  • Touring pitches next to a family pub in Lydford-on-Fosse, Somerset
  • A 25-minute drive to Glastonbury, half an hour to Wookey Hole Caves
  • Pub serves lunch and dinner and hosts live-music events
After a touring site right next to a family-friendly pub in Somerset? Look no further than the friendly and quiet The Cross Keys Inn, which makes a handy base for visiting Glastonbury (25 minutes’ drive) if you’re needing a base for the famous music festival. The pub is in the Somerset village of Lydford-on-Fosse, between Yeovil (20 minutes) and Glastonbury. It has two bars, an open fire and a wifi connection, and serves lunches and dinners (please call to book in advance) as well as real Somerset ales and ciders. Live-music events are occasionally hosted in the function room, which opens out onto the beer garden. The pitches are a short distance from the pub, so although there may be more noise than usual during live events, staff are more than happy to allocate a quieter pitch for you on request. Facilities on the camping field include drinking water, a chemical disposal point, a recycling area, loos and showers. When you’re off to explore the many highlights of Somerset and the south-west, the main A303 is a handy three-minute drive away.

This adults-only site near a popular pub gets top marks for friendly staff, great food/drinks, and clean facilities. Pitches are spacious and level. Some mention occasional traffic noise, older showers, and the key deposit. The pub's atmosphere and food are a major plus.

Liked Excellent campsite. Pitches are mainly flat with well cut grass. Facilities are a bit dated but kept nice and clean. Staff for the campsite and pub were all friendly and helpful.
Pup serves a great selection of beers incl cask ales and the food is excellent for the price .
Also a great spot to explore.

Liked This site was brilliant. Set behind the pub. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Toilets were always clean and accessible.
The site was well set out and well maintained. There is a petrol station with a mini market in less than 5 min walk.

Disliked We had to leave to come home 😞

Liked Nice pitch size. Adults only. Basic but very clean facilities.

Disliked Had to clear dog poo off pitch before setting up. Only one loo for men and sink next to urinal...not great for cleaning teeth. Pitches could be numbered better as there was a few people on wrong pitch. No wifi. Next to a train line.

From the manager: Thank you for your reply.
We always check our pitches in the morning to make sure there is no litter/rubbish left from previous guests. This is a caravan park who loves to welcome four legged furry friends which we tell owners to keep on leads. Unfortunately there are always some guests which let their dogs roam free. On this occasion, your pitch seemed to be the target for their dispossal so I appologise. I believe you spoke to my colleague, she said she would have been more than happy to have cleaned it up for you.
In the gents shower block there is only one toilet, urinal, sink and 2 showers. We do have a further 3 toilets available next to the shower block which are continually monitored throughout the weekend I feel quite disheartenend with these extra measures put in place, we still seemed to have not met your expectations.
We have looked in to putting WIFI on the site but the amount of streaming, I'm told by BT it wouldn't be sustainable and we would have complaints due to WIFI continually dropping out.
Unfortunately the train line was here before us so can't do much about this. It is however a half kilometer away so you still can here it in the distance.

Lovely site, huge pitches. Friendly staff…

Local attractions

As well as being handy for Glastonbury (25 minutes’ drive), the site is close to the teeny city of Wells and the dramatic limestone formations at Wookey Hole Caves (both half an hour). Ilchester’s Fleet Air Arm Museum (15 minutes) has a huge collection of military and civilian craft, while there are hundreds of cars and motorbikes on display at the Haynes International Motor Museum (10 minutes) as well as lots of activities for kids. Further afield, Bath (55 minutes) is a handsome Georgian city with plenty to keep visitors busy for the day. It’s home to the spectacular Roman Baths complex, an abbey with jewel-coloured stained-glass windows and a rare treat at Thermae Bath Spa, with city views from its rooftop pool. The Royal Bath and West Showground (15 minutes) has a year-around schedule of events from flea markets to the famed Royal Bath and West Show. Held in late May or early June, this three-day jamboree celebrates the best of British farming and Somerset produce at pop-up food and drink stalls, as well as staging show-jumping competitions and Shire horse parades.
