 Just had 6 nights at this lovely small campsite.
As already mentioned in other reviews, very friendly and helpful owners, who really made you feel welcome, with plenty of local knowledge.
As it was winter we wanted hard standing. There is a large area of hard standing of which the owners only have three units on at any one time, which gives plenty of room.
The hard standing looks quite recent, as the water drained very well, which was good as we had a lot of rain while we were there!
A very user-friendly chemical disposable point, and it was nice to have a pipe on the water point which was just the right height to fill up your aqua rolls.
A garage near by which sold most things, you could get to it by safe pavement walking.
Lovely views from the site.
Can't comment on the toilet/showers as we always use our own facilities.
Plenty of walks from the site, also a cycle track nearby on an old railway line, which we did one day.
We were going to say at the CC site in Cheddar, but they were full, which on hind site was a blessing as we wouldn't have found this site.
Would definitely do a return visit.

We used this sight as an overnight stop off on the way down to Cornwall. The sight is located approximately 10 minutes from the M5 and so we booked for convenience rather than anything else initially.
After arriving on a freezing cold night, we were warmly greeted by the lovely owner on her Quad bike. She directed us to our pitch, and gave us some local information regarding pubs, shops etc.
Well, what a lovely surprise we got in the morning! The views of the surrounding hills were beautiful, and despite being close to a main road, it was very peaceful.
There is a shower and toilet block which were basic but clean. The shower was 20p for about 2 minutes, which was adequate, (just remember to put your coin in when you are actually ready to get in, the scramble to strip was not amusing!)
We couldn't really comment on the local amenities as we had to get back on the road quite early, which was a shame because we would have liked to have explored a bit more.
I would definitely use this site again and at £12 a night for 2 adults with EHU, I feel it was good value for money.

A very pleasant and welcoming campsite, we arrived at 6pm Sunday and were shown to our pitch, our friends joined us and a last minute addition to our party was readily welcomed without any hassle.
The campsite is near Cheddar, Wookey Hole and Weston Super Mare and on a nice road for a touring caravan to access as some other locations are situated on windy small roads.
The shower / toilet block is kept clean and for 40p a nice 4 minute refreshing shower (20p for 2 mins) was great!
The nearby pub was ventured to Sunday night at 6. 50pm to be told they shut at 8 - menu was a very limited choice however was very nice and after a little banter and chit chat with landlord we had an enjoyable hour!
When we got back we sat around the fire pit which wood can be purchased for from site - very nice touch!
We ventured to The New Inn at Cross on the Monday night. All we can say is yum yum and a lovely landlord. All in all our visit to this neck of the woods was very enjoyable and hope to visit again.

A lovely site on the River Axe. The farm entrance is right on the main road so we had some reservations when we arrived but the site field is set well back so there was no noise at all.
The toilets are clean and although there is only one shower it is really quite luxurious.
Access to the river for canoeing/kayaking is just over a little bridge on the farm.
All perfect. We will definitely be back

A return visit for us and we are so glad we visited again.
Warm welcome, friendly, cheerful and helpful site owners.
Clean hot shower and toilets.
Flat well drained pitch.
Pleasant views of the surrounding countryside.
Within easy reach of Burnam-on-sea and Weston Super Mare, as well as loads of National Trust sites within a short drive.
Bargain of a site - what else could you ask for!
One of my favourite camping sites.
We look forward to returning next year.

We stayed here in summer and thought it was lovely.
The toilets were clean, as was the shower (yes there is only one but it is a small site)
Electric hook ups are available although we didn't use them and had more room as a result, not that the EHU pitches are too small but we had effectively the entirety of one end of the field to ourselves.
The owners are friendly and helpful and the site is peaceful despite its convenient location to the main road. All at a bargain price what more can you ask?

We had an absolutely brilliant stay at Watersmeet, despite some slightly ropey weather! The owners, Kath and Mark, are the best - friendly, helpful, great sense of humour and a pleasure to meet. They've got a great local knowledge too so good to consult on the best kind of cider!
The site is lovely - flat, big pitches with a beautiful view of the Somerset Levels and Crook's Peak. The toilets were always clean and well kept and the shower was the same. Fire buckets and wood are available from the site which was great too - allowed us to sit out and weather the chill (well, it is British Summer Time!). The site's just off the main road so there is sometimes the distant rumble of cars but it's still very peaceful.
If you fancy a dip, the River Axe is just a few minutes walk across the fields and has a couple of access points where we took down a blow-up canoe which was brilliant for a float down stream with a cold beer - very picturesque.
Electric hook-ups are available although if you can go without, it might be better as you can get a more secluded spot. Not that it matters really, the site is big and even when it was full, there was plenty of room.
The Lamb Inn, five minutes walk up the road, is okay if you're desperate for a pint but to be honest the beer garden's a bit grotty and the staff have a touch of the 'anti-grockle' mentality about them which is a shame when they essentially have such a captive audience close by. We stopped in for one but decided to walk on up another 10 or 15 mins to the New Inn at Cross which was much better (good food, good beer, nice staff).
Lower Weare itself is in a good spot for exploring - Cheddar and Axbridge within a few miles and Wells, Weston and Glastonbury if you fancy a slightly longer trip. And of course - no visit is complete without a trip to Wilkins Cider Farm near Wedmore. Honestly - you must go, I promise you'll have one of the best afternoons of your hols.
All in all - 10/10 and we will defo be back.

We had a brilliant Jubilee weekend at Watersmeet.
Perfect directions so easy to find and Kathryn was around to meet us as we arrived.
Both Kathryn and her husband Mark were lovely and couldn't have been more friendly or helpful over the weekend, bringing wood, telling us about the area, taking away our rubbish, etc.
The campsite itself is nice and flat and even fully booked there's lots of space. Very good value for money too.
Two horses were in a separate field for most of the weekend which was nice!
The campsite is on a working farm so generally lots of animals around and about.
The loos were always clean and had loo paper. The shower is 20p for 2 minutes and always hot and good pressure. Was never a very big queue, I think because there were quite a few motorhomes when we were there.
We did a bit kayaking in the small river which was fun!
The nearest pub is a 5 minutes away but isn't great to be honest. Definitely worth walking 20 minutes to the New Inn at Cross, nice staff and good food.
The nearest shop is a BP garage which has basics plus some fresh veg, drinks etc.
Generally, camping in this part of Somerset is perfect for exploring lovely villages, caves, pubs, cider, cheese, the list goes on! And Watersmeet is a great location with splendid views and lovely owners.

What a fantstic welcome from Kathryn, Easy to find on the main A38, (sign a little small so keep your eyes peeled) beautiful surroundings, well maintained level site, with good hard access road, with large pitches, 10 with hook ups, our 2 Jack Russell's were made to feel very welcome too by Kathryn and her own Jack Russell, 'Spice'. The Toilets and Shower very clean, and a good size power shower too, with ample hot water (9 minutes for £1) but you can have a swift shower for as little as 20p, (Beware don't put your money in, until you're sure that nobody is filling their water container, as it draws pressure from the shower unit, and it stops until they finish filling up) We had a nice peaceful relaxing week, hedge around the field shelters you from any wind, and also you can buy logs and a fire lighter and borrow a brazier for a nice log camp fire if you want to sit around after a nice BBQ. We will definitely be going back regularly, and Kathryn also came over to us the night before we left to say goodbye and thank us and to see if we had any problems. Whilst a family would have a great holiday based here, (we were only a couple)there is little for children to do on site, although Kathryn did say children could use her own families trampoline in her garden, and there is plenty of room to run around

We spent 4 days here at the end of may, everything was clean, the one shower was fine though 20p did not last long, there were only about 4 other units on site so facilities were adequate, I don't know if 1 shower would be sufficient for many more people.
No road noise, owner friendly and present around site. Pub up the road not open after about 9.30, we found the white hart, old coach road cross, pleasant, opens around 4pm and doesn't close!
plenty to visit around the area, berrow sands good for us with 3 dogs.
Cheddar reservoir a nice walk, glastonbury tor, superb views followed by a stroll round town.
The camp site was all level & easy access, the owners only took it on last august & have worked hard to get it up & running.
