 We've just got back from 3 nights stay at this campsite and it was lovely. The site itself is quite small and quiet but the owners are so friendly they make you very welcome.
The site is just a few minutes walk from the town centre, but we found that if you headed up towards the gorge itself there was a lot more choice of pubs and places to eat.
We did try the Bath Arms on our first night and it wasn't that good, the food was cheap but the pub itself was gross. I wouldn't recommend it!
Although the weather could have been kinder the Gorge was a great place to visit and we happily spent the morning and early afternoon exploring, if it hadn't been raining so hard we would have done the gorge walk too!
I would recommend this site to anyone, and yes perhaps the two showers and three toilets could be a little busy at times, but you never had to wait too long to use the facilities.
We are already trying to fit another weekend in sometime this year and go back there.

Just got back from 3 nights at this campsite. A lovely adult only campsite, very quiet. So quiet I found myself whispering in case I made too much noise!
Toilets and shower facilities very clean, never had to wait even though campsite looked 80% full.
It rained most of our stay, but we found a dog friendly pub in the village - The Galleries Inn - and spent a lovely afternoon there.
Stuck to the 'longer' route into the village, although it took only 10 minutes to get there.
All in all, would go back again.

We recently stayed at this adult only site which is a short walk from the village of Cheddar, having read the other reviews we were pleasantly surprised to find the church clock broken and only the bell ringers on Saturday evening and Sunday morning providing anything noisy, the road is bearable, although saying that I wear ear plugs as my husband and labrador both snore.
The facilities on site are clean and well kept with nice big showers with plenty of room, the shop holds very little but they do sell local eggs, cider and, when in season, strawberries.
The owners are lovely and very helpful as previously mentioned, the site is well kept and the river running through makes it an even more beautiful setting, yes it is next to a church and graveyard, but the high thick set trees hide this on the pitch side.
The drive into cheddar through the gorge is quite hairy but also very beautiful, it's just a shame that you come across the commercial side of the village so abruptly. The ticket to see the caves etc is £15 and is valid for 10 years! We did most of it in 2 days but missed Jacobs ladder due to wet weather and a tired dog so we do have the option of going back. For cheese fans the cheese factory or even just the shop is a must, believe it or not there is only one place in Cheddar that makes and sells cheese and the factory is just that place, lots to taste and lots to buy!
For Sunday lunchers I recommend the Galleries Inn in the village, not much to look at but they do serve up a fabulous Sunday roast. Dogs welcome.
I would definitely return to the campsite and would love to go back and do more exploring in the beautiful countryside.

We've just returned from a 3 night visit to this site and can highly recommend it. It is a small site (more spaces for caravans than for tents) but if you manage to get in, you wont regret it. The facilities were always spotless and piping hot water. The owners were very helpful and friendly. The site was quiet and kept clean. Its in an ideal position, being a 5 min walk from the village itself, which has a lot of choice for eating out if you don't want the bother of cooking. Great walking in the vicinity too. Will be visiting again.

An excellent site. Upon arrival, the owner was very very pleasant and helpful.
The site is nicely laid out, there are some static caravans, there were quite a few tourers and several tents.
The site is for adults only and is therefore very quiet. The facilities were all excellent, no complaints at all.
Cheddar itself is a lovely village, plenty of facilities, few pubs etc, will definitely be returning.
After reading some reviews on here, I had to double check I had got the correct site. We had no problems with hot water, the site was quiet (yes there is the Church Bell in the distance)and the road in to Cheddar Village was certainly not a problem. 10 out of 10.

Just had 2 nights at this quiet adults only site in the middle of Cheddar. Nice sized hard standing motorhome pitches. Friendly owners.
Weren't over fussed with the toilet / washroom facilities, especially as they are advertised as 'luxury'. Only 2 showers and 3 toilets in each block (male & female) and hot water was only available between 7am-12noon & 4pm-9pm - very strange?! The toilets always seemed to be out of paper. There was also a separate bathroom, which contained a sink, toilet and bath with shower over. It certainly needed a good clean if not re-decorating. The washing up area was inside a summer house, which also contained very useful information on the local area.
The walking from the site was good. You could take your life in your hands and walk into Cheddar village via the main road (where there was a fairly big Budgens supermarket)or opt for the safer / longer route along the river, over the bridge, around by the school and in via the Tesco Express end (open till 11pm most nights!).
Cheddar itself is full of pubs / restaurants / takeaways / tearooms and cafes so you'll never be short of food or refreshments! The Riverside Inn did great food and the service was really quick too. A lot of eateries are doggie friendly too, which is something we don't come across often enough in Britain. Dogs are also allowed INSIDE the Gorge & Caves but an adult ticket to do the lot, including the 274 steps up Jacobs Ladder and the open top bus tour was £14 per person.
If you're a light sleeper beware of the church bells (the site sits right next to the church & graveyard!). They ring every 15 minutes day & night! Not sure if we'd return as the CC site was right next door and has been updated recently - looked really nice too!

We have just returned from a very nice stay at this site. The weather was wonderful. The site its self was a real find. Well kept etc. There was a little noise from the local football club on Saturday night but this was really not that bad. The toilets and showers were spotless. We found the walk into town was much nicer via the footpath over the river. You didn't come into contact with cars at all. There was a small shop on site that did all the basics and they had a selection of local ciders as well.
All in all a very well kept site and we will be returning here and would have no problems recommending it to friends.

We stayed at this lovely spacious site for a week and had a lovely pitch by the river bank. The owners were happy, chatty people willing to do anything to help out, they gave us ant powder when the flying ants attacked our tent and charged our camera battery up free of charge. The toilets and showers were spotlessly clean and very spacious too, although we only used them one night as we liked soaking in the private bathroom.What a bonus that was!
We do have only one downer with this site, which is a shame as I cant imagine this often happens but. We picked this site as it was adults only so we looked forward to the peace and quiet, but we've been on quieter family sites than this! we had a large tent beside ours which was joined by two smaller tents, a total of six youngsters drinking and playing very loud music well into 2am. This happened three nights running making us very tired and fed up. Its meant to be no noise after 11pm so i'm not sure how they got away with it but it did ruin our nights.
Like I say i'm sure its not always the case. There was a loud football disco on the sat night which the owner was most sorry about, but it was out of his hands to stop it.
The road running by the site can be a bit noisey too, boy racers race around it at all hours of the night. Its the same scary road that you walk on into cheddar. You really do dice with death walking on it. Its a tight blind bend and cars come round so fast you have to dive into the hedge for the sake of your life!
But don't let this put you off, it really is a lovely site and we would certainly use it again.

Very nice site, short walking distance from Cheddar village. Although as already said it can be somewhat "exciting" if you take the main road route with no footpath. A better route is through the entrance over the river, turn right and under/over the bridge which takes you around the back of the Church a bit longer but much less stressful. The previously mentioned Saturday night music seems to be an all year affair as we visited outside the football season, but was not too bad. It was the church bells which chime every 15 minutes 24 hours a day/night which kept me awake. But at least I knew what time it was 1am, 1:15am, 1:30am. Having said that the toilets and showers were always very clean. The site has a well stocked shop and the owners can't do enough to help out with any queries you might have. Cheddar Gorge is only a short walk away and Cheddar itself has plenty of pubs and other eating places to suit all tastes and pockets. Wells and Wookey Hole are only a short drive with Weston, Brean etc a little further. Overall I would definitely recommend the site, despite the rain leading up to our visit during this year the site was well drained and not the quagmire I was expecting, and the surrounding attractions and countryside mean there is plenty to do.

The campsite was very pleasant. The toilet facilities were clean and well kept, showers were free but were only hot between 7 and 12 and 4 and 9. There was also a bath for campers use. There was a laundry room, £2 for the washing machine and £1 for the tumble dryer, and free use of ironing facilities. Also there was a fridge freezer. There was a small shop on site and they stocked the essentials at a competitive price. There was also Budgens just around the corner. Cheddar itself was beautiful, we did the gorge walk and walked back into the village via the road, it had fantastic views. Pubs and restaurants are pleasant and there is plenty of eating places. We would recommend visiting Cheddar and staying at Cheddar Bridge. We would return.

Lovely little site, nice that it was adults only - it seemed very popular. Facilities were spotless and very good. Cheddar itself is a lovely place, plenty of places to eat, great choice of cuisines and of course not far (walking distance) from the famous Gorge & caves.
My only criticism was the proximity to the road and the football club as they had a very very noisy disco on Saturday night, but hopefully it will soon be the end of the football season so that won't be a problem during the main holiday season.
I agree with previous reviewers that the walk into Cheddar is a little 'hairy' along the road but it didn't stop us venturing out several times over a very pleasant weekend.
I would recommend it, if you are not concerned by a bit of road noise ( we live in 'the sticks' so we found it obtrusive).

Adult only site very close to Cheddar village and Gorge.
Dog friendly with fields just outside campsite alongside river.
Footpath takes you to the village which has two small supermarkets, cafes, pub, hairdresser etc. And if you walk another 10 minutes you reach the Gorge with plenty of shops, restaurants and pubs.
Showers and toilets were good but separate bathroom was a bit grubby. Showerscreen hanging off the wall and the smell of tobacco smoke was awful. Having said that a site with a bath is a big plus point to some.
Very convenient site, would use again.

We stayed for three nights over Halloween. Despite the heavy rain a few days earlier the site was not the quagmire I expected given we were right next to the river. Which incidentally is full of fish and I was lucky enough to see a kingfisher.
The toilets and showers were good and remained in a good state of decor despite it being the end of the season.
Lots to see and do in Cheddar, We found our way to the Bath Arms, just around the corner, the food was good quality, huge portions and great value.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this peaceful and tranquil site and would return. Our only reservation would be the pitch sizes my guess is it would be a bit cramped in high season when the site is full.

We stayed here over the August Bank Holiday weekend and thought the campsite was lovely.
It's quite small, doesn't allow children and has a no noise rule after 11.00pm. The owners were very friendly and this site allows dogs.
The showers were always clean, although I did have to queue every morning as there are only 2. However, they are very spacious. The hot water was only available between 7-12 & 4-9 which wasn't great as a shower before bed can really warm your cockles! There were also 3 private basin's in cubilcles and there was a plug for hairdryers and straighteners.
The pitch itself was lovely. Just by a river and despite this there wasn't millions of midgis! It is very close to the village of Cheddar - less than a 5 minute walk. Although on occasions you did have to dice with death as the road did not have a footpath, was unlit, on a bend and very narrow! There is a longer route into Cheddar if you wanted to avoid this.
Overall glad we have been to Cheddar, although it was much more touristy and commercial than we expected and I doubt we will go back. If we did ever change our minds Cheddar Bridge would definitely be the place we would stay!

This lovely quiet campsite is situated on the outskirts of the village of Cheddar and is within walking distance of the Gorge and all its attractions - including the scenic Mendips. The site itself is equipped with a superbly clean toilet and shower block , however there are limited times as to when the is hot water is available. The proprietors work extremely hard to keep people happy and the park in pristine condition. The site can feel a little cramped when it has its full quota of campers - otherwise , HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !
