Great staff, clean facilities, and a prime spot near Cheddar Gorge. Guests love the spacious sites, chill vibe, and food trucks. Expect minor noise or mud in rain, but most plan to return.

Excellent campsite, so close to cheddar gorge caves, very friendly
Powered grass campsite
Liked Friendly, efficient welcome, great size pitches with plenty of room, great showers and toilets (I asked to be pitched close to toilets and we were but it wasn't too close). Good bar choices, good entertainment. Easy recycling, close enough to walk into town. Easy options for takeaway to be delivered to the campsite. Support organised pre-booking info, including videos to explain things.
Disliked They ran out of food at the take away places on site and we didn't want to cook but they were very quick to give us other options.

Great campsite but packed like sardines.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Lovely staff. Great camping ground. Good food vendors. Clean site with good showers and toilets
Disliked Vans parked too close together. Within 3 metres! I couldn't even wind my shade out.
Like parking in a car park.
I left early as this was not comfortable for me. In this heat I felt it was also a fire hazard being so close.
