 Stayed just one night in two smallish tents with 3 children 3-13. No complaints whatsoever. A beautiful spot and a very well-run site.
The shop is not expensive and carries a wide-selection of food and camping accessories.
The Queen Vic is a great local and no sign of Barbara Windsor!

Very nice campsite, good facilities, good shop, clean, good flat pitches. Great views, good location, but. Despite having childrens play facilities, this was probably the most child un-friendly campsite we have ever stayed on. Normal (boisterous) children running around were NOT tolerated. We won't be returning. In fact, we haven't renewed our membership of the Camping and Caravanning Club partly based on this experience.

We visited over Easter and had every type of weather imaginable. Fog as we arrived, snow on Easter Sunday, howling gales, Hail and brilliant sunshine!
The site is easy to find but some of the approaches are difficult, like coming up through Cheddar Gorge, Not recomended. Its at one of the highest points on the Mendip Hills and has lovely views from anywhere on the site which is slightly sloping with a mix of basic pitches, Electric Hookups and Hardstandings. There is a motorhome service point at the toilet block (Not state of the art like some club sites but clean, warm and plentiful with two mother and baby rooms, inside and outside dishwashing and a laundry) and a playground at the far end of the site. The reception has everything you need, including fresh baked bread and pastries and 'Priddy good beef' from the local farm shop. Priddy is about 3/4 mile downhill and has two pubs. We visited the Queen Victoria, They also serve 'Priddy good beef' and have three open wood fires. It was manic at Easter as there is a lot of 'Horsey' activity on the Sunday.
Turn left out of the site and left at the end of the road and it's straight into Cheddar Gorge, about 5 1/2 miles. Loads of tourist attractions; Caves, shops, cheese factory etc. The area between priddy and the tourist bit is the most spectacular.
Wells is the nearest City. It's tiny and quaint with a rural Market.
Weston super Mare and Burnham on Sea are a short drive away. If you're not towing and have satnav you can go the back way, over mendip and missing Cheddar and the motorway junction.
Equally close are Glastonbury and Street with the Clarks Outlet village for bargain shopping.

Just returned after 10 days there, busy with the C&CC Area Meet there for the Priddy Fireworks Display, but stayed for the Bridgewater Guy Fawkes Carnival.
A quiet and 'tranquil' site not best suited to children, ideal for those not wanting a football against your pride and joy (Tent or Caravan).
Toilets perfectly kept, on-site shop has (really good) local meat and bread etc.
The site is not well lit; main lights on toilet block, which makes it ideal for Star Gazing from the picnic tables in the bottom of Tenting field(ideal for a Cassegrain Telescope set on the table)

This is quite a local site for us, so an easy getaway for the weekend. The surrounding countryside is stunning and steeped in history. Cheddar, the lovely city of Wells, Glastonbury and the Somerset Levels are all within half an hour's drive.
There are two very good pubs about half a mile's level(ish) walk from the site. Both are really good and very friendly.
Village events include a sheep race (not to be confused with the annual sheep fair). The sheep race was great fun and highly recommended.
Nice site. Staff friendly. Good facilities. Going back next weekend for the fifth time this year!

We have just returned from 14 night s on this site !.
What can I say? the toilet & shower block were always clean and I even saw one of the wardens mopping them out at 10pm on a Saturday night!. There is a parent and child room with 2 toilets and 2 showers which was excellent.
The wardens were friendly and helpful and worked hard to keep the site clean and tidy, the bins emptied and the grass cut.
The site shop sells most things including those lovely pastries baked every day and the farm shop down the road sells veggies, meat and dairy as well.
We had some rain the middle weekend which was fine for us as we were on a hard standing pitch but not so much fun for those in tents on the grass, but I believe the pitches dried out quite fast.
The pub in the village the Queen Victoria is an old fashioned pub which sells good home made food and local cider of course. There is another pub the New Inn but we did not visit this one though I did speak to someone from the site who had been and they said it was good.
We had a lovely time at this site and hopefully we will be returning.

The campsite is located in the small village of Priddy - about 4 miles away from the Gorge itself. Its a very well presented campsite with all mod cons. Family shower rooms are a notable bonus. Showers and toilets are very clean. Shop is well stocked and quite reasonably priced. There is even Wi-Fi access if you need to stay "connected". A basic children's play area is available offering a couple of swings and a slide. The staff are very friendly and very helpful.
The only downsides I can think of are the pitches are a little close to each other and the pitches tend to be on a slope. Would have been nice to have carved out some flat pitches into the slope.
But all in all a very relaxing time. The location is very convenient to get about and see the sights. Cheddar itself being the highlight for me.
Well worth a visit and enough to keep the kids happy.

This campsite is in an ideal position, shame about everything else. All the toilets and showers are shut between 11.00 - 12.30 everyday, seems a bit long to us. One poor couple, who were in a tent and had upset tummys, had real problems between these hours and the site managers would not budge. We felt it made more sense to stagger the times they close the loos.
The shop was only open between 9 - 10 in the morning and 4 - 6 in the evening. This site is in the middle of nowhere it would help if they open a little longer. Finally, our main problem was this site is definite NOT child friendly.
They do have a park, but there is nowhere for the kids to run around or play badminton or football. The park was supposed to be closed at 9.30pm but the site manager told the children they were being too noisy one evening and to go back the their caravans / tents. It was 8.45.

This is a quiet, well looked after site ran by people who obviously take the time to make campers welcome. Toilets and showers in good nick, and kept clean. Great pub (top beer) ten minutes walk away and loads of places to visit within half hour drive - Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury, Wells and Wookey hole.
The site used to have its own website which gave a really good impression of how the site is. They now have a caravan club web page instead which lacks the pictures and info contained in the previous site.
Still, I wouldnt worry about that - highly recommended!

Tried this site for a quick weekend trip with the boys.
If you are after somewhere quiet, this is the site for you. the owners are friendly (didn't mind that we were late leaving as we were trying to work out the new tent bag), facilities amazingly clean (for a deposit you get a key giving you access to the family room if you have small children- much easier), and the barrier limits 'visitors'.
The site does slope slightly, but not enough for it to have made any difference.
The play area is small, but has great views of all the animals in the neighbouring farm, and has enough to keep them amused.
Nearby attractions include Cheddar, Glastonbury and Wells, all of which are worth a visit.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a quiet break.

Good points: toilets clean and warm; plenty of hot water; very nice mother and child toilets - one with a changing table, the other with two toilets and two showers (for these you need a key, no extra charge but a £5 deposit); children's play area; and the ground was stone-free where we pitched.
Bad points: our pitch was not very level and we had to put our tent right on the end where it wasn't too bad; and we were against the hedge by the road, which though quiet did have some traffic late at night and in the morning.

This is a rural site in a lovely area. The facilities have all been recently refurbished as it is under the C&CC now and they are immaculate. We particularly liked the family shower/bathroom having 2 under-5s. The tent area is mainly sloping so pitch carefully, a bit of tweaking over where you put your tent makes quite a difference. Very peaceful at night even though it was fully booked in the school hols - probably to do with considerate-minded parents, which was nice to see. There is lots to do in the area, Cheddar Gorge, Wells, Glastonbury and very good for walkers, lots of footpaths. The owners bake pastries and bread every day (with the exception of Wednesdays) and these quickly became a habit! Priddy village is half-a-mile away with 2 pubs, would recommend the New Inn. Will definitly return.

What can we say, Fantastic site, superb location, A quick drive to cheddar, Wells, Bath, Western super-mare, the wardens even saved us 2 pitches together as we were going with friends, Toilet block was absolutely spotless! Excellent play area for children, and plenty of electric points around. Nicely laid out pitches so you didn't feel overcrowded even though the site was full, We are aiming to return next year and this will definitely be in our favourites list! We would also like to mention how extremely helpful the wardens were, They couldn't do enough for us and really were a testament to the logo "the friendly club".

Just arrived back home today after staying at this site, the first time camping for my wife and two boys and we all had a great time.
We couldnt fault the site at all and my wife (who only came at the last minute to avoid staying at home alone) is now a convert to camping.

A group of four of us with two tents stayed over May bank holiday week (rubbish weather). First impressions good, as name suggests, the site is on top of the Mendips so can be a bit exposed to the elements.
Faciliites at the site are very good, the shower blocks are very clean (free showers). Only two showers in each block though but wasn't much of a problem. The shower blocks close at 11:00am for an hour or so for cleaning.
Well stocked shop with fresh baked bread and pastries...not too expensive either, no papers though and it doesn't open until 8:30am. Village of Priddy is a ten minute walk with two pubs, one realy nice with open log fires, which is tucked away round the corner from the other (but worth the extra 1 min walk!...and I'd recommend the Mendip Magic......cider.....6%....)
The campsite is slap bang between Wells and Cheddar with the Gorge a pleasant 10 min car ride away. Glastonbury isn't far away either and there is a medium sized Tesco in Wells! I'd imagine this would be a brilliant stop if you could guarantee the weather but our stay was spoilt a little by the wind, rain and fog.....and the cow with a hernia in the next field.
