- Campers please — only ONE family or household per booking form
Please click either of the two “accordions” below to open (or close) them.
Campsite Location — see Campsite Location
The campsite is located in the heart of the International Dark Sky Reserve, which means you are perfectly located for some excellent stargazing; you just need to look up on a clear night!
Westermill makes an ideal base for exploring the open moorland, wooded valleys and spectacular coastal scenery, or just simply for relaxing and escaping the hum drum of everyday life.
Westermill campsite is a beautiful, secluded valley site in the centre of Exmoor National Park, which consists of about 13 acres, divided into four fields.
Set up your pitch on mown meadows beside the River Exe where you can take full advantage of private access to a two mile stretch of the river.
The first field is fenced off from the river and all the others are open to the river.
Given appropriate supervision it is a children’s playground, allowing them to make dams, fish with nets and splash around, whilst parents relax.

- Last and not least... you are more than welcome to simply "turn up" — Westermill will find space for you. Just remember — Cash or BACS only! — Oh, yes: you will still have to fill in the required booking data when you arrive...
