We’re back for more camping adventures in the Quantocks!
We’re off to the Quantocks for hiking, camp activities and good wholesome fun. Think outside games, smores on the fire and delightful countryside!
When and where
Friday 31st July until Sunday 2nd August 2026 at Quantock Camping, West Bagborough.
You can arrive from 3pm on Friday, and we’ll finish about 4pm Sunday.
Cost
Camping
Camping prices are per person (except the campervan).
You’ll need to bring a tent suitable for your group size - a 2-4 person tent for 2 people, rather than an 8 person tent for 1 person!

Recommended price place: £60
Supporter place: £70
Campervan: £110 (for up to 2 people)
You can borrow tents and other camping equipment from the Library of Things if you don’t have one.

We’ve got a few glamping options on offer. You can read more about them here. The glamping toilet block will be shared with campers on this trip.
All glamping options come with kettle, mini fridge, toaster, plates and cutlery.
Hedgehog glamping pod (up to 3 people): £180
This is a simple pod for up to 3. You’ll need to bring your own bedding.

A cute shepherd’s hut with a double bed.
Hideaway shepherd’s hut (up to 4 people): £260
A lush shepherd’s hut with a kingsize double (bedding included) and a smaller fold out double (bedding not included). Tucked away with great views. Private outdoor shower. Sorry, no dogs in this one.

Camping on a private grass field or glamping in the same field as described by the Quantock Camping website.
You’ll need to bring all your own camping equipment with you if camping.
Our group size could be up to 50.
There are 5 toilets (gender neutral) in the field and 1 outdoor shower. There’s an additional shower and toilet block in another field (gendered).

We’ve cajoled Robbie from Serving Bristol into a campfire cookout on Friday night. This will be GF and vegan, included in your ticket price.
Otherwise, it’s self catering. There’s no fridges but there are campfires you can use to cook. You’ll need to bring enough food for your breakfast and packed lunches.
On Saturday night we’ll go to the pub for dinner - you’ll need extra money for this, or opt out and make your own arrangements.
-
Dogs are welcome if they are well behaved. Sorry, no dogs in the Hideaway glamping option.
You’ll need a dog ticket, which are £5.

We’re working out the final details, but it will look something like the below. You can opt in/out of any activities.
Friday afternoon: camp games outside
Friday evening: campfire cookout
Saturday: short and long walk options
Saturday evening: walk to Rising Sun for dinner
Sunday: short and long hike options
-
We’re hoping to get the mini bus again. More updates on this soon.
-
We’ll have a couple of hike options available each day - a longer, more difficult route and a shorter one.
We ask for access needs so we can chat to you about what to expect and work out if it might be best to sit any hikes or activities out.
Group trips mean we move at group pace. Some people are faster, some are slower. We’ll take regular breaks and it may mean if you’re a faster walker there’s a bit more waiting around.
-
We’re now taking a 20% non-refundable deposit from each booking, except for low income and QPOC places. That works out at:
Supporter: £14
Recommended: £12
Campervan: £22
Hedgehog glamping pod: £36
Owl shepherd’s hut: £40
Hideaway shepherd’s hut: £52
Woodpecker (double): £26
Woodpecker (bunk bed): £13
If we can find someone to take your place, we can offer you a refund minus the deposit if you cancel within 3 weeks of the trip (we can usually find someone as we tend to have long waitlists).
If we can’t replace you, we can’t offer a refund.
Places are non-transferable. If you need to cancel please email queerhikingbristol@gmail.com.
In the 3 weeks before the trip we cannot offer any refunds. You can take out travel insurance to get a refund if you get ill beforehand.
This policy is in place so we can continue to run our events at low cost for people.
