 Our first visit to this site. What a pleasant experience from start to finish. Well placed, facilities excellent, never had a problem with toilets or showers - I was alone everyday between 0730 and 0800. Booking by email was simple as was booking in on arrival and offered choice of pitch. Only slight down were some dog owners who assume that everyone likes dogs! I shall be back again.

Reviewer: The Badgers 12 reviews from this member

 This site is fab! Great location for dog walks along the river and evenings spent in dog friendly pubs in the centre of Cheddar, which is a 10 minute walk away. There are also a couple of pubs on the way to the Centre of the village if you don't fancy walking too far and a great Indian restaurant. There is a gate to the side of the touring area onto the footpath which takes you into the village, or you can walk down the road, but some bits don't have pavement.

We arrived on site and were offered a choice of several pitches, either grass or hardstanding. The touring and tenting areas are separate, with the tenting area backing onto the footpath and the church! It is a beautiful setting though, with plenty of space if you can adjust to the bells - we didn't hear them. There is also a cabin housing a loo at the entrance to the tenting area.

The entrance to the site is a tad tight for touring newbies but we were ok! The whole site is wonderfully maintained, with hanging baskets etc. The main facilities are near to reception and were always lovely, clean and warm. There is also an information hut with a nice touch of vending machine for midnight munchies lol

 What a wonderful week away, this is one camp site I and my partner highly recommend. We had a large tent with a separate kitchen tent. Electric hook up for the fridge. Job done!

The site itself is very flat, excellent facilities, very clean award winning toilets etc. Laundry room and on site camp shop.

Cheddar Gorge is about a twenty minute walk depending on pace, the cave are great and there are enough local shops and pubs to keep you stocked.

Tesco or Budgens very close for local shopping trips so this saves having to hump all your food for the week to the camp site from home.

 Stayed for 3 nights in June and have nothing but good things to say about this site. Owners are helpful and friendly, we had a choice of pitches and chose one alongside the river for a completely relaxing break.

Toilet / showers were always clean and small shop at reception very handy for cider and scones!

Site is ideally placed for village and only a short drive to many places of interest.

If in the area we will definitely book here again.

 Fabulous site with very friendly and helpful owners. The facilities are excellent and kept spotless and the small toilet facilities at the entrance to the tent field very welcome.

The location is ideal as it is only a short walk to the village and all of the shops etc. although you are well advised to walk there via the footpath on the old railway line as you take your life in your hands if you walk via the main road.

We had a very enjoyable 7 nights camping and will certainly recommend to friends and will definitely visit again

Reviewer: Tom Thumb 34 reviews from this member

 I visited this site after reading the reviews, but was disappointed.

The entrance is lovely, the owners helpful and the surrounding area is delightful.

The site may be suffering from over use and looks tired, toilets cleaned once a day are nice but soon get crowded with queues soon forming for showers and toilets.

The grassed areas have large patches of dead grass and our pitch had holes where someone had got stuck in a car.

It is a 50 pitch site but the person on the next pitch counted 69 caravans and tents one day.

It also suffers from the noise from the adjoining social club, we had three nights of noise, one night until after midnight.

We also suffered from people letting their dogs bark uncontrolled, this did seem to be the people on seasonal pitches. This could be a lovely site with a little TLC.

Reviewer: Quintonjan 6 reviews from this member

 This is a lovely clean well established site set in picturesque surroundings on the river Yeo. With no noise between 11pm and 8am you are guaranteed a quiet nights sleep too.

Great for visiting Cheddar Gorge (we walked it) and Wookey Hole, not forgetting Wells and its beautiful cathedral. If you want the beach and seaside towns Burnham-on-sea, Brean and Weston-super-mare are all nearby.

This site is no1 as far as we are concerned. Well done all round to the owners who are always ready to help and advise you.

Reviewer: Gail88 11 reviews from this member

 We stayed on this site for 6 days as our grandson was in a bmx competition in the area. We were quoted £36 a night at some sites and this was £12 so we were delighted.

Only one gripe and I hate to do it as everything else was perfect and that was that it only had 2 showers and a bathroom shower. I normally get an evening shower but the racing didn't finish till late on the saturday so went for a morning shower. First visit they were all full. Left it for half an hour and went back and they were all full again.

All in all though a brilliant site.

Reviewer: Mancitymad 1 review from this member

 Just had a weeks stay at this site and what a bargain. The toilets and showers were spotless. There was no noise whatsoever.

In a perfect location for touring around. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and the owners could not have been more helpful. So for £70 for a week with electric I would recommend it to all.

There is a lovely little river running through the site and a pleasant walk around the back which leads into the village and comes out at the only pub in the village 'perfect'

Reviewer: Stevie55 3 reviews from this member

 This site is an absolute jewel, within walking distance of Cheddar, never mind the busy road, there is a path around the back of the site which takes you to the front of the village

Site was fab even with gale force winds and sleet, owners were very welcoming, toilets and showers spotless. Very comfortable homely site, plenty of room, couldn't fault it

Lots to see and do and other places near by, the best £10 per night I have ever spent.

Reviewer: Lofts 2 reviews from this member

 Could not fault this site, we enjoyed it that much we have already booked for next year.

The toilets / showers were cleaned on a daily basis the showers were very spacious.

The site is kept tidy

The site had a small shop which you could get a few essentials from although even if they did not have what you want the site is within walking distance to either a tesco express or budgens

You can easily walk into town or to see the caves as it only takes a few minutes.

 We called in at Cheddar Bridge for two nights, to break up our return journey from Penzance, and couldn't believe our luck!

The sight was amazing, from the friendliness of our greeting to the quality of the facilities.

We were so glad that we had allowed two nights instead of the usual 'pit stop' and found Cheddar, (Not seen since with kids years ago) to be great.

A very easy walk from the site to supermarkets, pubs or straight to the centre of the gorge.

Have to recommend the Shanaz Indian restaurant, which can't be missed on the cliffs road (Would go back for that alone!).

Very peaceful site on banks of the river Yeo, interesting selection of resident ducks wandering around pitches made for a great stopover, which we will definitely do again en-route to Cornwall - maybe more than two nights too!

Reviewer: Nickcb 10 reviews from this member

 Not a lot to complain about here. In fact, I couldn't fault the site at all.

A very friendly welcome, choice of pitch and shown round the site personally. If you are dog-people, just outside the side gate runs the river Yeo (on it's way to Yeovil) and you can walk for miles. The toilets are top-rate, a small reception and shop, and every thing kept in a pristine condition.

Now for the town. 'Is within walking distance' - absolutely true. BUT! do not attempt to walk out of the front gate. The Bridge on the main road to town is very narrow with no footpath. Tractors, delivery vans, Pickfords, Eddie Stobart, etc. Are all trying to cross, and me with thoughts of jumping in the river at this point. However, leaving by the side gate you take the old railway line footpath and 'Hey Presto' you are outside Tesco's. Almost opposite is the Bath Arms pub - dogs welcome and standard pub grub served all day, and they also do a mediocre fryup breakfast from 8am. A few hundred yards from there is a very well-stocked Budgens supermarket. We tried the Chinese restaurant - very friendly but very monosodium glutamate.

Don't think that because you're in Cheddar you can buy cheese! The only way to do this is to visit the 'attraction'. I last visited this site 33 years ago when it was just a field owned by a farmer called Mr Durston and there were two grocers in the town, both of which sold excellent Cheddar cheese. All gone, sad to say.

Don't be put off - this is a superb campsite and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Just to finish, here's the secret tip. On our last day, I was admiring the church when, lo and behold, a succession of people carrying shopping bags were walking through the grave-yard. I followed the well-worn path, and on investigation I found a little gap in the wall right by the chemical emptying point and someone has thoughtfully put a little pair of steps there to aid your entry or exit from the site, and thus cutting off the treacherous bridge-crossing to town.

Reviewer: Autumn9 19 reviews from this member

 A medium sized, adult only site, very close to the town of Cheddar and Cheddar Gorge. The entrance is bedecked with hanging baskets and the site is attractively laid out with a mixture of grass and hard standing pitches, all level, with hook-up.
There are four holiday homes, the rest of the site is devoted to tourers and tents. There is an additional field for tents. Some pitches are next to the river Yeo that runs alongside the site. A few ducks wander about. There is a small shop. The toilet block is modern and very clean, with very large shower cubicles, which probably accounts for the rather steep £19 per pitch in high season.

The site is next to but completely separate from the Cheddar Caravan Club site. A footpath runs between the two and it is recommended this be taken to reach the town, as the route by foot along the road is quite dangerous.
We found the town unremarkable but the walk to the Gorge is very worthwhile. Look out for the wild goats. There is a fair choice of restaurants. Our Indian meal at the Cheddar Cottage was very good.

Reviewer: Microbus1974 24 reviews from this member

 Top rate and we're going back. Close to shops, attraction just leave your car at the campsite an walk.

Very very pleased with the stay.

No charge for freezer an fridge which is good idea

Ever so friendly and helpful, we had some rain but didn't stop us enjoying our stay. There's plenty in cheddar to keep you busy, shops, caves, cheese factory an free sweet making demonstrations

You get used to the church chiming every 15 minutes or while we were there anyway. Superb
