 Access to this site is quite straight forward, despite what others may have said previously. Follow the A371 from the M5 direction as it skirts Cheddar. The road narrows slightly and you're looking out for the football club on the RHS. Take the lane to the right and follow the brook for 80 yds until the wide entrance is on your left.
There are no passing places on this stretch, but if you are worried send a passenger to make sure your way is clear.
Nice friendly wardens at the time of our visit, and as always with CC sites the facilities were immaculately clean. No playground for kids.
Reception sells a few odds and ends, but Sainsbury's and Tesco are a short walk away.
No on site dog walk, but once out of the gate turn right and 50 yds later dogs can be let free to run.
Cheddar and the gorge are within walking distance from the site, as are numerous pubs and restaurants.
If you like sunshine, avoid the pitches under the trees on the west side of the site. You will hear the church bells, and to be honest the bell ringers need all the practice they can get. Also on match nights you will be disturbed by the vocal crowd at the football club as well as the flood lights that also illuminate much of the CC site.
Very handily located for sight seeing around Somerset.

Nice little site but as it was a week before the half term holidays very quiet, a bit too quiet for us but we seemed to get used to it. Toilets clean and tidy with red hot showers and are not locked anymore. The lady in reception very helpful but her husband is a bit of a grump but you can't have everything and once on site did not have much to do with them. Budgens supermarket is now closed but it seems Sainsburys is taking over the premises so shopping will be easier. If you are contemplating the Gorge walk please be warned, first part up the left hand hill is very steep and rough under foot but the view from the other side is worth it especially if you dare stand on the edge of the cliff. Clarks shopping village in Street is worth a visit and if you fancy a drive on a beach go to the far end of Brean sands and drive straight on for miles. Perrys Cider Farm in Ilminster is lovely especially at this time of year, parked in the orchard and got bombed by apples dropping of the trees.

A nice litte site on the outskirts of Cheddar. It is situated off a very narrow lane so please take note of Caravan Club instructions on arrival times there is good a good reason for them. The usual high standard of Caravan Club facilities. A easy walk into Cheddar and the Gorge. A Tesco Express and a Budgens within walking distance. Most of the pubs are dog friendly either in the bar or beer gardens. We had a nice meal at the White Hart which wasn't expensive.

Excellent site - well placed on the edge of Cheddar Village, within walking distance of the famous Cheddar Gorge. There are a number of dog friendly pubs (who do amazing food!) within walking distance. The warden on the site was lovely, welcoming when we arrived and a happy face was presented with every interaction.
The site itself was very well maintained, and the facilities were excellent. Although 4 showers for the Ladies doesn't seem enough, it was on a weekend that was fully booked.
Plenty of washing up sinks and a functioning laundry room. The individual plots were well spaced - Would thoroughly recommend, excellent value or money!

The entrance to this site is via a very narrow lane and you need to follow the instructions given by the caravan club regarding access. Don't be put off once on site it is great, the usual high standard facilities are available, the site is secure with barrier access/exit. Free view was fine level pitches both hard standing and some large grass pitches ideal for those with larger awnings. Cheddar village is a few minutes walk and the local Budgens will supply all your needs, if you are a meat lover try the scotch eggs £2. 00 but worth every penny, also the locally produced pies were great. There is also a Tesco extra, Chinese and indian takeaway in the village
Cheddar gorge is a 20 minute walk and has all you would expect from a tourist attraction. Clarkes Village is a 30 minute drive for those in need of retail therapy.

Not the friendliest of welcomes, but booked in quickly and asked to pick our own pitch and return with the number. We chose a nice corner pitch on hardstanding with grass either side. Later found that this backs onto a small lane and then onto a footpath to town or along by the river. Unfortunately in the evenings all the local youths seemed to gather along here and shout & swear at the top of their voices for a couple of hours! I found this quite worrying as we were just behind a thin hedge.
The facilities were clean and of a good standard. The TV signal is quite patchy, even when plugged in. Mobile signal is good.
No dog walk on site, but we had a nice walk down by the river and made it into a circular of about 5 miles, cutting back into the other end of Cheddar.
We won't be hurrying back to this site, the whole area is too busy for us.

Access to this site really is quite simple. Turn off the A391 onto the wide entrance to the lane that takes you behind the football ground to the site entrance.
The lane is not very long, but the CC ask that new arrivals come after 1pm as there are no passing places.
At the time of our stay the warden team were rather humourless and exchanging pleasantries was out of the question. However, booking in was efficient.
The site is level, and is mostly well drained hard standings, the grass pitches not being in use this late in the season.
As always with a CC site the toilet block was well presented and spotlessly clean. Reception do not sell anything, though there is a Tesco Express within a stones throw from the site.
Cheddar village and The Gorge are a short walk away, but for any sort of big shop you'll need to head for Weston or Wells for a decent sized supermarket (though excellent fruit and vedge can be purchased at the roadside shops in Rodney Stoke).
The site has no play area or dog walk, and this is the first time that my Status has let me down (TV hook up is available on the bollards, but you'll need a lead).

Stayed as a bit of a last minute thing to give the van an airing before the summer started. Arrived at about 7:00 on Sat night and the really helpful warden gave us the choice of the last remaining 3 pitches and also offered the larger disabled pitch that wasn't being used that evening, right by the toilets which was great. Site very clean and tidy and the toilets spotless as previously mentioned - only thing I don't really understand is why there is a lock on the toilet door - do they really have to be made secure to that extent?
Walked into the village and ate in the Waterside Pub which is about 10 mins away - just walk into the village, turn right at the monument thing and keep walking. A reasonable meal and a nice atmosphere. Had breakfast at the football club next morning - looks a bit dodgy on first impression, but the brekkie was actually very nice and a reasonable price. Spent the rest of the day walking around the top of the gorge on the gorge walk - best way to see it is from above and a nice afternoon. All in all this site is a good place for a stop over and well up to the standards of the CC

The usual high standard facilities of a Caravan Club, this is a compact site on the edge of Cheddar village. Handy location for visiting Cheddar Gorge and the tourist spots of Somerset.
We spent four nights here just after the Easter weekend in the school holidays, two family groups in two vans. Although rather cold most of the time we enjoyed our stay.
We visited Cheddar Gorge and I would recommend walking the mile or so to the start of the gorge and saving the £5 on parking. We also bought the family ticket at the site at the discount price. The gorge is a mix of spell bounding natural lime stone caves, dramatic scenery and a host of tea shops, cider stores and tourist shops. Being a cold Easter it was not too busy but I can
Imagine it is rather solid with people in the summer.
We made a visit to Wells taking in an excellent three mile walk around Tor Hill above the town collecting Geo Caches and having a picnic while admiring the view of the Somerset panorama. We also took in a visit to the magnificent historic Wells Cathedral. We also had another day out at Bath taking in the Roman Baths and views round the city.
From the site there are easily accessible fields for country walks and a place to let your dog stretch their legs. Within walking distance are two supermarkets and numerous eateries in the village, the Budgens has an excellent high quality
Butcher within selling great pasties and pies. There were few more aspects that we did not take in such as Wookey Hole, Weston-Super-Mare and many quaint villages and other wonderful Somerset
Locations to drop into.
In common with Caravan Club sites the layout is ordered with good sized pitches with the usual array of rules. There are sixty-four pitches with about two thirds being gravel pitches all the pitches have electric hook up and TV points. The
Amenities are well maintained and a good standard. If you want to know exactly what to expect and want the reliable regimentation of Caravan Club this site ticks the boxes.
Great location for visiting Cheddar and West Somerset, for those who like the conformism of Caravan Club.

Cheddar CC site is quite compact, but the mix of grass and hard-standings gives it a more open feel than some sites. Facilities are of course to the usual CC standard.
There is a strict 1pm arrival, 12 noon departure policy - with good reason, as the access road is very narrow for a short stretch with a blind bend.
We found the Cheddar Gorge area itself a bit disappointing with the village end highly touristy. We didn’t however visit the caves so can’t rate these as an attraction.
The highlight of our stay here though was a visit to Wells. Not knowing anything much about the town beforehand, we thought we would allow an hour to see the Cathedral.
We in fact spent six hours (had to update the parking ticket twice!) there on a hot sunny day (in June!) and thought the Cathedral and especially the Bishop’s Palace gardens wonderful!
Do not miss Wells if you are in the area!
