We had stayed here two years ago as a couple in a static caravan and came back on a camping holiday with my partners kids as we’d immediately thought of them when we saw the facilities on the last visit.
It’s totally geared up for kids and they absolutely loved it and didn’t want to come home. They definitely want to go back. The shop is a decent size for everything you could need along with souvenir gifts and toys etc.
Check-in was easy and friendly. The pitch was nicely secluded and we’d rung several times prior to arrival to organise which pitch we’d be on due to the huge size of our unit with extension and the staff were always pleasant and helpful and did everything they could to accommodate us.
The kids loved the BMX track which hosts the UK Championships so it’s a very good track. We were lucky enough to watch this on our first visit and it made a great day out whilst still on site. It states on all paperwork etc that anyone using the track should be accompanied by an adult and have all the correct safety wear in place ie. Helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. We made sure this was the case for our kids (which proved valuable!) but others did not and we were very disappointed to see that this did not seem to be policed.
In the pool, however, the lifeguard was there at all times and would not allow our children (aged 8 and 10) to be left there unsupervised despite them having every swimming badge going so whilst we’re all for safety, that went from one extreme to the other and seemed a little over cautious.
On a night the entertainment proved popular. The kids loved the Bingo and the Deal or No Deal followed by the disco and karaoke. The room itself was somewhat run down and dirty, as in tables not wiped and glasses cleared etc, but we didn’t expect much else from this kind of family environment and it certainly didn’t put us off.
The play area is fantastic, even us adults loved it, especially the huge swings, great fun. There’s an area around the play area for barbequing as well so you can be close to the kids and oversee them playing while you’re preparing their tea.
There’s lots of other bits and pieces on site too like the skate park, tennis courts, pool tables, mini bmx tracks etc and lots of walks direct from site following the coloured trails. We chose one which was rather overgrown unfortunately but once we got out of the thick of it we really enjoyed it and there were some fab views from the highest point.
There is lots to do nearby as well so the site is well placed. We went into Cheddar village a few times, the gorge is amazing to drive through and the caves are worth a visit, nice little shops. We went into the Cheese Factory which shows you how it’s made and there’s a shop at the end where you can sample all the different flavoured cheeses and chutneys.
We spent a fortune! Before going, I had printed a Treasure Hunt off the internet and we did that around Cheddar one day which the kids enjoyed. We spent another day at Wookey Hole which was fab and the kids loved that too. Not a cheap day out but tickets are cheaper bought from the internet in advance and you can get 2 for 1 vouchers off vouchercloud. Our girls loved meeting the witch as we’d seen coverage on the news of her just the week before we went as she was newly recruited. She caught me out in the maze of mirrors and that gave them a good giggle (and me almost a heart attack!)
Another day was spent in nearby Street. There’s a discount shopping village there which we parked up in and spent a while shopping then if you go straight through the other side into the town centre you’ll find a great big outdoor pool. We knew about this so went prepared and it was the kids highlight of the holiday so definitely a winner. You do have to pay entry but it wasn’t expensive but if spectators go out they have to pay again to get back in.
All in all the site makes a fab family holiday but that is what it is, be prepared for there being a lot of kids there in the summer months, some not the most polite and obedient and rules not always adhered to but if you know what to expect then it’s an acceptable level.
Toilet and wash up facilities are clean and plentiful so no complaints there and all on site activities are great. Only negatives, as previously stated are that the BMX track should be supervised and the entertainment room could do with more glass collectors and table wipers, other than that it’s fab and we’ll definitely return, the kids are nagging to already!
Stayed 3 nights at this site to break up a long journey home. This is a large site, we had a 'super grass' pitch which was located in field 8 towards the rear of the site, so was quite a walk to the nearest toilet / shower block. There are 2 shower blocks on site, the main block I felt was adequate but rather dated, the 2nd smaller block (which was nearer to us) had 4 showers, 5 toilets and 4 basins and was rather busy at times, but were generally kept clean.
Plenty on site for kids, large adventure playground, skateboard park BMX track, outdoor swimming pool and basketball court.
There is a bar and evening entertainment, but we didn't use it.
There are signs requesting guests are quiet between 10pm and 8am,but nothing was done to enforce this, there was only a hedge seperating us and the basketball court and 1 night people were still using it at midnight.
In all not a bad site, but too busy and noisy for me, would probably not stay here again.
Stayed for 4 nights in July 2009 - excellent facilities especially for children with a huge adventure playground & smaller toddler playground. There's also a large BMX track which I'm sure would appeal to older children. We had a great time here despite the heavy showers! The site is very well maintained and I can vouch for good drainage - as we did have to contend with some seriously heavy downpours. Everything was kept very clean and very friendly staff.
The only thing I would criticise is that the shop isn't kept particularly well stocked - they had no bacon or milk one morning but it was extremely quiet when we were there so maybe it would be different in the main school holidays (and there's a petrol station with small shop just along the road which we used instead). Lastly, if it was very busy, I'm not sure if you would have to queue for showers - there seemed to be lots of pitches but not that many showers.
Overall though we would definitely go back, it's great for visiting Somerset - very close to Wookey Hole, Cheddar Gorge and only about 20 minutes drive from the seaside at Brean Sands.
I stayed here for a weekend with my hubby and 2 children aged 2 & 4yrs.
Selected a 'super grass pitch' which was plentiful for a 6 berth dome tent, canopy and 7 seater car.
Initially concerned that we were on the field furthest away from the entrance and leisure facilities (field 10) but soon realised it was perfect. We backed onto woodland, were surrounded by other young families and didn't have any through traffic so the children could run around more freely.
The children's entertainment was great with lots of prize-giving and a little play area within the pub that my 4 year old felt very grown up using! We didn't stay to sample the adult entertainment and disco so can't comment upon that.
We never had to queue for a shower although there's only 2 blocks on site. The water was always hot. Family shower rooms are available at the main block - we discovered these as we were leaving! That said plenty of room to shower a toddler and yourself in the main block. It was nice to see lockable sink cubicles too.
We used the heated pool and our children loved the baby pool. No changing rooms - just a roomy toilet but we just wrapped up in our towels and showered over the road afterwards which was fine.
We intend to return in the near future with friends who've never camped before. Think this site will be ideal for their 10-13 yr olds too- adventure playground, skateboard and bmx parks.
Easy to find. Areas of local interest close by. Child friendly pub in Cheddar village (play area & bouncy castle at the rear).
We booked off the site's own website which was offering 40% discount so we paid 43.50 for 2 nights instead of 72.00! This proved cheaper than the site we stayed on the previous week which had far less facilities!
The only improvement could be a closer toilet block for those staying at the rear - a potty was a must for late nights for the toddlers. The same facilities in the upper block as the lower one as it had no sink cubicles.
Excellent! Clean, warm showers, cubicles could be a little bigger, but there are plenty of them. Friendly service in the bar and shop. Plenty of everything you need there. Kids amusement area closed in the evening, along with the pool, but there is entertainment in the bar for them until 8.30pm, then Bingo!
Adventure play area, bmx track and skateboard park, pool tables and warm swimming pool with separate kids pool, but no pool changing cubicles. Will definitely visit again if in the area. If you visit their website they are currently offering 40% off until September, booking online.

The site is really nice with pitches separated by hedges and all had electric hook up and water tap to each tent pitch. The restaurant served bar snack type meals in the evening which we thought were excellent value for money if you are happy with burgers, chilli, scampi etc. Childrens meals included drink and ice cream. All staff were polite,helpful, and would go out of their way for you.Local ciders on sale - excellent.
Showers always hot,occasional queues, but only one or two people before you.Toilets clean and always seemed to have supplies of soap, loo paper etc.Would hope they may consider another shower /toilet block near to top field (Gin Gan Ghooli Field) as we had to drive to loo if desperate as it was quite a walk away.
Surrounding area lovely.Wookey Hole, Cheddar gorge and caves make good days out.
My only complaint would be that one of our requirements was for there to be wifi connection which site advertises as being available - when we asked about connection receptionist said they did not have any!
We are just back from a week-long holiday at this wonderful campsite.
With 2 playgrounds (one for 'little-uns' and another for 'big-uns'), a skate track, a football area, a BMX biking track, a miniature golf course, a heated pool (which really is heated and the toddler pool is warmer than the deeper pool), a tennis court (so my kids told me!) and many walking trails around the site there was lots for our children to do and they were very happy here.
The plots are surrounded on 3 sides by hedges, offering families a little privacy.
The staff are incredibly friendly. The toilets and showers are very clean and well maintained(with family shower rooms and shower rooms for holiday makers with disabilities).
There is a well equipped laundry (3pounds/small load, 4 pounds/large load), a small shop and a pub on site which offers entertainment on some evenings.
There is in fact so much that we didn't have time to look at everything during this stay - it is definitely a site we will be returning to on a future holiday.
We stayed here in May 2009 for 5 days. The park itself is well located and easy to get to. The facilities were excellent for a family of four, and the pitches with the hedges between offered an excellent location. The surrounding area is superb, with lots to do and see, Chedder Gorge, Wookey Hole, Weston Super Mare. The list goes on.
There is a well stocked shop selling food, toiletries, camping essentials, even some caravan parts. A nice friendly club and bar area, along with some good standard shower and toilet facilities.
If you're after a quiet week then this isn't the place for you, but if you have kids, then it's perfect. The pool is a must, even if it's raining !.
The only thing I can think to write as an improvement would be to update the decor in the bar/club. It was a bit dated, but didn't effect the taste of the local cider :-)
This is a lovely site that is ideally situated for cheddar and all that the surrounding areas offer. Pitches are level and most seem to have bushes to separate them so you do have your own little spot, which is nice but that means you don't have a lot of room for the kids to play and they end up having to play in the road.
Having said that there is a fab play area here that the kids love.
The Entertainment in the club needs a little attention as there was nothing in the way of kids club, just a dj. The club itself was very quiet but I think that was just because of the entertainment.
We would use this site again but I think it is a little expensive. Overall nice site.
Arrived on Wednesday of half term week in the pouring rain! Had a look around the site and asked if we could change the pitch they had allocated us. Staff could not have been friendlier and offered us a range of pitches to choose from. Loved the lay out of the site. Showers and toilets nice and clean. Dogs welcome and dog walking area. Shop was good and the bar was also good, food was well priced. Two teenagers with us enjoyed the bmx ramps and pool. Walked into cheddar gorge for the caves and cliff top walk which was excellent! Although the walk was treacherous due to no pavements. Cheddar Gorge is superb. We did the caves, cliff top walk, museum, ate at the local pubs and drank the local cider. We went to nearby Burnham on sea beaches and took the dogs who were welcome everywhere. The places we visited were all clean, well run and great fun! It was ideal with two teenagers, with lots to do and see.
We would definitely stay at this site again, although it was £42 per night for our tent 4 of us and 2 dogs it included free showers, pool and EHU. We enjoyed the site and surrounding area so much we stayed an extra night.

Didn't get off to the greatest of starts as we arrived in the pouring rain and were allocated a pitch with a large tent already there despite the site appearing only half full.
Reception staff were really helpful and gave us a choice of a few other pitches after giving them the approx size of our tent (this was the first time use of a new tent- a 6-berth tunnel tent).
All the pitches suggested were really small but we picked the biggest and found that the tent only just fitted with little room to peg out guy ropes and no room at the front to add our sun canopy. Having wandered round the rest of the site during the stay this appeared to be the case for most of the pitches. Because of the terracing to level the pitch, the ground was rocky and extremely difficult to hammer in pegs - we wrecked nearly a bag full!
However, the site facilities were excellent with clean toilets and hot showers. Had fantastic weather for the rest of the week and made full use of the large play area with the kids and a very good pool. There were lots of interesting walks and a BMX track which looked great. Pretty central for beaches at Weston and Burnham and also Cheddar Gorge & the Mendips.
Enjoyed the stay but not sure if we would go back because of finding a big enough pitch for the tent but would recommend the site to anyone with a caravan or motor home.
We visited this site for two nights to try out our new caravan, not too far from home. The site is really easy to get to and well laid out. It is huge though and personally I don't think it would be my cup-of-tea at full capacity. We tried one of the new super-pitches, which was lovely because you had a grassed area in addition to your hardstanding area for your caravan, awning and car. Quite pricey though for low season at £52 for two nights (2 adults, 1 baby, 1 dog).
Being March it was fairly quiet, although they were showing the rugby in the bar area (can't comment as never went). Easy access to Cheddar and the Gorge and the other campers on site were really friendly.
We have just two niggles about this site really: really surprised to see there was no baby-bathroom, which for us is a massive issue and also there were kids repeatedly playing football and using bad language around the caravans (not their own I might add) and considering the site was quite empty, they could have found space to play in. But obviously this isn't the site's fault! I was also disappointed with the stock (or lack of) in the shop but again, it was low-season but not even any fresh milk. Quite a nice site, but we won't be rushing back there.
We have just returned from a 3 night stay at this camp site for the bank holiday weekend. I would give the site a 10/10 absolutely fantastic. Our party consisted of 5 adults one being a wheelchair user, 3 children under 5 years and two dogs. We had fantastic weather which is always a bonus. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The site was kept clean.
The only negative was the disabled shower was too cold but when you think how many people were at the site for the weekend I suppose this is to be expected.
We will definitely be back. I would recommend this site to anybody.
A little more expensive than most campsites but you are obviously paying for the facilities.
Great place, lovely surroundings and the people are very friendly. Toilets and showers are very clean and heated. There is loads to do on site as well as the surrounding areas, including theme parks zoo's cheddar gorge and caves which are breathtaking! The village of cheddar is only 5 mins away and is stunning Will definitely be returning in the near future excellent!
Great site great friendly staff made you feel in the holiday mood. Toilet / shower blocks smelt fresh every time you went in, very clean plenty of hot water & loo roll Bar / restaurant again greeted by friendly staff and the food was excellent, good choice and didn't have to wait long Lots to do for the kids, bmx & skateboard tracks, nature walks and parks to name but a few. A little bit on the pricey side but we enjoyed it and we will certainly be back and recommend to our friends.
