Lansdown Campsite

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

Great spot for Bath, with friendly staff & hot showers. Mostly flat, spacious pitches. Some found facilities basic/spread out. Occasional road noise & wish for more loos at busy times.

Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews. Last updated 04/08/2026

Great location for transport into bath centre as regular park & ride bus service opposite!

From the manager: Thank you for the review
If you read the email for access , you would of found there was a washing up area. Its a field with a few structures inside..perhaps check them all next time if you are not going to read the email?
The washing up block is at the top of the small field, the same field as the toilets , its grey and has big windows. - As seen in our gallery, and mentioned in past reviews.
If you couldnt find it in a empty field then you could of called myself as every one gets my number.
- Washing hands with cold water in the summer is hardly a problem.

Liked The location is perfect for a visit to Bath. The busstop into town is across the street (drives every 15 min).
The camping itself has spacious pitches. Enough clean showers and toilets and a friendly owner who you can approach very easily who helped us out with a low battery. Thanks for that again.

Disliked Nothing. Just good.

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.
