 A group of us stayed there for the bank holiday weekend. The site itself was well maintained and the owners were very helpful and friendly. The cheese tasting evening was excellent with locally produced (and better, cheaper cheese than Cheddar). Unfortunately though, having read some previous reviews about the toilet block and washing up facilities being updated before this summer, I was disappointed that the toilets and showers were still basic and there were not enough showers. The washing up facilities are still exposed to the elements too. A shelter would be ideal. The site is located next to a fairly busy A road but the traffic never kept any of us awake. Aside from that, it was a most enjoyable weekend.
The surrounding area is beautiful with lots to see and do. Cheddar Gorge and caves are close by, as is Wookey Hole and Longleat. All of which are fantastic days out for the whole family. There is also lots of fantastic countryside to explore.
There is a Morrisons supermarket about 15 mins away as well as a large Tesco in Shepton Mallett.

I and my motorcycling friends absolutely loved it. So much so that we are planning on getting a few friends together and returning next year. We only stayed overnight on our way up north from cornwall but we totally smitten with it.
The owners are very friendly and helpful, they couldn't do enough for us. The site is flat and plenty of space between pitches. Toilets / showers are basic but very functional, no complaints at all.
Food at the pub was excellent and normal beer prices at the bar. I really cant praise this site enough, in fact I hope no one else reads this and we keep it for ourselves!

Stayed at this site for a week. The toilet block is in need of updating but the shower is powerful and hot.There are plans in hand to sort out the block before next summer.
We were given a lovely welcome on arrival and when the plot allocated to us was not suitable for our tent they happily moved us.Even though in rained every day we were there,ground stayed firm and well drained.
The pub food was good and fairly priced, can recommend their surf and turf. Quiz night was a laugh and the atmosphere in the pub was always welcoming.
Play area was available for children. The village shops were just a short drive away.We found it very central to reach all the tourist spots Longleat, Chedder gorge, Wooky Hole and Bath etc. Talking of cheese the barmaid Amy's dad is a cheese maker and his cheese is as good if not better than Chedder's and a fraction of the price e.G. Garlic and herb from chedder £19-99 kilo Amy's dads £8- 98 kilo.Thanks All

Just spent our second night here and it is a very pleasant place to stay set in the countryside with easy access to the local shops with a co-op only 1 mile down the road.
The owners are very friendly and helpful and pitching up is easy as if no-one about just pitch up and sort it out later.
The site is along a main A road and it has a lot of traffic we are right next to it in pitch 18 the other pitches close to it are 17 and 16 but we were still able to get a good nights sleep.
It is very close and an ideal place to stay for local attractions like Wookey Hole, Chedder Caves and Longleat. The toilet block could be better but it is okay and there are 2 showers one for male and for female the site has a small play area for the children but its close to the road so they need to be supervised Overall a very nice place and a pleasant site.

Nice site, very clean, food so good you could have done it yourself. Very friendly. Grass kept short, good even surface, night lights around the site. Hosts treat you like a good friend. Very welcoming site.
Toilet / shower block was always clean and every toilet had soft paper whenever I visited.

just spent four days on site with a touring van while attending the BMF show at West Of England showground, the site is beautifully maintained and for those that want it very peaceful, showers and toilets clean and hot, the meals served in the Pub were beautiful and service efficient and friendly. I found the site ideal for visiting the surrounding area and the show ground.
The owners Wayne & Lynn, family and staff very friendly and helpful, ( even though I dug up Waynes grass with my motor mover sorry ) I will be returning as soon as possible. I have noted that on some reviews people complain about the size of toilet block etc ? if you want all singing and dancing facilities then by all means go and pay at least twice the site fees and put up with the noise and crowds and I will keep this lovely peaceful site to myself lol

Have recently stayed at this site again and have been impressed with the improvements.
Since our first stay, the toilet block has been re-painted & a sink for washing up has been installed. Talking with the owners, they plan to get a shelter built for it later this year to protect campers from the elements whilst washing up!
The menus have been updated again and the food was, as always, great.

We stayed at this site over the late May bank holiday weekend. The site was well-organised (notice board at the entrance with site details and information) and owners were friendly.
The pub nearby has reasonably priced food and the children enjoyed the pub's play area.
The ablution facilities seemed small (only 2 showers and 2 toilets for each sex) but we never had to queue. The loo rolls were not replaced for over 12 hours on our last night there, but otherwise clean and well-kept.
The closest large supermarkets are about 10-15min drive away.
Some of our neighbours were a bit noisy until about 11pm.
Otherwise lovely area and good site and reasonably priced.

We liked the location of this site. We liked the pitches & the freedom on this site. However, the toilet / shower block is in dire need of some TLC. Dirty, squalid showers with flooded floors, intermittent hot water, temperamental electricity supply, no hand soap or toilet roll.
They have built a washing up sink outside the toilets but this is in the open so affected by weather!
The children enjoyed the play area although some of the equipment is in need of modernisation.
This site was extremely close to the Royal Bath & West showground & a short drive from Cheddar, Street, Glastonbury & Longleat.
A nice site ruined by very poor toilet/shower facilities.
Castle Cary has an excellent Chinesese/ Fish Bar & convenience store. Sainsburys & Asda are located in nearby Frome.

Stayed here for it's convenience to the Bristol & West Showground at Shepton Mallett for the Bristol Classic Car Show, and what an excellent place it is!
The site is quite compact but there's sufficient space between the 22 level pitches. The toilets are adequate but the showers overflowed across the floor and into the wc's which wasn't ideal. There was nice hot water at the wash basins but sadly it was much cooler in the showers.
The site is immediately behind the pub where there's a good range of food although we didn't eat there. The real ale, Butcombe Bitter, was in such good order that I had to try an extra one to be sure!
The station is about ½ mile away and a path from here leads up a stiff climb to the village. Yes trains can be heard in the distance but not as much as the road outside. That said neither really bothered us, however the Chiffchaff chirping away above our van from first light was starting to get tedious! This was compensated by a long staying Buzzard opposite the garage and two Little Egrets that flew overhead.
All in all a great site and one we would certainly use again.
