Hi – can anyone recommend a campsite in the quantocks?
thanks!

moorhouse farm/campsite holford… 01278-741295

Second that recommendation, stayed there a few times now.

Another recommendation if that’s the one with the peacock! Damn shame you have to ride past the pub to get back to it from the Quantocks

Yep can also recommend that one. Found the pub down the road to be a real let down for food but OK for a drink, but very quiet. This was on two visits last year.

+1 for Moorhouse farm.
Just got back from there today and the site is great, very friendly owners and they’re trying to encourage mountain bikers. They let us come back after our ride to use the showers and wash down our bikes (we only stayed one night)
I had the toughest steak ever at the Plough, the food’s not that good, but no other options. Beer is good though and nice staff.
If you’re looking for a route, we did the MBR Killer Loop. There’s a fair bit of double track, one annoying bit on a hard earned descent into Great Wood, but the drops into the Coombes are good. Knackered now though.

If you stay at Moorhouse and don’t fancy risking the apparent low quality food in the Plough, the other nearby option is the Hood Arms, which is around a mile away in Kilve. Sadly it’s not as good to get to on foot as the road there has no Verge. The back route is better but you still have a couple hundred metres of vergeless A39 to walk along. There is a Bridle way that gets you there but it’s often a muddy downhill river.

The food has always been well rated, though the prices may put those on a Budget or small pockets.

Moorhouse is the only campsite that you can get onto the trails within 10mins of the campsite and is certainly one of the quieter sites.

There are more options of camping in the area, but those will mean a drive to the trail head or at least a 30-40min ride along roads.

Enjoy!

+1 to the Hood Arms in Kilve and +1 to the back route being a muddy downhill river (and that was a couple of years ago, dread to think what it’s like now)

Forget the tent…. (and I’m an avid camper!)

Just at the bottom of Great Wood 😀

It certainly was a muddy gully of filth last month when i went down there.

Ciderinsport. Did you hang any more sexy bottles in the rafters for the scout groups to draw inspiration from?

We left them an infla table guitar pinned to the gable to ponder over this time 8)
