Liked: Location is good, we walked to the gorge in around 30 min Staff were friendly and helpful
Disliked: The field has poor drainage, after raining it becomes a mud bath. This must be fairly common as there are signs about what to do in the event of flooding and a waiting point to be towed through the mud

Liked: Staff were extremely friendly and helpful Toilet and shower block very high standard Good amount of facilities without feeling like you're not camping

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: Large site with plenty of space. Clean loos and showers. Site staff really helpful and pleasant. 15 min very easy stroll into Cheddar.
Disliked: On site shop prices marked up quite a bit and wood also not cheap but get they have the monopoly so can charge as they see fit.
