Ancient woodland and wildlife
The Mendip Hills National Landscape is a hidden gem. Its undulating plateau punctuated by spectacular gorges and rocky outcrops means its a landscape ready for adventure.

Due to low bridge, tight bends, and steep tracks, Basecamp is not accessible to towing vehicles or motorhomes over 2.7m high.
No electric hookups
We're an off-grid site so we don't have any electric hook ups. Bring a torch, a battery pack and a sense of adventure. We do have a few USB chargers if you need to charge your phone.
