What customers say
This big, tidy campsite has a chilled vibe. Top facilities (spotless loos/showers!), easy walk to Cheddar village. Staff are ace, pitches are huge. Food trucks and a bar too. Can get busy though, especially weekends – a bit noisy, some queues. They're keen on recycling and welcome dogs.

Unpowered grass site
Liked Big site with everything you will ever need while camping. Staff were brilliant all day and night. Charging points as we had non electric pitch were very handy. Great location too as Cheddar village is a 20min walk away.

Unpowered grass site
Liked Die Lage des Campingplatzes war wundervoll und idyllisch. Die Mitarbeiter*innen waren super freundlich! Trotz viel Betrieb am Wochenende war die Stimmung super entspannt und der Aufenthalt war sehr ruhig und angenehm. Wir haben den Campingplatz in der gleichen Woche erneut hier gebucht.
Disliked Bei den Sanitäranlagen gab es hin und wieder technische defekte (Defekter Ablauf im Waschbecken, Seifenspender oder Handtrockner kaputt). Darüber war es auch nur bedingt. Allerdings ist das bei so einem großen Campingplatz ab Mitte des Abends kaum verwunderlich.

Incredible place, what a quirky gem.
Unpowered grass site
Liked What a beautiful campsite!! The views are gorgeous, the owners (Jules and his daughter) are just delightful and they really put in the effort to make you feel welcome and to ensure you have everything you need :). The toilets and showers were clean, fields nice and flat. Everyone is spaced out nicely. There is a bar (old double decker bus converted) which was so well priced, food vans, music (brilliant), plenty for the kids to play on including a tractor and old land rover. The owner Jules told me the story of how he started the campsite and got emotional telling me so you can tell how much they care about their site and your stay. Wonderful place will definately be back, so thank you for having us. Also not far at all from Cheddar Gorge and any amenities. Dog and family friendly. Lovely stream not far from the site for the dogs either.
