Camping & Campervans

Mendip Basecamp is an award-winning, off-grid family campsite perfect for both campers and campervans. Surrounded by ancient woodland you can pitch where you like, park by your tent and enjoy a campfire. With no no check out time you can leave when you are ready.

We may be off-grid but we still have hot showers, clean flushing toilets, a camp shop, washing up areas, a giant sandpit, toddler play zone, USB charging, wifi and a communal ice-block freezer.

Check in from 4pm and check out whenever you are ready!

The Pavilion camp cafe is open every day for hot breakfast rolls, fresh pastries, barista coffee, pizzas, fries, paninis, ice cream and soft drinks plus cold, local beers, wine and ciders.

Enjoy free entertainment and themed weekends right in the heart of the campsite - check out whats on here and take advantage of our activity centre and make your stay a real family adventure camp

Rules: We like to keep things simple and relaxed. As a family campsite we only need a few common sense rules to ensure everyone enjoys their stay at Basecamp. Read our rules and quiet night policy here
