  • 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.

Tamsin B.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely peaceful night after a delicious dinner. Very friendly hosts allowed us to park on the gravel rather than the grass as it had been so wet. Very clean facilities and a good system for paying a deposit for the key.

Disliked A plug socket for a hairdryer in the bathroom would be useful.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked A lovely little stop over in the grounds of an even lovelier pub the cross keys inn.
Has all you need for a stay fresh water waste disposal and electric hook up.
Staff friendly and welcoming.
Pitches well marked out and level even on grass good pitch and we visited in the coldest snap January 2026.
Take time to eat and have a few drinks in the pub the food is really tasty, I had fish chips peas which were delicious and my partner had duck then on Sunday we tucked into a lovely roast dinner. Everyone was friendly staff and locals. We will visit again next time we are in the area.

Disliked Our only gripe and it's tiny more us than the site, electricity was off at 10:30, I understand as leaving is 11am so it focus people to get a move on but it would have been helpful if we had been made aware before hand. No wifi in grounds that we where not aware of but definitely wifi in the pub.

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.
