What customers say
Highly recommended, well-kept, super clean site with welcoming owners. Praised for level spots, great facilities (hot showers, Wi-Fi), and peace. Ideal for exploring, with a pub nearby. Some noted potential busyness, limited restrooms, and grey water disposal needs. A few noted customer service/privacy concerns, but most loved the site.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches
Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked Friendly and accessible site owners
Very Level compact site
Well kept Grass surface
Clean toilet and shower cabins
Excellent free WiFi
I had a great time ! as the whole site to myself :)
Disliked Not really dislikes ! but should be 'aware':-
Its an open field for motorhomes and tents all in one, so no pitch boundaries
Not the sites fault, but there neighbours appear to have some sort of Goose farm ?.... the dawn call does go on a bit !
Toilet and service cabins are nice and clean, just wonder if two units are enough if the site was full ?
All being said I will be back !

From the manager: Thank you for your great review, nice to hear you will be looking to come back again. Just so you are aware, we do have small white flags as markers to separate each pitch, but you were very fortunate to have the site to yourself, so maybe having the whole site to yourself they went unnoticed. The early sounds you possibly heard are Guinea foul, that are a couple of fields away, as we are located in the countryside, wild life sounds are quite common and part of our natural surroundings. We are in the process of adding additional toilets for when we are busier, but thank you for your thoughts. Thank you so much for your review, and we look forward so having you stay again soon.
Thanks,

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.

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
