About
Basecamp is a family campsite in the heart of the beautiful Mendip Hills, just outside Bristol, five minutes from the M5. Surrounded by ancient woodland, the spacious campsite is perfect for families, small groups and adventurers seeking a UK based holiday or weekend away.
Hidden high on the Mendip Hills, this is the perfect base to explore Somerset, Bristol and the South West. Mendip Basecamp is open from the May half term onwards and all bookings can be made online.
This “nearly wild” campsite has all the freedom of wild camping with acres of space and a family orientated feel with the added luxury of flushing toilets and hot showers. Other features include:
Fire pits allowed and available to rent
