  • 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.

Adults-only spot behind The Cross Keys Inn. Quiet, level pitches, clean facilities. Praised for great pub food & friendly vibe. Occasional road noise, some dated facilities, £20 key deposit. Handy for exploring.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Very popular on a Saturday in September, very quiet on the Sunday. Dedicated reception in a static caravan between 2 and 6pm, friendly fella manning it and taking our details. He asked if we wanted to use the camp toilets and showers (which were very clean and somewhat modernised) so he gave us a fob and £20 deposit taken along with our balance before we went to our pitch. We could get our £20 back only at the pub which opened at 12 noon but we had to be off our pitch by 11am. So we had to hand the fob in Sunday evening. Showers however were good and very clean but the cubicle was cramped and I'm not that big (9 and a half stone). 2 showers and 2 toilets in the ladies. They were clean every time I went in. Our grass electric pitch no 5 was superb, seemed spacious. Recyling bins in a fenced area next to toilets and showers building. Fresh water tap separate from toilet waste area with the bins. In a field of 28 pitches. Partly gravelled which kept the field dry and clear of mud.

Disliked No gate or barrier, not locked as motorhome next to us arrived just after 10pm when we were in bed. Not able to use the showers and toilets late Sunday night and Monday morning as we had to give fob back to get deposit refunded in the pub which didn't open again until 12 noon, and we had to be off the pitch by 11am. Noisy children squeeling in their garden next door bouncing on a trampoline.

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.
