Mendip Basecamp Family Campsite
An award winning off-grid family adventure campsite in the Mendip Hills, North Somerset.
NOTICE: Following the success of our six sold-out Mendip Mini Fests, we have added a final mini fest on the weekend of the 4th - 6th September 2026.
Surrounded by ancient woodland, Mendip Basecamp is an award-winning family campsite in Somerset, near Bristol. Families, groups and adventurers are all welcome. Experience authentic off-grid camping with the freedom to pitch where you like, have a campfire, and check out when it suits.
Basecamp has all the essentials plus several luxuries: hot showers, flushing toilets, a café-bar, a pop-up shop, USB charging and even fast WIFI. This year, the spotlight is on our brand-new 'Mendip Mini Fests', family-friendly festival style weekends included at no extra cost. Expect live music, relaxed entertainment and long summer evenings, without the crowds or big-ticket prices.
Alongside the festival vibe, you'll find over 20 bookable outdoor activities at Mendip Activity Centre, our onsite adventure hub. With activities like Rock Climbing, Skiing, Archery, Frisbee Golf, Paddleboarding and Caving, there's an adventure for everyone!
