Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: I liked that there was plenty of space and it felt very rural eg. you don't get any road noise. Also liked that it was cheap! I mainly chose this site as it's the nearest to a park and ride into Bath which was a good, reliable service. The facilities were very, very basic but I knew that from other reviews. They were cleaned regularly, it's just that they obviously get muddy again quickly when it's been raining - can't be helped.
Disliked: Nothing. Just expect a basic site and you won't be disappointed. I was pleased I was in a little car as the approach roads are single track lanes. People with vans managed fine though.

Liked: The lake and car parking by your pitch
Disliked: The check out time, I think 11am is too early for a camp site. There is nothing to get ready for the next customer so it will be nice if they modify it in the future

Unpowered grass caravan site
Liked: Really friendly people running the site, very relaxed and dog friendly. Toilet and shower block. Good walks up the country lanes from the site, and about a mile from a really great pub (The Upton Inn).
Disliked: No hot water in the bathroom sink or washing up sink. Other campers were a bit noisy - didn't bother us, but some campers may not like that.

Unpowered grass caravan site
Liked: Clean facilities, friendly staff, location was good for both Bath and Bristol. Good for fishing as there is a small lake on site.
Disliked: Busy site so finding a flat pitch was a bit difficult. Campsite down some small lanes which may be difficult for touring caravans.

Liked: It’s a varied site set in nice countryside - lovely wild glamping field. Pleasant Hedgehog field for tents only. Then 2 other fields fox and badger fields. The one next to the small lake has varied choice for pitches and a natural feel. Peter who runs the site single handed is a very affable helpful man, passionate about fish, lakes and his guests getting the most out of their stay. When we realised we couldn’t stay in Hedgehog field in the camper van he showed us a great secluded spot right next to the lake . Sadly it was raining on both nights we stayed breaking our journey either end betweenLondon and Devon. A good site to break a journey from London to Wales, Cornwall or Devon. Loos were simple but clean . Didn’t try a shower.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: A lovely and quiet campsite. Flat, firm ground made finding the perfect place to pitch our tent easy. Chemical toilet disposal area was welcome as we always take our own toilet (although there are facilities onsite). Shower was always hot and toilets were clean enough for us to use without any concern. The campsites location is ideal for exploring the surrounding towns such as Bath, Bristol, Cheddar Gorge and Weston-super-Mare to name just a few of the nearby places worth going to. Despite being firmly in the country, a short drive (no more than 10 mins) will get you to local supermarkets, restaurants, takeaways, parks, cinemas, etc… The site owner seemed very friendly and welcoming.
Disliked: Toilet block very basic. It was fine for us but I’m sure that they may be a little too basic for some. Took my wife and daughter a couple of days to realise that the controls for the woman’s shower was installed backwards (other women on the site had also thought that the women’s shower had no hot water!).
