Porlock Vale Campsite

The murmur of Horner Water drifts across this peaceful meadow site, where ancient oaks frame views toward the wooded slopes of Exmoor. Morning mist clings to the vale before burning off to reveal the patchwork of hedgerows and farmland that defines this gentler edge of the national park, while evenings bring the distinctive calls of deer echoing from the surrounding woodland.

This traditional campsite welcomes tents, campervans, and caravans to Somerset's Exmoor coast, ideally positioned for walkers tackling the South West Coast Path and families exploring the dramatic coastline between Porlock Weir and Lynmouth. The village of Porlock itself sits nearby, a historic settlement that's served as a gateway to Exmoor for centuries.

Facilities are straightforward and well-maintained, with toilets and showers serving the pitches scattered across the grassy meadow. Campfires may be permitted, though you'll need to check current policy on arrival. The atmosphere remains refreshingly uncommercialised—this is camping that lets Exmoor's natural drama take centre stage, with the moorland heights and shingle beaches doing all the talking.
