About the site
This tent only campsite has a classic, back-to-basics vibe, a small peaceful flat field situated just three miles from Cheddar and enjoying a picturesque location at the top of the Mendips. There are views across the channel to the heights of Pen y Fan and the lights of Cardiff. Pitches are all on grass and are surrounded by lush woodland where you're sure to spot an abundance of wildlife. If you don't want to bring your tent with you, then opt for one of the batch bell tents. The 5m all-weather bell tents each sleep up to six, complete with camps and self inflatable mattresses for four (bedding is not provided). For added comfort, you will also be provided will a table and chairs and a camp kitchen with utensils. Outside you will also find your own solar shower and steel fire pit with a griddle, perfect for some al fresco cooking underneath the stars. Peaceful and set at the end of a private road, the site welcomes BBQs and can supply tasty produce and meat for you to cook. There are also communal fire pits dotted around the camping field. Dogs are welcome.

We took a short one-night trip to the Mendips after work. It's a beautiful location with a fantastic campsite view. The site itself is lovely with chickens, orchards, and deer visible in the field opposite, it provided the perfect escape. We enjoyed a nice 13km walk the following day into the surrounding area, which we both loved. The campsite had everything we needed, and the host was kind and helpful. This was my dog Barney's first camping trip and he was made very welcome! We will definitely come back.
