What customers say
This cozy, clean, and peaceful campsite boasts friendly, helpful owners. Guests rave about the tidy grounds, spotless facilities (showers/restrooms), and tranquil vibe. It's a prime spot for exploring Cheddar Gorge. Minor drawbacks: infrequent hot water for dishwashing and occasional facility lines when crowded.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Fantastic site - small, generally quiet with clean facilities. Loved!
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Campsite was quiet for most of the week, everyone settled down around 10 which allowed the kids to sleep. Marie & co were very friendly & supportive - especially when we left our tent pegs in London! Horses were well cared for & our little girl Loved being able to say hi to them every morning. Facilities were always clean, site was regularly checked & toilet roll stocked up etc. showers & toilets were decent & made the week comfortable. If there were any issues we knew we’d get support from Marie straight away - a very lovely hostess!
Disliked Nothing to put here. Well absolutely stay again & highly recommend the site to friends and family!

Wouldn't stay if you have kids or dogs, or you like space
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Neat and tidy with nice horses
Disliked Small is an understatement. Only room for 6 tents and no space for dogs or children to be able to do anything.

Would not recommend unless looking for something basic for sleep
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Showers and toilets were clean, with hooks and shelving.
Disliked We were confused upon arrival to the site as it didn't look much like the photos when booking – it wasn't what we expected. It was cramped and the camping field was in actuality very small, much smaller than the photos suggest. No clear markings to demarcate pitches.
It seems there are electric hook up pitches, but they are never available for booking as they appear to be occupied by long term caravans/motorhomes, which changes the atmosphere of the site.
Wouldn't recommend especially to families – there was loud music with swear words playing till the evening, and thumping music elsewhere in the site playing past 10:30pm/11pm. In fact we saw 2 families arrive at the site & try to pitch up before leaving and not return.

From the manager: Hi I am so sorry you feel this way I normally greet every person that arrives on site but I have had a family issue this weekend and have kind of neglect my campers I do apologise. I wish you would of brought any complaints to my attention about music and swearing as I can’t deal with if I don’t no about them and would not of tolerated this on site. I don’t have any permanent people on site but I do have a couple of caravans that are mine that I rent out to holiday makers. I very rarely get bad reviews they are normally all positive feed back and we pride our selfs on a friendly peaceful stay. I’m sorry this wasn’t the case on your stay. I hope in the future you will give us another try and your experience will be better. Sorry again Marie

Lovely and peaceful off grid holiday
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Peace and quiet
Plenty of space
Great central location for the places we wanted to visit
Really good price
Clean toilets
Disliked No hot water in sinks (in toilets or for washing up)
Chemical toilet disposal area was fully open, and right next to washing up area - smelt disgusting and very unhygienic!
When the site was busy, over the Bank Holiday weekend, an extra toilet and shower would have been helpful, as we spent quite some time queuing.

Bell tent
Liked The location was great for our stay. The site was really clean. The owners were absolutely lovely. I loved the fact there was a communal fridge freezer so didn't have to worry about the fact there was no electric in the bell tent.
Disliked The bell tent was falling apart a bit, the decking underneath wasn't level so made for a very uncomfortable night for the person sleeping on the floor and the fairy lights outside the tent were not working.

Liked Great site nice and flat with decent facilities. Awesome for a few nights away and not far from cheddar gorge
Disliked Found a few land mines laying around (dog poop) not the site owners fault but the fault of the dog owners.
