The scent of woodsmoke drifts across the grass as you pitch beneath Exmoor's rolling skyline, where the moorland meets proper country pub warmth.
This is a genuine village stopover—tent pitches, space for campervans and caravans—pitched right by The Shrewsbury Arms in Winsford, one of those Somerset villages that feels pleasingly off the main track. It suits walkers exploring Exmoor's combes and ridges, couples after a low-key escape, and anyone who likes their camping with a proper local at stumbling distance. Dog owners will find miles of moorland paths radiating from the doorstep, and anglers might appreciate New Pool being reachable for a morning's fishing before breakfast.
Facilities aren't detailed, so it's worth checking what's available when you book—ask about campfires on arrival if you're hoping for an evening by the flames. Expect an unpretentious, old-school feel: village pub hospitality, Exmoor views, and the sort of quietness that makes you remember what stars actually look like.
