Prices start at £12 per night, with an average around £100. Showers, pet-friendly pitches, and campfires are common, so you won’t need to rough it.

For something tried and tested, check The T Barn (34 reviews), Small Trees Campsite (23 reviews), or The Old Airfield (22 reviews). Rubbish bins and facilities are well-kept, making it easy to focus on the swimming, not the clean-up.

9 units · Tents, Glamping · Churchill, England
Off the beaten track on top of the Mendips in an area of outstanding natural beauty. A mixture of four acres of wild woodland, orchard and field set on a hillside. Our Yurt is set up in the trees giving you peaceful seclusion and a clear view across the sea to Wales and the mountains of the Brecon Beacons. A huge range of activities are possible or you can lie in the hammock with a good book. We have very friendly dogs and rescue chickens who may come and visit. Wild deer wander past in the early morning mist and the odd buzzard picks an argument with a bunch of crows but nothing much else should disturb you. We moved here after an 18 month search 8 years ago. It was close to everything we wanted and we've spent some time getting a bit closer.
