Mendip Basecamp

About Mendip Basecamp

Welcome to Basecamp! Nestled in the stunning Mendip Hills, Somerset- and not far from Bristol, Bat and Weston Super Mare, our campsite offers the perfect blend of adventure and comfort. Winner of the 2023 Tourism Awards for Campsite, Basecamp provides a unique environment where you can disconnect from technology and enjoy the simplicity of nature with some modern luxuries.

We're suitable for tents and campervans and have no pitches- that means you have the freedom to choose your own spot. Whether you're looking to wake up with the sun or find a secluded corner under ancient trees, you make the rules here! We are a dog-friendly campsite, so your four-legged friends can join in on the fun, and we encourage you to light up a fire pit—perfect for those family bonding moments over marshmallows and hot chocolate (which you can buy from our handy camp shop!)

  • Camping with Adventure and Endless Fun

    Basecamp is the family campsite that’s all about diving into fun! Whether you're up for mastering archery or want to paddle a canoe, throw a frisbee or scale a cliff, we have an activity for you. From dawn till dusk, our activity programme is filled with options to keep everyone engaged and ecstatic. This is your ultimate spot for an activity holiday where you can choose a new adventure every single day. In addition, our programme of free entertainment includes live music, circus skills and nature craft workshops.

  • Flexible, family-friendly and off-grid

    Imagine a campsite where you’re the boss... At Basecamp, you get just that. Our off-grid nature means there's no electricty and you have the flexibility to pitch wherever you fancy. There’s no set checkout time, so take the day at your pace. And yes, dogs are welcome too! Light up a fire pit, roast some marshmallows, and soak in the starlit skies. Here, it’s all about making your stay how you want it.

  • Basics with luxurious options

    You can have a slice of luxury while camping! At Basecamp, we mix the rustic feel of camping with the comforts you love. Choose from a variety of accommodation options like our ready-to-book Glamphouse tents, Nomadic Bell Tents and Lodge rooms- or bring your own setup. Wake up to barista-quality coffee, enjoy hot showers, flushing toilets and make use of family-friendly amenities like family changing rooms. Plus, our onsite bar means you can unwind with a drink and pizza after a day full of adventures. It’s the perfect blend for those who love the outdoors and creature comforts.
