Nice short break

We stayed at this site over the late May bank holiday weekend. We arrived a little late due to traffic on the M5 and had only choice of 2 pitches. The grass pitches in the middle are somewhat difficult to get onto if, like us, you don't have a motor mover. Once pitched up we had a little walk down to the beach with our kids and dogs. It is down a road and then a path through the dunes, the road can be busy at times but it isn't very long. As other reviews have said the shower block is looking a bit shabby and is need of updating but is kept clean by the wardens. Speaking of the wardens, they are very friendly and helpful and my son enjoyed the Tourer Explorer pack and treasure hunt (he's 10 years old). The only downside is that there are no aerial boosters on the power point hook ups but the tv signal seemed good enough for our aerial to pick up so it wasn't a problem. The site is surrounded by other holiday camps but the noise didn't seem to travel to where we were pitched in the middle of the site. All in all a nice site but a dog walk would be a lovely addition in the future if possible.

May Day long weekend

We stayed here for a long weekend over MayDay - it's our second visit to this site. If you are familiar with the area then you know what to expect. The area ticks all the boxes for family's with young children to keep them occupied. It's approx 15 mins walk to the beach if you are fit and able to walk through the dunes. I think the wardens have changed from last year and we found them helpful and seemed to be hard working - the site was kept very well maintained by them. The only critism we have is that the smaller of the two shower blocks is getting a little dated now and could perhaps do with an update. Although it is kept very clean by the site staff. God willing we may go back this time next year.

pleasant enough site.

Stayed from 6th April to the 25th April. Wardens seemed friendly enough. Toilet/showers and washing up facilities always appeared clean (despite it being full of kids off for Easter). Didn't try any of the attractions of Brean (if it has any). Confined myself to strolls with the dog along the nearby Burrow Sands reserve and along the footpath near the golf course. It is a site probably more suited to families with small children. I was initially apprehensive of staying there over the school holiday period. However, the children on site were well enough behaved and even very polite. Having had the misfortune to stroll through a couple of other nearby caravan sites, I would say that if a seaside holiday floats your boat, then we are fortunate to have Hurn Lane.

Worth a visit

After reading some of the reviews it was with some trepidation that we arrived at Hurn Lane, however, we received a warm welcome, newspapers are to order and the basics available and herbs growing in pots outside for all to use. Admittedly the site was quiet, but we had no problems with the shower block and there was plenty of hot water. Walk to the beach was good for the dogs. Agree though about the lane, which was hazardous at times when walking the dogs. Good bus service to either Burnham or Weston and dogs go free. In Burnham - for those with dogs, the Bay View Cafe allowed them in as did the Waterfront Cafe Bar (just does rolls but we had a cup of tea there as it was getting cooler) and there is a covered area on the pier if you buy food there. The Victoria and the Somerset and Dorset pubs also allow dogs in but we did not go in). Would recommend the fishmongers along the main street. If you do go to Weston it initially seemed there were only a few dog friendly places and three of them are by the Marine Lake which is worth walking to and walking across the causeway. We went on the terrace at the Terrace Cafe Bar and next door there is the C (cannot remember the name) Vaults which I believe takes dogs too and the other side of the lake there is Dr Fox's, though we did not sample either. Walking back we passed a cafe - opposite the Tourist Info - that allowed dogs in. We had a cup of tea outside one of the beach cafes and they were very welcoming with fresh water for the dogs but I cannot recall if they would have been allowed inside.

Awalk on the beach

Greeted on arrival by happy wardens given advice on good areas for wifi and phone signal, all facilities clean warm. Great walk with the dog from the site to the beach where you have seven miles of sand to walk on, plenty of things to do out and about in the surrounding areas. I will be back to this site in the near future.

easter stay

Our first holiday on our own and in caravan. Had a error on arrival but once managers realised we weren't experience helped us. We had 4 large mutts so we went into a quite corner boggie but it had rained. The showers and toilets have seen worse, but as the manager are new they are working to get site facilities better. The only thing I would say is if possible a field to take dogs in as the lane outside the site is extremely busy. We will come back but not where boggy maybe a hard standing.. it was like waggons ho on Friday never seen so many vans and motothomes. But so glad I wasn't on the surrounding sites. Burnham on sea was overflowing

Crufts camp site!

Good points: Lovely friendly wardens, clean tidy site, didn't use the showers so cant comment on that as others have. Bad points: Cars and especially motor homes speeding on the site! come on drivers what part of 5mph do you have problems with, especially when children are around. And the place is overrun with dogs, I don't mind dogs, but not in that quantity!

Brief stay over Easter

Arrived Good Friday. Really busy. Had booked well in advance., Large heavy Motorhome but as normal cannot book a hard standing. Yet hard standings often occupied by small Caravans. Seems to me that it would make sense to have some reserved for Motorhomes. Could avoid potential problems. That would have to be a Club decision. Arrived just after midday and no hard standings available. Potential problem proved to be the case when trying to leave despite no rain. Wardens a great help in getting us off the pitch. Thanks again to them. Facilities on site a little lacking with the size and occupancy level of the site over Easter, especially as two thirds of the showers in the second block were out of action. These things happen, although would not have been such a problem if the facilities had been a little larger to accommodate the numbers visiting.

Good but going down the pan

We have been coming to Hurn Lane at Easter for many years now and have always had a great time but unfortunately over the last few years the condition of the toilets has been going down the pan. It appears that on peak days the loo's can't handle the load and block up on a regular basis so come on Caravan Club give them a refurbishment!

Hurn Lane

We stayed at Hurn Lane over the Easter weekend and I was really looking forward to it after reading some of the reviews. It had been wet leading upto the weekend and we ended up on a grass pitch which was very soft and not really suitable for motorhomes. There are 2 toilet blocks on site, the one nearer the reception area are much nicer than the second block which was more dated and was down to 1 shower cubicle by Saturday morning. There is a small theme park near the camp site which was pretty loud on the Friday night but was much quieter for the remainder of the weekend. All in all, I wouldn't visit again especially at the nightly rate. Maybe we've just been spoilt at other club site. It seemed like there was a lack of information about the site given upon arrival but it was a busy weekend I guess. The site is well located for the beach and has good bus links just a short walk from the site.
