  • 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.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Small, very quiet (adults only) campsite in a perfect location for exploring cheddar. Immaculately clean showers & toilets.

Disliked: The on-site pub is currently closed, which was open at the time of booking but has since closed. It would have been nice to receive a notification of the closure. However the pub is currently undergoing renovations & apparently is due to reopen in the near future.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked: The camp site is small and adult only, perfect for me. Tom was great and explained everything I needed to know. Ablutions are clean and upgraded to a high spec. Other facilities clean and access to washing machines and a fridge.

Disliked: Perhaps a second sink for utilities as I am sure if the camp site full- you would have to wait.

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.
