About

Go almost wild camping, go glamping, go a bit wild glamping! Get close to nature in a beautiful environment.

Situated up a private track, sandwiched between woodland and a sweeping valley, with far reaching views to the Severn Estuary and to Wales. Get away from it all to your own special space. Peace, quiet, superb sunsets and dark nights.

Rent a pitch for your tent or hire a yurt or a bell… Gurt Yurt and Batch Campsite offers secluded, luxury glamping or a chance to go back to basics on our almost wild camping field. See the tabs for pricing and booking details for each.

Campfires are allowed at Batch Campsite – naturally – and owner, Tim, can help you fire one up for cooking if you need a bit of a hand. The team can also provide a range of local produce to cook up your own barbecue including trout, burgers, sausages, bacon, eggs, ribs, cheese and cider (all from within a three-mile radius)

Thirsty? Batch Campsite and our Gurt Yurt is within easy walking distance of several Somerset pubs, with the legendary Crown at Churchill a few hundred metres down the track; all pull gallons of local beers and ciders and dish up some right good pub food. Many of the neighbouring farms make their own cider and the Thatchers cider farm with it’s tap room is in walking distance,less than two miles away, in Sandford.

Booking – you can book on a number of websites we are featured on. You can book with Holiday Fox via the links on this website or direct with us by phone email text fb etc. We use roughly the same booking principles as most campsite booking websites.

Once we’ve given you a quote, we ask for a non returnable deposit of 15-20% to be paid within 48 hours with the rest to be paid a month before date of arrival. If you have booked less than a month in advance we would usually ask for full payment within 48 hours.

If you wish to alter dates or type of camping or numbers of campers and we are able to facilitate the changes we will usually ask for £10 admin. fee as well as any extra payment to or from us.

If you wish to cancel more than a month before arrival we will repay anything you have paid us minus the non returnable deposit. If you cancel more than two weeks but less than a month before arriving we will repay 50%of the total cost. We do not refund cancellations less than two weeks before arrival.

We can often be flexible about this given time and understanding. Almost always we can sort out any problem amicably.
