"No Mow May"
Thank you for choosing a camping holiday - you've already made a great choice for the planet.
Few holidays leave a lighter footprint than camping and that's something we care deeply about. At Batcombe Vale, we go even further - creating an eco-friendly escape you can feel truly good about.
We strive to offer truly sustainable camping in Somerset - keeping the site deliberately small and low-key, protecting the dark skies, preserving the natural beauty of the vale and encouraging a simple, unhurried stay outdoors.

Our environmental approach to Sustainable Camping in Somerset
Sustainable camping in Somerset means something different to everyone. For us it means making small, consistent choices that protect the vale, the wildlife and the landscape our guests come here to enjoy:
Land & Wildlife Protection
Resting the land: Short season allows soil, wildflowers and wildlife to regenerate naturally.
Limited pitches: Reduced capacity minimizes physical pressure on the local environment.
Wild spaces: Designated farm and campsite areas are left entirely untouched for habitats.
Smart mowing: Grass cutting is carefully timed to protect ground-nesting birds.
Biodiversity & Planting
Tree planting: Over 50 new trees have been established on-site since 2020.
Native species only: All planted trees, wildflowers, and hedgerows support local ecosystems.
Pollinator support: Wildflower banks and beehives were introduced in 2021.
Resource & Waste Management
Water conservation: Push-button showers drastically reduce unnecessary water usage.
100% paperless: Bookings, tickets, and administration are handled entirely digitally.
Zero-sort recycling: Partnered with McCarthy Marland to sort all waste and recycling off-site.
Atmosphere & Travel
Dark sky preservation: Minimal lighting reduces light pollution and protects nocturnal wildlife.
Low-impact travel: Special rates for cyclists and walking routes promote car-free stays.
This is a place where nature sets the pace.
Keeping it that way matters to us - and to the guests who come back year after year. If this sounds like the right place for you:
