Porlock Vale Campsite

Polubione: First return of the year after Dawn has made loads of improvements. New showers, compost loos along with flushing toilets. Improved drinking water supply and hot water dish washing facilities. To top it all off our Sunday night was spent all alone with the wildlife.
Perfect stay well done Dawn see you soon.

Od administratora: So lovely to see you both back here and thank you for the great review and also the great pictures!

Polubione: This is semi-wild camping at its finest.
The grandest of fields, surrounded by the most breathtaking views. Forget Kent, this is most definitely God’s County & the white church at Selworthy (seen in the distance) surely proves this.
There is ample room to find your own secluded patch & the facilities are most welcome. Dawn is the coolest & most gracious hostess & don’t forget to check out the wonderful work she is doing with Exmoor ponies.
Dawn, thank you so much for sharing your little slice of heaven…can’t wait to return.

Od administratora: Thank you for your lovely and eloquent review, Fiona! Great pics too - you beautifully captured that amazing view through the door and back across the vale from Selworthy Church. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

Polubione: Absolutely love this site, the views are stunning, surrounded by nothing but greenery, listening to nature and the nearby farm animals, this place is good for the soul. Dawn couldn't be nore welcoming and the facilities are exactley what you need. We will be coming back when ever we can, the dogs have made us promise 😃

Niepolubione: Nothing to dislike at all apart from having to leave

Od administratora: Thank you for your lovely review - and what glorious weather we had at the weekend! Look forward to seeing you again.

Polubione: Absolutely loved this site for its views and for how quiet it was. I watched the sunset colours keep changing over the sea from my bed - stunningly beautiful and a priceless experience! I watched deer grazing in the same field below me.
The site has everything you need in terms of loos, hot showers and washing up areas. Dawn was extremely kind and welcoming, she keeps a great eye on the campsite.

Niepolubione: Make sure you follow Dawns directions, the sat nav will take you up a very narrow road. Head to the village instead of the left turn it asks for, you’ll see it signposted at that point to the village. 😅

Od administratora: Thank you Isobel, it was lovely to meet you.

Polubione: Spectacular landscape, site situated in very quiet location just under the rim of Exmoor with a view out to the Bristol Channel in the distance. Perfectly adequate facilities - clean toilets and shower. Friendly reception from the owner.

Niepolubione: Not really a dislike, but field has a significant slope and we would advise campervan users to use the higher pitches if possible - our van struggled a bit with the slope when the grass was dewy. Minor issue though.

Od administratora: Thank you for your great review Andrew and it was good to meet you both.
We do prefer campervans to park at the top of the field, especially if the ground is damp. While the field has a mild slope in the middle section, this is mainly given over to longer grass areas, with no pitches. The extensive flat and flatter areas are at the top, on both sides and at the lower end of the field - so plenty of suitable pitches to choose and masses of space between campers.

Polubione: Beautiful site at Porlock Vale campsite. Wonderful views, very peaceful. The owner Dawn and her two gorgeous dogs couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Great instructions on how to use the showers and toilets. Great to be off grid and little mobile signal.

Od administratora: Hi Jo, it was so lovely to meet you all - and such beautiful dogs! So glad you saw the red deer in the long grass, what an amazing experience! You're warmly welcome to come back soon. Thank you for this great review.

Polubione: We liked absolutely everything about this site. It's location is stunning and Exmoor is only a field away. The facilities were excellent, the welcome warm and friendly and the owner is committed to restoring the natural environment, both in the high environmental standards she has set for the site and in her participation with wider greening projects in Porlock Vale.

Od administratora: Thank you so much Mark. It was lovely to meet you both and it's so heartening when people are interested in the land regeneration and wildlife work we are doing here.

Polubione: This beautiful site is a very special place for those who love nature - the most relaxing, restorative camping experience we’ve ever had! Perfectly hosted too.

Od administratora: Dear J & J, thank you so much for your lovely review. It was great to meet you both and so glad you enjoyed your holiday. You've perfectly summed up what we're aiming to achieve - a relaxing, restorative camping experience!

Polubione: Porlock Vale is a beautiful site, with stunning views. It was quiet and well maintained. The showers and toilets were very clean and there was an area to wash up and recycle/throw away rubbish. I was fortunate enough to meet the owner Dawn, who told me a little bit about the Exmoor Pony Project that she founded+runs. If you purchase bottled water/firewood at the campsite all proceeds go towards this not for profit organisation. Would highly recommend staying at this site if you're in the area!

Niepolubione: Nothing to dislike.
