  • Peaceful Somerset escape at a family farm on the outskirts of Bath
  • Bath Racecourse five minutes’ drive and Bath Abbey 15 minutes
  • Dog-friendly location with personal firepits available to hire
Looking for a peaceful spot that’s handy for the historic sights of Bath? Off-grid Lansdown Campsite is set on a family farm in stunning countryside atop Lansdown Hill, making it one one of the closest sites to the city centre yet far enough away to be unaffected by its buzz. It’s also a clever choice if you’re weekending from London or Wales, as the site is only 15 minutes’ drive from Junction 18 of the M4, with easy access from the A46 and A420, just outside Bath's Clean Air Zone. So what’s included with your stay? This off-grid site on a working farm has modern showers and a washing-up area, drinking water and a communal firepit (free to use with purchase of a bag of logs) – just the job for cosying up around after days of exploration in Bath and Somerset. If you'd rather have a firepit to yourself, personal firepits can be hired for an additional fee. Dogs are more than welcome, and they can have a stroll around the farm fields (please keep them on a lead). The site is right opposite Lansdown Park and Ride (catch Service 31 right into Bath city centre; it runs every 15 minutes), so you can abandon the car for the duration of your stay. It’s also around 20 minutes on foot from Bath Racecourse and a couple of foodie pubs, and within easy reach of walks on the Cotswold Way and around Beckford's Tower.

What customers say

This campsite's prime location, directly opposite the Park and Ride for Bath, is consistently praised. Visitors appreciate the spacious, flat pitches and friendly, helpful owner. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are generally reported as clean and functional, though some reviews suggest they could be improved. Security is a positive point. Minor concerns include occasional road noise and, at peak times, the capacity of facilities.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Really convenient for going into Bath, simple site but almost everything you need. Friendly owner. Having a giant connect 4 game and a gazebo to use was a really good touch.

Disliked Having a charging point for mobiles would be extremely helpful. More than one hook in the shower would also be really useful.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Very nice peaceful campsite. Location was good near the park and ride. There were also a couple of local walks you could do. Washing up liquid and sponges were provided, which was nice. No big issues really.

Disliked The showers could do with updating - some things were broken, like one of the shower heads wouldn't stay attached to the wall so you had to hold it while showering. Could be a bit weak too. Not luxury but not bad either!

Local attractions

First stop Bath? Take a bus into the historic city centre (15 minutes on the bus) to visit the ancient Roman baths complex, the neighbouring abbey and the Jane Austen Centre. If you require a bit of pampering, book saunas and massages at Thermae Bath Spa, which has cracking views of the abbey from its rooftop pool. When you fancy a stroll from your pitch, head for Beckford’s Tower and Museum (10 minutes’ walk), a neoclassical folly with spectacular views over Bath from the top of the tower. You can be on the long-distance Cotswold Way within 10 minutes’ drive, and there are also a couple of golf courses around 15 minutes by car away. When you have young kids who need entertaining, your best bet is Avon Valley Adventure Park (20 minutes’ drive), a petting farm with a soft-play centre. There are brightly painted barges to see on walks along the Kennet and Avon Canal from cute Bradford-on-Avon (25 minutes), and an aqueduct built by engineer John Rennie in 1801 to check out at Avoncliff (35 minutes), where you and the family can enjoy lunch in a historic canal-side pub.
