Swallow Barn Farm Camping Reviews

Nice site close to Cheddar gorge

Chosen this site as close to Cheddar gorge at a reasonable price. There are sites closer to Cheddar but were charging extortionate prices. This was a nice field, lovely views and plenty of space. Owners leave you to it to enjoy your time there. Close to a pub and a petrol station/shop.

Thank you so much for a wonderful review. So pleased you enjoyed your stay.

Accurate listing, photos and descriptions

This large field is all you need for pitching your tent. Fairly level field, a sink with cold water tap and a portaloo on site. Lovely view over the Bristol channel.

Nice, relaxed, basic site

If you are after a basic, open plan site with great views, and are happy with just 2 portaloos and a sink, then this is highly recommended. Great pub a short walk away too. Dog friendly with good walks straight from the site. We will be back next year.

Our stay

Lovely friendly site, clean and tidy. Surrounded by beautiful walks and a great local pub. Our second stay here, we will be back to stay again. Very good value for money.

Nice and quiet site, lovely views.

Great campsite if you want to be quiet

Perfect location if you'd like to visit cheddar George and have nice walks with your dog. The field is big enough to keep our tent separate from the rest.

A wonderful, tranquil spot

I was lucky enough to have the whole site to myself and felt utterly blessed. A stunning view to the east and the sounds of birdsong and the farm. Perfection.

Peaceful, cheap and great views

Stopped here for one night on our return travels. Fantastic little spot with great views all around of the Mendips. Peace and quiet and cheap with basic facilities no problem as we had a motorhome and didn't require anything else. Lovely guy that greeted us on arrival and even cut the grass before we picked a spot to park. Couldn't ask for more for that money. Great country pub just a couple of minutes walk away. Best nights sleep we have had in ages.

Simple delight

A field with a view, close to a pub, near great walking countryside but handy for the A38 and access to Bristol and South. Super, simple off grid camping...a delight.

Beautiful and convenient

Lovely, well kept grass field with very basic amenities. Almost 'wild' camping. Lovely location and very near to Cheddar and the rest of beautiful Somerset.

Thank you for your review and so pleased you had a nice stay.

Lovely site

Lovely site, amazing views, cracking pub a 2 minute walk away. It is a basic site. It has toilets and fresh water, and it is also on a slight slope. This is more than made up be the incredible views, the peace and quiet. Loads of interesting walks across the road and a very nice pub a 2 minute walk across the campsite. Would definitely stay there again.

Basic, quiet and blissful

This is a beautiful spot with far-reaching views. Very basic facilities, but well presented. Great pub a few steps down the road.

Thank you for your review, glad you got to enjoy the pub and the views.

Basically wild camping

Was just a field, most of which was on a slope. Email said to check in on arrival, yet there wasn't anyone around to speak to. We were asked by couple of people about seeing the owners, but just advised them to call like we did. I think that as it is just a field and portaloo, the site should be a little less, as many other sites nearby are £1-£5 more and offer a lot of facilities. I think this place is new to offering camping and it did the job. We enjoy wild camping and this was basically the same. Wouldn't come back but did enjoy ourselves, so thank you.

Thank you for your feedback, it really helps. Apologies that nobody was around, we have signs with our numbers on but I understand it's always nicer to talk to someone in person, thank you for staying with us.

Super little campsite with amazing views and surrounding countryside

A hidden gem. This was just what I was looking for - the views over the Bristol Channel and surrounding Mendip hills were stunning. Facilities are all you need for a night or two away. A large field with plenty of space for people to not camp on top of one another. Friendly farmer asking for feedback on my way out. Fellow campers were all cool. There's a great pub a short walk away, with a good selection of fish and plant based meals. My dinner was lush, and prices were reasonable for the quality. Lots of footpaths to wander from the campsite, with ravens and buzzards soaring overhead. Sadly I slept in so missed sunrise which I bet was lovely. You can hear traffic from down in the valley so if you're a light sleeper earplugs might be a good idea. As a solo camper I felt very safe. I'd definitely go back if visiting Somerset again.
