Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked Clean and simple with an extremely friendly welcome. We were lucky enough to have the place mostly to ourselves and loved the peaceful surroundings. Everything was well thought out with fire pits and tables available alongside a well stocked 'honesty' shop.
Took a lovely walk round Dundon beacon the day after our stay which had some gorgeous views of the local area.
From the manager: Really glad you enjoyed your stay at The Paddock, it was a pleasure to have you all stay here, thank you for your review,

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked This is a little gem of a campsite. Great communication from Neil even before we arrived. Very helpful and friendly.
Lovely flat, quiet and private field, with a lovely set up of clean and inviting bathrooms, washing up area, honest shop ( a absolute favourite for our son), picnic area/play area with a football table, garden games, a fire pit, or if youd prefer fire pits you can borrow. (Wood and lighters for sale in the honesty shop).
They have thought of it all 😀.
It was lovely to sit out and relax in the countryside for the weekend.
A 5 minute drive to Clarks Village, 10 minutes into Glastonbury. Just a lovely area to enjoy.
We will be returning
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, glad your family enjoyed the stay. Would be great to see you guys again when your next passing.
Thanks again,
Neil....

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked Beautiful, well maintained camp site. The owners are really accommodating and just could not do enough for you. Location wise, there is a fantastic pub 5mins walk with fantastic food and a carvery on a Sunday.
The owners told us they had only been running the site for about two years, to be honest, if they had said 10 years I would have believed it. Its just the little touches like the dog stick library, the honesty fridge and freezer selling ice creams and bags of ice. Just take what you like and put the money in the tin, brilliant!!
From the manager: What a great review, and very much appreciated. Really glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at The Paddock campsite, it was a pleasure to have you stay here. Yes its only our second year, and we try to provide everything we think people staying will need, lovely feed back thank you again.
