 A group of us headed out for our annual adults only weekend of camping and decided that this site would fit the bill.
Arrived at lunch time on a Friday that signaled the start of our summer proper and drove into a field that was idyllic. Surrounded by fields and total, utter peace. Pitched next to a water point and were promptly welcomed by the owner who found time for a bit of a chat. Sat and drank in the scenery as well as several G+Ts. Just about perfect in terms of setting and ability to pitch a tent where you want to not where you have to. A huge and pleasant surprise was to find a camp site that allowed camp fires! Was awesome laying next to the fire giggling away and watching the satellites race overhead.
The price of our stay was mega cheap but this was reflected in the lack of toilet facilities. Once the camp filled up with D of E children there was regularly queues to relive oneself. The addition of another toilet block in the top field would greatly raise the appeal of the sight. There isn't any showering facilities however there is an agreement to use the local leisure centre's which for a trifling fee was excellent.
The site is situated just on the outskirts of Cheddar but was suitably close enough to be able to walk into the gorge. It was also a short walk to the local Tesco for provisions.
I'd happily return to the site again though, had a thoroughly relaxing and happy weekend. To me this is what camping is- no electric, no creature comforts. Just good times and good company!

This is a really lovely site with fantastic views of the Mendip Hills and Cheddar Gorge.
We have visited the site a number of times and it has such a pleasant, relaxed and very friendly atmosphere. With loads of space for everyone, in around 30 acres of well maintained land. The ideal place to just relax and take in the scenery.
Cheddar Gorge is just up the road so a great location for sightseeing. We plan to camp here with friends soon and look forward to lighting a camp fire, soak up the peace and beautiful scenery for a very relaxing weekend away from it all.

This site was good, the owner was very friendly & gave both my boys a ride on his quad bike which they thought was fab, the tyre swing is a great idea for kids, could do with more play things but I think all parents want more entertainment for there kids :). We were on the upper field so had a long trek to the toilets which was not a nice experience especially at night ( it was a weekend of rain for us too) & also one toilet is not enough for both fields. For the price that is paid I would like somewhere where we could wash our plates & cutlery & maybe showers :) there are taps around the site for drinking water which is handy :). We had a nice time regardless of the weather & we loved the fact that open fires & BBQs are allowed. The location was great & it was quiet too. Recommended :). I've no complaints about the customer service which was fantastic from booking up to leaving :)

A fantastic camp site for those looking for 'proper' camping. Great location, within walking distance of the Gorge and a variety of pubs and supermarkets etc. Extremely friendly staff who kept coming round throughout the day to check if we were ok and if we needed anything. They will help with anything they can, our airbed pump wouldn't work but Jules was more than happy to fix it!
Would definitely return and encourage others to visit too. Thanks for a great stay!

I've stayed here several times over the years and we go family camping with our friends. Group of up to 10 tents.
It is basically two big fields with a small terrapin toilet block in one of them.
For us it is ideal. Plenty of space for us and for the kids to run around. Being able to have a fire straight on the ground (rather than a raised up fire pit) is great as it's warmer and easier for cooking. The wood is reasonably priced.
The only negative I could give is that the toilets could do with updating. They are not a mess, just getting old. The combination lock on the door was sticky making it difficult for my younger children to open the door. It did need an adult or a teenager to open the toilet door.
The location is perfect. Easy to find and a 20 - 30 min stroll (with young kids) in to Cheddar Gorge.
The owner is very friendly and easy going. Nice bloke and has been known to join us at the camp fire for a beer.
In summary a no frills very basic campsite, in a good location with plenty of space, friendly owner you can have a fire.
What more do you need.

This was the perfect site for getting away and enjoying some peace and quiet without any disturbance.
The owners were really friendly and greeted us as we arrived but once we were there they left us to ourselves and did not disturb us. Everything is managed in a very relaxed manner and informally.
We had a roaring fire, the owners even sold us firewood, we took advantage of the electrical hook up and the owner was kind enough to let us let off a few fireworks in the evening although I must stress we did this with his permission and with the permission of all other campers on site at the time.
The facilities themselves were a little bit basic although I have been informed by the owner that new toilets have been put in.
I would definitely recommend this site to anyone who likes to camp away from the glaring eye of unnecessarily nosy owners and just wants a laid back uninterrupted time.

This is a lovely campsite for views of the mendip hills and surrounding area, there is minimal traffic noise and just the sound of sheep in the neighbouring fields. The owner was more than helpful with local information and was ready to show us to our pitch even at 8. 30 in the morning! there are basic toilets and water points but no showers, these would complete the site although it wasn't a problem as we were only staying for the weekend.
The only down point though not a major problem is the grass was very long and could do with a cut but we knew that this was going to be a back to basics site when we booked it. Someone comes around with wood for your fire two or three times a night and all at a good price. It is a relaxed site where campers can pretty much get on and do what they like within reason and if we would return to the area then would also return to this site.

Stayed here for two nights over the bank holiday, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Warm and friendly greeting by the owner, made us feel very welcome. We were given a brochure which they had produced, giving an outline of facilities, do's and don't's, nearby attractions, supermarkets, takeaways etc. Which we found very handy. Some of the local businesses even offered a discount with the brochure - which was great! Small park for the children just opposite the campsite.
Toilet facilities were clean and well presented. Would have been nice to have showers, however we knew they didn't have them before going, and the owners checked that we knew that before going. Lots to do in the area, lovely location, and will definitely go again.

My girlfriend and I stayed here in August for the weekend and had a wonderful time. The owners of the site are diamonds and cant do enough to make sure you have a great stay. The site is surrounded by beautiful views whilst only being a ten minute walk into cheddar.
Its a real back to basics site where camp fires are encouraged rather than frowned on and we had a great time of an evening sat round the fire toasting our munchies and supping a few cold ones. There is a toilet block for the sole use of tent users but there are no showers on site. This didn't bother us in the slightest as we just boiled up some water on the fire and washed in the tents spare bedroom.
Although we travelled from the north of england to this site, we had the best time and will definitely be returning again.

This was the first time I had been to this campsite, I was a little surprised at first as there was only a toilet block on site, but they were very clean and tidy. I found it to be a very laid back and pleasant place with plenty of room between other tents and for my son to play.
There were plenty of shops nearby, they were within walking distance, as were the restaurants, which was nice as I didn't have to keep taking the car all the time. It was lovely to hear and seethe horses behind the tent as we love horses.
My son wanted a campfire on the last night and they were very helpful in dealing with this as they do encourage camfire's, we like camping the way it used to be and this offer just that.
We will definitely be visiting this campsite again in the near future.

We only stayed for 1 night, but had a very enjoyable visit! Lovely large field, not too overcrowded and we had a choice of where to pitch. We had 5 tents full in total and managed to set up a great area.
Being able to light our own campfire was great and I would highly recommend buying the sacks of logs from Jules - we bought 2 sacks which was plenty enough! Lovely walk into Cheddar from the site, easy to find and great little shops to look in.
Don't bother going to the Bath Arms Pub, service and food was Awful! Definitely worth the extra 10 minute walk to find a decent pub.
Very basic toilet block, only 1 toilet was working, and a very small sink, but Jules did prepare us for this.
Jules is a fab host, and always replied to my emails very efficiently!
Apart from the huge thunder and lightening storm at 4am (typical english weather in August!) Overall we all had a great time.

We arrived a day or two after the 'rains' had finished so the tent field needed a cut and was a bit soft in places.
However what a beautiful location, look one way and you have the fields and droves of the Somerset levels, look the other way and you have the Gorge and Mendip hills. Cheddar is about 10-15 min walk away.
We had a great time (Me and my som) cycling, walking, caving, then back to the campsite for a relaxing evening infront of the fire.
Lastly the owners were friendly and helpful.

Excellent site. Well within walking distance to Cheddar and Cheddar Gorge. Very friendly staff. It was nice and unusual to have the option of being able to have a bonfire, we did not this time but will next.
We were able to enjoy the other campers fires at night. It would have been nice to have a toilet block nearer but the one available was very clean.
The site information did very clearly state that there were only toilets.
But it would be nice to have showers and a place to wash up cooking pots etc.

Returned from this site yesterday and had a lovely time.
However despite a pre warning phone call there was no one to greet us and we ended up in the rally field. Two children informed us of our mistake and we found our way up to the right place. The field was large, and the ground was great for pitching. The boys with us, enjoyed the army jeep to climb on, the rope swing and having a ride on Julian's quad. The girl with us was disappointed there was no sign of any pony rides though.
We were informed of the code for the toilets over the phone and met in the evening. Everyone we met were friendly and helpful.
The walk into cheddar was an easy 10 minutes along a footpath away from any roads.
Two downsides; toilets were a very long, muddy walk from the camping field and very basic. Only two toilets for each sex and the door was so heavy the 9 yr old had to accompanied every time just to get in and out. Also the site is very close to industrial units and I was woken by their machinery quite early each morning

Thankyou for a pleasant stay. We found the veiws of the surrounding area peaceful. Our 7 year old daughter enjoyed the tyre swing, which we thought was a nice touch.
The local advice to take the pedestrian route into Cheddar town centre was really appreciated.
As we toured Somerset and Devon, we stayed on various sites and found that most included the price of hook up in the overnight stay.
At the price you were asking it would have been nice to have been able to use the toilet block.
We appreciate that the location of your site dictates the price you are able to ask.
Thankyou for a lovely, friendly welcome and continuing concern that we had what we needed,
