  • 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, 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 (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.

What customers say

Great spot near Bath's Park and Ride. Reviewers love the clean washrooms, helpful staff, and spacious, level sites. While some found it muddy when wet and noted cool dishwashing water, management's working on it. Secure entry is a plus. Many hope to return!

Liked For winter time it was fine for what we needed! Good spaced pitches and in such a great location!

Campsite staff (John & Johns dad) were just the loveliest❤️

Disliked I really don’t like complaining but i’d say the cleanliness of the toilet, as an avid outdoor goer, i’m aware toilets aren’t going to be the cleanest, but I think I just expected this one to be a bit cleaner than it was!

Won't be using it again.

Paul B.

Primitive grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Location to the park and ride for Bath. Also the staff were really friendly.

Disliked The facilities were very poor (only 1 portable loo/shower for the overflow area) and therefore it was very expensive, particularly as there was not hook up either.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Paul
Thank ypu for your feedback.
The price was peak rate as it was the Christmas Market time, although I will be revising the price next year.
Sunday - Thursday will be half price.

There was other toilets and showers in the field at the campsite which you could of used, I just placed one at the overflow area to make it easier for everyone at the overflow.
Eventually I will install more services there, a single toilet block costs around £4000 so I could not afford to invest more especially at Christmas and on the 1st year of trading.

No Ehu was made clear upon booking.

Best regards
John

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.
