The crunch of gravel beneath your feet and the gentle rustle of canvas in the Somerset breeze announce your arrival at this no-frills camping spot, where the focus is firmly on getting back to basics beneath open skies. Named with a playful nod to Beatles nostalgia, this is camping stripped down to its essentials—perfect for those who value simplicity over bells and whistles.

Tucked into Somerset's patchwork of green fields and cider orchards, The Yellow Submarine offers a refreshingly straightforward pitch for tents, campervans, and caravans. It's ideal for independent campers who know how to entertain themselves, families seeking an affordable getaway, or anyone using the site as a launchpad for exploring the South West's wealth of attractions from Cheddar Gorge to Glastonbury.

Facilities are kept simple with toilets and showers covering the necessities. Check on arrival about campfire policies—there's something wonderfully old-school about the possibility of flames crackling under a Somerset sunset. The vibe here is uncomplicated and welcoming, a place where the adventure happens off-site and the campsite itself is just your comfortable canvas basecamp.

The Mendip Trail

Traverses the Mendip Hills ridge with sustained climbs and exposed limestone terrain—challenging gradients and uneven paths make this unsuitable for buggies and tough for younger children. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near grazing livestock. Rewards effort with panoramic Somerset views, ancient woodlands, and distinctive karst landscape features including gorges and caves. Best tackled in sections; wear sturdy boots and check weather as hilltop sections can be exposed.
