Lovely quiet site. Toilet block closed which probably put visitors off however not an issue for me. Site wardens (two ladies) kept the site well maintained and clean. Junction with A303 a bit hazardous, the verge vegetation needs cutting back for better visibility. Also one of those convex mirrors at the opposite side of the junction would be good, it’s a fast road!
Really enjoyed my 2 week stay with plenty to do and see in the area.
Enjoyed it so much Left the van there til Sept!!!
Super site with no facilities currently ( club informed us in good time) had a great stay so much so we left the van on a seasonal pitch!!! looking forward to our next visit
Mandi and Sue were superb and a credit to our great club
thank you
Super clean site!
Very helpful and friendly wardens who maintain the site to a high standard - easlily the cleanest shower block we have ever been in.
A very quiet site which is close to he A303 but far enough away for no road noise. As others have said, getting out onto the A303 isn't for the faint hearted but with a bit of patience it can be done safely.
There are lots of public footpaths around but Somerset doesn't seem keen on making sure they are maintained - crossing the border into Devon showed a marked improvement.
In summary - a very nice site and one we hope to return to.
A lovely site
A warm and friendly welcome from both wardens. This is a lovely well kept site with clean and tidy toilet block. We would definitely return if in the area again. We love these small sites.
One of the Best Sites we have stayed on, Friendly Staff and Very Clean
Very well positioned site on the A303, lots to see not far away.
Very clean and well kept with friendly helpful staff.
6 Star!!
Good site for stop-over or exploring in vehicle
June 2023 for 3 nights. Good club site, perfect for stop-over heading to/from Cornwall. There is a good Italian restaurant (La Campagne) 1.5 mile walk along back roads (turn left out of site) though you do have to cross the A303 to get to it.
4G was good enough to stream TV.
Good TV signal too.
A303 is a fast road so we approached and departed with the flow of the traffic.
Rural Solitude
Recently had 11 nights on this charming rural site which is mainatined by the wardens Mandy and Sue in an exemplary state. Relief wardens on duty when we arrived who gave us a cheery welcome with full explanation of site and best pitch options for sunrise, sunset benefits. No children facilities hence 3* for families. About 14 miles off M5 so reasonably accessible for stop off's travelling south (or north)
Access off the A303 a bit tricky and leaving instructions with caravan hitched to turn left are a must due to heavy traffic and road layout. Southern coastal towns only 20mls or so away and reached in 45mins. Although called Ilminster, nearest town is Chard. Plenty of attractions - National Trust Properties, Haynes Motor Museum (a must for petrolheads) and RAF museum at Yeovil to name a few. Overall very relaxing.
Fantastic hosts, exceptionally clean facilities.
We arrived just for one night en route to Putts Corner, the welcoming was really friendly and a comprehensive brief. The pitch and whole site were perfectly maintained. The facilities were immaculate and felt like a home from home. Mandy and Sue were the perfect hosts, did not just come across as wardens. We would definitely stay if we were passing through again. Unfortunately we are having the opposite experience on the site we moved onto who could learn a lot from this site.

Peaceful site -ideal to relax
Welcomed with a lovely smile and understanding of a long journey by Mandy and Sue.
They even explained where the sun came up / went down, so we could chose a pitch that met our requirements. (Long evenings in the sun please!)
The facilities were spotless and the grounds well maintained.
There are a number of seasonal pitches here and we can understand why, it is so relaxing and peaceful.
We travelled to Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Poole and even into Devon ( for a Beer at Beer)
We will be back. Thank you Mandy and Sue for such a lovely short break.

Great site
We’re not sure why this site is so underused, as it is not only a great site with fabulous views and a modern toilet block, it’s also within striking distance of Dorset and Devon. In fact Devon is about a mile down the road. We have visited Lyme Regis, Beer, Branscombe and Sidmouth and there are many more seaside destinations within reach. There are also some excellent national trust properties around the site and the market town of Ilminster is delightful. Also, beautiful walks from the site with breathtaking countryside. The site is quiet and beautifully maintained by the wardens and we couldn’t recommend this site enough.
