 Just returned from this lovely site in the Mendips near Cheddar. We were warmly greeted by one of the wardens and shown a couple of pitches that would suit us. We chose a pitch by the wall that borders the road. There was a small amount of noise from this but nothing too bad. The pitches are sloping and a little on the tight side. We were definitely closer than 6 metres to both the tent next door and across the road. We had a fair amount of rain and so the dead area of our pitch became a bit of a mud bath! Facilities are first rate, spotlessly clean. The ladies facilities were heated with privacy cubicles to some basins and even a few loos with wash hand basins in them. Showers were large enough to take a child in too, though there are parent and child facilities on site too. There are spotless dishwashing facilities both indoor and outdoor with hot water from solar power. There is some distant machinery noise, not sure if this is a local farm or there is a scrap metal place nearby but we were aware of the noise though we might have been unlucky. Bikers too seem to like the Mendips on a sunny day so be prepared for that as well. The small shop is really great and the croissants available to order and baked on site were just brilliant! It is a real credit to the wardens who obviously put in a major effort to keep the place to a high standard. Overall I think this is a great Club Site and one I would be happy to return too, but with better weather next time!

Spent 3 nights here. A lovely small site on the top of the Mendips a couple of miles from the top of Cheddar Gorge. The site is sloping so try for a pitch at the lower end, away from the road, where it levels off slightly. Usual facilities for a C&CC site with helpful wardens who offered us a choice of pitches. Site has a small play area for young children.
A small farm shop 5 minutes walk one way (which does excellent cooked breakfasts, try one) and a pub in the village of Priddy a 15 minute walk in the other (beer - Butcombe and food excellent).
No public transport so spent one day visiting family and friends, and the other visiting Glastonbury - the New Age hippy capital of Britain. Even if not your thing, worth sitting in a cafe and watching the 'sights' walk by!
Plenty to do in area and will be visiting again I'm sure.

WOW! We stumbled on this site accidentally: the one we were planning to stay at only had grass pitches on a slope an we kept getting stuck in the mud.
From the moment we arrived Roy and Jennette (the wardens) were absolutely a DELIGHT. Friendly, helpful and honest: thank you.
The site is brilliant: large half hard standing half grass pitches: these are levelled. The views of the Mendips are beautiful, the site is spotlessly clean, the toilets are WARM and immaculate. The shop is well stocked with local produce including Cheddar Ales!.
There is a small playground with swings and a slide, perfectly adequate for typing children.
We will certainly be returning: thank you fro a great time!

We have had the pleasure of visiting this site on a couple of occasions, and have been overalled impressed with the pitches and the facilities. The site itself is well maintained and the shop has all that you forget to bring. I love that you can order your pastries for the next morning. A big thumbs up

To spend time at this site was pure pleasure.
Friendly, helpful wardens.
A proper reasonably level hardstanding pitch, with space between us and the neighbours
Heated shower block with showers that are not the annoying push button variety
Well stocked shop, fresh bakery goods and not overly priced
Farm shop 300m down the road, I can recommend their bacon and sausages
Traditional pub in the village serving decent pub grub and fantastic walks, with breathtaking views. And not to mention the plethora of attractions all within a few miles of the site.

Just returned from 4 nights at this site. It must be me, but I couldn't see anything nice about this site. Not sure where the views were and felt everybody was packed in. The access and exit from the site is tight. I spent a while watching a traffic jam with vans/motorhomes trying to get in and out. I assume the jam is caused by campers going into reception to redeem their barrier token?
I was disappointed that between the rows of caravans, tents and motorhomes without electric were allowed to pitch. I have an end bathroom and was shocked to espy out of the window a tent with a mum, dad and child setting up their tent for the night! Worse was the next morning, they decided to pack up (noisily) from 06.30am in the morning.
I am not a grumpy camper but am sure this site could be improved, it just wasn't very attractive. My score however is purely for the Wardens who I absolutely cannot fault.

This site is wonderful. We arrived with our tent much later than we had expected due to delays on the M6. To top it all, when we arrived it was pouring with rain! The site staff were very understanding, good humoured and offered to help us erect the tent so we could get settled in quickly despite the weather. We stayed for 4 days and had a wonderful time. The weather improved and the site facilities were spotless. Showers were hot, the shop was well stocked and the freshly baked croissants in the morning are the business. We will definitely return.

One year on. The site is just as clean and quiet as I remember it. I had forgotten that the shower/toilet block was heated and that was great. We stayed 2 nights and the site was full. The showers/toilets were clean but soap dispensers were either broken or had no soap and the loo paper was getting low so mentioned this to a member of staff. The both the showers I tried had very little pressure and I virtually had to press myself against a wall to get hot water. Apart from that, all good. Staff as friendly as ever. Croissants just as good. Will come back next year if we go to the Priddy folk festival again.

Perfect site in a great location with friendly staff. The facilities are excellent with the showers amongst the best to be found on a camp site. The shop is well stocked and was open until 7pm during our stay.
The site is located at 250 metres high on the edge of the Mendip Hills. The hill drops down by about 200 metres to Cheddar to the west and Wells to the south - both approximately 6 miles from the site. The height of the site means the temperature is somewhat cooler than that in Cheddar or Wells.
We cycled into Wells on relatively quite country lanes. It is all down hill there passing Wookey Hole tourist attraction. Wells is a perfect size to have a wander around with lots to see. The cycle back was much harder but achievable if fit.
The following day we walked into Cheddar using a 13 mile circular walk. Our route started along quiet country lanes to near Charterhouse. From there our route went down the start of Cheddar Gorge (Velvet Bottom and Black Rock) to the main gorge. Once in Cheddar we headed east and followed the West Meddip Way back to the club site.
The Queen Victoria in Priddy is a 10-15 minute walk from the site and is a nice village pub serving straightforward pub grub.
The grass pitches are not level and some are quite slopped. This is the only negative aspect of the site of which it would be good if the club could improve.

A good site. Wardens were very friendly. Handy site shop. Showers hot, and clean. Play park only adequate. Many pitches are sloping but some are level. We were on a slope that I found annoyed me.
This site is in a glorious location with fabulous views. There are loads of places nearby to visit. Wells is 5 miles away and is a stunning old city(we liked Wells). We didn't try the pub as it was too busy when we were there- probably a good sign.

A very nice site situated in lovely countryside with staff who really went out of their way to make your stay pleasant.
The shop is well stocked with everything that you're likely to need during your stay. They cheekily resell some Lidl / Aldi stuff but that's not a big deal when you're buying convenience. The shop also takes orders for the freshest bread, pasties, pastries etc. A very short walk, <5 minutes, is a farm shop / restaurant which does the greatest cooked breakfast I've ever tasted. There's very clean facilities on site with several showers and a very good family room. There's also a very basic play park.
The only criticism I have is the slope it's situated on. We were in a jumbo serviced pitch and the slopes around the site played havoc with my back and hips as you're never on a level surface with the exception of the ablution block and the shop area. Overall though a wonderful place to stay.

We have just arrived back from this site yesterday after spending six glorious days there. The site was one of the nicest we have ever stayed at. Spacious pitches, gorgeous views and a superb shop for ordering freshly baked croissants and pain chocolate in the morning. The people who run it are some of the most friendly and helpful that we have ever met. The toilet/shower and amenity blocks were absolutely spotless. No ignoring cobwebs in the corners here - absolutely spotless! I can't think of any negative comments whatsoever - I just wanna go back!

Friendly reception on arrival. We were shown to our pitch and were told about the barrier to enter/exit the site with your car (you need a card - we did not use this). We were also told about water points, where to find bricks if we needed to raise our barbecue, where the recycling points were, the closing time of the toilet/shower block (11. 30-12. 30pm I seem to recall). Our pitch was on a small incline but I have had worse. The ground was not rocky at all and the pegs went in like a dream. Our pitch was very spacious - we have a 4m bell tent and an awning which is just as big. The shop is well stocked - delicious croissants for breakfast. The toilet/shower block was very clean. A few single loos. Some with their own washbasin for ablutions. 2 shower units and two units with loo, basin and shower. Loved the fact that you don't have to press a button to get water, just pull on a cord and off it goes for as long as you like. 20p for hairdryer (did not try it). Overall, great. Some beautiful views. Everyone was really quiet and there virtually no traffic noise overnight. Possibly the best night sleep in campsite ever (for me!). There is a small child playground area with a slide and some swings. There is a farm shop about 5 minute away on foot which does breakfast and lunch. Priddy village is about 15-20 minutes walk for the nearest pub.

We couldn't find fault with this site. It is as described in the club's details except that there is now only one pub in Priddy serving very good 'pub grub' although beware of the chilli - apparently it is very spicy, so a member of our party said.
If you are on the hard standing you will need rock pegs and a good strong hammer for your awning! The tent site is quite sloping. Just a few pitches on the level.
The facilities were spotless, thanks to Fiona. Besides individual toilet cubicles, two of which had wash hand basins, and washing/dressing cubicles, there was a choice of shower arrangements - two shower only cubicles and two wet room style with shower, toilet and wash hand basin. I think these facilities were mirrored in the gents. Hair dryer 20p but don't know how much time you get. There was also a family wet room and a parent and child wet room with nappy changing facilities. Plenty of hooks for your clothes.
Excellent indoor veg prep and washing up facilities - even have two sinks units outside - together with a laundry room with iron and board. £3. 50 wash 50p dry and 20p iron (again don't know how long you get).
Well stocked shop. Delicious home made bread - give them a ring and I am sure they will save you one for when you arrive. The local ice cream is also great - especially the chocolate.
The farm shop, just a few minutes walk away also does breakfasts, lunches and afternoon teas.
The managers and their assistants couldn't have been better. We didn't see them without a smile on their faces - mind you with the site in such a beautiful, quiet place everyone was smiling.
There is a short dog walk the length of the site, so those of you with pooches will have to wander a bit farther afield for their constitutional. Although on the walks we went on they would have to have a touch of 'Red Rum' in their blood to leap over the stiles.
Not much for children - just two swings and a small slide. But you could always organise your own children activities - I think there is nothing nicer than the laughter of children!
Plenty of places to visit and a great walking area with gorges to climb or just watch the rock climbers at Cheddar Gorge. If you are a pot hole enthusiast, you will be in your element.
