  • Simple family-friendly Somerset campsite; pick your own pitch
  • On the edge of Timsbury, 20 minutes' drive from Bath and Wells
  • Firepits and wood available; 10 minutes' walk from the village centre
Loves Hill Camping is a fuss-free pop-up site on the edge of Timsbury. This family-friendly spot is a pleasant place to spend some time, surrounded as it is by lush green hills and given its easy access to beauty spots like the Mendip Hills and the southern Cotswolds. Timsbury is also well-placed for day trips to all those West Country towns and cities you've always meant to visit: Bath (20 minutes' drive), Wells (20 minutes) and Bristol (30 minutes) are all within a short drive, opening up lots of varied day trips and family attractions. The site has plenty of space and operates a 'pick your own pitch' policy, meaning your group is free to roam over its generous grounds until you've found your favourite spot. Loves Hill Camping's facilities include composting toilets and showers. In addition, firepits are available to hire and logs can be picked up from site staff. Loves Hill Camping is conveniently close to the village centre but just far away from the houses and cars to feel properly rural. It'll take you roughly 10 minutes on foot to get to Timsbury's supermarket, pub and fish and chip shop; local bus services can also be flagged down here.

Liked: What a perfect camping location. The communication from the hosts was perfect. From the initial booking to the follow up email detailing what the site had to offer during our stay was exemplary. Nick and Becky ensure you have the most relaxed stay possible, from when you arrive to when you leave they are the perfect campsite hosts.

Disliked: Having to go home 🙁

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Nice site with lovely couple running it. Very relaxed environment with plenty of space even though it was bank holiday weekend. Showers and compost loos kept clean. I would go back. It was a very convenient location for places we wanted to visit near Bath.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: My Dry tent.

Disliked: Composting loo's our unexpected 1st & v.last experience.. Didn't bother with any other hoped for facilities. Mud track to pitch - only respite after nights heavy rain & wind to have traction off of site.

Liked: Booking online makes it more convenient and easier than other campsites. Has toilets and showers, even the breakfast van in the morning was great. Loved that you can arrive last minute and late by 11:30pm gives more road trip time! Staff are friendly and the site is very clean.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Stayed two nights, owners were super lovely and welcoming on arrival and throughout. The site is in a quiet location just outside Timsbury village. There are well kept clean composting toilets, hot and cold showers, sinks and also water taps dotted throughout the site. Plenty of space to camp and level pitches. The horse box serving hot drinks and breakfast baps added a nice community vibe in the mornings. Would come again, thanks guys.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Really lovely site. Warm and welcoming hosts. Younger and much more laid-back than CC Club sites certainly. I also really appreciated the location - close enough to reach Stanton Drew by car easily (my main goal) while also an easy walk to the pub in Timsbury (my second, but no less important goal).
