Temporary Fire Safety Update

Due to the ongoing dry weather, we’ve introduced a few temporary fire safety measures at Batcombe Vale.  For the time being, campfires, open fires and disposable BBQs aren’t permitted. Raised gas BBQs and gas camping stoves are still welcome - just please keep them well away from dry grass and never leave them unattended. These short-term measures help us protect our guests, our wildlife and the beautiful countryside around us. We’ll remove the restrictions as soon as conditions allow.

Thank you for helping us keep Batcombe Vale safe.

A PEACEFUL ADULT-ONLY CAMPSITE IN SOMERSET

Tucked into a hidden vale near Bruton - one of Somerset's most celebrated destinations - Batcombe Vale is a quiet countryside retreat for couples, solo travellers and friends who are looking for space, stillness and a slower pace of life. Dogs are very welcome.

Over 40 Years of Quiet Hospitality in Somerset

For over 40 years, Batcombe Vale has been offering a genuine escape in the heart of the Somerset countryside - and in that time, we've been named Best Campsite in Somerset on Channel 4's The Perfect Pitch.

Whether you're seeking a romantic camping break, a solo retreat or simply a few restorative days with people you love, this is a place where you can truly switch off, breathe and reconnect with what matters.

We care deeply about the countryside we call home. Find out more about our commitment to sustainability.

We are open Friday 19th June to Monday 21st September 2026

From £38 for 2 people per night 

A short season, only 30 pitches (some with electric hook-up) - July and August fill fast. Book early to secure your dates.

Quick and secure booking - no booking fees - instant confirmation

A Somerset Campsite Surrounded by Nature

Our retreat is a calm and secluded space tucked into rolling Somerset hills, where meadows, a hidden glade and a beautiful wildlife lake replace the noise and pace of everyday life. Here, nature completely sets the pace - and that, we've found, is exactly what our guests need.

Restorative Camping Under Dark Skies

Because we're deep in the Somerset countryside, away from roads and light pollution, our nights are gloriously dark and perfect for stargazing. Most guests tell us they sleep better at Batcombe Vale than anywhere else - and leave wondering why they don't do this more often.

Whether you're looking for a romantic escape, a solo reset or a quiet adventure with your dog, this is camping at its most restorative.
