  • Peaceful Somerset escape at a family farm on the outskirts of Bath
  • Bath Racecourse five minutes’ drive and Bath Abbey 15 minutes
  • Off-grid site with showers; barbecue hut, sauna and hot tub all extra
Looking for a peaceful spot that’s handy for the historic sights of Bath? Off-grid Lansdown Campsite is set on a family farm in stunning countryside atop Lansdown Hill, with views over the city yet far enough away to be unaffected by its buzz. It’s also a clever choice if you’re weekending from London or Wales, as the site is only 15 minutes’ drive from Junction 18 of the M4. So what’s included with your stay? Modern showers and a washing-up area, drinking water and a communal firepit, which is lovely to cosy up around after days of exploration in Bath and Somerset. Luxurious amenities that come with an extra charge include a barbecue hut, sauna and hot tub. Dogs are more than welcome, and they can have a walk around the farm fields (please keep them on a lead). The site is right opposite Lansdown Park and Ride (catch Service 31 right into Bath city centre; it runs every 15 minutes), so you can abandon the car for the duration of your stay, and it’s also walking distance (around 20 minutes on foot) from Bath Racecourse and a couple of foodie pubs.

What customers say

This campsite offers an excellent location for visiting Bath and Bristol, with a convenient park and ride opposite. Reviewers praise the friendly and helpful owner, John, and highlight the fantastic, spacious, and hot showers. Pitches provide good privacy. While some mention proximity to a road and an initial impression of the site being new, most found the facilities clean and well-maintained, including pleasant-smelling toilets with paper towels. Minor drawbacks include a slight incline on some tent pitches and basic washing-up facilities.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked This is an attractive, open site with plenty of room to pitch up. We loved the location, accessible to Bath from the park and ride bus stop opposite the campsite. The showers, washing up area and toilets were clean and functional. Arrival instructions were straightforward.

Disliked There is a little bit of road noise but nothing intrusive.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Very calm campsite. The toilets were always clean, showers worked well and the washing up point was very useful.

We arrived on a Thursday and the site was lovely and quiet with about 15/20 meters between us and the next closest camper. Over the weekend, it got busier but we still had a good amount of space between us all.

Location is amazing with the park and ride opposite. The road is not loud either!

Liked Thoroughly loved our 2 days camping. Toilet and shower facilities were spotlessly clean. Found a spot with afternoon shade near the main gate. Loved the location, close to the park and ride into Bath.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Everything! John works SO hard to make sure everything is in order! Loved the back to nature feel and genuine care he shows for the wilding of the campsite. Sauna AMAZING! Will stay again. Location is super! Especially for car boot which is walking distance; lovely local feel and views- staggering; just across the road on free to access playing fields.

Disliked Just one more camping shower would make a huge difference.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much, it was a pleasure having you.
I am already looking on the market for a shower block. I was always intending to increase the showers I just did not realise I would need them so soon! 😅
All the best
John
