Thirty spacious pitches. One wildlife lake. Gloriously dark skies.
A private Somerset valley. A slower pace of life.
The closest campsite to Bruton.
For over 40 years, campers have been finding their way to our little corner of Somerset. Set within a private 120-acre valley, Batcombe Vale is an adults-only, dog-friendly campsite with just 30 spacious pitches, only four minutes from Bruton.
Wake to birdsong and Friesian cows grazing the surrounding fields. Wander down to the wildlife lake, follow footpaths through the valley, or simply find a sunny spot and settle in with a good book. As evening falls, watch the last of the sunlight on the hills before gathering around your firebowl beneath the stars.
And when you feel like exploring, Bruton’s independent shops and restaurants, Hauser & Wirth, The Newt and some of Somerset’s loveliest gardens and pubs are all within easy reach.
