  • Peaceful Somerset escape at a family farm on the outskirts of Bath
  • Bath Racecourse five minutes’ drive and Bath Abbey 15 minutes
  • Off-grid site with showers; barbecue hut, sauna and hot tub all extra
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, with views over the city 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. So what’s included with your stay? Modern showers and a washing-up area, drinking water and a communal firepit, which is lovely to cosy up around after days of exploration in Bath and Somerset. Luxurious amenities that come with an extra charge include a barbecue hut, sauna and hot tub. Dogs are more than welcome, and they can have a walk 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, and it’s also walking distance (around 20 minutes on foot) from Bath Racecourse and a couple of foodie pubs.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its excellent location, being directly opposite the Lansdown Park and Ride for easy access to Bath. Guests highlight the helpful and friendly staff, particularly John, and appreciate the well-maintained, flat pitches. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are consistently described as clean, with recent additions of more showers. Some guests noted a need for more toilets and showers during peak times and a lack of hot water at the washing-up area, which the manager has confirmed will be addressed. The site is also recognised for its secure entry system and peaceful atmosphere.

Andy B.

Non-electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked Right on the edge of Bath, literally opposite the park and ride so we walked over, caught bus into town for the day, went sight seeing, few beers and bus back.

Disliked £30 per night and no electric hook up seems steep however you soon realise you are probably paying for location as it doesn’t get better/easier to visit Bath than pitching up here!

PHILIPPA Y.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely owner. Showers and toilets clean. Shoers hot. Lights in steps going up to them. Nice communal bbq area. Security gate to site with ones own code. Site is level so no
having to pitch on slopes. Site is newish so owner is still making improvements and perhaps adding things. Washing up area under cover and owner fixed the hot water in it as it wasn't working properly. Cose to Bath park and ride.

Disliked Nothing to dislike, although some people might not like the cold water in washbasins.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Ran by really cool and helpful people. Pitches are dead flat and mown, so well defined. Really nice camp fire area in the centre. Facilities were good quality and all working well. Great organisation, gate code and all info needed supplied beforehand via text and email. Also a really handy location, opposite the Lansdown Park and Ride - which we used for a hassle free trip into Bath.

Michelle L.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked This is a great campsite for getting to Bath. The park and ride really is opposite which was very convenient. The campsite itself is nice and flat. The toilets are kept exceptionally clean, and a couple more showers had been delivered while I was there, making a total of 4.
