  • Small and friendly adults-only site near Cheddar Gorge in Somerset
  • A 10-minute drive to Wookey Hole Caves; 45 minutes to Bath
  • On a bus route to Cheddar and Wells; pubs and shops 10 minutes’ drive
If tiny sites and a peaceful kid-free vibe are the things that have you stoked on holiday, you'll like The Rodney Stoke Caravan and Camping Park, a small, flower-filled and friendly site with Mendip Hills views and near Cheddar in Somerset. On site, pitches are lined by neat hedgerows to up your privacy stakes and there’s room to park your cars too. A handy, contemporary bathroom block is out by the pitches too, with toilets and showers. For cooking up a feast on site, barbecues and self-contained firepits are permitted, and you can stock up on goodies for the grill at the basics store in Draycott village (five minutes’ drive). The site is not far from Cheddar and the ancient city of Wells; if you fancy having a pint in a pub at either place, leave your car at base camp and take the bus running to both that leaves from the stop nearby. The Rodney Stoke site welcomes dogs as long as they're well-behaved, but no humans under 16, please.

Liked What a great site right next to a pub.
The site was so clean. I have never seen the toilet block so clean.
Jeff who runs the site could not do enough for you.
The food in the pub was first class and worth the money.
Will be going back.

Liked Very clean and friendly, a lovely designed site with many different aspects such as a garden area to relax in and lots of nice touches such as a dog washing area and a lovely utility room and being situated at the bottom of a pub car park there was ample opportunity to eat from breakfast to evening meals or drink if you didn't fancy cooking.
It's also a very peaceful site to relax.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Fabulously clean facilities with friendly staff. Pitches were spacious and site was reasonably quiet. Easy to get to Cheddar Gorge, 20min by bike on quiet lanes. Adjoining pub offers decent food and drink, making it an easy cop out for dining.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The site is lovely and Geff was always on hand and very helpful. The facilities were very clean.
The site info is incorrect as there is no longer a requirement to pay for showers which is good.

Disliked The facilities is the one thing that unfortunately let's this site down. There are only 2 toilets and 2 showers each for men and women. Plus a disabled toilet. It's a push button type and the temperature is not great, luke warm at best. The water also doesn't drain away quickly, so you are standing in a pool of dirty water.
The temperature in the washing up area was the same. It's not hot enough to wash up.

Route directions

The site is at the bottom of the car park for the Rodney Stoke Inn. Customers with caravans and motorhomes are advised not to let a satnav direct you down New Road (which leads from the gliding club to the bottom of Draycott village), as this road is dangerous for large vehicles and towed units and it is likely to cause damage to your vehicle. Instead it is better to approach on the main road from either Axbridge or Wells.

Local attractions

Smashing Cheddar (10 minutes’ drive) offers up its gorge for climbing and caves for exploring as well as cheese- and cider-tasting opportunities. Wookey Hole Caves (both 10 minutes) have more subterranean caverns and a dinosaur-themed walk. If you’d rather pursue a more sedate pastime, golfing is close by at the Isle of Wedmore (15 minutes) and Mendip Springs (25 minutes) golf clubs, or you can try crazy golf at Cheddar too. The seaside town of Weston-super-Mare (35 minutes) makes a popular day trip for a romp through local history at the Weston Museum, a poke around the Helicopter Museum and a stroll down the Grand Pier, or you can board a paddle steamer for a cruise along the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel. Fans of city-based doings can easily get to the buzzy quayside restaurants and indie shopping scene of Bristol (50 minutes) – while heritage devotees should head for Bath (45 minutes) for its renowned Thermae Bath Spa, remains of Roman baths, the Jane Austen Centre and year-round festivals.
