Lickham Bottom Camp

Four privately pitched bell tents in 13 acres of Blackdown Hills AONB woodland, with a host who'll fire up the pizza oven for you.

Lickham Bottom Camp sits between two ancient woodlands in the Blackdown Hills AONB, a stream cutting through the 13-acre site and the nearest house a 15-minute walk away in Hemyock. With only four bell tent camps, you're unlikely to encounter another party unless you want to. Each tent comes with its own kitchen shelter, fire pit, and outdoor hot shower.

The pizza oven in the woodland is the kind of feature that earns its place: for £15, owner Penny will come and show you how to fire it correctly, supply the wood, and leave you to it. Reviewers are consistent on this being the highlight of a stay, and the practical thinking behind the kitchen tents and sheltered outdoor showers signals the same attentiveness elsewhere on site.

Hemyock village and The Catherine Wheel pub are 15 minutes on foot. Branscombe Beach is 35 minutes by car, and Lyme Regis about 45 minutes. Dartmoor and Exmoor are both reachable for a day out, which makes this a strong base for the eastern Devon and Somerset border country rather than a coastal camp in itself.

Before you book

Booking is through the Lodgify platform only; there is no separate owner website to browse.

“A rare thing: a genuinely secluded woodland glamping site that earns its seclusion. The owner presence, private kitchen tents, and woodland pizza oven make this feel designed rather than assembled.”
