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.

This is a fantastic place to go with family and friends. The facilities are just what you need with the shop being incredibly useful. Toilets were cleaned regularly and the lodge is only a short walk down the hill.
We will absolutely be staying again!

We camped in one of the bell tents for a couple of days.
We took part in archery and kayaking with our children (10&12) and had a fantastic time. Credit to Dan (Archery) and Ali (Kayaking)- they were both brilliant, enthusiastic and engaging.

Great camp, good facilities clean and warm showers.
The shop in the pavilion was well stocked and we enjoyed pizza on the Saturday evening. Fun activities available which were enjoyed by all. Lots of space to explore with the kids.
