Why stay here ...

We regret to announce that Ilminster UK Club Campsite will not operate this year and is leaving the Club network. We know this news will be disappointing as Ilminster has been the setting for many treasured holiday memories. Having reviewed the needs of the wider membership, our priority is to focus resources on sites in other parts of the country that better reflect the needs and travel patterns of our membership.

This decision sits alongside continued investment in strengthening and expanding our UK Club Campsite network. Recent additions, including Dornafield, Carnon Downs, Bridport, Cayton and most recently Lickpenny Matlock, provide members with choice in highly popular locations. Existing Club Campsites are also being improved with Bridport Bingham Grange reopening in July after a major redevelopment and Hillhead in Brixham benefiting from upgraded and increased range of pitches, pool, entertainment and restaurant facilities.

While Ilminster leaving the network will be disappointing for some, the Club network now offers more pitches than ever. We thank everyone who has stayed at and supported Ilminster over the years and we hope members will continue to enjoy exploring our wider network, creating new holiday memories to cherish alongside those made at Ilminster.

Directions

Map showing campsite location

Please only use these recommended directions for your final approach and not sat nav, due to alternative roads being unsuitable for towing. Turn left off the A303 (Ilminster - Honiton) at crossroads signposted Crickleaze, Whitestaunton (about 0.75 mile past La Campagna, Restaurant & Bar) into narrow lane. The site is through the second entrance on the left in 250 yards. Do not turn into first entrance (Five Acres House) as it is difficult to back out. For your safety, on leaving the site turn left at junction with A303; in 1 mile at the dual carriageway turn left at signpost Marsh; continue under bridge and turn right to rejoin A303 (E).
