Churchill, England · 9 units · Tents, Glamping
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. The Yurt is big and sleeps up to four very comfortably. It has its own stove and outside is a washroom just for you with hot shower , toilet and sinks. Your own meadow allows you to just relax and be.
Up on the campfield you can bring your own tent or hire a Belle tent from us with all the fittings to camp contentedly. Our new Wash House has hot showers, flushing toilets and basins. You can light a fire and cook up a BBQ or maybe just watch the world go by.
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 11 years ago. It was close to everything we wanted and we've spent some time getting a bit closer.

If you’re lucky, you’ll catch at least one of the breathtaking sunsets at Red Sky at Night Campsite near Monmouth. If not, there’s always a stunning view of rolling hills all around. At night, the skies become a dazzling canvas of stars under one of Wales' official Dark Sky Reserves.
This family-run camping field on our laid-back livestock farm is full of rustic charm. Pitch wherever feels right—tent or camper van. Dogs welcome but must always be kept on a lead and cleaned up after (dog waste bin on site, otherwise we are a leave no trace site and you should take your rubbish home with you).
This year, we’re introducing the “Missing Camper Trail” hidden in the woodland—can you find Colin? You’ll also find a new zip line and a slackline for adventurers big and small. Mud Café and den building are still here, along with teddy bears scattered through the woods—no official trail, just hidden friends to find.
Also new this season - a handcrafted washing-up area built by Farmer Ben from wood right off our farm.
Coming soon: We’re hoping for showers this season, but we’ll update when they’re up and running.
Wild camping here means no electricity—just two lovely compost loos and a covered cold-water tap. So bring your guitar, light a fire, and soak up the simplicity... The way camping was intended.

We had a wonderful return visit to Pridie’s campsite and could not fault a thing. Stunning nature and wonderful views all day long. The facilities were impeccable and we were made to feel right at home. Would 10/10 recommend and definitely come again (again).

Land was fantastic! Loads of space around and trees. Provided different areas for camping and amazing facilities on the site! They even had a little bench area which had cover and a van with food from early morning till 4pm. Wood and fire pit was available and Roxy was amazing with communication and supporting our stay. Loads of walk trails available from the campsite. Onsite toilets with working showers( warm/ hot water!) which was well maintained throughout the stay! Provided plugs, fridges, and even fresh eggs from the farm is needed!
Definitely recommend!

A huge site with lots of space between pitches and gorgeous views, we requested the woodlands pitch but someone else had already booked way ahead of us in advance so we settled for the upper field pitch where we had the whole field to ourselves the first night. There are portaloos dotted around and they are very new and clean. You can hike to the Stiperstones directly from this site, just be prepared to cross plenty of fields and bush country and remember the route you took or you may wound up lost on the way back. Fire bowl and wood were provided upon request. The site has long sloping land but its not really an issue. We parked our car right next to our pitch which thankfully helps alot due to the vastness of the land, you can easily drive a 2 wheel drive vehicle around with no issues. Thank you so much, we would definitely recommend this site and would love to return at some point.

This campsite is an absolute gem. Tucked alongside rolling green hills with a gentle river running right through the grounds, it feels peaceful and secluded from the moment you arrive. A quaint train track runs nearby, which adds a lovely, nostalgic touch to the landscape rather than disturbing the quiet.
The facilities are spotless and clearly well maintained, making the whole stay completely hassle free. Our favorite part was the evenings: sitting by an open fire roasting marshmallows with an unobstructed, crystal-clear view of the stars overhead. It was the perfect escape, and we cannot wait to come back for a longer stay. Highly recommended!

So glad we found this site. The gravel pitches are spacious and level, have awesome views of the surrounding mountains and have nearby fields/footpaths for the dog. 🐶 (Always helps when there’s a pub at the end of the walk too!)
We just managed to catch the cider shop/bar when we arrived on a Saturday afternoon, so it was nice to have a couple of homemade Ty Gwyn ciders in the sunshine.
The rustic barn on the campsite is perfect for rainy days when you want to have the atmosphere of being outside, but the comfort and cover of being under a roof.
There are ample toilets/showers for the size of the site and a washing up sink with a hell of a view!
We’d love to come back and try one of the rustic apartments too in the future, they look great. Thanks for the stay 👏

Had a lovely weekend, low density camping lots of room between each pitch. We stayed in the upper meadow with wonderful views and fantastic walks very nearby…some are very steep….This is wild camping with compost loos, I love that you use a wheelbarrow to transport your camping equipment from your car and the site is effectively car free….We took our black lab and he was very chilled here, laying in the long grass. Fire-pits are provided, perfect for marshmallow s’mores .we will go back again

Such a lovely campsite, the views are stunning and all the facilities just perfect! 😊 Especially the hot shower, fridge and kettle which was exactly what I needed being someone who doesn't have much of the camping gear. The wildflowers meadows look fabulous despite the dry summer. It's clear the owners have put lots of effort in maintaining these wild spaces! Great to have lots of info of nearby pubs and places to visit too. Really amazing stay! Absolutely recommend it!

I loved it here! As a solo-vanning female it was perfect, spacious grass pitches, easy booking system, fabulous facilities and not to mention the best views (the little sheep neighbours were also adorable)
Hot showers, toilets, water and electric point, washing line area (note no clothes wash facilities though)
The pitches are not level so won’t be for everyone but didn’t affect me, site is well lit at night and there’s a few sweet little glamping pods on site too. Worth a visit and I’ll be back!

When to go
May through September is the most popular time for hiking, boat cruises, and water sports along the Wye River, but outdoor activities are possible year-round with the right gear. For the most impressive views, come in spring when colourful wildflowers bloom along the riverbanks or in fall when the forests cast off their autumn leaves. The biennial Wye Valley River Festival (May) brings a series of free events to towns throughout the Wye Valley.
Know before you go
- The Wye River runs for about 250 kilometres, from Plynlimon in Wales to the Severn estuary. The main towns along the Wye include Chepstow, Monmouth, and Ross-on-Wye—hikes and boat cruises set out from all three.
- Towns along the Wye Valley have various options for camping and restaurants. For camping gear or to stock up on supplies, Chepstow and Monmouth have the most choice.
- Most campsites require advance booking, and many ask for the full payment in advance. Be sure to check opening dates, as many close in the winter months.
