About The Batch Campsite
This tent only campsite has a classic, back-to-basics vibe, a small peaceful flat field situated just three miles from Cheddar and enjoying a picturesque location at the top of the Mendips. There are views across the channel to the heights of Pen y Fan and the lights of Cardiff. Pitches are all on grass and are surrounded by lush woodland where you're sure to spot an abundance of wildlife. If you don't want to bring your tent with you, then opt for one of the batch bell tents. The 5m all-weather bell tents each sleep up to six, complete with camps and self inflatable mattresses for four (bedding is not provided). For added comfort, you will also be provided will a table and chairs and a camp kitchen with utensils. Outside you will also find your own solar shower and steel fire pit with a griddle, perfect for some al fresco cooking underneath the stars. Peaceful and set at the end of a private road, the site welcomes BBQs and can supply tasty produce and meat for you to cook. There are also communal fire pits dotted around the camping field. Dogs are welcome.
The Batch Campsite is open from 29/03 to 31/10.
Site facilities include a toilet block, fridge-freezer and washing up area. No showers onsite. A communal BBQ area is onsite and the site can provide local produce including burgers, sausages and trout to help you fry up a tasty dish.

We were looking for somewhere chilled and wild and this place was perfect. The host was really friendly and helpful and all the other campers were on the same wavelength. The view to the Severn estuary is stunning, lots of lovely wildlife spotted too.
