VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesMay 2026

My husband and I have just returned from a fabulous, quiet 10 night stay at Waterrow Touring Park. As soon as we arrived we were welcomed by a friendly, cheerful member of staff and shown to our level pitch. Throughout our stay, the site grounds and the facilities were kept very clean. The barn housed everything you needed from washing up facilities to a heated shower block and constant hot showers. There is a short woodland walk along the river, which our dog absolutely loved, and along the route there is a fenced off field where you can let your dog off the lead safely.. The site had a small shop that stocks the essentials from milk to toilet roll, but the piece de resistance was the lemon drizzle cake, which they but in from the local bakery... Go on you know you want too 😜 There is a 20 minute walk along the other side of the river to the local pub where they serve delicious food. I would totally recommend this site and will return when we are in the area of Taunton again. Thank you

Happy camping
