  • Award-winning, peaceful and adults-only park
  • Overlooking the Mendip Hills; River Yeo flowing through the grounds
  • A short stroll to Cheddar village and Cheddar Gorge
How is Cheddar Bridge Touring Park gorge-ous? Let its flow of former guests count the wheys: it’s scenic, award-winning and overlooks the Mendip Hills; it’s a former Cheddar in Bloom winner for its viewsome flowers, and it has the River Yeo flowing through it – just look at those pics. If you’re a peace-loving peep, you might also brie chuffed to know that Cheddar Bridge is firmly for ages 18 and over, so no footballs should bang against your holiday home wall at six in the morning (unless your other half really can’t help it…). Once you’re nice and rested, it’s a short stroll from the site to comely Cheddar village, simply striking Cheddar Gorge and the Mendips, the limestone hills that are part of a Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Norman Ancient Monument and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Joanne B.

Unpowered grass campervan site (small)

Liked Really quiet site. Clean facilities and great location.

Disliked The site was really full and we were at the bottom of the camping field by the fence. They have some privacy netting but not all the way along. It would have been more private if it could have been.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked I love this site. Very clean and tidy. Adult only, so very quiet.(We were there at the height of the school holidays. Facilities are clean, and there is plenty of hot water. A lovely river runs through the site. It's a 10-minute traffic-free walk into town with shops and pubs. Plenty of off-leash dog walks. Pitches are large.

Disliked Nothing really

Unpowered grass tent site (large)

Liked Lovely site with everything you need for your trip. Clean toilet/shower block and also toilets near to tent field. Washing up hut with microwave and kettle plus fridge/freezer which was good for our ice packs.

Disliked People using the tent field as a dog toilet - over the weekend we saw this happening 4 times. On one occasion we witnessed a dog being allowed to pee against someone's windbreak! Things to be mindful of (not in the control of the site themselves) cars racing through the gorge on the Friday night. There is a walkway on one side of the tent field, if you pitch near there be aware that people walk up and down it from early in the morning to late at night and don't talk quietly. We were woken at 0700hrs on Sunday with 2 ladies litter picking which is great but they were in between the trees literally where I was sleeping and talking like it was the middle of the day which woke both myself and my partner up.

Unpowered grass campervan site (small)

Liked If you are looking for fantastic location, peace and relaxation this is the place for you! 5 minute walk to Sainsbury’s and a pub with lovely beer garden and wine, about 15 minutes to the gorge. Very friendly staff and the gorgeous Tazzy the dog! Excellent facilities very clean. We stayed in the field (no electric) the free WiFi did not quite reach where we were at the far end but had full sun all day and night. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!! Thank you 🤩

Disliked There was nothing we disliked. Thank you!!

Local attractions

Cheddar Gorge and Caves first, of course: you could spend days in one spot just gaping at the gorge, but there’s also climbing and caving to be had, wandering around the heart-stopping stalactite caves (do stand and gawp here too), and puffing up Jacobs Ladder and to the Lookout Tower – it’s only about 300 steps to the tower top… Cheddar Bridge Touring Park is roughly halfway between the seaside at Weston-super-Mare and the tiny city of Wells for at least a couple of days’ worth of trips, with Bristol and Glastonbury also within a reasonable drive. Dive into Bath, also nearby, for Roman remains, spas and Jane Austen; the literature, arts and children’s literature festivals are well worth a look too if you’re in town at the right time. Hikers and twitchers have the Mendip Hills and the Somerset Levels to keep them occupied, with the Mendips also well known as a climbing and caving centre. Look out for peregrine falcons and marsh harriers in both areas; to find out more about snipes and other feathery sorts around these parts, the RSPB has a reserve at West Sedgemoor. Savvy shopper sort? Congratulations: Wells has a market every Saturday and Wednesday, and the biggest car boot market in the south-west is on every Sunday at Winchester Farm, only a quarter of a mile from Cheddar Bridge Touring Park: bring an extra suitcase for your goodies.
