Mendip Basecamp

Getting Here

Mendip Basecamp is based in North Somerset, in the village of Churchill, near Winscombe and Sandford.

By car

We have plenty of car parking and you can park by your tent. However, we encourage lift sharing where possible. The closest electric car charges are at the “Touts” garage. We are a 15 minute drive from the M5 J21 and close to the A38. Use a sat nav or google maps to find Mendip Activity Centre, Lyncombe Drive, Churchill, BS25 5PQ.

By foot

We welcome hikers. We are close to the villages of Churchill, Winscombe, Sanford, Cheddar, Banwell and Congresbury. There are plenty of footpaths that surround the Campsite.

By bike

We regularly welcome new and seasoned cyclists to Mendip Basecamp. We are a few hundred metres from the Strawberry Line cycle path, a great stop for cyclists completing Lands End to John O’Groats, or those visiting Cheddar Gorge.

By public transport

Yatton is our closest train station and is a 10 minute taxi, or a 20 minute cycle along the off-road Strawberry Line. The Falcon bus comes from Bristol/Bristol Airport and Exeter/Plymouth. It stops on the A38, a 20 minute walk from the campsite. First bus 51 comes from Weston-super-mare.
