Nestling at the base of the Dunkery Commons (5000 acres of spectacular wilderness) in Exmoor National Park, Porlock Vale Campsite offers stunning views across to Selworthy, Hurlestone Point and the Bristol Channel.

This lovely field on a working farm on the National Trust Holnicote Estate welcomes adult campers seeking peace, quiet and to connect with nature. Explore the beautiful surrounding countryside and coastline with endless walking and cycling – and enjoy the sunsets and the clear dark skies as you relax at the campsite.

Pretty local villages and hamlets (including Luccombe, Horner, Selworthy, Allerford, Bossington and Wootton Courtenay) and Porlock and Minehead just a 3 mile drive.

At Porlock Vale Campsite, we believe in the power of nature to enhance mental and physical health and wellbeing. We created this campsite to offer a place to disconnect from your busy life and reconnect with yourself and the natural world.  Well behaved dogs are welcome.

We offer fifteen spacious pitches in this nine acre field, for tents and campervans. There are basic facilities, with warm showers, flushing and compost toilets and washing up area. Low level solar and battery lighting. No electricity on site, in this stunning Exmoor Dark Sky Reserve.

The farm and surrounding area are included in the National Trust Holnicote Estate’s Landscape Recovery Scheme, where we’re working to evolve the wildlife corridors and habitat, create wildflower and herbal areas, wood pasture and wetlands. Myriad wildlife, including red deer, birds of prey, beavers and water voles, and this farm is home to a large Exmoor pony conservation herd.

Open from early May to the end of September.
