  • 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).

What customers say

This hilltop campsite offers a "wild camping" experience with stunning, breathtaking views. Guests praise its natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and welcoming hosts. While some earlier reviews mentioned a lack of showers and a rough access road, newer reviews confirm refreshing cold showers and adequate facilities for this type of stay, with the manager confirming showers were to be operational from July 2026 and advising care on the unpaved track.

Primitive grass tent campsite (wild)

Liked Great site and facilities, had a very realistic wild camping experience. Great views, plenty of pitches with a decent amount of space between us and the next. Not too overcrowded with pitches either.
