About Butcombe New Woods

Nestled amongst acres of glorious countryside within the Mendip Hills AONB, you'll enjoy private use of a quiet five acre woodland surrounded by fields of sheep and a wooded valley. You have a sunny clearing to pitch your tents, 37m x 13m of grass with five small fruit trees. A fire pit is provided, along with a sack of fire wood. There's no electricity supply on site, some solar lighting is provided but this is essentially a wilderness camping experience with all the basics. This site is for tents only, no vehicles are allowed on site. Parking is immediately outside the entrance to the field and there's a 60m walk to the camping area (largely level but with a short gentle downhill slope as you enter the field). Wheelbarrows are provided to make your arrival easy.

Butcombe New Woods is open from 3rd to 6th May, 24th May to 1st June, 26th June to 1st July and then for the summer holidays.
