Croscombe with glastonbury tor in the background

Wild camping with Glastonbury Tor views in Somerset’s Mendip Hills
A 10-minute drive to Wells, and 20 minutes from Glastonbury
Wildlife and walks on site; pub a five-minute stroll away

With a spectacular south-facing position on the edge of the Mendip Hills in Somerset, Croscombe Camping overlooks open countryside and the pretty little village of Croscombe – and you can even glimpse Glastonbury Tor in the distance. This is relaxed and definitely wild camping, so simply turn up and pitch your tent wherever you like in the field. There’s masses of room for couples, families and their dogs (on a lead please), and while campfires and barbecues are allowed, please raise them off the ground to protect the grass. Simple facilities include hot showers and flushable loos. As long as it’s dry you can park next to your tent, and if not, there’s a car park on site. There are no bins though, so please take your rubbish home to recycle. You can get on to country walks right from the campsite, where you might get to see foxes, badgers, deer and rabbits, or bring your bikes and enjoy a cycle ride around quiet country lanes. It’s only a five-minute walk to the nearest pub, The George, which serves Somerset scrumpy cider along with excellent pub food, takeaways and pizza on Saturdays.

Liked: I loved the amazing view! The camp site was a lot easier to find than expected. toilets and showers were very clean and well kept. The lady that ran the place was very friendly! Great ground to pitch up on, not rocky or uneven. So many ladybirds!

Disliked: Just like everywhere that I camp the midnight run to the toilet!

Jo M. May 2025

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Loved this campsite. For us it was the perfect combination of wild camping (off-grid, just a gently sloping field with stunning views) and a touch of luxury (flushing toilets, running water and piping hot showers). The owners were welcoming and helpful, and made a point of not overbooking so that there was plenty of space for every tent to have its own space and privacy.

Disliked: Nothing!

Frankie C. May 2025

Shepherd's hut

Liked: The location is beautiful and a short drive into Glastonbury. The views are stunning and you can see Glastonbury Tor as you step outside the Sheppard's Hut.

Inside, although basic, there is everything you need. The bed is very comfortable, there's a table and chairs, even a mirror. It was clean. Despite not having any electrics and being so rural, phone signal was really good. I also felt safe as a solo female traveller which is very important.

Hosts were very accommodating to the fact I checked in later in the evening after watching the sunset from the Tor.

I have rebooked to stay again!

Local attractions

Catch the Somerset history vibe with visits to the flamboyant, Gothic-era Wells Cathedral (10 minutes’ drive), and check out the Bishop’s Palace and Gardens too. Glastonbury (20 minutes) has an atmospheric abbey of its own, and loads of quirky little shops selling joss sticks and silver jewellery, while the darker side of local life is revealed on ghostly guided walks of Shepton Mallet Prison (10 minutes). Want to breathe in more of that fresh Somerset air? Scramble up to the top of Glastonbury Tor (20 minutes) for far-reaching views of the Somerset Levels (30 minutes), where you can spot wading birds on walks and cycles through sleepy villages. For more hardcore exercise, take a climbing course on the limestone cliffs of Cheddar Gorge (25 minutes). Animatronic dinosaurs, cave tours and mini golf may well keep kids entertained for much of the day at Wookey Hole Caves (15 minutes), or you can clamber aboard a steam train on the East Somerset Railway (15 minutes) to chug through the countryside. And if you’re holidaying with teens, pray they don’t know about Clarks Village (25 minutes), or they’ll be busy spending your retirement fund in the cut-price designer outlet stores.
