Dowlais Farm Holidays

View prices & book Last booked one day ago 9.4 87 reviews

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.

Kirsty B. May 2025

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Believe the hype! This place is an absolute gem. Quiet, peaceful, large pitches in a beautiful orchard, alongside a seldom used road (apart from bicycles as it's part of the national cycling network). The compost toilets are spotless, with lovely smelling foam soap for hand washing. David the owner was very helpful. For those cycling, it's only a 6 min cycle to The Salthouse (for food) or 10 min cycle to town (for shopping).

Disliked: Nothing

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: What a fantastic review! Thank you so much, we love how you appreciated the eco friendly hand soap! :) we would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back to Dowlais Farm in the future.

Fantastic over night stay at a lovely little campsite.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: We loved this small site with a laid back approach.
The location was great to get to the pier to pier cycle route. The friendly owner met us and showed us to our pitch, although if he hadn’t spotted us, there was a board showing our pitch for us.
Compost toilet was cleaned regularly, showers hot and face wash facility basic, but fitted perfectly with the site 👍🏻
The orchard was a lovely setting. We loved our time here and will be returning.

Disliked: Nothing - a great little find

Liked: Lovely site. Easy arrival and good communication prior to arrival. Facilities good and showers hot. Our 4 year old had a great time. On the pier to pier cycle route to Clevedon and Weston so ideally located.

Liked: Absolutely fantastic site, we loved the setting within the orchard, although on a working farm it was very peaceful
There was a board on the gate at the entrance to the site allocating your place which was helpful when arriving and the pitches were well marked
We met the owner David who was very helpful
This was the first time we had stayed on a greener camping club site and loved the concept, we will be back

Local attractions

Among the attractions of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (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 Mendip Hills AONB 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.
