Accessibility

We believe that the outdoors should be for everyone. Everyone should have the ability to access camping holidays and outdoor adventure experiences. Our site is off grid in the Mendip Hills and so it will always have inherent limitations but we are working hard to ensure we are as accessible as possible.

The Mendip Basecamp team cares about inclusivity and diversity. We are always happy to chat about how we can make a stay more accessible, comfortable and enjoyable for you. Contact us at hello@mendip.co.uk and our team will be happy to discuss how we can help. We are always looking for ways we can improve, if you have ideas of adaptations we could make, please do get in touch. We will always endeavour to make adaptations wherever possible.

Although we are off grid, we can provide access to power points in the daytime to charge medical equipment and can store medical supplies in a fridge/freezer overnight if required. If you require these, please contact us before booking so we can ensure we can accommodate your needs.

Limitations

Off Grid

The campsite is set in a field and whilst there is a basic track for vehicles, we do not have any asphalt pavements.The campsite is surrounded by ancient woodland with uneven wood chipped paths. Please note, some of the ground in the woodland and in the campsite can be very uneven

No electric hookups

We do not offer electric hook ups. However, if you have medical needs that require you to leave something in a fridge or freezer overnight, or temporarily connect to the electric during the day time, our team in the Pavilion will be happy to support you.

Woodland paths & visibility

In order to support our licence and the dark sky initiative, we try to keep lighting to a minimum after dark. We do light some of the woodland paths in the evenings and ensure toilets and showers have subtle lighting; however, we recommend bringing your own torches.

Home

Basecamp is a family-run campsite in the heart of the beautiful Mendip Hills, just outside Bristol, five minutes from the M5. Surrounded by ancient woodland, our spacious campsite is perfect for families, small groups and adventurers.
