Mendip basecamp

Great few days with lots of fun activities for the family. Lovely staff. Great set up for the camp site. We will be back for sure. Really helpful team enabling us to do activities for a variety of ages. Thank you to everyone at Mendip, we highly recommend it as a place to bring the family to escape and have fun.

Second time we’ve camped here and we absolutely love it! Love that you can choose where to pitch and there’s lots of space. Great facilities and they are always clean. Brilliant play area & games for the kids - bring a bucket and spade!

Best campsite we've stayed at! Just returned from a week camping at Mendip Basecamp with 2 children aged 12 & 8. We had a wonderful stay. Friendly, helpful staff. Well stocked, well priced shop and food service with breakfast rolls and coffee. Showers and toilets are kept very clean and there are enough of them around site. Plenty to keep you entertained on site with NERF arena, climbing wall and play area.

Without doubt the best unknown gem of a campsite there is! This place is excellent for chilling out as well as having fun with the kids. Great staff, a beautiful setting and some fantastic activities, with brilliant instructors. The campsite has a really nice vibe with a very well stocked shop area.

Excellent site, highly recommend. Relaxed atmosphere, lots of space, level pitches, can have fire pits, quiet at night, well stocked shop, clean facilities, friendly staff, activities on site.

Really nice campsite, not too busy. Nice location not too close to any major towns. They have fire pits for hire which is a nice touch and lots of activities for younger kids. The best part imho was the close proximity of the activities for older kids and adults, including caving, abseiling, canoeing, SUP, orienteering and the dry ski slope. A lot packed into a small area!!

Just returned from a 4 night stay, and will be going back for sure. During our stay we tried out lots of the very well run activities. Campsite well maintained, fully stocked shop and fab pizza for tea. All the staff we spoke to were polite & helpful.

The most lovely weekend away!! Out the way from the public but also not an awful journey to get to it. The pub through the woods is perfect, the actual campsite is very family friendly. You could come completely unprepared and it wouldn’t matter they have it all in the shop. Pizza is delicious!! Gary behind the till is a star!! All the staff are lovely and extremely welcoming. We can’t wait to come back as a family!

Spent a week in our campervan there with my two young daughters. We had a really great time, lots of quality activities provided by Mendip Activity Centre. Super friendly and experienced staff. The on-site services were hugely improved since the same time last year. We mostly self-catered in the van, but when we did eat at Basecamp and the lodge is was good value, well made and good portions. The live music was really enjoyable - and so was everything else :-) We will be going back again, which will be the fourth time.

We’ve just got back from a weekend away at Mendip Basecamp. It’s a beautiful campsite set in gorgeous countryside . We were super impressed with the entire place. The camping set up is fantastic with the freedom to pitch where you like, with friends and family and feels very free and easy. The facilities are excellent, very clean and Accessible. Every single member of staff we encounter was polite, friendly and REALLY helpful. We were pretty self-sufficient while we were there but if we needed anything, they were more than happy to help! As we were leaving, we became aware that it was the first weekend of the year for them and a lot of the staff were brand-new, making the service we received even more impressive! We absolutely loved the Mendip Lodge with live music on the Saturday night and pie Minister pies, even better! Definitely try the tobogganing which was really well run and the kids absolutely loved! We can’t wait to go back with our friends again and try out some of the other activities. I would highly recommend this site to anyone! Nearby activities: Tons of activities on site lots of which are free the rest of which are brilliant! Live music at Mendip Lodge every weekend in the evening! We also walked to Churchill to the beautiful and very picturesque Crown Inn where we were made very welcome!

This was our second trip to base camp and won’t be our last. We’ve still not got round to any of the activities on offer. The staff are super friendly and will do anything to help make your stay as easy as possible.

We had a lovely weekend camping with friends at Mendip Basecamp. The site was superb, spacious, quiet, kids friendly and with everything you need. We had a pleasure of staying in one of the bell tents and it was spacious, clean and great space to stay with kids.
