Cheddar Camping and Caravanning Club Site

Set in the rolling hills on the outskirts of the village of Priddy, the highest in the Mendips, Cheddar Camping and Caravanning Club Site is an ideal base to explore the area or to enjoy walking, cycling, caving or rock climbing activities.  The site has beautiful views and is awarded 4 Pennant Award by the AA, so it’s no wonder it’s such a hit with members and non-members alike. Mendip Heights Campsite offers a range of pitches for touring caravans, motorhomes, trailer tents and tents including grass pitches and hardstandings with electricity.

There are also disabled facilities.  There is a chemical disposal point and motorhome stop-off point (subject to pitch availability).  The site offers Wi-Fi access and BBQs and ice packs can be hired from reception. Dogs are welcome on-site and there are plenty of public footpaths nearby where they can be walked, including one directly opposite the site entrance. 

The aroma of freshly baked bread, croissants and pastries will lead you straight to the on-site licensed shop, well-stocked with local produce including preserves, pork (including bacon and sausages), lamb, beef (including burgers), chicken, eggs, cheese, cider, ales, ice cream and bottled water.  There is also a farm butcher next door and in Priddy village, just ¾ mile from site, you’ll find a popular pub serving food and the Priddy Good Farm Shop which serves breakfast.  There is a Farmers’ Market held in Wells on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Priddy village also plays host to a popular folk festival in July as well as other events through the year.  The wider area offers plenty of pubs and restaurants as well as popular tourist attractions such as Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, Bath, Wells, Glastonbury, Bristol Zoo, SS Great Britain and Longleat Safari Park. The site is just 40 minutes from Somerset’s sandy beaches including Brean, Burnham on Sea and Sand Bay.
