Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Everything - the owners are very kind and caring people and made me and everyone feel very welcome. I chatted on several occasions with the owners when they walked around the site to ensure everything was well. This was nice as I was travelling solo.
The toilets, showers and washing up area are kept spotless and checked very regularly.
The showers were nice and warm with very good pressure.
The camping field is flat with the pitches each marked out and the grass is well kept and cut.
There is the option to use a fire pit raised off the floor and BBQ are allowed too.
In the centre of the field there is also picnic benches for all to use too.
I felt the cost of my stay was really reasonable and so was the small cost to have electric hook up. (I would recommend taking an extension though).
I would highly recommend this site and will certainly be returning (hopefully later this season)
Disliked: There was nothing to dislike other than having to pack up and leave to drive back home

From the manager: Thank you for your great review, glad you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to hopefully seeing you again when your next travelling this way.
Thanks again,
Neil & Mandy

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: What a hidden gem! Small but so lovely! Lovely flat pitches (unusual in my experience when pitching a tent, despite extortionate prices paid!) very reasonably priced, dogs are welcome and secure field plus lots of lovely walking for your furry friends!! Toilets/showers were cleaned so regularly and the owners were so friendly, stopping for chats and always on hand if you need anything! Little touches like sticks for the dogs, poo bags if needed, snacks and treats, fresh eggs etc with honesty box for payment. Fire pits and wood available if needed, free of charge! I know sounds too good to be true but honestly it’s real! Plenty to do with Glastonbury, Wells, Wookey hole and lots of other attractions close by, what’s not to love?! There was an areas with picnic tables and games etc in the centre, would be perfect for a group camping to use as a communal area too, with info about places to eat etc. We have had such a lovely weekend, even the weather wasn’t as bad as predicted and we will definitely go back ☺️

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: On arrival we had a warm, friendly welcome and directions to our generous sized pitch.
This campsite is a hidden gem and excellent for camping with carefully thought out added luxuries. The toilet/shower block is immaculate and regularly checked, a super washing up area is close by which has chilled drinks for sale via an honesty box (so take cash, as you will want to purchase something!)... icecreams and homemade apple crumbles (which are so delicious we wanted to purchase more to take home with us).
Neil is on hand should you have any problems and strives to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves.
The village pub is a short, easy walk away with a good menu at very reasonable prices.
In the evening a huge firebowl next to picnic benches is lit and provides a wonderfully magical area which we chatted with other campers and unwound before retreating to bed.
A peaceful night's sleep under the stars was had.
There are lots of footpaths and little lanes straight off from the campsite which was ideal for walking or dogs.
Thank you Neil, Mandy and Pepper, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and meeting you, you have created a lovely campsite which you should be very proud of.
