A note from the site themselves...

In 2013, three generations of our family purchased our Grade II listed home with a vision of creating a camp site and smallholding. After extensive renovations and a lot of hard work, we have created what you see here today. We finally were able to open our camp site in 2018 and hope that our customers enjoy our home as much as we do.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring PitchesAug 2024

A beautiful location with a quiet and grassy field overlooking a meadow, with a very pretty view and entertaining chickens. The pitches are well spaced on the grass and it was an easy walk into Cheddar village. The owners were friendly and helpful and the Toilets are portaloos but they were clean. We would recommend and will come again.

Quiet and welcoming

Twin Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring PitchesAug 2024

Great little site located behind the owners house. She breeds poultry, not a problem for us, the the constant cockerel calls may be for some. Large open grass pitches, with slight ridges and furrows, so finding an exact flat spot could be tricky. Shower is a large hut with a gas fired shower, over a large tray with a curtain. Plenty of room for family showers. Toilets were off the porta-loo variety, but all clean and tidy. The owner was very pleasant and greeted us upon arrival. Informed us of the facilities and local amenities. Can recommend the Chef and Brewer pub back towards Taunton. The site is walking distance to the Somerset railway which takes you all the way to Minehead. Great for a day out, and beautiful scenery along the way. There's a tap brewery next door to the railway also, but not much else. Footpath right from the entrance to the site, and a small woodland we were told we could go into, but no paths. Getting into the site was fine but a little tight getting out with our 8mt twin axle.
