 Site has toilet block (gents has no urinals), in the morning have to wait for empty cubicle.
Site NOT flat. Units do not abide by 6 metre rule. Parked on electric hardstanding, right next to music barn, glad I have hearing difficulties!
Electric only 6 amp (very poor, and pricey for electric)!
Pitch cost expensive, well it is Britain!
Location in the middle of nowhere!
Will not be visiting again!

We came here with friends for a get together. Unfortunately the grass was so wet it wasn't possible to pitch on it so everyone was crammed on the tarmac.
Was we pitched safely?? NO. We were literally 2 metres apart, and we paid premium for this too.
The on site bar serves a selection of food which was very good, and breakfast too. The food and drink where good value for money, its a shame I can't say the same about the pitch per night cost.

I really loved my stay at this campsite. The spacious fields meant that the pitches didn’t feel too crowded. Most weekends there is live music in the barn, on-site, and the vibe is really friendly and accommodating.
I can recommend the vegan sausage rolls at the cafe, they were delicious! I’m not sure whether the cafe will be open during the weekdays in the summer months, but during my stay it was only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The nearby village of Faulkland has a small store, but if you need groceries for your stay you might want to stock up before you arrive, as the most direct path to the village is along a quite busy road, without footpaths. Be careful when exiting onto the A366 from the Inn’s car park, as the Inn is situated on a blind curve and inching out to get any clear view from both directions is tricky.
I would most definitely stay here again, and certainly recommend this campsite as a place that isn’t a one-trick pony. The beautiful Somerset landscape, clean and ample amenities, live music, friendly and accommodating staff, nearby attractions and loads of ciders on tap. Fires are allowed as are dogs on leads. The Inn is historically registered and as such, is small but beautiful and packed with history and character.
You won’t be disappointed when you stay. I can’t wait to go back!

We stayed here in mid-winter, temperatures below freezing all day. 15 minute drive to the Bath Park & Ride for their Christmas Market and 30 minute drive to the Bristol P&R, for theirs. (Both cities have LEZs). The site is magic!
The new shower and WC block was first rate - once the heating was fixed. It was "Bracing" before that. The fresh water supply was frozen one morning as was the cleaning water for the chemical disposal facility. All part of winter camping though.
The Pub was something from history, there won't be many who can remember pubs in the old days when beer was served from a hatch in the front room. There was local bitter and local cider available from the barrel as well as a draft lager and some spirits and wines and the locals were very friendly and sociable.
Food was available at the weekend and there were social activities planned for the weekends as well.
On the down side, I tried to book a pitch with EHU but the automated booking form told me none were available. It was disappointing to find that of the four available in total, two pitches were vacant throughout our stay.
One of the EHU pitches had a camper van overnight which ran its engine -noisy, smelly diesel- almost every half an hour. I know generators are not allowed but this was annoying at times.
I did however, book for four nights but left after 3 because we had done all we came for and the weather was too cold for sitting about - even if camp fires are permitted.
There is plenty of space, no hard standing pitches and since the ground was frozen, no problem with mud after the recent heavy rainfalls.
Niggles aside, this is a wonderful site for anyone who does not favour the regimentation of Club Sites.

Stayed here for one night as a friend was playing in the Parlour.
The site is quite large with several fields. Only one field has EHUs and atm they are limited and only provide 6A but this was enough for us to run the diesel heating all night as it was quite chilly.
The pub toilets, which we used as they were nearest to our pitch, are open all the time and were well kept and very clean, plus there are portaloos across the site. As previously said there are no showers atm.
The welcome from the site manager, Prem, was very warm and he went out of his way to make sure we were happy. As there had been a lot of rain he allowed us to walk the site before pitching to make sure it was suitable for us. The ground was soft in places but we had no difficulty getting on or off.
We did not use any other facilities on the campsite as we were only there for one night.
The pub and the Parlour had a great choice of ciders from the 'barrel' plus bottled beers. Draught ale was brought over to the Parlour from the main pub so real ale drinkers were catered for. Food was limited to curry but that was wholesome and cheap.
This site is in its infancy under new management and as said in previous reviews the new owners have great plans to improve it in the near future.
For us it's a great place for a weekend away or to meet up with camping friends as it is so laid back and spacious. We'll certainly return.

There are many reasons why I would not like this campsite, however, there were 2 reasons why I did: the management team and the pub.
It is a pub site as in a site next to a pub, with minimal facilities:
* 6A EHU on 4 pitches
* No flushing toilets (portaloos were provided around the campsite, and there are loos next to the pub which are open all the time)
* No showers
* Only cold water at the 2 sinks for washing up
* No hardstanding pitches (grass only)
* No motorhome service point
If I were still camping under canvas, I would not have stayed at this site. However, as I have onboard facilities in my panel van conversion, and it was only a short stay to attend a rally for VW owners, I decided to chance it.
The owners had planned for a new facilities block with showers and toilets to be built, however, the work has been delayed due to Covid-19, and will now be completed hopefully in time for next year's season at the end of March 2022.
In addition to the facilities block, they are also upgrading the electricity supply to at least 10A for EHU pitches. Hardstanding pitches are unlikely to be available in 2022.
When I arrived, I was taken aback to discover the EHU supply was only 6A and there was no hardstanding pitches available.
Apparently the 6A EHU supply was mentioned in one of their pages or booking information; however, I still have not been able to find it.
When asked what would happen if I got stuck in the mud, the site manager cheerfully and reassuringly pointed at a big tractor and said he would pull me with it. And he did use the tractor to pull a motorhome out during my stay!
The campsite was boggy in places, especially near the stream in the lower fields.
The pub is famed for its ciders and perries. And the selection during my stay did not disappoint, with a good selection of bar snacks available, plus filled baguettes.
The original pub is tiny, however, there is a big multi-use extension called the Old Parlour as well as a barn where free live entertainments were staged.
Food wise they have a curry night on Fridays (the chicken curry with rice I had was tasty), and an external caterer provides BBQ on Saturdays, and cooked breakfast on Sundays. All the food I had during my stay were very good value for money IMHO, including the coffees and cakes.
I had a good chat with the lady owner of the pub and site, as well as the site manager. They were very helpful and have a good vision with regard to improvements to be made to the site. Had it not been for Covid-19, there would have been a new facilities block and better EHU supply this year!
Being late in October, the site was quiet once the V-Dubbers had departed. Apparently it will be quite busy during October half term school holiday.
Mobile phone signal was good for 4G EE and 3 coverage.
Site WiFi was free to use, with good signal in the Old Parlour. However, there was no signal at my pitch which was one of the 4 EHU pitches near the barn.
There is no play area or equipment for children.
I could envisage this being a very lovely site after completion of its upgrades, especially in the quieter periods, even though the peace and quiet could be interrupted by the occasional noisy vehicles thundering past the main road nearby.
After my initial apprehensions for its lack of facilities, I found myself liking this site so much that I have already planned to return next year soon after the completion of its upgrades. It is under an hour's drive from home which is very handy.
All in all, a gem of a site as it is now, and no doubt it will be much better next year.

Absolutely loved our stay.
Prem, the campsite manager, was brilliant. Friendly, wants to chat, and helped us out with a couple of chairs as we had forgot ours.
Rustic charm and can imagine such a festival vibe at weekends (we were weekday)
Might see if they have a pitch for us on way back up.
Site facilities is a 9 because no showers but they are urging these in soon.
Child friendly 9 as there isn’t a specific child area but our kids are close in age and don’t need entertaining, they see a big field and make their own fun

This is an absolutely splendid, old fashioned, pub.
Geat welcome from the landlady and locals, no bar, just barrels in the bay window. Top quality beer and good selection of ciders.
Food is just pasties until they run out.
At the moment the site is basic but priced accordingly - £5. 00 per person per night. Pub loos open 24/7, no showers, but there is major investment taking place.
A new access road, hard standings and hook ups being installed, and a shower block to be built, this will almost certainly incease the price, though.
The location is very good with woods for the yougsters to play and walks into Faulkland village and Norton St Philip, both with pubs doing decent meals.
Plenty more to do in the area, Bath, Medip Hills and so on.
A great place to stay in my opinion.
