Porlock Vale Campsite

A aimé When leaving Porlock Vale campsite yesterday morning we were treated to the magnificent sight of two deer stags crossing the golden field of tall waving grass. It was hard to leave a place where you can wake up to such breathtaking and uninterrupted views of of fields and forests with the Bristol Channel shimmering in the distance. We spent nine days there and loved every second of our stay. With so many varied walks and lovely villages around we could have easily stayed longer. More so because we felt so at home in the great care of Dawn.
Dawn welcomes every visitor with such spirit and enthousiasm
and makes them aware of the uniqueness of the surroundings. (With the ponies of Exmoor Pony Project at the hart of or all. )
Porlock Vale campground is much more than a beautiful camping field (with all the amenities one needs), it is a place so close to nature that it will give you all the calm you need to be aware of the right things in life. Thank you Dawn!!

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you so much for your great review, Erwin.

A aimé A beautiful camping field with stunning views across the valley and out to sea. We had a peaceful, relaxing 4 days with some lovely walks to great tea shops: Periwinkle, Horner. Dawn was very welcoming and informative. We had a glorious afternoon seeing her Exmoor Ponys and hearing all about their plight.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Jane, so glad you enjoyed the campsite and your holiday on Exmoor and really glad you were both able to join the Meet The Exmoor Ponies farm visit, too.

A aimé The site was beautiful and dawn was lovely. Everything was clean and well maintained and it was great being a smaller campsite. Everybody respected each other in terms of noise but also would want to have a friendly chat. Would definitely come again.

N'a pas aimé The shower trailer was quite minimal for a campsite. As it was quite warm and there aren’t any windows/extract fans it was very hot inside and didn’t make for a pleasant shower.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hello there, I'm not sure which campers you are as you've posted 'anonymous'. Very glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again. As you know, this is an off grid campsite, so providing flushing loos, warm water washing up area and warm showers is quite an achievement. We're delighted to be able to provide a decent shower trailer, with two brilliant, warm glamping showers, along with spacious pitches that most campers are delighted with.

A aimé Location, peace and quiet. Very friendly and helpful owner.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you very much Louise and looking forward to seeing you again on your return trip.

A aimé A beautiful, tranquil spot with fabulous walks in the surrounding countryside - a place to completely unwind and enjoy the amazing views. The campsite is spacious enough to find a quiet spot and the facilities are spotless. As another reviewer posted, as a female traveler, I felt comfortable and safe here and very welcomed by the owner. Will definitely be revisiting.

A aimé Wonderful views, peace, quiet and feeling of solitude 😊. Dawn is a very friendly host, and it was a treat not to have pubs and shops close by.
A real "back to basics" proper campsite.

N'a pas aimé Nothing at all, we had a super stay. We didn't want to leave.....

A aimé The welcome from Dawn, fresh air, big skies, relaxed site to catch up with friends, and incredible views are what camping is all about.

The well laid out facilities are a bonus - and amazing seeing as they are in the middle of an off grid field. Very much appreciated.

N'a pas aimé Having to leave and go home.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Jan, thank you for your lovely review and so glad you enjoyed the wonderful walking and cycling here. Hope to see you again.
It's probably a good moment to point out that while we don't have wifi at the off-grid campsite, 4G and (even 5G if you have EE) swirls around and enables most people to keep connected.
