About Bath and West Showground Campsite
The Bath and West Showground near Shepton Mallet operates as a large-scale campsite across its 240-acre events venue, offering grass pitches for tents, motorhomes, campervans and caravans. It's particularly useful when other local sites are fully booked, and serves as a practical base for exploring central Somerset – the cathedral city of Wells and the Mendip Hills are both a short drive away, with Glastonbury and Frome easily reached too.
Facilities are geared towards short stays around events rather than long relaxed holidays: toilet and shower blocks, elsan disposal and water standpipes are provided across the site, but there's no shop, playground or swimming pool. Camping is generally available on a per-event basis, timed around the showground's calendar of agricultural shows, motorhome exhibitions and similar gatherings, so it's worth checking what's running before planning a visit outside event weekends. For anyone attending one of the showground's own events or simply needing a well-located, no-frills pitch in the area, it's a straightforward option.

What visitors say
⭐⭐⭐ We visited the Bath & West Showground for the Land Rover Show and had a fantastic day out. The venue is spacious, well organised and easy to navigate, with plenty of parking and good facilities throughout. There was a great mix of Land Rovers on display, from classic restorations to heavily modified off-road builds, giving us plenty to look around all day. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, making it a brilliant event for enthusiasts and families alike. A great venue for hosting large events, and we’ll definitely be back for future shows.

A great day out viewing the best of everything Britain's farmers , brewers, makers and bakers produce. Wonderful displays, great shopping and food outlets too. Would recommend as a day out or even 2 to anyone.

This was our first visit to the Bristol and Bath Showground motorcycle show and it was a nice venue to attend with plenty of parking for cars and motorcycles plus many exhibitions to look at. There are plenty of normal toilets on the site instead of those portable loos that are often found at events like this.We found a restaurant/bar inside one of the halls which was very good, offering a great choice of quality food and beers.Will definitely be returning fir the next motorcycle show
