Bowdens Crest Caravan and Camping Park

Dog walk through woodland directly from site. Quiet. Lovely views. Great bar & food

–

Clean showers and toilets, nice pitch and wonderful walks through woods. Lovely having a bar /club house on site. Very friendly would stay there again.

First day there the dogs at the kennels up the lane were a bit noisy but only for an hour or so, the rest of the stay was fine.

DON'T BE PUT OFF BY ACCESS ROAD REVIEWS.
Firstly we are a young family very new to towing (2nd time ever) we drive 2 hrs from the Midlands and was anxious of the access road but really not that bad if we can do it anyone can. Yes the road isn't the widest but not Impossible. It's quiet road to and we never came across a on coming car even when didn't have the caravan. The manager was superb in helping us reverse the caravan into our pitch and put us as ease. The local residents of the park specially a man named "tiny" helped us put up awning and even guided us out upon leaving so just want to say a massive thank you to you all.

Location- right in the middle of Mendip hills with superb views. Yes there is a shop on site which was closed a few times but 1 min down the road is a local tesco so wasn't a problem. Some lovely walks off the caravan site to. Not a lot around but perfect base camp. We drove out to Glastonbury tor. Burham on sea. Kilve beach fossil hunting we had the best time before coming back to caravan and having a bbq etc..

There is a bar on site which was open a few times but when wasn't.. again not a problem. Few beers from local tesco and bbq while the kids played away. Site is safe which coded gate and even a games room which the kids loved and most time went off playing in there whilst we had our bbq.

Showers and toilets were clean and Laundry area to which we didn't need to use.

The only minor thing we had was a lady with 2 border collie dogs tell us the one walk was for dog walkers only and to use the other path but we took no notice and tbh the path to right of park was much better. Went for miles through fields and then come to a forest.. Kids loved it.. Again only minor and not really to do with the site itself

We really enjoyed it here and considering we are complete newbies it was easy. Just want to say a big thank you to you all who helped us there. We hopefully will see you again :)

Peaceful, quiet, facilities clean but looking tired and need some TLC

We have used this site many times over the last 8 years and it has gone down hill. There was no food available in restaurant. The site has changed management in the last year, and no longer opens the restaurant from Monday to Thursday, which is one of the reasons we have used this site in the past and nothing was stated on the booking page to inform that there would be no food available. We saw nothing of the site management during our stay, unlike previous years when management have been friendly and walked around checking if all is ok and site users happy, It would appear that the site is heading towards becoming a site for statics and not for camping. Good site for use as a base but sadly it's lost it's personality.

I like to say how nice it was to be on this site. How clean and look after it was. And the site was so perfect.but I don't won't the hole country turning up. So could you just say it was ok please

Extremely friendly staff
Fantastic view over the Somerset levels
Great pub for drink and food

The owners were really welcoming, The view from the bar is amazing and the kids (6 and 3) loved the play area.

Friendly manager and staff
Little fair for the bank holiday was good- cakes, lucky dip and splat the rat were fun!
Nice cafe and bar with reasonable priced food and friendly service
Games room
Lovely view
Clean showers - lots of hot water, really nice.
Secure and safe campsite with gates and a code needed to gain entry to the site

We were a bit confused by the none numbered pitched areas in the centre of the field. We feel happier knowing a specific pitch and what space we have and that we aren't encroaching on other people's space.

We didn't like the strong smell from a certain type of herbal smokers in the far corner of the field. Suprised this was allowed.

Felt it was more geared towards campervans/caravans and families with older children or adult only couples
