We really enjoyed our stay at Petruth. It has great facilities, it is well maintained and kept clean at all times. The fields are large with plenty of space between pitches and the views of the hills and the sunsets make it quite picturesque. On top of all that, the staff we met were friendly and helpful, and we can't wait to return :-)

Super friendly host, really felt welcome. Really clean, lovely shower and toilet block. Nice coffee and breakfast on site (also do other food on the evening too). Walking distance to Cheddar (not on busy roads). So pubs, restaurants and activities close by. Will 100% be back. Great little find!
Great first time with my partner and dog

This was the first time camping since I was a child and took my partner and dog, both of which have never been camping (no pressure to set the tone). We arrived roughly when we said we would, we were met by a lady who was super kind and helpful and told me everything I might need to know. I requested a quiet pitch as it's the first time with my dog and wasn't too sure how he would react to it, she spoke to a man who I believe was possibly the owner/manager about finding us a good pitch and he said he knew just the spot for us. He showed us to our pitch, which was nice and tucked away. As we were setting up, some of the guys came around with the fire pits and logs, which we purchased. Again, super friendly and helpful! Everyone at the site was friendly and we had a great time. Will 100% be coming back and recommending to friends and family!

Had a good week, weather wasn't the best, but all facilities were well looked after and the location gave us access to plenty of places.

A lovely friendly site. They've thought of everything, excellent toilet and shower facilities, spotlessly clean. They have thought of every detail, even shelves & hooks in showers and by mirror in toilets. Little on site shop has everything you need including beer and cider. There's a lovely little brewery next door. Only 10 mins walk into the town and 20 mins to the gorge itself. Lots of space between pitches. Very well organised campsite.
Amazing one night stay

Great site, booked on the day. Great takeaway Thai and burgers etc. Shop a bit limited but Cheddar is only twenty min walk through a cycle track. Car boot next door. Big pitches. Mobile ice cream van goes around. Fire pits with logs to hire. Will return.

Staff were amazing already to help and made you very welcome. Well situated site, 10 min walk from Cheddar. Good clean toilet facilities, but did queue for showers due to a full site over bank holiday weekend. Pitches, well, very big. They say it's a free range site and I don't think you could it explain it any better, the kids just run around and play even well behaved dogs can just chill off leads. Food vans on site, good quality but breakfast's a bit pricey.

We came with family and friends. It was our first time but they have been before. What a clean and well-looked-after site, our toilets and shower cubicles were kept really clean. Will be returning with them again next year.

Can't say enough to compliment the place and staff our stay was amazing, the kids loved it. There's plenty to do around the area within walking distance and driving for only about 20 mins takes you to Wooky Hole, which was great value. Food on site every day for breakfast and the Friday and sat night was pizza and burgers which were great. From our arrival to our departure you could see how well run this place is. Once again staff were amazing.

First time on a campsite. Hired a motorhome and was impressed with the site. Jules was brilliant with the kids, driving them around for a bit of fun.

Nice, friendly campsite. Fairly large but spread across different fields, so doesn't feel too busy. Very convenient for visiting Cheddar.

We had a 2 night stay in a quiet field, which was super lovely. Especially enjoyed the Cheddar Ales Brewery & Tap House, just 5 mins thru the gate! Loved that Jules the owner was out on his bike checking we were ok & the fire pit truck visiting!

It's a really nice campsite, and staff are very helpful. There is breakfast in the mornings, burgers in evenings, pizza on Fridays - even a classic car show on Sunday morning that has things for kids to do as well. It's only 5 min walk into Cheddar and have everything you need not far away. The firepits are a really nice idea and even provide firewood as well.

Great location for exploring the area, efficient check in, very friendly, fantastic. Thai food from van on site, great facilities - clean and fresh. Fire pits available and they deliver to your pitch. No problem too big, they helped fix my awning and towed us out when we were stuck in the mud! Would highly recommend staying.

That's what we like to hear! It's certainly been a wet start to the year - glad we were able to assist Hope to welcome you back soon, Jules and the team.
