What customers say
A peaceful, adult-only campsite near a welcoming pub. Spacious, mostly level pitches, good facilities (some need updates). The pub offers great, affordable food and large portions. Perfect for Exmoor exploration, it's great value with a relaxed vibe. Many want to return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Good value for money and a decent basic place for a nights stopover.
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked A cheap win for the night. Really basic, with toilets, Shower and washing up facilities. The pub is lovely and the food looked and smelt delicious (we didn’t order food as we had our own prepped). If you’re looking for a cheap stop over then this place is ideal. The staff seemed lovely and helpful.
Disliked Shower facilities were really basic (one looked like it was a cubicle that had been taken out of a caravan!).
Toilet and Shower facilities are unisex but this is made apparent before we booked so if this is a problem then don’t book.

OK site let down by not being able to eat at the pub
Anonymous Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Site itself was nice and loo blocks clean. Only one washing up sink though.
Disliked We picked this site due to it being a pub campsite and tried to book a pub table in advance but were told we could just rock up and would definitely be able to eat.
When we arrived on the Saturday evening at 6.15, we were told they were no longer taking bookings because it was so busy, being a Bank Holiday weekend. They told others there was a 2-2.5hr wait. Then, after a bit, we were told we could just order cold starters and desserts which is what we opted to do. I am a diabetic and this general lack of mains did not make my life very easy but I have to eat and inject.
As an aside, the information on Pitchup is misleading because in some places it says barbecues are allowed, in others they're not. They're not - which was frustrating as we actually had back-up BBQ food on board but couldn't cook it as an alternative!
All they need to do is a) update Pitchup. b) either introduce a pub bookings system, or train staff to manage expectations around actually getting food on the phone, if they insist on not having such a system.
A disappointing stay (and response from the site about our complaint). Be warned... they will not necessarily feed you properly if they're busy (even if it is early) and you may therefore miss out on the 'pub camping' experience.

Anonymous Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Really loved our stay here, clean and simple lovely views from the front of the Inn. Clean and peaceful and the site manager was so lovely giving us tips for the best pitch to go for a bit of shade during the hottest days of this year for our dog. Pitches were not level but as long as you have the right equipment easy sorted.
We had unlimited breakfast and the carvery from the pub and a number of evening drinks and found it all tasty with good service

Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Staff were friendly, both in the pub and the guy that showed us to our pitch and explained the set up.
Pitches were nice and flat and the site wasn’t too big and was lovely and quiet.
The showers were nice and hot, you just had to keep pressing the button before the water stopped.
The pub was a bonus, especially when the weather really got too hot, it was lovely and cool inside. The Sunday carvery looked lovely but we had already sorted our dinner.
Disliked Could have done with more than one washing up point.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Lovely site. Was shown the field and asked where I'd prefer to be. Big enough so that I could get a quiet area. Good facilities. Pub is really nice and has nice food too.
Price is about what camping should be. Well done Raleghs Cross.
