The site

Simple, spacious farm-based camping.

We welcome all walkers, cyclists, families and small groups, Duke of Edinburgh, Scouts, Guides and explorers alike - who want to experience this magical and ancient landscape.

Important information for your stay on the Hill

This is wild camping on an open ridge at around 600 feet.
Bring everything you need — drinking water, lights, food, shelter.
The weather up here can change, and it can be colder, wetter and windier than down in the village or on the coast.
Before you set off, check the forecast for Bleadon & The Mendip Hills, not just Weston-super-Mare — conditions on the hill can vary.
Bring warm layers and waterproofs, whatever the season.
Your tent needs to be able to handle wind — a sturdy shelter, properly pegged out, is a must.
Please pack for self-sufficient camping. Enjoy!
