  • 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 anglers… 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.

Warren D.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked Good location, well stocked spa a mile down the road. Easy to find and good access roads. The site itself had lovely lakes, very pretty and nice relaxed vibe. Good dog play area and childrens playground. Handy games room with microwave and fridge freezer. Good little honesty shop. Nice washing up area with lots of hot water and self contained loos with sink and powerful shower. The owners themselves are very nice and helpful and maintain the site very well.

Disliked I didn't like the unisex toilets. Lots of men leaving the seat up which means women have to put it down. Lots of wee splashed.

Evan W.

Electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Clean showers and toilets, playground for the kids, games room, books available to read, washing up station, beautiful lakes, and close to the north Somerset coast.

Disliked Lack of privacy on the site - could have used some hedges or trees between pitches, but this was a minor detail we knew about coming to camp there. Not a surprise, and didn't deter us from going, just the one small thing that would make the site a little better.

Karen R.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The site was perfect for what we wanted. Not too big, toilets / shower block facilities were fantastic. The owners Jennifer and Gareth were so lovely and welcoming and helpful. Staff member Katy also keeps the facilities looking great and clean, and was also helpful. The May fete was on at the site when we stayed which was lovely to be part of. Felt part of a community. Fishing lakes were fab, partner enjoyed the fishing. Nice and peaceful. Will definitely go back again

Disliked Nothing really to dislike. If I had to say anything…Didn’t realise it was half term until after we had booked so lots of children having their holidays. Prefer a bit more of an adult only stay so will be aware next time we book! There is no wifi so had to use hot spot off phone for smart TV. Wasn’t always best signal

Laura B.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked Beautiful site, well maintained all staff were very welcoming, friendly & helpful.
The fishing lakes were beautiful & lovely to stroll around. We also visited Blue Anchor Beach which is a dog friend beach nearby & has a lovely stretch of sand for the dogs to run on. Prior to the weekend we had a email to advise there would be an event on at the weekend with music, food trucks & a fete on Sunday. It was a well organised event & finished at a reasonable time (9/10pm).

Disliked Nothing

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, a Site of Special Scientific Interest 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.
