Swallow Barn Farm was perfect for what we wanted,lots of people passing through for one night.The location was perfect seems to be central for all local attractions and an Inn within a stones through.Not much to choose from to pitch level but for £16 anight happy as Larry a shower block would make this site perfect and the owner though busy with the farm was happy to help anyway he could.
Great views

Found this when I was looking for somewhere last minute close to Chapterhouse where I was for a course. A little bit off the beaten path and down a difficult single track road (be careful if in anything bigger than a car) but it was exactly what it said on the listing. A huge, open field at the back of the farm. Not as flat as it looks in the pictures, but there are certainly great areas if you arrive early or they aren't busy. I stayed in April and was one of four parties, one large camper, 3 VWT series and another tent. You do park on the field at your own risk, but there are a few parking spaces off the field by one of the barns. The views are stunning, huge vistas and the light pollution is pretty low so great for star watching. The one portable loo was clean with plenty of paper but again if they were busy that might be a different story. It's also a bit wobbly, so be prepared for that if you need a 2am loo! I would recommend it if you're looking for something cheap and cheerful for 1 or 2 night while you climbed or biked and I will use again if I'm in that area. The Sun Inn, which is 5 mins away, does great food and they seated 2 without a reservation. If you want quiet and great views, and somewhere pretty self contained, it's a great little find. If you are a family or have kids, you may want to look elsewhere as there is nothing on site for them so bring your own entertainment.
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.
