Excellent first camp. Will be back.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Our first time camping, and what a lovely site with amazing views. Stan very helpful on arrival and came round after an hour to check we were ok. Clean toilets and showers, on site bar amazing and food vans at weekend, pizza Friday and Greek Saturday 😀 There was an onsite fete, play your cards right and a bbq put on by the residents/permanent pitch holders which was brilliant. Everyone so friendly and helpful, we will definitely be back.
Disliked Nothing… if you’re looking for somewhere you can enjoy the peace, or you like meeting people and socialising this place has it all.

Great site, very clean, stunning views, friendly helpful staff
Electric grass pitch
Liked Really quiet site in a lovely position with great views over the Somerset levels.
Langport is a lovely town with a supermarket about 1.5 miles away from the site.
Stan is very helpful and knowleagable.
Ladies showers were cold one morning but he sorted it immediately.
The showers, toilets etc were all extremely clean.
Disliked The (presumed drunk) bearded resident who spent Saturday night shouting for 'Alexa' in a very loud voice.
Fortunately he must have found her by 9-30pm as he then stopped and probably went to bed!

Perfect short camping break and an ideal base for touring the area.
Camping pod
Liked Beautiful view from the camping pod. The welcome was very friendly and helpful. The pods are great, comfy beds, storage, kettle, BBQ and outside chimnea. We were a group of 4 ladies on motorcycles and it was such a treat not to have to carry tents etc. we were made very welcome. Toilets and showers were always very clean with plenty of hot water. We loved the pizza van and bar on Friday night.
Disliked Absolutely nothing!!

Electric grass pitch
Liked Welcoming owner. Clean loos & shower block with plenty of warm water. Fantastic view from the 'pub' over the levels. Large, flat pitch.
Disliked V quiet site, pub only open on the Sat night, not a 'disliked' but still worth folk being aware of. No view from the pitch itself, which lacked any tree/ planting 'privacy'. Would I recommend, it would depend on what someone was looking for.? Unlikely to return as not enough in the area itself to warrant.

Thank you very much for a wonderful few days.

Great bar & View, NOT adult only and No food Saturdays despite weekend
Electric grass pitch
Liked Staff were friendly and helpful. Bar was great and view fantastic
Disliked Specifically booked this site because of being Adult friendly and offered Food onsite at weekends. However, on arrival on a Saturday, we were told, Oh, the food facility is here only on a Friday despite Saturday being within the weekend. Along with that the site is not Adults only as we saw 2 children when we were there.
Expensive stay considering the site is not what it says it is

Electric grass pitch
Liked Absolutely beautiful location. Stunning views and Stan the manager was very helpful. We had a fabulous time in the on site bar - Jeff and Jan and their team are wonderful hosts (not forgetting Lucy the gorgeous dog!) The Sunday meat raffle was a hoot and we will definitely be back.
Check in was easy and on site facilities were clean and sufficient for our needs.
Disliked Absolutely nothing
