Touring pitches next to a family pub in Lydford-on-Fosse, Somerset
A 25-minute drive to Glastonbury, half an hour to Wookey Hole Caves
Pub serves lunch and dinner and hosts live-music events

After a touring site right next to a family-friendly pub in Somerset? Look no further than the friendly and quiet The Cross Keys Inn, which makes a handy base for visiting Glastonbury (25 minutes’ drive) if you’re needing a base for the famous music festival. The pub is in the Somerset village of Lydford-on-Fosse, between Yeovil (20 minutes) and Glastonbury. It has two bars, an open fire and a wifi connection, and serves lunches and dinners (please call to book in advance) as well as real Somerset ales and ciders. Live-music events are occasionally hosted in the function room, which opens out onto the beer garden. The pitches are a short distance from the pub, so although there may be more noise than usual during live events, staff are more than happy to allocate a quieter pitch for you on request. Facilities on the camping field include drinking water, a chemical disposal point, a recycling area, loos and showers. When you’re off to explore the many highlights of Somerset and the south-west, the main A303 is a handy three-minute drive away.

What customers say

This adults-only campsite, located behind a popular pub, receives consistently high praise for its friendly staff, excellent food and drink, and well-maintained, clean facilities. Pitches are generally described as spacious, level, and well-kept. Some minor points raised include occasional traffic noise, dated shower blocks, and the deposit system for the facility key. The pub's atmosphere and quality food are a significant highlight for most visitors.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Very friendly and welcoming staff, spacious pitches, well kept toilets and showers. Superb food on site at the pub and in a very good location next to a petrol station and 24hr shop. Car park gets locked at night which makes it feel extra secure and safe. Car camping for 2 nights and it was great albeit a little windy but unfortunately they can't control the weather! :D

Liked A friendly welcome and a well maintained site. A quiet pitch - some road noise not intrusive and trains stopped overnight. Clean facilities with plenty of hot water. An ideal stopover for the West country.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked staff were lovely and we liked the pub. Nice area too and very easy in a 7m motorhome.

Disliked Food was really disappointing in the pub, but they did have a large party in the function room. We will try again and hope it's better. Prices were ok though. Basic showers.

Would return for the campsite and maybe a beer.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Good pitch, no problems at all. Didnt need ramps as quite level.

Quiet peaceful location.

Friendly staff, facilities okay, with lots of hot water for a shower.

Pub looked lovely with a nice outdoor seating area.

Disliked Grey water drain is close to a fence. Had to pull our van in quite near so the drain could reach.

Large event on over the weekend (it's usually very busy staff informed us). Meal was not the as good as we hoped, we put this down to the kitchen being busy on the night we were there.

Local attractions

As well as being handy for Glastonbury (25 minutes’ drive), the site is close to the teeny city of Wells and the dramatic limestone formations at Wookey Hole Caves (both half an hour). Ilchester’s Fleet Air Arm Museum (15 minutes) has a huge collection of military and civilian craft, while there are hundreds of cars and motorbikes on display at the Haynes International Motor Museum (10 minutes) as well as lots of activities for kids. Further afield, Bath (55 minutes) is a handsome Georgian city with plenty to keep visitors busy for the day. It’s home to the spectacular Roman Baths complex, an abbey with jewel-coloured stained-glass windows and a rare treat at Thermae Bath Spa, with city views from its rooftop pool. The Royal Bath and West Showground (15 minutes) has a year-around schedule of events from flea markets to the famed Royal Bath and West Show. Held in late May or early June, this three-day jamboree celebrates the best of British farming and Somerset produce at pop-up food and drink stalls, as well as staging show-jumping competitions and Shire horse parades.
