There’s a rare kind of quiet that’s hard to find on standard campsites - not total silence, but the gentle sound of birdsong, rustling leaves, and the crackle of an evening firepit. That’s exactly why we created an adults-only haven at Batcombe Vale..

We're one of a small number of genuinely adult-only campsites in Somerset, and as a result it shapes everything: the pace of the mornings, the atmosphere around the fire pit in the evenings, the way guests tend to actually talk to each other.

AN EVENING CELEBRATING IN THE GLOW OF A KADAI FIREBOWL

What makes adult-only different in practice?

It's about curating an experience for people who want unhurried mornings, evenings relaxing by a firebowl. In other words, it's the freedom to leave the noise of daily life genuinely behind.

Just 30 pitches - you bring what you need. And the site does the rest.

THE LAKE AT SUNSET

Explore Bruton & Beyond (Or Just Stay Put) 

Located just minutes from Bruton, Batcombe Vale offers the best of both worlds. Spend your day visiting Hauser & Wirth, The Newt in Somerset, or Stourhead, then return to a peaceful, uncrowded sanctuary.

Yet for many guests, the vale itself is the main draw. Mornings begin with coffee by the lake as mist lifts off the water, while evenings unfold slowly around a firebowl beneath dark, star-filled skies that stretch toward Glastonbury.

Without the pull of a crowded itinerary, you set the pace entirely. Whether you choose to explore local artisan towns or simply soak in the genuine tranquillity of the valley, the freedom to switch off is what truly makes it special.

Bring your dog

Dogs are genuinely welcome here. Not only that, but the surrounding countryside is perfect walking territory — quiet lanes, open fields and footpaths that feel made for an unhurried wander. As a result, the relaxed atmosphere means your dog will decompress just as much as you do.
