before 6am, as workers leave for Hinkley Point.

The ladies’ toilet block is currently out of order, with the disabled toilets and showers having been reassigned for general use. There doesn’t appear to be much work taking place, or any great sense of urgency, to get the main block open again.

Overall, a functional and convenient site, particularly for a stopover, but probably not somewhere I’d choose for a week’s holiday.

Liked Very friendly and facilities spotless. The toilet block looks recently modernised. Great location to stop over and explore the area.
Definitely would stay again!

Disliked Sweets in the toilet block. Nice gesture and looks good. I know that some people's toilet hygiene is great so wouldn't touch them.
Reminds me of peanuts on the bar.

Liked We booked after leaving another site with horrendous facilities and was welcomed by Robert who was an absolute gentleman, so layed back he should have fallen over. Water was by every power point and had a cracking dog run. The shower block has to be the best around and very well maintained.

Disliked Absolutely nothing.

Local attractions

If you’re planning on sticking around in Somerset for a while, you’re in pole position here for days out exploring by car. Head to north-coast beaches like Berrow (half an hour’s drive) and Burnham-on-Sea (20 minutes) for some family fun splashing in the shallows, or turn south and treat the kids to a day out on the rollercoasters and 4D rides at Crealy Theme Park and Resort (50 minutes). Rather explore on foot? There's plenty of choice for walkers around here, with the gorgeous Quantock Hills (15 minutes) or Blackdown Hills Areas of Outstanding Nature Beauty (40 minutes) riddled with hiking trails. Travel a little further and you can discover the walking routes of wild Exmoor, as well as historic spots like Tarr Steps clapper bridge (an hour) and the pretty town of Dulverton (50 minutes). Other places you might like to consider exploring are Wells (45 minutes), with its spectacular cathedral and castle, or funky little Glastonbury (40 minutes), awash with hippy shops and cute little cafés.
