We spent a week at this lovely site. The entrance was not well sign posted as we drove past the entrance and had to turn around - the Sat Nav didn't help matters either! We arrived earlier than you were supposed to but the staff were very helpful in letting us pitch - if it had been in peak period we would have not been able to do this but top marks for their help.
The site is well laid out with large level pitches. The toilets and facilities were immaculate, the only negative is that the toilets are closed from 1030 - 1200 for cleaning so if you wanted to shower you would have to get there early. I did notice when we left, the disabled toilet was opened for use whilst the main toilets were being cleaned.
Cheddar is a beautiful village / town, there is a wonderful pub called the Riverside - which offers superb food, choice of beverages and welcoming staff. Whilst we were there, they did a Steak night on Sun / Mon evenings - 2 steaks with a bottle of wine per couple for £20 - you can double the size of your steak for only £2.50 extra which we did! In fact the food was so good we ate there on 2 other occasions, choosing from their credit crunch menu of 2 meals for £12. Very good value for money.
The fish and chip shop in the heart of the village near the caves serves some of the best fish and chips we have ever tasted and if you ask for large you get LARGE.
The village itself offers something for everyone, from the caves to museums to cider shops to cheese tasting! The Cheddar Cheese Company shop is well worth a visit - you can even see Cheese being made for a small fee - they have about 20 different cheeses to sample and buy in the shop as well as some locally produced preserves.
Apart from Cheddar, there is a whole host of places to go and things to do. We visited Wookey Hole Caves and Clarks shopping village in Street as well as a day out in Weston-Super-Mare, which has the potential to have a fantastic sea front when all the renovations have been completed. Unfortunately on our visit the whole sea front was a work site. The shopping centre is very good but as for the Weston Wheel - my hamster had a bigger one! Haha!
All in all we had a great time even if the weather let us down at times - we would go again and use this site.
Lovely site, we arrived early afternoon, and only had the choice of two pitches. The site operates a first come, first pick basis. All pitches are in a good position, but the pitches on the right when you drive in, back on to the sports ground and the noise from the games can be loud on an afternoon, also there was some loud shouting late one evening coming from the bar which is situated in the sports club area. None of this was a problem, it was just one evening at closing time.
When you arrive somebody has to stay in the vehicle, my husband booked us in, but I decided to pop my head in and was told quite sternly to stay with my vehicle, this is due to having a small entrance and waiting area, so I understood the reason why. This wasn't from the wardens who are lovely and friendly, but another member of staff.
The site is lovely, seems very new, all pitches are hard standing, they seemed to stop using the grass pitches in the winter but may use them during summer. The toilet and shower blocks were spotless, always stocked up, four showers, plenty of toilets and hand basin's. You will need a key to get in which is given to you when you book in.
There is only one gripe I had, which was that they closed the toilet block at 10.30am to 12 noon to clean, I thought this was far to early, if the site is full, you have to be up at the crack of dawn to get a shower in before they shut.
There isn't much of a shop, but I think they are building up to this. The site is digital and have aerial points but you will need either a digital box or a TV with it in to watch TV.
The site is situated in a good position and is within easy walking distance of the town. There is a lovely pub, which is the first one you will see, it does a lovely Sunday carvery, a good menu selection and allows dogs in to the bar area, which was great for us with our two.
The tourist part of the town is a further walk, but there you will find plenty of eating places, take always and tourist shops. Cheddar is very dog friendly, you can take them down in to the caves, and all other tourist spots. The Tiny Tea Room opposite the caves is worth a visit, it is very small hence the name, but they have an incredible menu, and do the most wonderful deserts.
The caves are worth a visit, It is £17 to get in, but this is the price for all the caves in the area, museums, the tower walk and open top bus tour, the good thing about this is that if the weather is not good, you have 10 years to use the rest of the ticket and complete the attractions.
I would say to do your shopping before you arrive, there is a Budgens and Tesco Express, but both are small and expensive and don't offer a huge selection, the nearest supermarket is in Weston Super Mare. This was a lovely break, lovely site and a great place to visit and I would definitely go back and stay again.
A pleasant little site within walking distance of Cheddar village with useful shops such as Tescos and Budgens. We were welcomed on site by very cheerful wardens and allowed to chose where we wanted to park.
The site facilities were spotlessly clean but let down by the cramped shower cubicles - not what I usually expect from the Caravan Club. The site is quite quiet and one night we enjoyed listening to bell ringing practice from the nearby church. There were some young children staying on the park but I didn't see anywhere for them to play.
We visited the Cheddar Caves and although, very interesting we thought the entrance fee was excessive(£17.00 per adult less club discount)for what there was to see. Would recommend driving up to Tyntesfield for the day though.
All you expect from a Caravan Club site and lovely and close to Cheddar with all its amenities and would love to return. However there were no hardstandings left when we arrived, only about 3pm, and as it has been raining for some days we were concerned as we had to pitch on grass in the centre. As well as not having any privacy we made a very good imprint onto the ground when we left after 2 nights.
Only stayed one night on this site but found it very clean & tidy and Wardens very friendly. Walked into the village via the bridge (in the dark) as suggested by the Warden as he told us the road way could be dangerous for pedestrians. Decided to walk back via the road as we were not happy with the isolation of the foot paths We had a meal at the Bath Arms Hotel-not to be recommended and the toilets were a disgrace. We would stay on this site again but not so late in the season.
Well maintained facilities including hot showers, toilets, washing up sinks and numerous water taps! Start the day with a delicious breakfast bap and tea / coffee onsite before venturing out to the famous Cheddar Gorge, only five minutes away! Lovely dog walks direct from the site.

Just returned from a 3 night stay and we loved it!The site itself is up to the usual high CC standards and as has already been mentioned,is only a short walk into the town(Turn left out of site and over bridge,not right back towards the road!).
If you get the choice,try and pitch up over the far side of the site(over to the right,away from the site office).Firstly, that'll give you views of the gorge and secondly, Cheddar FC / clubhouse is behind the Site Office (it was a little noisy on the Saturday night during our visit).
Very impressed with Cheddar,loads of interesting shops and places to eat / drink etc.Don't be tempted to drive up through the gorge without checking it out on foot first,as it is quite narrow in places(.There's cars parked all over the place in the town anyway!).
Just to say that if you decide to walk the gorge trail along the top of the gorge,for the first 20mins or so the view is restricted,as it's amongst trees/bushes etc(it is also very uneven / stoney underfoot)but it's worth carrying on as the view from the top is breathtaking!
This was our second visit to this members only site. Be advised, make a wide swing as you drive in. The entrance gate is sharp left, not the one you see first. This is a nice if unspectacular little site. Fairly flat and open not much privacy. However it was kept in amazing condition. The shower block was always spotless. Credit to the wardens who were a lovely couple and very helpful. The shower cubicles are tiny. I didn't see a play area or space for ball games so might not suit families with kids. Site seems to be quiet, we were treated to bell ringing practice one evening which was good. Cheddar village is nice. The church is worth a visit. There is a butcher/greengrocer, a Budgens store and Tesco express. There appears to be plenty of places to have a drink or a meal. Make a point of walking up the Gorge, it's not far but very well worth the effort with plenty of eating places and souvenir shops. Go past these and it gets really good. Tyntesfield is lovely. If you visit Weston-Super-Mare, stick to the front and old part, don't bother with the town centre. We will certainly be going back next year to do some walking. All in all this is a nice site, you can even hear the sea-lions at night.
Large pitches, especially the hardstanding pitches. Barrier card system in and out and keys to the toilet blocks (handed out on booking in). Lovely toilet/shower block - pristine 24-7 - showers are pretty small though! Separate laundry room and washing up room, again both spotless at all times. Minimal re-cycling - glass only on site.
The site offer cream teas (take away) and discounts off tickets into the caves.
Easy walk into the village with it's array of shops and eating and drinking houses. Plenty of doggie friendly places to eat and drink too. Can recommend The Galleries for its cider alone (!) and the Riverside for its bar food (£10 for two meals served between 10am - 7pm!).
Hoping to go back at Easter for a longer stay this time.
Had a 2 night stay at this site and it was lovely. The owners were very friendly and helpful.
The facilities were lovely and clean, you couldn't fault them.
The site is very close to the village centre by a short walk over the bridge. We did go the road way at first because we weren't aware of the bridge and this was very difficult as there is no pavement in places and it is on corners.
Visited the Caves and Gorge, which was very interesting. You can purchase tickets from the site reception at a discounted cost. However, we bought them from the main office in the village and were still given a discount as we mentioned that we were caravan club members.
We had a meal in the evening at the local indian restaurant, which was very nice. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from.
The site is really good for access to the Gorge, which is within walking distance. Access to site is a one vehicle track, however you have to depart by 12 noon and cannot access the site till after 1pm therefore the narrow lane will not be a problem. The owner was quite rude both to myself and my parents on arrival, we had been routed by our sat nav through Bristol. She got out the Caravan Club book and waived it around very close to our faces telling us to READ the book!, she also told my child of 12 'what do you want' when he went in the shop, then got angry with me as the iron stopped working and when I went to tell her, she abrupt and rude. However I would return to this site because of its wonderful location.
