What customers say

This campsite is highly praised for its excellent, spacious, and clean facilities, particularly the hot showers and toilets. Staff are consistently described as friendly, helpful, and welcoming, contributing to a relaxed atmosphere. The location is a significant plus, with easy walking distance to Cheddar village and gorge. Options for different fields cater to various needs, and the availability of fire pits and on-site food vendors are popular additions. While some visitors mentioned mud during wet weather and occasional noise, overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Liked Friendly staff ,tidy and clean site, nice views ,

Disliked Asked for a quiet pitch but was still quite loud at 2am ,so didn't sleep the best ,think we're just used to more quiet sites .it was really busy tho ,dont agree that you have to buy there logs and can't take your own .works out expensive that way .
Still enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Excellent facilities in a great location with plenty to do.

Disliked Due to the campsite being so large, there’s a lot of noise throughout the night. Being assigned a pitch dependent on group size, meant we were in the middle of the field alongside the main path.

Route directions

Use postcode BS27 3XW for your satnav but please stop following it and start following the directions below when you are a couple of miles away - that way you'll not end up on an unmade road or on the site drive. If you are approaching Cheddar from the west, and you are towing a caravan or driving a large motorhome, then please exit the M5 motorway at junction 22, not 21. Travel along the A371 through the centre of Cheddar village. You will pass Tesco on your right and the Bath Arms on your left. Continue on this road passing St Andrew's Church followed by Cheddar Football Club on your right. After a further 250 yards, take a right turn off the A371 into Labourham Way. Take an immediate left, slow to walking pace and you’ll see our large sign in front of you – simply take a sharp left through the gateway and follow the track into the carpark. If you are approaching Cheddar from the east, and you are towing a caravan or driving a large motorhome on the B3135, please do not turn left signposted Gliding Club, but continue down the Gorge. Travel along the A371 through Draycott. You will pass the Cheddar Garden Centre and the Kart track followed by a nasty S bend. On exiting the bend, take an immediate left off the A371 at the "Welcome to Cheddar" sign into Labourham Way then another immediate left, slow to walking pace and you’ll see our large sign in front of you – simply take a sharp left through the gateway and follow the track into the carpark. Public transport: The bus stop is just a 10 minute walk away and will take to you either Weston Super Mare or Yatton train stations within an hour.

Local attractions

There’s loads within walking distance of the campsite to keep you entertained. Fancy sampling local produce? Cheddar Ales Brewery, Tap Room and Shop (five minutes’ walk) has a range of award-wining ales. Walk a bit further on a Sunday morning and you’ll come to Cheddar Car Boot and Market (10 minutes), with a lakeside setting and lots of bric-à-brac to browse. Cheddar itself is a 10-minute meander along the Strawberry Line footpath, crossing the Cheddar Yeo river into the village, where there’s a posh pub (all the more reason to leave the car behind), a butcher, baker and supermarkets. A few more minutes’ stroll gets you to Kings Fitness and Leisure with a pool (handy for rainy days), Ocean Adventures Soft Play and sailing on the reservoir. Cheddar Gorge and Caves is a 20-minute amble from your door and is home to restaurants, a cheese factory, a cider mill and souvenir shops, as well as caverns and tunnels running deep under the Mendip Hills. A short car journey takes you to Wookey Hole Caves (15 minutes’ drive), with spectacular subterranean caverns and family entertainment like pirate ships and dinosaur trails. Wells (20 minutes) is the smallest city in England and has a landmark cathedral and a medieval bishop’s palace in moated gardens. Within half an hour’s drive you have a choice of sandy beaches: Weston-super-Mare, Burnham-on-Sea and Berrow, and at Mendip Activity Centre (20 minutes) you can learn to ski, go twilight tobogganing or play golf-frisbee on woodland trails.
