BareCamp — naturist camping festival
Thorney, near Langport, Somerset, England
The organiser announces bookings opening in November 2026; use the current event page for the new booking release and terms, not a 2026 form.
A week-long naturist gathering with crafts, music, games and gentle camping-festival energy at Thorney Lakes. Bare West Events has announced 16–23 August 2027, with organised activities across the campsite, farm and lakes and bookings due to open in November.
Nudity policy
Naturist festival; ticketed event dates only
The organiser says naturism is available across the hired campsite, farm and lakes during BareCamp.
Do not go off site naked; Thorney Lakes’ general camping operation is not a year-round naturist venue.
Facilities
- Sauna: A sauna is explicitly included in the announced 2027 activity programme.
- Showers: Host campsite shower facilities.
- Restaurant/Cafe: Festival bar and food service; meals are not assumed included in admission.
- Parking: The host campsite permits parking at camping pitches; final festival arrangements come with the booking.
No swimming Pool, Jacuzzi or Steam room is confirmed; Thorney Lakes’ fishing lakes are not swimming-pool facilities.
Access & visiting
Advance event booking is required. The announced format is a week-long gathering; current 2027 day-visitor terms have not yet been confirmed, so neither Day-pass nor Overnight-stay required is asserted.
Age & supervision
The checked event information does not explicitly establish under-18 admission. Confirm with the organiser; a family-friendly host campsite does not by itself confirm the age policy of its naturist event.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
16–23 August 2027; event access only, not year-round naturism.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Use Thorney Lakes’ official rural entrance near Langport and then BareCamp’s ticket-holder arrival instructions. The host publishes what3words ///behave.campsites.mere.
Parking
Follow BareCamp’s booked pitch and parking allocations; the host permits vehicles beside normal camping pitches, but the festival’s layout and arrival window take precedence.
Finding the naturist area
Report to BareCamp reception before entering the clothing-free event area, then follow the organiser’s directions to the pitch and activity spaces.
Where naturism applies
The clothing-free event covers the hired site during its dates; public roads and off-site areas remain outside the event.
- Bookings are announced to open in November; check the live organiser page for the current release status.
- Confirm pitch, electrical hook-up and any day attendance directly with Bare West Events.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-10. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
