The salt tang of the Bristol Channel carries inland on the breeze, while behind you Exmoor's wooded slopes rise toward open moorland — you're camped right on the edge of both worlds.

This Caravan and Motorhome Club site welcomes tents alongside touring caravans and campervans, making it a good choice for families wanting a proper base to explore Minehead's long beach and the network of coast and moorland walks that fan out from the town. The year-round opening means you can pitch up for winter storm-watching or summer bucket-and-spade trips, and the Somerset coastline here gives you that seaside-meets-hills combination that's hard to beat. Dog walkers will find miles of coastal path in both directions.

Facilities aren't specified in detail, though as a Club site you can expect the usual amenities. Campfires are worth checking on arrival — policies can vary. It's a tidy, well-kept kind of place rather than a wild camping vibe, suited to folk who want reliable facilities and easy access to Minehead itself.
