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.

Thanks to Jules, Sandra and the super friendly team who helped make our stay so super chilled and a real release getaway from the everyday. Surrounded by green hills and a big sky above. So quiet and peaceful at night, and bustling with happy campers and children by day. Easy access to Cheddar Gorge and the caves attraction. Lovely bike rides from camp. Our dog really enjoyed free roaming too. Highly recommend this lovely site.

Bank holiday weekend madness

Although I only used it as a nighttime base, I found the site very clean and the owners and staff really friendly (what little contact I had with them all!) will definitely stay again, as it’s a handy place for a hobby of mine!

Great location for visiting Cheddar Gorge

Great place, easy access and good location for visiting all that Somerset and Bristol have to offer. Toilets and showers immaculately clean. Great fun for kids and dogs very welcome. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Take a torch as it's pitch black at night - just perfect for star gazing. Highly recommended!

Helpful staff, great site

Very friendly staff to greet you on arrival, location is great and the site is very spacious. The toilet/shower facilities feel slightly cheap compared to other places we have stayed.

Nice and quite which is what we were hoping for

Could have been a little cheaper as you also had electric to add on to the cost on arrival. It was very hot when we arrived and one of the staff at check in went out of their way to get a bowl of water for our dog which I thought was nice. All staff we met were very friendly. Shower and toilets were clean and tidy.

Nice, clean and very friendly

Brilliant site. We went for a spontaneous night away camping for me, my wife and young daughter. As soon as we arrived the service was great and we were escorted to our pitch and made to feel really welcome which for such a big site is so reassuring. Pitches were all nice and spaced out, and even though it was busy, it didn't feel like it at all Great facilities with toilet and showers and also brilliant breakfast and coffee stands. Also the fire pits were perfect for cooking our marshmallows on. Can't wait to stay again next year.

Busy yet friendly

It was the busiest, yet friendliest, site I have ever stayed on. Good atmosphere, great for families and groups. Staff were really helpful. We were there over August bank holiday and staff worked incredibly hard to make it work smoothly. Congratulations to the team at Petruth!

Small Tent - Non-Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

My partner and I stayed at the campsite for two nights and enjoyed every minute. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival, ushered into our pitch and explained where everything was. The campsite is in a quiet location, close to Cheddar Gorge. The facilities are superb, well-kept and clean. Despite the site being busy due to BH weekend, it didn't feel crowded, there were no queues for showers or toilets. The site seems well managed, with team members on-site late into the evening. Quite a few food trucks on-site (pizza and tiramisu is highly recommended!) A shop with all the essentials was also open well past 8 pm. We'd definitely stay again.

Large Tent - Non-Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

We arrived after torrential rain so everything was muddy but staff were friendly, helpful and upbeat. Got taken straight to a lovely pitch and asked for extra space as we have a large tent which wasn't a problem at all. It was clearly a very busy weekend at the campsite but everything was great and the facilities were cleaned relentlessly to keep them nice and clean. Great location, a short walk from the village and Gorge. Really enjoyable stay and would highly recommend.

Would recommend
