  • Simple family-friendly Somerset campsite; pick your own pitch
  • On the edge of Timsbury, 20 minutes' drive from Bath and Wells
  • Firepits and wood available; 10 minutes' walk from the village centre
If you love looking out over lush green hills, but are also rather partial to being able to walk to the local pub, you’ll be in your element at Loves Hill Camping. This well-located Somerset spot is on the edge of the village of Timsbury – conveniently close to the village centre but just far away from the houses and cars to feel properly rural. This is an attractive and family-friendly spot where you’ll be able to relax by the firepit (available to hire on site, with logs on offer too) or take a 10-minute stroll to reach the village’s pub or fish and chip shop. There’s a supermarket there for supplies too, and bus stops to help you tour the area. There’s a laidback atmosphere here, with kids and dogs welcome and guests invited to choose their own pitch from the areas mown into the long grass. Facilities at this pop-up site include compost toilets, showers, a washing-up area, a shared fridge and charging facilities. You’re also welcome to set up a gazebo or awning to help keep the rain/sun off your pitch. This handy location isn’t all about access to the pub and shop; it’s also well placed for walks in the stunning scenery of the Mendip Hills and southern Cotswolds, or day trips to Bath, Wells, Bristol and a whole lot of excellent family attractions.

What customers say

This peaceful spot has private mown sites in wilder bits, perfect for seclusion. Guests love the friendly owners, eco-toilets, showers, and handy location for walks and village shops. A few handy tips: covers for outdoor sinks and air fresheners in the loos. A bit of farm dog bark or traffic hum can be heard, but most folks rave about it and plan to come back.

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked Nice location, good for walks and dogs and we got a particularly warm welcome at the Seven Stars pub!

Disliked A number of the toilets had locks that didn’t work. Would be nice to have some hot water to the washing up sinks. We were midweek so didn’t see the Horse Box breakfast!

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked A lovely, peaceful campsite and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The large field allows lots of space between tents and plenty of locations to choose from. The owner was welcoming and friendly. The site, including the facilities, were well-kept. The hot drinks and breakfast baps from the trailer in the morning were amazing - with ingredients sourced locally.

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked Quiet, rustic camping fields. Mowed areas to provide private spaces, almost didn't feel like we were on a campsite, perfect.
All basics, compost toilets, 4 showers, sinks and a communal fridge. Water taps, bins, recycling located around the site.
It was soooo hot and loved our stay. Just a shame it is only open during peak summer months.
I would definitely return if in area.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Loves Hill Camping is in a fantastic location for exploring both Bristol and Bath, making it a great base if you're travelling around this part of the country. The campsite itself is beautiful, peaceful and surrounded by stunning countryside views.

The facilities are simple but perfectly functional. There are compost toilets, and the showers are clean with lovely hot water. The washing-up facilities are cold water only, but were perfectly adequate for our 3 night stay.

The site manager is extremely friendly, affable and welcoming. There's a lovely little onsite shop where you can buy bacon rolls, teas and coffees, which is a really nice touch when you're camping. There's also a charging point where guests can charge phones and other devices, which we found incredibly useful.

There is a small village nearby with two shops for basic essentials, while Lidl and Sainsbury's are approximately a 14-minute drive away for a larger food shop.

Overall, a beautiful campsite with lovely views, a welcoming atmosphere and a particularly convenient location for visiting both Bath and Bristol.

Disliked Disliked

The surrounding local area wasn't particularly to my personal taste. There were quite a few abandoned-looking buildings and, if you're looking to explore on foot, there wasn't much for us to do within walking distance apart from visiting the local pub.

I was also travelling as a single parent with my 16-year-old daughter, who is still classed as a child/minor. The campsite charges £12 per person, and I personally felt it was a little steep to pay the same rate for a 16-year-old as for an adult. I think a reduced rate for children and young people would make the site more affordable for families, particularly single-parent households.

This is very much a personal preference rather than a criticism of the campsite itself, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Local attractions

Getting out on foot or bikes is a great idea in this area – there are lots of lovely trails to try in the Mendip Hills or the Cotswolds, both designated National Landscapes. A steam train trip on the East Somerset Railway (25 minutes’ drive) is a good alternative for those looking for more leisurely ways to see the scenery – and don’t miss the chance to venture underground at Wookey Hole (25 minutes) too. It may be the countryside vibe that you’ve come here for, but the area’s cities are well worth exploring – and easy to get to. Bath (20 minutes), Wells (20 minutes) and Bristol (half an hour) all have plenty to offer for visitors, with historic sights, family attractions and great places to eat. There’s more history dotted around the area too, with the likes of Stanton Drew Circles and Cove (20 minutes) and Nunney Castle (35 minutes) to visit. As the kids are more likely to enjoy an animal attraction, it’s also worth noting places like Chew Valley Animal Park (20 minutes) and Longleat Safari Park (35 minutes).
