Wild camping site with stunning Bristol Channel views
Adjacent to the West Mendip Way; Cheddar Gorge 20 minutes’ drive
Shops half an hour’s walk; Weston-super-Mare beaches 25 minutes’ drive

When you’re looking for somewhere spectacular to hold a party, a get-together with friends or just a weekend break with extended family, they don’t come much more special than pop-up Loxton Hill Wild Camping, 25 minutes' drive away from Weston-super-Mare in North Somerset. You'll get a good feel for how peaceful this site is on the approach, for there's no on-site parking and access is on foot: park in the village of Loxton, then walk for around half an hour along the West Mendip Way, and you're there. At the westernmost ridge of the Mendip Hills National Landscape, Loxton Hill Wild Camping is remote, with complete privacy and stunning views. There's plenty of space and no formal pitches, so you can all set up together – but be quick about choosing your spot, because there’ll be some competition for the best views over the Somerset Levels all the way to the Bristol Channel – little beats the sunset over the sea on a clear evening. Bring firepits and barbecues, canopies and tents and spread out over the hilltop – you’ll have it all to yourselves after all. Just be aware that this is ‘proper’ wild camping, so you’ll need to bring in everything you need, from drinking water to lights. There are two villages (Christon and Loxton) with shops within about half an hour on foot, and excellent pubs at Godney and Pilton (both around 40 minutes’ drive). If you need a bit of a scrub up after a few days of outdoor life, there’s also a spa at the local hotel (10 minutes).

Non-electric grass tent pitch (wild)

Liked Phenomenal 😊 spent 3 days here with my partner and two young children 2 and 4 years.

The view, the site and owners
We got there later than expected and they were incredible. Our pump broke he came with his generator pump.

The sun sets we're breathtaking. The view and site. We sort hot air balloon and paragliding.

Can't recommend this place enough. Will definitely be going back.

The toilet wasn't flushing as he was still working to get everything up and running.

Disliked Doesn't have a shower.
The road to get up is very rough.
