 Just returned home and there are some great things to mention about the site but there are also some inconsistencies and disappointments too.
The pitches are a bit small but the whole place is well maintained and credit is due. The washrooms are modern and again well looked after.
We arrived on time but were delayed getting our pitch as the people departing were late. Err sorry but we always adhere to times given to us and it’s the first time this has happened.
The manager was a pleasant bloke but I think he did the ‘rounds’ once in the time we were there.
Dog walking is a problem. We have an elderly dog and there is nowhere on site to exercise him so you have to take the dog offsite (which is quite a walk). Once offsite its houses either way on a main road.
The top line of page one says over 18’s only yet the day before we left a caravan arrived with a family with two very small children with them. How does that happen?
The speed bumps on site are in a word brutal. I can never understand the need for them but these are awful. I bottomed the caravan when I was doing only 5mph and that’s the first time I have done that. It bent the brass plate that holds the jockey wheel in place and I needed to do some repairs whilst I was there. Walking down to reception I wasn’t the only one to ‘bottom out’ either as I witnessed 3 others in the time I was there.
The access on the road from Cheddar/Draycott is awful and leaving we went via Glastonbury/Street back to the M5. Its six miles further but its stress free.
The area is outstanding and a week wasn’t long enough. Would I go back? Yes. Would I go back to Wells Holiday Park? Maybe but would check out other sites before I booked

This is a lovely gem of a site situated in a perfect location for visiting Cheddar Gorge and Glastonbury. The site has a barrier gate and you pay a small deposit upon arrival for a barrier card which is refunded at the end of your stay on return of the card and you car registration is taken. This security is the best I have come accross as during our stay our son decided late on to come and spend a few days with us and with it being late we let him in with our barrier card, intending to get him registered when the reception opened the next morning but within 10 minutes the site owner came to our pitch as unknowingly it had triggered an alarm as it sensed that an unknown vehicle had entered the park. The pitches are off a good size with plenty of room and are all a short walk from the toilet block. The heated shower and toilet block was always spotless and have an electric socket at a charge of 20p for using your hairdrier/straightners and the outside pot washing area is undercover. With this being adults only it is a lovely little quiet site although the road noise can be a little annoying as it is something we are not used to, although this would not put me off coming back. The town of Wells is close by (about a 15 minute walk) with plenty of shops and pubs and lovely to visit in an evening. If we ever decide to return to this part of the country I would book this site in a heartbeat as we had a wonderfull stay.

This is a very well maintained site with all pitches being of a high standard and well positioned. The facilities block is immaculate and there is a shop in the reception.
The walk to Wells takes about 20 minutes, the city offers some lovely shops, pubs and the beautiful cathedral and Bishops Palace. Do pay a visit to The Globe Inn in Priest Row, we and our two dogs were made very welcome and they serve well kept real ales and superb food. The pub has been tastefully redecorated to maintain it's olde world history along with modern comforts.
Our only constructive criticism about the site is that having been charged £2 per day for each of our dogs and appropriately reminded to clean up any mess, we were very surprised to find that there were no dog waste bins on site. There is no dog walk on site but there is a field next to the site where you can exercise them. There is also a lovely walk in Ebbor Gorge, which is just beyond Wookey Hole, about 10 minutes drive from the site.
Overall, a very peaceful stay in a lovely area on a site that we would recommend and visit again.

This is a fabulous adults only and dog friendly site, an easy 15 mins walk into Wells and 1. 5 miles from Wookey Hole which is a leisurely walk up a lovely country road. Wells, is a beautiful compact city with lots of 'eateries' and places to explore nearby. On Saturday and Wednesdays, there is a Farmer's Market and this is one of the best markets we have been to, with loads of local produce on sale and very little 'tat. '
This is a very well maintained site with an immaculate toilet block, which was so clean! It has underfloor heating and large hot showers with disabled access and would be very cosy in the winter. There is a laundry room and outside undercover sinks for washing up, with loads of hot water. The site would seem to be quite busy over a weekend so booking is essential. However, we only booked on the Friday morning, we arrived on a Friday afternoon around 5. 00pm and the site filled quickly. Local takeaways deliver to the site and menus are available at Reception. We spotted the delivery vans coming to the site a few times. There are lots of restaurants and pubs in Wells.
There is slight road noise during the day, but this is balanced by the beautiful views of The Mendips which surrounds the site, we did not find the noise intrusive. It was very peaceful during the night.
This site is perfect for motorhomes as there is a choice of hardstanding, grass or gravel. Some of the pitches were on a slight slope but most were flat, we used our chocks for levelling. There are some holiday lodges on the site but they are in the next field and again, beautifully laid out and landscaped. There are also holiday cottages on the site, perhaps perfect for friends. The tented area is fine mowed grass with parking for cars in a small area adjacent, to avoid driving on the grass.
This is great base from which to explore this lovely area, we will be back as the site is open all year. For larger units and caravans consult a map, the directions to the site on the website do work but we found the windy narrow road from the motorway managable but a bit stressful!

Have just returned home from Somerset having spent 8 nights on this site (our 1st stay there) and after 30 years of camping this site is now firmly in our top 5! Very friendly and helpful staff, generous pitches, immaculate amenities block(the most spacious showers ever!) and very pleasant landscaping. 20 minutes walk into Wells City (lovely place)which has all you need(including a magnificent Cathedral). Attractions within 1/2 hour drive include Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, and Weston-Super-Mare. The only minus points(not for us)are 1)Adults only, 2)No Clubhouse, 3)on site shop not much good and 4)The road can be a little noisy in the evenings. All in all a super site and very reasonable prices too!

A beautifully clean campsite with excellent facility block. I thought that, as it was so close to the A371 that there would be excessive traffic noise, but it was barely audible, and very quiet at night. Lovely views of the Mendip Hills, excellent for walking. Also close to Wells City and a swimming pool only a couple of minutes walk away. Sadly there is no on-site dog walk, which meant a bit of a hike for the early morning dog walk, but otherwise, a lovely site.

We really enjoyed our week here. Location is good for many attractions in this area.
The site is beautifully maintained, grass cuttings collected - so they don't end up in your tent. Sloping field, but not enough to cause a problem for tents.
The new shower block is superb - clean, plenty of hot water, etc. Nice touches like bowls and draining racks at the washing up area.
Site shop has all the basics, owners friendly and helpful.
Would highly recommend this site.

Heading back to the Westcountry after a holiday we wanted to extend the break and stopped off for a couple of nights here. Great welcome and a very well kept site.
It slopes fairly gently allowing better visibility but pitches are hard/level. The facilities block near the top is obviously fairly new and of a very good standard.
We walked into Wells a couple of time in about 15 mins - it is a main road but with a good pavement and there are plenty of pubs/places to eat there. Wells is also a lovely place with the cathedral and Bishop's palace being well worth a look.
We were lucky and bumped into a good market with plenty of local food stalls (Wednesday). It is a site we will definitely return to out of season.

I am writing this review while still at this park, this is the start of our second week here. The site is excellent, toilets and showers spotless, grass kept neat,
twenty minute walk into Wells, (plenty of pubs to keep you going) Wookey 1 mile with a pub and Wookey hole 1 mile with pub and club.
Glastonbury 5 miles- ish Cheddar 8ish walkable if you are active, but not down the roads, they are A roads.
Bath, about 18 miles handy for the races and the Rising Sun pub there does a wicked meal!
Beautiful countryside, and such friendly owners, and such friendly locals too! Perfect. You will not find better, and a good price as well! Adults only (this is our first time and it wont be the last using adults only)
Try this site, you will not be disappointed.
Every credit and success to the owners!

We stayed here for 2 nights, as a break from the journey from Plymouth home to Pembrokeshire, and also to try out our new caravan on a site with hook up.
The good reviews on here and their excellent website influenced our booking.
The roads from the M5 are narrow/twisty in places, but my husband is very experienced at towing (and we are used to country roads). Take your time and look out for potholes.
Very friendly owners and staff on the park. Absolutely spotless everywhere (even the torrential rain on the second morning, which caused some short-term flooding on the grass pitches, didn't cause much trouble - they soon had extra drainage dug and the water cleared).
Most of the pitches are hardstanding - including larger ones for big motorhomes - but there are a few grass pitches and tents are allowed. Very good electric hook up. Plenty of water/waste disposal points. New amenity block, with chemical waste points, undercover washing up area (used by many of the other campers - most of which have caravans/motorhomes sited there), launderette and fantastic shower/toilet areas.
The showers (push button type) were hot and good pressure. Lovely views of surrounding countryside. Slight road noise - but nothing to really disturb you. A quiet site that was mainly used for sited vans, so I imagine it would be busier on weekends/bank holidays/better weather!
Very close to Wells (well worth more than one visit - excellent sightseeing - Cathedral is amazing - shops/restaurants) and Glastonbury/Cheddar. Bath and Bristol are also close, as is Weston if you want some seaside.
An excellent base for exploring or just relaxing on a very well maintained and quiet site. A regular bus service leaves from outside the site, so you could leave the car by the van, also a footpath/cycle route on the old railway into Wells.
TV signal was good. The pitches are slightly sloping, so make sure you have levelling blocks. I noticed two full service pitches, but we weren't offered these so perhaps they were reserved?
