Lowtrow Cross Caravan Site

Adults Only 4 Star Caravan and Camping Site

Welcome to Lowtrow Cross, a small, friendly adults only caravan and camping site located in 4 acres of unspoilt countryside on the Somerset and Devon borders and on the edge of Exmoor National Park. Nestling in the Brendon Hills, Lowtrow Cross is 1mile north of Upton village on the B3190 situated between Wimbleball Lake and Clatworthy Reservoir.

 

A warm welcome awaits you at Lowtrow Cross. Our caravan and camping park is a small, quiet, adults only site, catering for caravans, motor homes, trailer tents and tents for adults over 16 .This site is set in a secluded area well away from the Inn, with lovely views of the surrounding countryside.
We pride ourselves in our personal, friendly service and the cleanliness of the site. Our aim is to keep everything as natural as possible while still offering the essential facilities that will ensure your visit with us is a pleasurable one.

There is no games room or entertainment here, we are however, only too happy to show you the numerous walks and attractions on our doorstep, so you too can share and appreciate our lovely county.

There are many species of birds nesting and feeding on site and the Buzzard, common to Exmoor, can usually be seen circling overhead.

Both caravans have a shower room with heated towel rail, toilet and hand basin, 1 double bedroom with clock/radio, 1 twin

Each caravan has its own patio area complete with table and chairs, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day and watching the sun set over the moor, while breathing in the clean Somerset air.
Guests may also use the freezer on site and make use of the comprehensive tourist information available.
