- 16 and 17 year olds must have written parental permission emailed prior to arrival. Music must be turned off at 10pm in the Family Field and 11pm in the Chill-out Field, after-which fireside chatter is fine; singing, screaming and shouting is not.

Campfires are positively encouraged - fire-drums, kindling, logs and lighters delivered to your door every evening for a small charge.

Adult groups of 5-10 people will be charged a £150 behaviour bond. The site will contact you 2 weeks before arrival to collect a card payment, which will be returned on condition that: a) We have not had to ask more than once for the group to turn music off at 11 or keep to quiet chatter after. b) Your group has left their pitch clean and all rubbish has either been recycled or taken home.

Great facilities, clean restrooms, friendly staff, spacious sites, and a prime location near Cheddar village. Relaxed atmosphere, fire pits, food vendors, and good recycling. Some noted occasional noise or cleanliness issues due to high use.

Good but noisy
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Helpful staff, toilets and showers were well maintained.
Disliked The site was too busy for us and despite the 'blurb' saying that peaceful time was from 10pm for the kids site we could still hear them shouting and screaming at 11pm. It looked as though there was some school age kids event on and if we'd have been prewarned we would have gone elsewhere as we wanted a quiet campsite.
