Situated up a private track, tucked between a woodland and a sweeping valley with views stretching to the Severn Estuary and Wales, Gurt Yurt and Batch Belles Campsite offer a peaceful escape into nature. Whether you're looking for a luxurious glamping experience or prefer the simplicity of wild camping, this site provides both against the backdrop of magnificent sunsets and starlit skies.

Gurt Yurt
Located in the Mendip Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, our yurt sits secluded in a private corner of the meadow, inviting frequent visits from local deer and serenades by wild birds. It features a king-sized brass bed with Egyptian cotton bedding and a skylight for stargazing. Equipped with a wood-burning stove and an electric blanket, the yurt remains cosy on chilly nights. The veranda is perfect for watching the sun dip below the horizon and hammocks are available for relaxing outdoors. Private amenities include a hot shower, wash house and a compost toilet, alongside a kettle, toaster and a single hot plate for convenience.

Bell Tents
There are four bell tents available, that each sleep six, they have hot water & electricity, an electric blanket and a wood burning stove.

Facilities are basic with toilets and a tap with drinking water. Shared fridge space is available, and all waste is recycled or disposed of by us. Parking is 50 metres from the campfield, with wheelbarrows provided to transport your gear.
