  • Peaceful secluded family farm within Exmoor National Park
  • 50 metres from the shore of Wimbleball Lake
  • Direct access to the lake and the cycle path around it
Hunting for a peaceful and secluded Somerset spot with a backdrop fit for a postcard? Stay at Wimbleball Holidays, 20 minutes' drive from Dulverton, and you can wake up to sublime views of Wimbleball Lake, a mere 50 metres away. The location is spot on if you fancy trying your hand at a range of watersports, including kayaking, canoeing, rowing, sailing and windsurfing. Walking, cycling, birdwatching and fishing are also popular picks if you’d rather appreciate the lake views while sticking to dry land. More? A 10-minute stroll along the shore of the lake will take you to the impressive Wimbleball Dam. This peaceful park is within Exmoor National Park, so think moorland, woodland and wildlife… and plenty of ways to explore it all. The area's also famed for its stargazing (it was Europe's first Dark Sky Reserve, no less), so come prepped to stay up late and turn sights skywards on a clear night. The site is on a working family farm and at certain times of year visitors are welcome to get involved with the running of it, with shearing to be done and lambs to be fed (go on – you know you want to have a go…). There are a couple of village pubs around two miles from the site but if you can’t tear yourself away from the views, barbecues and campfires are permitted on site. As for facilities, a washing-up area, toilets and showers are available on site.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The location - It's nice and quiet (with the exception of the farm animals and water birds but thats not an issue if you like animals and their not that loud even) It's big enough for the six pitches to have plenty of space each. No major roads near by, lovely walks to do including a lake and activity centre close by.

The Owners - Very friendly and welcoming, from the start they have great communication with you and respond very quickly. Very accomodating and great with the kids (the bubbles were a great touch).

The Facilities - They have three toilets, two showers which work well and are nice and clean. There is a massive chest freezer and two fridges that can be used along with an electric kettle. Two washing up stations which are covered so even if its raining you can stay dry.

Disliked Nothing, it's perfect for a short stay (we did four days comfortably)

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked This small, peaceful campsite was perfect for me as a solo camper. It had everything I needed for my two night stay.

Facilities and the site are very clean and organised.

The owners Brian and Caroline were fantastic, Brian was really helpful with tips on places to visit and where to get provisions.

It was soo peaceful, I haven’t slept that well for ages.

The site is literally a 2 minute walk from the lake.

Some really good walks of differing mileage and terrain possible from the site.

The added beauty of this site is there is no light pollution so on a cloudless night and you can see so many stars and constellations. It is stunning.

Would highly recommend.

Disliked Nothing!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Really nice campsite. Great location and big quiet pitches. Close to lots of good things and the lake is right on the doorstep

The owners are both really nice, we had discovered we had lost the attachment to our tent pump and they arranged for us to come back and stay free of charge. We have now stayed there twice and will be back again

Liked A wonderful campsite - beautifully small with only six pitches, great position a few mins walk from the lake, and all the facilities you need including a kettle to make that first morning tea so easily! Really recommend a stay here, we loved it.

Route directions

There is a similarly named site next door; look for a sign saying ‘Wimbleball Holidays/South Greenslade Farm’. The postcode (TA22 9NU) takes you to a house 500 metres from the farm. When the satnav tells you that 'you have reached your destination', keep on going to the end of the road (bear left at the fork) and it’s the first house on the right with an arch over the gate.

Local attractions

There's direct access to Wimbleball Lake and its surrounding cycle path from the site, so you don’t have to go far for things to do… just up and go. The lake’s activity centre is less than a mile away; here you can get to grips with a host of activities on water and land, and there’s a high ropes course to tackle too. Swap the lake for the seafront if you’d rather, as Somerset’s beaches – including Minehead – are around half an hour's drive away. If you’re heading to Minehead and feel like seeking out a bit of history, Dunster village is about five minutes from there, for a wander around Dunster Castle, Conygar Tower and a working watermill. For family-friendly adventures, it’s all aboard the West Somerset Railway for a ride on a steam train (10 minutes away by car) or off to meet the ponies at Exmoor Pony Centre (half an hour). 40 minutes in the car will take you to the county town of Taunton for an array of high street and independent shops to keep shopaholics busy – historic Bath Place is a good spot to start with if you're partial to picking up bits in independent shops.
