Take your family off-grid for a proper camping experience with the added luxury of flushing toilets and hot showers!
Based in the heart of the Mendip Hills, our 100-acre campsite is the ideal location to enjoy the summer with your friends and family.
Pitch where you like, explore our ancient woodland and enjoy an open fire - camping as it should be!
The Pavillion is our pop up campshop and cafe. Enjoy barista coffee and breakfast rolls, pizzas, loaded fries and snacks just a stones throw from your tent. Refresh with a local Thatchers cider or grab a cocktail from the Tow Bar and sit back to enjoy the live music.
With our outdoor activity centre just a short walk through the woods, you`ll have access to rock climbing, caving, skiing, tobogganing, frisbee golf, abseiling, archery, rifle shooting, bushcraft, mountain biking and axe throwing!
Please visit our website for availability. Regrettably, we are not able to reply to individual availability enquiries.
Due to access restrictions, Mendip Basecamp is not suitable for motorhomes, trailer tents or vehicles taller than 2.7m.
