Od správce: Thanks for a great review and your lovely photos. We hope to welcome you back for our Mendip Mini Fests this summer!

Líbí se Facilities good, large, well stocked camp shop open until 9pm. This is a large campsite but plenty of facilities, kept clean even on a very busy weekend. There are loads of activities, we didn’t try any of them, we were just looking for a campsite at short notice and there was space. Live music was pleasant and not overly loud. Ice cream, breakfast rolls, lunch and dinner options all available (again we didn’t use them). This is not our usual style of campsite but we had a good weekend and we’re glad we went. The other campers we met were nice and our kids made friends.

Nelíbí se 15 minute queue to check in and shower pressure was unusable when I tried at peak time, but it was a bank holiday weekend with great weather, forecast well in advance so perhaps not surprising.

Líbí se Really big camp. Lots of nice walks and clean and friendly. Campers were respectful most of time. Food was good delicious hot pizza all freshly cooked. Indoor area was good.

Nelíbí se Ball games played directly at my tent. Several times when I was cooking outside ball hit towards me. Hit my car and tent etc. Ground was extremely dry and hard wasn't prepared for this. Showers were slippery no dry space to get changed. Could have done with a park maybe. Ants were a bit of a problem.

We're glad you enjoyed the local area, loved the food, and found the facilities clean.

We're sorry to hear that some aspects of your stay were not up to scratch. We'll be taking this feedback on board as we improve the campsite in future years.

Líbí se Very family friendly, great sandpit for kids, lovely woodland walk where you can watch the sun set from. We liked that there wasn't much (or maybe any) campsite lighting at night as it meant you could clearly see the stars! Great to be able to hire fire pits too.

Nelíbí se Cafe seating area was really dirty - the floor, seat cushions, and tables. We always like to have a drink in campsite cafes and sit and play card games but unfortunately did not enjoy this here with it being so dirty, and it put me off an otherwise lovely site.

Minor point but need more sinks by the toilets in area 3. Also would be good if the site tells you in advance that the ground is rocky in places so you'll need to bring a heavy mallet and strong tent pegs - not the usual types.

We’re disappointed that the café area let things down. Your comments are really helpful - we’ll make sure they’re passed on. The tips about facilities and pitching are appreciated too, as they help us keep improving the experience for future campers.

Líbí se Stayed just the one peaceful chilled night. Quiet, friendly campsite. Lots of activities a short walk through the forest. Whilst there was a bar at the activity centre it wasnt open in the evening.

Líbí se The site itself is really nice, good views and the festival feel adds to the experience.
Being able to hire a fireplace was good and the Saturday night music was a bonus.
Liked the fact you could pitch where you wanted instead of marked pitches.
Very dog friendly and friendly staff.

Nelíbí se Being honest with my review I appreciate that I stayed on a bank holiday weekend however I feel that needs to be taken into account with regards to staffing levels.

It took 20 mins stood in a queue just to be checked in. No specific queue for this so at one point there were 3 lines of people waiting with food, drinks ect and others checking in with one person trying to man this whilst one other served ice cream.
The following day I went to purchase something from the shop saw the queue and decided based on the day before not to bother waiting as again it was being manned by one person who was also doing ice creams. The staff were very friendly though and were doing their best in the circumstances.
There are not really enough toilets and there we always queues for these and they are quite far from the camping areas unless you pitch closer to them, which we didn't have as an option
There was also lots of small bits of rubbish left in the grass where we had to pitch up before we put our tent up and not much options for pitching as the site was very full.

I would go again but never on a bank holiday.

Líbí se I was amazed by what a fabulous site it was when I 1st drive in. The young lady on reception was very impressive & couldn't do enough to help. I had a brilliant night sleep & I'll definitely come back again as I can't stop telling family/friend's how fantastic your site is.

Nelíbí se No dislikes, I loved my one night stay.
