  • 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, and was upgraded for the 2020 season 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 Adults only, good location, handy having a gasto pub next door.

Disliked Rude site manager. Late one night his dog ran up to me and kept barking threateningly. I asked him three times to call his dog away but he refused; I think he found it funny and gave him power to see me scared. He eventually walked away swearing. I will never go there again.
The grass looked like it hadn't been mowed for weeks. Also, close to the road, you can hear the traffic.
Finally, you have to pay for showers with 20p coins.
Not a great experience.

Liked The peaceful location, the tranquil scenary and the anemities were beautifully clean and easily accessible. Tom was very helpful and the site is kept really well maintained. 10/10 for Tom and his team for giving us a lovely relaxing weekend. The pub served lovely food and resinable prices, and the local farm shop just up the road is well worth the visit. You can walk for miles and I love that the site is dog friendly and no under 18s allowed. It just gives it that little extra special feel when you haven't got young kids running around and screaming. The Cider Barn is well worth a visit.

Disliked Nothing, everything was brilliant :)

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.
