Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The place is beautiful and calm and Tim is very friendly and helpful.
We bought some local products (apple juice, bacon, sausages and eggs) too and they were excellent and cheap.
Facilities are basic but that’s as close as you get to wild camping and what we were after.

Recommend to friends Visit again

We will definitely use this site regularly from now on.

Liked Loved the energy as soon as we arrived here. It’s the perfect amount of wild. The view, the egg laying hens, the badminton and swings were all rustic and charming. Tim was friendly and very attentive.

Manon V.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Everything, the location is fantastic, wide views towards Cardiff, we were nicely welcomed and really looked after by the owner Tim, beautiful old pub with a lovely garden just 5-10 mins stroll down the lane, trout on the BBQ, endless walks from the campsite, even at the end of June not too crowded. Good, level field for camping. Back to basic, just what we like.

Daniel L.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked This is one of the southwests hidden gems.
The host, the pitch, the site, the view all of them tip top.
I'm reluctant to say too much about the place. Tim (the owner) has created a little piece of heaven on earth.
I was afraid that after I gave a honest review that I'd have to book months in advance.
On this occasion I had the site virtually to myself (midweek). Perfect!!!
If you are happy to go minimalist (Which let's be honest is what camping is all about) then this site ticks all of the boxes.
I can see me escaping the crowds to this sanctuary again and again!

Disliked I had to leave!

From the manager: Thank you Dan.

A beautiful, back-to-basics site.

Local attractions

The small farm of The Batch Campsite is between a National Trust woodland and a Bronze Age settlement: you might already have heard that this part of Somerset is fairly historic… Cheese, gorge, caves and climbing are three miles away over the hill at Cheddar and Tim and co can provide instruction if you want to tackle any Cheddar or Mendip caving or climbing. It's full-on walking and hiking land here too, around the gorge and hills, the area's cider farms or the Mendip Way's 50 miles over the Mendip Hills from Weston-super-Mare to Frome. The Mendip Pub or Butcombe Trail is an agreeably scenic totter along 45 miles connecting six pubs owned by Butcombe Brewery and through Priddy, Axbridge, Bleadon, Rowberrow and Compton Martin. Yet more attraction and activity hurrahs are in the area, like seaside days at Weston-super-Mare, heritage at Wells Cathedral, Glastonbury Tor and medieval Axbridge, or a whizz down the slopes at the Avon Ski Centre.
