  • 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 site behind The Cross Keys Inn. Peaceful, mostly level pitches, clean but dated facilities. Excellent pub food, friendly staff, great vibe. 24hr shop nearby. Some road noise/busy loos noted.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Site nicely kept and location behind the pub is excellent for those of us who like a pint.
Food was inviting and staff were friendly and efficient.

Disliked Deposit for use of small toilet block, not needed by us as we use own facilities but would have not been happy to pay returnable deposit fir access key.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
We used to hand out keys but so many people didn't return them. We now charge a deposit, infact it costs us 50p every time we refund back onto their card.

Liked Staff make this place.
The pub is lovely with great staff and the food was fantastic. I am on a special medical diet and verry restricted as to what I can eat but the chef arranged to meet with me beforehand and created some lovely dishes for me - they went above and beyond. Quiet site with spacious pitches and clean.

Liked Very friendly reception in the pub where the landlord sorted out payment etc; before showing us to our very spacious pitch.
It's small and quiet site and very well situated for cycling around the levels and rolling countryside.
The facilities were nice and clean though limited.
Food was great and a very good selection of beers and ciders were available.

Disliked Only one urinal and one flush toilet in the mens facilities

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Quiet campsite, pub on site. Been staying here for a few years now and always like it and prices for camping are reasonable . Great location to visit clarkes village in street.

Disliked Showers need to be cleaned properly, loads of cobwebs etc. Food wasn't as good as usual. Fish batter wasn't cooked properly and still raw in places which is a shame. Portion sizes seem to have got smaller too

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Michelle
The shower block is cleaned daily and checked regularly by the staff here. We all chip in to do it together to try and keep costs down to keep pitch prices affordable, some staff can be more thorough than others. Shame to hear about the diappointment with the fish and chips. People rave about the portion size and that it is always cooked from fresh! Not sure what happened there? It's always easier to deal with issues at the time rather than a few days after the event. I hope to see you again as you say you've been returning for years, Best wishes, Tom and team...

Nice relaxing weekend

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.
